“My wife and I drove up from Temecula to celebrate Valentine’s weekend in Santa Barbara, and as a big-time pizza lover, Cali-Forno was at the top of my bucket list. It did NOT disappoint. From the first bite, I knew this was something special. The flavor, the crust, the freshness — hands down some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. I even had the chance to meet the owner and his son, which made the experience that much better. Super genuine people. We caught him filming a Valentine’s TikTok while we were there — great vibes all around. It was so good, I went back for lunch one day and dinner the next. And yes… I bought an extra pie to take back home and enjoy throughout the week. If you’re in Santa Barbara and love pizza, this spot is a must. 🍕🔥“

“Wow!!! So impressed with the delivery service! I was with a few friends at the Kimpton hotel downtown, ordered a pepperoni pizza online, and it got to us in 25 minutes! We put special instructions to meet us at valet and got updates through text as the pizza was on its way! The driver was so nice and the pizza was hot and delicious! Thanks Rozzi!“

“**Title: A Charming Spot with Delicious Eats!**

Lucky Penny is an absolute delight! From the moment I entered, the cozy, welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The menu features a fantastic array of comfort food, and everything I tried was bursting with flavor. The breakfast options are particularly standout, especially the fluffy pancakes and perfectly brewed coffee. The friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast or brunch, Lucky Penny is a must-visit!“

“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.“

“This is a wonderful spot for fresh and delicious fare. Not a big place, so best for take out or delivery. Cash, credit/debit card payments.

Known for take & bake pizzas (which are, indeed, quite good) this was my go to for sandwiches. Fresh baked bread and plenty of fresh ingredients and quality meats. Design your own or request one of their signature options. Salads as well, if you're in to that sort of thing.

Highly recommended!“

“Honestly honestly the pizza here is just good in so many ways, the bread tastes great the toppings taste fresh the sauce is just right not to much definitely need one of these places in the high dessert coming from victorville this place is must have in my area 🫡“

“We stayed at the Agave Inn down the street and walked to find something to eat. Uptown Lounge came up with great reviews, including “best”” fries”, so we checked it out. Awesome bartender, recommended a nice tap beer and the fries were the “best”. My husband loved his crispy wings. Check it out you won’t be disappointed.“

The atmosphere makes it easy to relax and enjoy time with friends, with friendly service and plenty of energy. A great choice for casual dining, drinks, and a fun night out.“

“Great 👍🏼 pizza 🍕 & cold beers 🍻“

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

“Craving some pizza but hubby wanted Mexican. The public market was the best choice. The pizza was delish. I got the four seasons. The dough was very good. Not dry. Not too thick or thin. Just right. We are the whole thing even though we asked for a to go box.“

“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.“

“Great food, great location and not a long wait.“

“If you’re craving authentic Italian pasta and wood-fired pizza, The Copper is a must-visit for your next downtown dining experience!

I started the evening with a glass of Italian red wine and an antipasti board featuring Gnocco Fritto (deliciously deep-fried pizza dough), creamy burrata, Parma prosciutto and arugula. I also enjoyed golden arancini filled with creamy risotto, sweet corn and Parmigiano, succulent shrimp with asparagus, and a refreshing Caprese.

I love truffle, so as soon as I seen the Truffle Burrata Pizza it was a yes for me. The pizza is topped with burrata, portobello mushrooms, truffle oil and arugula. I loved how the truffle oil was perfectly balanced without overpowering the other flavors!

For pasta the Tagliatelle Verdi Al Pesto is a must if you love pesto. The homemade tagliatelle with pesto, spinach and a creamy burrata sauce. Rich, flavorful and absolutely delicious! Honestly the best I’ve had in town.

Everything I tried was full of flavor, and the evening ambiance made the experience even more special. I loved dining outside, but the beautiful ambience inside is also pleasing. The Copper is located right in the heart of downtown State Street, and a lovely spot for an Italian dinner, whether it’s date night or a night out with friends.

Highly recommended you give them a try! The pizza remained delicious heated up the next day too. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“Loved it. Should have started there. They had the cutest Valentine menus. Love the vibe and the servers were polite given the long wait. It was worth the wait food was delightful, clean and perfect portions. Love us some CPK. They let us sit at tables that were comfy even tho the place was packed. Might even make our reservations there next year.“

“Great 👍🏼 pizza 🍕 & cold beers 🍻“

“went in on my meal break while working in montecito wasn’t too hungry so I ordered a truffle which was good the pizza aroma smelled good eventually I’m sure will have a pizza from there but what I ordered was good enough for me 🙂“

“Great 👍🏼 pizza 🍕 & cold beers 🍻“

“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!“

“Stop by there with my 4 year old granddaughter she was begging for pizza. I don’t live in the area but let me tell you it’s the closest thing to a slice from New York City that you’re gonna get. It was a very good size slice and being how small she was and she ate it all except the crust, but she doesn’t need to crust anywhere. I will definitely go back again if I’m in the area.“

“They always have $9.99 Hot-n-Ready as on brand nice and hot & ready lol!! Plus the staff there is nice and friendly :)

Lil cramped in the eat-there quarters but whose lookin to do that cuz they not equipped for that kinda dining experience outside maybe solo.“

“After calling around a few local places, I finally found somewhere that not only had great food, but also great service. Martin answered my call, and was amazing, all around. Very friendly, attentive, and patient with my order.6 stars if I could. Great family meal offerings. Don't miss out on this deal!“

“wheat pizza is tasty

Vegetarian options: the menu rotates, but there's always at least one vegetarian option

Dietary restrictions: each dish is marked with what it contains on the main menu

Kid-friendliness: there's usually one type of pizza“

“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.“
