    This place is trash. Service is terrible, but not only that, they tried to give us a cheesecake that a server took a bite out of. We watched them as it came from the serving window, and bring it back to the back room. When we asked where it was, they brought it back from the back room, it was warm. On top of this, we had a drink with a straw wrapper inside, even though we had no straw. This is absolutely disgusting and this place should be shut down. The bro vibes bleeding from here, they don’t care about customers or their job. Stay away, it’s a health hazard.

    Had ordered pizza, sandwich . I like personally sandwich but pizza was not up to mark. It’s was very thin with limited stuff. Would suggest to go with the Sandwich anytime. Restaurant was well maintained. And service was very smooth and fast. Also it’s very accessible restaurant as located on Main Street

    We came to sit with the company and were not delighted. The beer turned out to be just terrible, as if it was bought in a nearby store, it does not look like draft. The pizza was ordinary. No 90% of wine positions, nothing to choose from. In the end, I just drank water. The waiter was drunk, he smelled of alcohol.

    We ate Chicago ultimate deep pizza with Insalata salad. The pizza was good but not excellent. Its Crust was awesome but it had tomato sauce more than everything. You barely can find other things like sausage or mushroom in your pizza. The salad was Ok too. Their beers were perfect I liked beers. About the staff, they are friendly and kind. One more thing, deep pizzas take about 30 minutes to be prepared.

    Awesome deep dish pizza! We had the Greek, with artichoke hearts, feta cheese and olives. The crust was crispy, and the bottom was not soggy. How do they do that? We concur that it was better than the deep dish we had in Chicago, itself. They have a kids menu, too. My son had a cheese piadina, which is an Italian flatbread covered in mozzarella cheese, folded and baked (but not a calzone). 🤔 They have a great selection of beers and wines, too. Go deep for the pizza, though!

    Service is slow! However, we like the location. Don’t wait too long to order your deep dish because it takes 45 minutes. We had wings while we waited. They could have been crispier. The deep dish was delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh. Had the Chicago. Would return

    Ordered the deep dish half ham, half pepperoni and it was delicious! The pizza was flavorful, except I swear it didn't have any toppings. The caesars salad was yummy. I didn't care too much for the garlic bread. The service was friendly but SLOW! It took forever to get someone to take our order and to get the check!

    During my staycation down here in Santa Barbara, I got a craving for pizza. Never explored the area before and noticed that Paxti’s Pizza serves Deep Dish pizza. Never had that in my life and the photos looked exactly like what I wanted to try. Arriving there was easy as far as parking goes and public parking was just around the corner. I ordered a deep dish pepperoni, mushroom, and roasted garlic pizza. We were told that it would take around 40 minutes because it’s made to order. I didn’t mind the wait time, I figured it would only build my hunger. When the pizza came out, my mouth began to salivate instantly. It was so beautiful. WARNING!!! just like a hot pocket straight out the microwave, resist the urge to dig in and test the cheesy, crispy pizza small bites at a time. I couldn’t hold back and did burn the roof of my mouth. My fault entirely. I do have to say that the bite was very worth it. It’s everything I ever dreamed a deep dish pizza would taste like. It was a lot to take in per bite and the crispyness of the crust definitely just cradles the cheesy, tomatoey goodness perfectly. Im sure that I will find a deep dish pizza place close to where I live, but Paxti’s Pizza definitely set the bar very high. If I’m ever in the area again I will make sure to stop to get another pizza. The smallest size which was a 10” one was perfect for two.

    Love this place. We have eaten here several times now; it's always good quality and delicious. Pictured is the Patxi's Sausage Roll (has some spicy kick!) and the thin crust Classic Supreme (not cracker thin, more like a hand-tossed wood fired type of crust). Whatever we order, the garlic fennel sausage topping is a must - very flavorful!

    The deep dish pizza is always worth the wait! The tomato sauce pairs well with the honey “dipping,” for the crust! A huge shout out to our server for Chris for his friendly and happy service! Thank you Chris!

    Service was quite terrible. Ordered two regular pizzas and a deep pan. The two regular pizzas were finished and had to wait another 15 min on top for the deep pan. Kept asking for it and they kept saying 2 more minutes. The womens bathrooms were messy and the music was blaring in there. The pizza was ok, in my opinion not worth $17. Don’t get the cheesy mac n cheese !!! The description looks nice but it comes in a bread bowl and it’s all watery because it has been frozen 🥶

    I love true Deep dish pizza and Patxi's comes pretty close to perfect! It takes about 40 minutes from ordering to table but it is worth the wait! Grab a drink and a appetizer and people watch while you wait for the pozza. If you're in a hurry I'd recommend calling ahead and ordering. Overall I would recommend eating here with some friends or by yourself (I've done both) just bring your patients if you plan on ordering the deep dish.

    They open at Noon. I wanted a big slice, but they don't sell by the slices, so I got a small personal Pepperoni Pizza. The drink I had was a Modelo. Pizza and drink were good. Modelo was like my 4th drink I tried to order without looking at the drink menu. They didn't have either of the first 3 I mentioned, but it's all good. It was not crowded on a Saturday at around 1500 and I ate the bartop, which is normally first come first serve in most places.
