Upper Crust Pizzeria

This place is the best. the good is always fresh & all the pizzas are good here. Try the buffalo wings those are the best I have ever had… the calzones are to die for not all soggie and toasted just right…

Really good pizza, friendly staff, decent prices.
I just tried their pizza for the first time even though I go to Sea Ranch at least once a year. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and price. The staff was super laid back and fun.

We stayed in Point Arena and took a drive to close by Gualla Excellent pizza, crisp crust! Very friendly staff helpful too!

Had the margarita pizza here. Not bad at all, but nothing particularly wow. I’d give it a 3.5 stars. The service was good though! Perhaps the margarita isn’t the star of their menu according to other reviews which felt the pizza was outstanding.

I was on a little weekend getaway from the Bay Area with a special young lady that I’ve been trying to gain the favor of. A little hint to all the fellas out there– take your lady to Gualala if you have even one little romantic bone in you! You won’t be disappointed. But anyway, her and I wandered into Upper Crust after a nice, but cold, little hike around the beach. A little escape from the cold, and the garlic aroma confirmed our choice. We chatted a bit with the lady and young man, and they were very welcoming. Food always taste better from someone friendly, and I get the impression that most people in this town are that friendly. We had the place to ourselves, kinda seemed like this place was waiting for any young, adventurous, romantic (and hungry) couple. We ordered a double cheese, pepperoni and green pepper pizza and it was like crack! A cold Sierra Nevada washed it down. Thanks guys, we’ll def pop in next time we’re in town… by the way… what’s up with that low flying helicopter that keeps buzzin the town at night?

Have been ordering pizza for takeout from this business for 8 years, have had several dozen orders over the years, and I am never disappointed in the quality of the luscious pizza they prepare. A few tips: cash only, relatively expensive but worth it (and everything on the coast is expensive). Also, if it is prime hours on a weekend, especially a holiday weekend, call well ahead to make sure you get your order in for when you want it before they stop accepting new orders! They only have so many employees, and so many ovens, so in prime time, without planning, there could be a long wait. Also, the boxed little salads they have for grab and go takeout are nothing special but work in a pinch for providing a basic side of fresh greenery.

To preface, I am not a pizza lover. Like it, but doesn’t come in the top 20 for last prison meal selections.
Rock the house. I can’t find pizza this good in most cities for those around me who have the pizza love going on. Seriously impressed. Place was packed. Wish had taken pics but we’ll be back. Had ordered before and was just as good so should have reviewed then. Ordered three zas. One was pepperoni, jalapeños, pineapple, onions, and peppers. Others were veggie which had artichoke and other veg, and small cheese and bacon for the kid who is quite picky but ate it for the next few meals until gone.
Crust was not overpowering or thick and doughy and all the ingredients were a perfect combination of oohhh and ahhh. Had me reconsidering my lack of love for pizza.
If you aren’t up for cooking and want some of the best pizza ever, do it. We are still talking about how spectacular this place is. If you’re renting a house in the area, are a permanent fixture, or just passing through, stop off and get your pizza groove on.
We ordered takeaway so cannot review service, but some family members have enjoyed nice cold bevies while waiting for the order.

Good pizza it’s nice option when you don’t feel like cooking after a long day at the beach. They do close early so be sure to check the hours.

Wow! Great crust and pesto sauce is legit! For our last night in Sea Ranch, we wanted an easy dinner. We ordered the Margareta but substituted pesto for red sauce, so good! Pepperoni and mushroom was also good. And, friendly staff!

Love this place. Kids beg for it nightly when we are up in sea ranch. Reasonable prices too and the nicest people working here!

Had pizza twice at Upper Crust while visiting sea ranch. First day we asked for two smalls so we could try two. He made us a large and split it in half bc he said it would be cheaper. So nice of him. We got the Mediterranean and the House. Both very good, but our last night we ordered a large Mediterranean bc it was our favorite. It was so fresh and tasty and reminded us of a pizza we loved in Chattanooga TN
Be sure to get some of their ranch for the Mediterranean. It is the perfect compliment.

Seems like a mom and pop type place. Very friendly and very good pizza. Highly recommended!

Unexpected gem on the Sonoma Coast. The gluten-​free pizza was crisp and brown and indistinguishable from a gluten bomb, and the calzone (alas, not gluten-​free) with tomato, mushroom, and sausage was superbly crisp.

The wife and I were staying at the Seacliff on the bluff, The front desk recommend it we had ordered over the phone for take out but we arrived and asked if we could eat in they all obliged. Everyone at pizzeria was very nice and friendly the pizza was average. I would eat here again

So nice to know there’s a good pizza place around when we travel to Sea Ranch. My family likes the pizza and we enjoy supporting the local businesses.

Let me begin by saying that I LOVE pizza. I could eat it all day, everyday, for the rest of my life. That being said, my boyfriend and I have visited many different pizzerias, with him being very hard-​pressed to truly appreciate anything not homemade. We ordered pizza from Upper Crust on our first night’s stay at the Sea Ranch, and we both had the same exact reaction. This was seriously the BEST pizza we had ever had. So good that we broke our rule of only eating out one time during our stay at Sea Ranch, we ordered another pizza the night before we left.
The staff was really kind and the prices were certainly reasonable for such quality. They don’t deliver, but who can complain about the beautiful drive?
I definitely recommend this pizzeria for your next visit!

Walking up this place smelt amazing! I always judge a pizza joint by the smell outside. I ordered the meat lovers, added pineapple of course, and an order of wings. The pizza was great, they do a really good job on their crust. It’s very old school pizza parlor not chain pizza crust. The wings were good to, often when you get wings from a pizza place they are suuuuper fatty, not here. The customer service was great too, I think there was a big party in front of us and they were able to squeeze us in between their order and we only waited 20 min. Over all, great place, I will definitely be back next time we are in town.

OMG what a surprise! Pizza that has high quality ingredients, dough that is beyond expected, friendly people, fair prices.
We eat pizza about once a year — mainly because it is usually crap. This is the exception.
I like watching dough being spun in the air. I like marinara sauce with outstanding Flavors. I like fresh ingredients evenly spread around the pie. I like the crust cooked nicely and all the ingredients done right.
Whodathunk we would find this in Gualala!

Upper Crust serves a mean pizza! By mean, I mean good. Excellent in fact. The crust is proper, toppings are fresh and the tomato sauce is slightly spicy. We had a large House Combo and were very satisfied. The pies are fresh, non-​greasy and hand-​made before your very eyes. This pizza is way, way above your average take-​out.
A selection of good draft beers was a surprise. Limited seating.
We’ll be back!

One of my favorite places to eat when we’re in the area!
They answer their phone consistently and the staff are super friendly in person or on the phone. Their crust is really crispy and tasty, ingredients are fresh and not too skimpy, and they have great gourmet selections (we love the Pesto Chicken). Recently discovered they they have a gluten free crust that is just $ 2 more than a regular pizza. That’s WAY cheaper than most places charge. The prices are fair considering the quality, quantity, and price range for the area. There are a few small, bar-​style tables so you can eat inside if you want to, but it is best to take it to go and enjoy back at your cabin or hotel (or on the beach!).
Only drawback is the hours, they’re pretty much only open for dinner. If you’re hungry at lunch time, you’re out of luck.
