“As far as neopoliton pizza spots go in Santa Barbara this is definitely up there. They have a tight menu and the pies all look great. Pricing is definitely on the higher side but it is artisan pizza as other reviews have stated. I knocked a star off because I felt like one of my two pizzas was undercooked and the garlic knots were also undercooked.“

“Excellent food and friendly people. Please support this amazing man’s business“

“I absolutely love coming here with loved ones for their pizzas, they are so delicious! I also love how sweet the workers always are. They always check in and make sure we don’t need anything else. As well as always being ready to answer questions! I have developed a dairy allergy and yesterday was my first time back since, Frankie was super helpful and accommodating! Really appreciate his help!“

“The pizzas are so delicious!!“

“This place is a gem (no pun intended re: their lettuce). The pizza is absolute perfection, with a crust that's somehow both crispy and chewy. But the real surprise was the salad—fresh, inventive, and dressed with a perfection - everything that should be - is shaved. This isn't just great pizza; it's a gourmet experience. Definitely coming back - jammin' band too.“

“We ordered the cheese pizza with extra cheese and garlic for my son's birthday and it was a big hit!“

“We had a great meal outside in a casual atmosphere. We ordered at the counter and they brought to us.“

“Wow! What a fantastic deal! I had my first Fatte's Pizza and was blown away by the quality and the amount of ingredients on my sticky fingers, pizza.Yes you can get delivery, and you still get two for one. The two medium sticky finger pizzas were a lot of food! We also got a small side salad and it was crisp and had a good price point.I feel bad for not trying them before , ..Hint: ask for extra cheese or parmesan on the side.Definitely our new go to delivery!“

“Best Pizza I have ever tried.“

“Best pizza in Santa Barbara by far 🙌👍“

“We stopped by Lucky Penny in Santa Barbara and I have to say—this place absolutely lived up to the hype! I ordered the Salty Surfer pizza with a few customizations: I swapped the peppers for mushrooms and kept the pineapple and prosciutto combo. The vodka-based sauce tied it all together beautifully. The crust was phenomenal—crispy, chewy, and packed with flavor. Truly one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time!

The frozen margarita was perfect for the warm weather—refreshing, balanced, and hit the spot.

We also tried the Caesar salad, which wasn’t quite to our taste—the dressing had a very bold, strong flavor that didn’t quite work for us. We also ordered the pepperoni pizza, which was decent, but the Salty Surfer definitely stole the show.

The only downside was the seating—we were with a group including kids, and there just wasn’t enough shade, which made it a bit uncomfortable in the heat.

Overall, though, the food—especially the Salty Surfer pizza—and the atmosphere made for a great experience. I’d definitely return (hopefully with a bit more shade next time)!“

“Great food, drinks, and desserts.“

“Been hitting this spot on the weekends , but will not as much anymore , i get their sandos, it's great sandwiches liked going here when they were a bit less expensive, prices everywhere is sky rocketing and the competition now to where I feel like I can just go somewhere else for same quality and price! Overall they are great ?“

“The food is soooo gooooooodd!!! I want to have more space in my stomach to eat more, the Tunisia Shakshuka is delicious!!! Small and family place with great service!“

“My husband and I got married here after our ceremony in the Mural Room of the courthouse, it was right across the street in a prime location.

They offered amazing service throughout our entire experience, at such a fair price!!! Andrew and his team went above and beyond to give you a beautiful set up, amazing drinks, and food that our guests raved about!! We loved the family style option of the chicken parmesan, pasta bolognese, and the Farfalla with pink sauce.

If we could get married again and again we would do it here. I highly recommend booking your wedding or event here!! The staff is so tight knit and really care about the service they’re offering. They were a big part of the reason we had such a great night!“

“We had a wonderful family meal, the service was excellent, the staff was friendly and accommodating!“

“delicious food great service. Victoria was so welcoming and made my family feel welcomed. servers were on top of things👍🙂😁😉“

“Best Food in Santa Barbara.12/10 ⭐️’s.“

“Great food and the kids exhaled the pizza. 10 out of 10“

“There are a LOT of options at the deli that are filling- my favorite is the box of an entree + 2 sides. They usually have 3-4 vegan entrees (one tofu, a couple faux meats, there was a vegan spanakopita when I went) and 3-4 vegan sides available (fingerling potatoes, sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc). This box is only 9$! I love that they don't upcharge for vegan options (buying animal meat costs 3 extra dollars!) like most other places do. The grocery store itself also has a wide array of vegan foods you might not come by elsewhere, despite it being pricier. The sandwiches are also great, filling, and flavorful. I enjoyed the smoky TTLA; there was a super delicious and flavorful vegan garlic aioli on it. I haven't tried the pizza at this specific location but pizza from whole foods has generally been pretty good and you can veganize any of them although it'll be a bit of a wait. Generally, the food is really yummy and well-priced for a filling vegan meal, as well as quick and easy if you're not waiting on a pizza.“

“After my experience with this little Cesar’s and especially with Carlos A everywhere else I go feels bleak and boring. I once ordered a pizza only to find out that they had run out of tomato sauce, I started to leave, feeling depressed when Carlos jumped over the counter and ran 43 miles to the nearest tomato sauce supplier and back in only 20 minutes! He then made my pizza in only 30 seconds. Carlos A is my hero and a role model for little Cesar’s pizza everywhere.“

“This is our go-to spot for our twice quarterly get together after Aikido class.“

“Excellent restaurant, cozy atmosphere, quality ingredients“

“Great 👍🏼 pizza 🍕 & cold beers 🍻“

“Was so good. We loved having dinner under the olive trees. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Raul makes my pizza every time. I don't know how, but let me tell you. If Saul makes your pizza, you're getting a great pizza. Dear Dominos, give Raul a raise. I have many food allergies and I've neverhd any cross contamination issues. This tells me Raul takes good care and pays attention to my order and makes sure I never end up with any dairy or meat in my food. Sounds simple but I'll let you know, it doesn't always come out this way at other restaurants. Thank you Raul, thank you.“

“I came in about 8pm with my family after a long day in the car. My toddlers loved the smash burger and we loved ours as well. The music was great and the servers were very friendly. The curry wurst was just ok, the burgers I would come back for.“

“During the LA wildfires, the staff at this location went above and beyond to support families here who have been evacuated and lost homes. Their caring, consideration, thoughtfulness, and tangible support was greatly appreciated by our impacted families. We are very grateful.“

“I used to dislike the taste of dominos but I think their new sauce combined with the various new crust options have upped their game. Also, several recent orders were so easy to complete online. The deal for two types of items for $7.99 is a great deal. Feed two people for under $20! And I give 5 stars for online ordering, value, and customer service!“

“Live band named last light was playing .. great band great music.. pizza was amazing.. drinks were cold. Service was great..pool was free when i was there.. id recommended this restaurant.
If i ever were to consider a 5 star rating, i believe that this would be a solid contender.“
