Jasmine has a very nice little place here. The staff was friendly and took our order right away. Bonus points for Coca-Cola products. My wife got the lunch special that includes a small pizza personal size, a garden salad and a soft drink. I really enjoyed my pizza I got the "all meat" and Marilyn had the ham and pineapple. Our garden salads came with ranch on the side and they were really good also. I would definitely recommend this place.

My husband and I were on a road trip and looked up pizza. The area for dinner. This one was a bit far but the reviews were great. It’s a small shop located in an open air shopping center. We walked into the cozy, traditionally styled pizzeria and were met by Jay. We were between choices and he suggested to make the pizza in halves, half one style, half another so, we did. Our choices for flavors were the “La Vera Signature” for one half of the pie and the “Treasure of La Vera” for the other YES. Just Yes! Run! Get here as fast as you can!! I am an Italian, raised with tradition and this is the best pizza I’ve ever friggin’ had!!!!!!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯😍 ALL fresh ingredients, House made sauces and the most Anazing flavor blends and combos it unbelievable! Also, if you’re hungry, don’t worry!! The toppings alone are over an inch thick! The crust?! Holy crap! It’s seasoned, with what tastes like caramelized garlic amongst other fresh spices and seasonings and baked to PerFecTion!!!!🤌🏼🤌🏼 THANK YOU JAY FOR EVERY THING!! (And definitely to anyone else that helped make our dinner, just FucnAmAzInG!!!!! 🫶🏼🙏🏼❤️ We Will Be Coming Back!!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️🫡

I have been to La Vera Pizzeria many times because it is the best pizza in Santa Maria. It is owned and operated by a local family who has been around for many years and far surpasses all of the pizza chain restaurants in quality and price. La Vera is the only pizza I get in Santa Maria at this point. My favorite is the combo pizza because they load it with so many toppings! The cheap price does not reflect the quality of the ingredients or the generous servings. To mix things up, I recently tried a sandwich from there too. This had not been my go-to sandwich place in SM, but after having their pastrami sandwich, I will definitely be going back for more. I never go out of my way to write reviews on the internet, but I was so blown away by this sandwich and their family has been so good to me for so long that I thought this was the least I could do. Oh and don't forget the buffalo wings! And make sure you get some of their homemade ranch dressing for dipping your pizza, wings, and salads!!

Absolutely 💯 delicious. The Wings are amazing and the pizza 🍕 is hands down some of the best Pizza in Santa Barbara County, period. Great Service. Great prices. Must have if you are in town... locally owned. Great food and portions.

First I would like to say is the girl that took my order was very polite. Second the young man named Juan gave me excellent customer service. He cares about his job and the qualityof service. This pizza was the best pizza I have had in a long time, we order the divine swine and the Mexicana. This is my new pizza place I will be back soon.

Delicious pizzas and great pastrami sandwiches too! Pizza was loaded with toppings- they are not skimpy when you ask for extra and it was all for a really good price! The crust is cooked perfectly every time

Usually just two people working one taking orders another cooking. They take forever to take your order, the lady in front doesn’t care if you have red peppers or cheese. Not a great costumer service and the food quality is not the same that it used to be.

A large La Vera Specialty, added jalapenos, and an order of spicy wings (asked to have them extra crispy). Pizza was perfect, AS ALWAYS. A 10 OUT OF 10. The wings weren't as crispy as I would have liked...that's why I didn't give a 5 STAR. But the taste was really REALLY good.

Tasty pizza. Onions were thin and crispy. Have never tasted that good. Generous toppings. The staff were happy and smiling. Very inviting into this business. Next door to UPS so convenient parking.

Ordered takeout: A simple dbl pepperoni NYC style XL pie based on Google reviews and the fact that they were located not far from my hotel. Price was reasonable, pie was prepared in a timely fashion(about 20 minutes). I and my family thought it was pretty good: Dough had nice flavor and chew without being tough, sauce was slightly sweet, loved the flavor of the large pepperoni slices. It was still pretty tasty the next day cold also, very impressive. That's a winner in my book. I would order from them again.

I like this samll pizza place been coming for years but lately the pizza is not the same . I don't like that I have to wait for more than 25 minutes for a small personal pizza. I dont think its fair. The pizza should be made as soon as the customer place the order. Service needs to change for now I will go somewhere else.

Waste of time, placed an order before going in because it was my lunch break, I show up 10 minutes thinking I have a few minutes to wait …. I paid, and there were three people after me…. The three people had their pizza out sooner , and in total they took over 40 min, 43 if you want to be exact. Pizza is okay, but I can get a better pizza and sooner elsewhere …. It’s a no return for me.

Drove five hours for my mom's 72nd birthday, asked her where she wanted to go out to eat for her birthday, she wanted go to a place that served pizza; after looking at the reviews on yelp and Google, the La Vera Pizzeria would be a good place to take my mom. When we arrive and walking towards the entrance, (a manager or employee) outside the establishment talking on the phone blocked the entrance to go in; with her left-hand up she mentioned to us to stop, then waved her left index finger side to side, all without saying a word. Does this pizzeria have a dress code,was the (manager or employee) having a bad day; has happened to anyone else?

Santa Maria Review

The food here is genuinely delicious and worth coming back for. Unfortunately, my experience with the cashier wasn’t great - they came across rude and unwelcoming. I hope this is something that can be improved because the food itself is excellent.
