Patxi's Pizza - Santa Barbara

Incredible deep-dish pizza! The staff is wonderful, and the service is excellent. A must-visit in Santa Barbara. Five stars!

I absolutely love this restaurant! We've dined here multiple times, and it never disappoints. One of my favorites is the Patxi's sausage roll, which has a nice spicy kick to it. The thin-crust classic supreme is also fantastic—it's not too cracker-thin, more like a hand-tossed, wood-fired crust. No matter what we order, the garlic fennel sausage topping is a must-try; it's bursting with flavor!

I ordered a deep-dish pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and roasted garlic. I was informed that it would take about 40 minutes to prepare since it's made to order. I didn’t mind the wait; I thought it would only heighten my appetite. When the pizza finally arrived, I couldn't help but salivate—it looked absolutely stunning. A word of caution! The pizza was extremely hot, almost like a bag pulled straight from the microwave, so I had to remind myself to resist the urge to dive in immediately and instead savor it a little at a time. Unfortunately, I couldn't hold back and ended up burning the roof of my mouth—definitely my own fault! But I can honestly say the experience was well worth it. The flavor was everything I had ever dreamed a deep-dish pizza would be. Each bite was substantial, and the crispy, cheesy crust paired perfectly with the fresh, tomato goodness. I’m sure there’s a good deep-dish place near my home, but Paxti's has truly set the bar incredibly high. If I ever find myself back in the area, I will definitely make a stop for another pizza. The smallest size, at 10 inches, was perfect for two people to share.

Both her deep dish and thin pizzas are great. also their designs of beer.

The deep dish pizza is always worth the wait! The tomato sauce pairs well with the honey “dipping,” for the crust! A huge shout out to our server for Chris for his friendly and happy service! Thank you Chris!
