We stopped here for lunch. Had our bikes so it was convenient to eat outdoors snd have bikes near us. Had the classic pizza with mushrooms added. The crust was delicious. Sauce was really good snd had a bit hot zing to it. The added mushrooms were top notch. Very informal setting. Definitely worth a visit.

Went twice last week. Dine in with family. Then take out with same family members. All pizzas have special names. We had mushroom and Hawaiian Style, referred to as Surfer something or other. Best thing about the pizza is the crust. Excellent. Much better than high volume pizza places. Staff nice and friendly. Plenty of outdoor seating. Good selection of beverages. Eat in if possible. Take out pizzas are still good. But bottom crust gets soggy.

This great Restaurant is in the funk zone next to the Lark restaurant. You order at the window and they serve you at their nice outdoor tables with plenty of shade. We ordered the paninis, lemonade and rosemary chips - yum! The outside of this restaurant is decorated with over 150,000 pennies on the walls. The owner of this restaurant asked school kids to design square tiles with pennys in exchange for a donation to their school. We learned that trivia on the funk zone tour! Great place to stop for lunch while touring all the shops and wineries!

The people that work here are so nice. OG pizza is incredible and got it gluten free! They can do all their pizzas gluten free

Friendly staff and pleasant enough patio. The food is good. The drink selection is fine.

Pizza is pretty good. However service is very slow. I have no issues waiting 40 minutes for a pizza, just wish someone would have told me it would be that long. Also, don’t understand why large parties got their meals when they ordered after me. ?

My wife and I had pizza here 3 years ago. Still remember how delicious the pizza was. And we haven't been able to find a better pizza anywhere else. So, we're really looking forward to our next LA trip this summer and will drive to SB to eat here again!

The Lucky Penny is an order at the walk-up counter restaurant. They have a selection of beer, wine and homemade lemonade for the kids. There are also really good salad and, of course, lots of pizza options. The pizza was great. Seating is all outdoors, and first come first served. They were very accommodating to families, and it was very kid friendly. A good casual spot.

Came here after my friend had a intimate SB courthouse ceremony. Public parking garage a block away (free the Monday we were there). Walk up to order and food is brought to your outdoor table; heaters and patio umbrellas available. The casual outdoor ambiance was perfect for the low-key vibe of the evening.The service was friendly and quick to serve the drinks for our party of 12, however, the food took some time and was served staggered with some folks getting their food quite a bit before others.The wood-fired cauliflower was good but semi-drowning in brown butter. I'm a huge fan of mushrooms and was excited for the roasted maitake mushroom pizza but the sweetness of the squash and white truffle cream overpowered the umami of the maitake; the sweet overtook the savory and it was kind of a let down.Not terrible but not great either. Just meh.

Waited an hour and 20 minutes to get an under cooked pizza that wasn't even cut. Has to be better places than this in SB.
