history

pizza! college! beer!

At Woodstock’s, we don’t just serve pizza — we serve the ultimate pizza experience. Our dough is hand-tossed made fresh daily. Our sauce is a secret zesty recipe made from vine-ripe tomatoes picked and packed within 6hrs! We are most known for our signature crust that is folded over the sauce to lock in flavor with every bite. We don’t skimp on toppings! Load it up your way with over 25 toppings, 6 sauces, and 4 crusts. It’s pizza, totally customized — and totally unforgettable. This is not NY style pizza, it’s not Chicago Style, it’s not Detroit style, it’s Uniquely Woodstock’s Pizza.

Since 1980, we’ve been California’s iconic college-town pizzeria, now thriving in Chico, Davis, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo, Isla Vista, San Diego and Pacific Beach. We’re all about good vibes, great food, and creating spaces where friends gather, pitchers flow, event nights get loud, and memories are made. Whether you’re a freshman or an alumni, this is your spot.

Grab a slice. Grab a brew, Grab a booth. Because core memories always start with exceptional pizza.
