“ took a trip to the aquarium and decided to walk a little further back down to this yummy place of pizza. service was so amazing. you can tell they are putting their heart and soul into making this delicious pizza. the pizza is the perfect amount of cheese, yet the crust is the perfect amount of thin, yet still fluffy and crispy. the ambiance was great! only downside to my trip to pelican pizza was we were in a big group and had smaller room to sit. but that didn't beat the taste of a perfected pizza after a long monterey day. ”
