I almost went to Dominos, but I saw this place just down the street. Thank God I did. We were the only ones there since it was mid day on a weekday. Got the bbq chicken pizza and other half cheese. It was delicious and you can tell it’s quality ingredients. We went before Halloween and they decorated an indoor hallway and my daughter loved it. It was a simple touch, but the server was really nice and when I want some pizza in the future I’m getting it here.

Absolutely LOVED it here. The food, the hospitality and vibes were all on point. Everything here is so delicious and fresh. Even the fountain drinks were unique and so yummy! It’s the little things I really love and appreciate. (The pineapple cream soda is bomb!) It’s also family owned. The mother and son we spoke to were the sweetest.

We had a wonderful experience and evening at High and Mighty Pizza. We started off with a beer and wine. It was fun to be able to select from the variety of local beers and wines. We then enjoyed the caprese plate followed by the hot links and brisket pizza. They were happy to split the pizza half and half for us with brisket on one side and hot links and brisket on the other side. It's a fun and different environment for a pizza place. Saturday nights that have live music. The staff was very friendly.

This was our first time here and we enjoyed it. We had a veggie pizza with BBQ chicken. The pizza crust was thin, as I like it and Ithinkitwas sourdough. Although all of the veggies made it more doughy. The chicken was delicious, shredded with great BBQ flavor. They have a good selection of local beers on tap. And they had live music which was really good.

What a fun and flavorful surprise in Gilroy! This place does wood-fired pizza right — the crust is perfectly crunchy outside, chewy inside, and you can smell that real wood oven magic. We ordered the BBQ combo pizza, and wow — smoky brisket, pork, and classic BBQ flavors on a pizza? Sounds wild, but it works so well. Creative, bold, and absolutely delicious. The vibe is just as memorable — they play cowboy music, there’s a stage for live performances, and the décor has a playful Western feel that my 10-year-old nephew loved. It’s casual but full of character. And let me just say — the owner is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Super warm and welcoming, and so passionate about his food. After chatting with him, he even invited us to check out his BBQ spot next door (spoiler alert: also amazing). If you’re in Gilroy, don’t miss this place. It’s more than just pizza — it’s an experience.

Stopped in while passing through. Highest rated pizza place in the area and didn't disappoint! Many great looking pizza dishes available. I went with the BBQ Combo and it was fantastic! Probably my most favorite pizza. The brisket was sweet and mixed with the slices of hotlink... They nailed it! Definitely not your bargain pizza joint, but you get what you pay for. This is a MUST if you're passing through Gilroy.
