PIZZA BY THE SLICE
Sometimes you want great pizza without ordering an entire pie. At Upper Crust Pizza & Pasta, you can stop in for fresh, satisfying pizza slices made with the same care, ingredients, and family-inspired recipes that have made us a Santa Cruz favorite since 1979. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, an easy afternoon meal, or just one really good slice of pizza, we make it simple to get exactly what you’re craving.
Grab a seat and stay awhile or take your pizza slices to go. Either way, you’ll get the familiar Upper Crust flavor Santa Cruz has enjoyed for generations.
SANTA CRUZ'S BEST FRESH PIZZA SLICES
Ordering pizza by the slice is one of the easiest ways to enjoy Upper Crust.
There’s no need to wait for a full pizza when all you want is a quick, hot meal. Stop in, see which pizza slices are available, choose your favorite, and you’re ready to eat.
Our pizza starts with fresh dough, flavorful sauce, quality cheese, and toppings selected to create a satisfying combination in every bite. We put the same attention into our pizza by the slice that we put into the full pizzas coming out of our kitchen.
It’s a convenient option for locals on their lunch break, students grabbing a bite between classes, families looking for an easy meal, visitors exploring Santa Cruz, and anyone else who believes there’s always room for a good slice of pizza.

Anyone craving fresh pizza without ordering a full pie
One slice may be enough. Two might be better. We won’t judge.
Cheese and pepperoni are classics for a reason, but pizza doesn’t have to stop there.
Upper Crust offers a wide variety of pizzas featuring meats, vegetables, cheeses, and specialty topping combinations. Depending on what is fresh and available, the pizza slices being served may give you the chance to stick with a longtime favorite or try something new.
Can’t decide between two options? Order a slice of each.
That flexibility is one of the best things about ordering pizza by the slice. You can mix things up, sample different flavors, or simply grab the pizza you already know you love.
And when a slice isn’t enough, our full menu includes whole pizzas along with pasta, salads, sandwiches, appetizers, wings, desserts, and other Italian favorites.
