    Went in today with family including Grand children, food was decent, even though the very rude cashier got order wrong. She was not only rude too. us, but rude to everyone that had to encounter her. Would have left and told her off, but my Grandchildren were hungry. Will NEVER go back and will tell everyone not to go. Also more than half of the tables were dirty and needed to be clean. We had to sit at two different tables for our lunch. She had no name tag, but my receipt I had to ask for, had an employee #800

    Great Pizza ,Sandwiches and Salads! This is a consistent delivery option and they have restaurants throughout SB with salad bars! Longtime, solid pizza co. Bring the family! Delivery can be spotty...give them a hour and you'll get what you ordered.👍 And yet tonight we received tonight.

    This place is way more than just to buy pizza . It’s amazing . I haven’t seen a pizza place like this . It’s authentic, it’s vintage . It has a vibe that we won’t find in a regular pizza place . If you are in @santabarbara just stop by and get the feel of this amazing spot . It also has an arcade . Can you believe that . For some reason I am not able to add video but my girlfriend enjoyed playing it while we waited for our garden pizza . It’s delicious. Stop by this place and you won’t regret it .

    Loved the place, vibe was very chill, food excellent (pizza&wings) good beer. But the service not the best hard to find somebody to clean up tables napkins were very hard to find. We were there with entire football team(high-school). Over all I recommend RUSTY'S PIZZA.

    Its probably a pretty solid late night, on the way home, drunk pizza place. Service was good. The establishment itself is nothing special. It has a great location. The pizza was decent, we had the Rusty Special thin crust. The sauce is the best part of the pizza Original and flavorful.

    I ordered the medium 1 topping pizza, and I shared that with my friend. The place is big enough to host a big group of people. The cashier was a bit rude, but other than that we had a good experience. I thought the pizza was delicious! I ordered the pan which is thicker than the thin crust.

    We order 1 large half-half thin slice and a couple of the personal 6' inch lunch combos. We loved the pizza. The crust is crispy and soft at first bite. Very flavorful. They have a salad bar, it came with our combo.

    Pizza: personal pan ("thick") — pepperoni: was fine, ingredient quality wasn't bad. Reminds me of arcade pizza. Pricey, but overall worthwhile in California. I didn't mind eating this. Wings: paltry, many were "half wings" and there was little meat. Not worth getting. Had to go up and ask for the celery. Service: Just really terrible and unfriendly, uncoöperative, angsty, condescending and hostile. If my review were based on service alone, it would be zero stars, or lower.

    Looks super formal and upscale on the outside, but super Casual and kid friendly on the inside. Pizza is good and salad bar has good options. Indoor and outdoor patio seating.

  • 5/5 Tyler B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very dim lighting on the outside property, but large and spacious indoor area. Very delicious pizza and they also have draft beers, soda, etc. Would certainly recommend for anyone in town wanting pizza.

    Nice pizza place, reasonably priced, and kids loved it. The arcades are fun to finish your meal while kids can play. The service was pretty basic but did the job.

    Came here to pick up pizza for our boat ride with SB Sailing and Rusty's was the best decision we could have made for our seaward excursion. Thank you for double cutting the slices for our 6 pies. Taste and quality was perfect. They had our pizzas done right on time! Love this place and will come back whenever I'm in town again

    We were looking for pizza later at night and people at the hotel we were staying at recommended Rusty's. It was within walking distance of the hotels on West Cabrillo Blvd. The pizza was very good and so was the service. Very friendly staff. The crust was thin and crispy. The sauce was tangy with a bit of spice but not over powering. If I lived in the area it would be my go to.

    My family and I stopped here for a quick bite while we were on the way to Los Angeles and it was GOOD good! I’m not the biggest fan of pizza as it is but this truly hit different. I’ll be sure to revisit! Cheers to you from a Canadian in British Columbia!

    Good old fashioned pizza parlor with tons of seating and a handful of video games. We liked the thin crust better than the deep dish. Similar in taste to Round Table probably. Great tasting ingredients, quick service and reasonable prices especially for its location on State Street. Hand dryer in the men's room was broken but that was about the only negative. Hard to find many places that are very tasty where you can feed a family of 5 for about $40 - $50.

    Basic pizza restaurant with a salad bar. Decent pizza; indifferent service. Order at the counter and wait at a table.

  • 5/5 Kristopher Park (. 5 months ago on Google
    Pizza, video games, great locations. Rusty's continues to get it done. Their Salad Bar has no competition, even after 30+ years of business. Seriously, it's ridiculous. The lunch special is by far the best value, pizza plus salad bar is the deal. Dinner and delivery will cost you much more. Best location is on lower State St. in Santa Barbara. A must visit. Or throw your best birthday party!

    Honestly, we came because it's next to MOXI & they have convenient parking. Fresh salad bar but expensive. Pizza is decent. The cashier needs to learn basic manners and find her smile.

  • 1/5 Will C. 5 months ago on Google
    I haven't even gotten to the food yet but the staff was SO rude I couldn't even. They wouldn't answer my questions directly ("how big is this pizza here on your counter?") and just kept telling me hey the sizes are up there. Then I asked for water they said hey make sure you get only water and get it for your kids they're not allowed to get soda. The restrooms are all locked up with key code. I felt like I'm treated like a criminal here I wished I never came in.
