Omg! The pizza is so delicious. I got medium pizza we ate it right away and went right back for another. I got thin crust and it was just perfect. Definitely my pizza spot to go when in Santa Barbara.

We ordered an Rusty's original pan, medium spice level wings and a personal cheese pizza for the little guy and we ate everything! Service was friendly and food was great. We will be coming back for sure next time we are in town and want pizza.

Best BBQ chicken pizza with cashews in town and fabulous salad bar with everything under the sun. Very friendly staff and great pizza selection with fresh ingredients. The lunch special under 15 is best value in town, no inflation here. A great local eatery run by a local family with several locations. Quality is always there. Enjoy!

This is the best pizza we've had since we moved to So Cal several years ago. Our think crust pizza was perfection! The salad bat was well stocked and clean. The employees were very nice. We will definitely be making the trip up from Ventura again.

The old west style This place have a very good thin crust veggie pizza as well a salad bar. Jessy the manager and his team works very hard to make their customers feel home. They call some of them by their name and is so nice seeing that. Thank you!

Love Rusty's pizza! You can tell Rusty's pizza flavor from other pizza. Great atmosphere. Family oriented and kid friendly. It's a family tradition for us. I have been eating here since I was a small child and I'm 51 now. I wish they would bring back the silent movies they showed and cartoon intermissions!

I love me some Rusty's Pizza everytime I get to Santa Barbara. The individual pepperoni and salad is my jam. The blue cheese dressing at the salad bar is my favorite. Plus they have the old school video games in the back. Can't beat that.
