Engfer Pizza Works
Gluten-free options
537 Seabright Ave, Santa Cruz, CA 95062, USA
Known for fantastic vegan options and a casual vibe, this spot serves up crispy pizzas and self-serve drinks in a welcoming atmosphere.
I've lived in Santa Cruz for almost five years and have only recently gotten to try Engfer Pizza Works. Where have I been because they really offer one of the better vegan pizzas in town. They sport a large array of vegetarian friendly pizzas that can be veganized by removing the cheese (obvs) and using their house-made tofu spread and red sauce as a base for any pizza. They also offer a gluten-free crust too. Being newbies, it was fitting for us to try their New-Bee Pizza (vegan style) - a toasty mix of garlic, olives, and red bell peppers. A large sets us back about $35 including tax. We also ordered their soup of the day, which was this creamy sweet potato stew that was fully plant-based too. Our pizza was fantastic. Took about 15 minutes to come out but the crispy pizza crust with the fragrant toppings was really great. My only wish would be if they had some plant-based meat options or other appetizers besides the pizzas since we were hungry, but the pie itself was just great. Drinks are easy to handle as well. You simply serve yourself water or head over to the large fridges to grab another beverage of your choice, and pay at the end along with your pizza. Street parking is available if you're lucky to find some. It wasn't a problem for us visiting even late at night on a weekend.

Enjoy a cozy atmosphere with attentive service, and a vibrant menu featuring delightful offerings that leave everyone wanting more.
Such a great addition to Midtown SantaCruz! Hubby and I went after a friend recommended Sugo. We had such a great dinner! Prompt, attentive service, and incredible menu with vegetarian and gluten free options. Great cozy, clean, bustling atmosphere. After sharing a salad-plenty for two- I enjoyed the Mushroom ravioli. Hubby had a very nicely done margherita pizza. We will definitely be back, and try the order to pickup as well.
Lillian's Italian Kitchen
Gluten-free options
1148 Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz, CA 95062, USA
A vibrant spot known for consistently excellent dishes and a lively atmosphere, perfect for food lovers seeking a memorable experience.
Food is fabulous. There is a gluten free option to substitute polenta for pasta, which I do and it works well. I get the same dish every time because it's consistently excellent - Fettuccine (polenta substitute) with Braised Beef Ragu. Try it! If the noise level didn't get so high, it would be 5 stars.
