While visiting the area, my kid noticed the logo from a TikTok she had seen. We decided to give it a try and both the food and the customer service were excellent. The owner has a great vibe, and he has excellent staff supporting him. We tried a Pepperoni pizza and it was quite delicious right out of the brick over. It had a great undercarriage, not too burnt. Perfectly crips. The area was quiet, we were there around Noon on a Saturday.

This place is such a dive. Horrible ambiance and terrible customer service.. The employees are the rudest! I actually saw the short fat guy with the baseball hat and square head pick his nose before serving a costume behind the counter. Then he denied a lovely lady use of the bathroom because he insisted she order before she washed her hands and used the restroom. While her daughter was trying to figure out what she wanted to order. He was one of the rudest men I have ever seen treat a women. Obviously he was a Woman hater! Because there was no reason to turn her away to use the restroom, and insisting that she . I have never encountered such a troll of a man Please people don’t ever eat there! He is a disgusting foul mouth little troll his service was Atrocious after Picking his nose and turning middle-age women and their children away do to his need for power over women. This place looks like hell too.

Customer service was excellent! We were greeted and served by the owner and his son. The food was quick! We ordered the lunch special which was two big slices of pizza, huge side salad and drink. Price was cheaper than a drive thru combo, and the pizza was so delicious! Yum! The dough was not soggy, but perfectly baked and toppings were fresh. Garden salad was made with the good, mixed lettuce, not cheap iceberg. Atmosphere was cool and we liked the retro decor. Will definitely return next time we visit Santa Barbara. Thank you for the great dining experience :-)

Was visiting Santa Barbara and decided to stop here for lunch. My kid said she’d seen their TikTok’s , and she wanted to try. We were greeted by the face of the company himself, Beto; genuinely friendly and kind man. Great staff running the place as well.The food: the pizza was great. It’s brick-oven baked, and it had the perfect amount of char around the crust. Ingredients are fresh. Definitely enjoyed our lunch.Place was very clean.Located in an area surrounded by “Goliath” shops, give this small, family-owned “David” business a try. You won’t be disappointed.Vegetarian options: Custom, vegetarian pizza ready to makeParking: Parkin structures in the area.Kid-friendliness: Great for kids, and families.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible, no stairs.

If there was a 0 star that would be perfect because thats what I would rate this restaurant. I am reviewing this a one star because the other day my dad visited this restaurant and once he took a bite into his pizza he discovered there was glass in it which I find a hazard and extremely dangerous. Do not come to Californo Pizzeria ever. Ridiculous.

I thought that this was the worst pizza I had, but then I realized that they served us soup. It was supposed to have a dash of vinegar, but they doused the whole thing in 1/4” of vinegar (still there after we removed the pizza). The worst part, the dough was still soft, so it soaked the vinegar in and turned into an uneatable blob.

I normally don’t leave negative reviews but the guy making the pizza was super rude. I asked for a heart shaped pizza for Valentine’s Day and looked at me like I was asking for $1000.00 and didn’t even make what I ordered. For my 1st time I was very disappointed, the guy at the register however was super nice to
