    Ordered a medium pepperoni and it was pretty tasty. Rare to find pizza I enjoy that much outside of NY. The service was equally great.

    booths are in horrible condition with springs out, Only reason i don’t give this a one is because the cashier was friendly. Maybe if the owner invested more on the place instead of making tiktok’s it’d be in somewhat decent condition.

    Great pizza and humble owner. We have been 3 times and we will definitely be back many more! Restaurants is clean with tables and some booth seating also. The owner even took the time to take a picture with our son! He has millions of followers on TikTok but again super humble, that goes a long way in my book! Wishing him and this restaurant nothing but success. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed!

    I’m NY homegrown and hands down the pizza, the sauce and meatball hero on real Italian crunchy bread was a real delicious surprise at this restaurant for our whole family. Salad was fresh and delicious with real good croutons. So happy we stopped here for lunch. We are sure to return!

    What a nice surprise! I stopped in for a late lunch in a hurry and ended up discovering a gem! The gluten free crust was AMAZING! Wood-fired and delicious! Alberto, the owner was so friendly and welcoming. I have a new favorite pizza place in town!!!

    Thin, light, fluffy and soft pizza. This is just not an ordinary thin crust pizza, unlike others. My family and I were visiting from Oakland and we were walking around looking for something to eat. We came across this place We first gave it a try by ordering one slice. We ended it up ordering seconds. We didn't have to wait much for our fresh pizza to be ready. Also, don't forget to say hello to the owner tik tok Betodiaz60 and support local businesses.👍

    I think it’s a little shady/odd when restaurants go by a different name on delivery apps, as I suspect a restaurant with poorer ratings is trying to hide. This was a solid pizza though. One slice was missing pepperoni completely, but the flavor was there. I would definitely order from here again, regardless of what name it is masquerading under 😂

    I love this place! Pizzas made to order! They make pizzas right in front of you. You can add as many or as little toppings as you want. Great quality too! Also, the people working there are super nice :)

  • 4/5 ShonQ R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very yummy pizza they have the best vegan cheese I've ever tasted on a pizza. There was a small mess up on one of my toppings. I asked for artichokes but didn't get them. Hence 4 stars instead of 5.

  • 5/5 Sky 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and great prices!! Definitely coming back in the future

  • 5/5 L S J. 1 year ago on Google
    5 stars. drove over by this area, 100 miles from my house for a vacay, thought we'd try this place, absolutely amazing! got a typical pepperoni pizza, amazing! service is amazing too! plus the atmosphere. overall amazing, def recommend this place!!

  • 5/5 Brenda M. 1 year ago on Google
    Whenever we go, we are just getting pizza to go and I wonder if most people are doing that too. Or if we are just going at slow times of the day. It often feels empty of in house diners, but again, I am not going during a lunch rush either. I love the BBQ Bacon Chicken Ranch pizza...also really like the Supreme. Sometimes we get 2 personal sized pizzas and sometimes just 1 large pizza. I also LOVE the garlic bread...I could just eat that for a meal! If you use a coupon, they do not always know how to use it, but it is always accepted. =D

    Amazing pizza! Some of the best pizza I have ever had for a great price! They also have a great gluten free crust that my husband loved. Staff are very friendly and helpful! 10/10 would recommend if you are in Santa Barbara!

  • 5/5 Daniela E. 2 years ago on Google
    Service is always great and pizza is so delicious. Eating here is a must when in Santa Barbara. 10/10 recommend!

  • 5/5 Sigma S. 2 years ago on Google
    A pizza place with vegan pies and good vibes, huzzah! The platform is good, crust delicious, and range of toppings an enticing alternative to the chefs creations. That said, I ended the night with the Chicken Chipotle, which was a unique pleasure, albeit an oily one. The sauce is amazing!

  • 5/5 Karina D. 10 months ago on Google
    Tried their chicken chipotle and it was the best pizza I have ever tried. I had a chance to meet the owner and he was as very friendly as well as his friendly staff. I will definitely be driving 1 hour to be back.

    If you’re looking for a sign to eat the best pizza in Santa Barbara this is it! Great costumer service, the owner actually came out and introduced himself, it felt as if I known the guy my whole life. The crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Definitely recommend this place

  • 5/5 Amber Z. 6 months ago on Google
    The staff are awesome, the pizza is bomb! I get the pesto sauce on the supreme instead of marinara -Bomb! They do have the best garlic cheesy bread-hands down! There salads and sandwiches are huge! Tasty!

    I was so hungry I didn’t snap a pic. This place saved us. We wanted something to hold our stomachs before heading to the pier for dinner and they sell slices of pizza!!! We had some slices with soda and what a relief. The staff is super friendly, great customer service. The place is very clean and they have restrooms for customers.
