Rusty's Pizza Parlor Santa Barbara Reviews
Great tasting pizza at a great price!! Super friendly servers. Good salad bar.
I stopped to get some food before my train. Rusty Pizza Parlor is a really nice restaurant. The food is good quality, easy refill station for drinks, solid salad bar and comfortable seating. The buzzer to alert when your food is ready works seamlessly. If you have kids they will love the arcade games available. I recommend this location for a quick meal, and the lunch special is my recommendation.
Such a fun pizza place and delicious pizza! Lots of options, thin or thick crust, and very accommodating for people who can’t eat cheese! Fun arcade games for kids and adults alike, friendly service. Great place to bring the kids, or have an adult date and relive your childhood! Also, the pizza was exceptional!
Who doesn't love pizza? Rusty's is a family favorite. If you're a tourist visiting downtown Santa Barbara and your kids are just done, I highly recommend this place. The pizza is delicious, there's lots of space, and there are video games.
“One of the finest pizzas I’ve had! No ketchup provided – which honestly surprised me at first – but they offer delicious dressings instead. It was actually my first time eating pizza without ketchup, and I have to say… it was damn good. Sometimes the best flavors don’t need extra sauce!”
We came 12/26/24 we just walked around town and found this place and it was amazing! We ordered the pizza 🍕 and wings and everything came out good ! We even played a few arcade games. The place had a lot of tables and chairs ! Its definitely a nice place to come with your family and bring the kids . We took our food to go and we loved it ! We will come back if we are in town !
I visited Rusty’s Pizza Parlor and had a great experience. The place is huge, and it has a charming historical ambiance inside that adds to its unique character. The pizza was good with fresh ingredients and a perfect crust. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable dining experience. The service was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend Rusty’s Parlor to anyone looking for good pizza in a welcoming environment.
This place is way more than just to buy pizza . It’s amazing . I haven’t seen a pizza place like this . It’s authentic, it’s vintage . It has a vibe that we won’t find in a regular pizza place . If you are in @santabarbara just stop by and get the feel of this amazing spot . It also has an arcade . Can you believe that . For some reason I am not able to add video but my girlfriend enjoyed playing it while we waited for our garden pizza . It’s delicious. Stop by this place and you won’t regret it .
Pleasant experience at Rusty’s. The atmosphere was quiet and the place was nice. The food was excellent and I would definitely be back for more. The service was lacking and not the friendliest but we warmed the waitress up 😂 Staff ⭐️⭐️ Atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cleanliness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price point ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rusty’s has good pizza and wings. Not anything crazy, but for late night cravings it hits the spot. So when you’re heading back to the hotel at the end of the night pick up something to go.
First time in Santa Barbara and we were walking around try to find a place to eat. We seen the building and thought to ourselves, oh this place looks fancy. When we walked in we realized it was more like a family pizza spot where you have parties and enjoy a few beers with friends. We didnt mind how the inside looked. The reason we went in is because we literally smelled the pizza from outside and it smelled really good. The pizza was surprisingly good and we also had wings. Wings were like the equivalent to domino's pizza wings. Salad bar was also ok. All in all it's a good pizza spot, not the best but good.
Overall not a bad place for a simple lunch. Pizza was good although the sauce was a little sweet for my taste. Salad bar was a nice addition to the lunch special and was clean and fresh. The dining area was clean and the staff was nice. No wait, fast service, good food. Worth trying if you are looking for something simple for the family. Pepperoni and meatball deep dish.
I ordered the medium 1 topping pizza, and I shared that with my friend. The place is big enough to host a big group of people. The cashier was a bit rude, but other than that we had a good experience. I thought the pizza was delicious! I ordered the pan which is thicker than the thin crust.
This location needs to be checked by the health department. We hosted a birthday party on January 17th and so far 12 of our guest have reported horrible food poisoning. This is absolutely terrifying and embarassing as the host who was excited to show the guests a Santa Barbara classic. I absolutely do not recommend this location to anyone and am very disappointed that we paid over $500 total to be left with this experience. I suggest going to the other Rusty;s locations. On another note, the floors of the party rooms are disgusting and are not worth the money!
