One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had and most certainly in the Santa Barbara area. The base was amazing and beautifully crisp and airy. You could taste the quality from the base, cheese and tomatoes. I would love to try their different pizzas as they had a great selection on their menu, I was very impressed. Great atmosphere with outdoor setting perfect for a pint and pizza! 🍕🍻

Cool atmosphere with outdoor seating only. It started raining as we waited for our pizza but still such a great spot. The walls were mosaiced with Pennie’s. The pizza was AMAZING and I have high standards growing up in Jersey. I’m a sucker for wood fired though when I travel. We got the Hot Girl Pizza and the Farmer’s Market. Thoroughly enjoyed every last bite of both of our pizzas. Would go back here again immediately if I visit Santa Barbara again.

What a great dining experience. It's one of those "not on the main street" hidden gems you hope are as good as the reviews... and it might be even better. My partner and I wanted to take a ride on New Years day, and because we have a few Real Estate and Solar clients in the area we can visit north of us, we took a leisurely 90 minute cruise up the 101 freeway from Toluca Lake to Santa Barbara. The drive was refreshing, the ocean sparkled & when we arrived at Lucky Penny, we were greeted by a super-friendly person at the window. At the end of the street is the ocean, so we stopped to recharge for a few minutes before going directly to the restaurant. When we ventured up to the restaurant, she took our order for a Cesar salad, the Rosso pizza (& she let me know that it didn't come with che

★★★★★ 5.0 Rakshit Pithadia · Jan 2026

Came here craving for pizza. This is a sit yourself down kinda spot. But they do bring the order to you. The place is decorated beautifully with lights and a food truck. They have ample patio heaters. We got 3 pizzas. 1. Pepperoni for the kids which they loved. 2. Californian which was surprisingly yummy. 3. Custom buffalo chicken which was also really good. Service was friendly and fast. Parking can be a bit difficult. We parked in a nearby structure and walked.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rodney Mood · Jan 2026

Wow, top notch pizza with some delightful varieties! Nice section of downtown and plenty of seating and nearby bars and fun shops. We had the East Coast Pepperoni and it was absolutely delicious. The wood fired crust was done perfectly, toppings were great, this is a winner all around. Kuddos to the staff, great work!
