One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had and most certainly in the Santa Barbara area. The base was amazing and beautifully crisp and airy. You could taste the quality from the base, cheese and tomatoes. I would love to try their different pizzas as they had a great selection on their menu, I was very impressed. Great atmosphere with outdoor setting perfect for a pint and pizza!

Cool atmosphere with outdoor seating only. It started raining as we waited for our pizza but still such a great spot. The walls were mosaiced with Pennie’s. The pizza was AMAZING and I have high standards growing up in Jersey. I’m a sucker for wood fired though when I travel. We got the Hot Girl Pizza and the Farmer’s Market. Thoroughly enjoyed every last bite of both of our pizzas. Would go back here again immediately if I visit Santa Barbara again.

What a great dining experience.
It’s one of those “not on the main street” hidden gems you hope are as good as the reviews… and it might be even better.
My partner and I wanted to take a ride on New Years day, and because we have a few Real Estate and Solar clients in the area we can visit north of us, we took a leisurely 90 minute cruise up the 101 freeway from Toluca Lake to Santa Barbara.
The drive was refreshing, the ocean sparkled & when we arrived at Lucky Penny, we were greeted by a super-friendly person at the window.
At the end of the street is the ocean, so we stopped to recharge for a few minutes before going directly to the restaurant.

When we ventured up to the restaurant, she took our order for a Cesar salad, the Rosso pizza (& she let me know that it didn’t come with cheese, but I could add it so I added mozzarella and Parmigiano.)
I also asked about hot honey and their homemade ranch as a side & I purchased their last salted chocolate chip cookie. (Thank goodness because was that tasty! 10/10)
Our food arrived in a reasonable time and once we tried the Cesar salad, we knew we made a good decision.
It was our first time there, but I assure you, when we return to Santa Barbara next week to list a home, we’ll 100% be stopping by again.
Salad: 10/10
Pizza: 9.75/10
Cookie: 10/10
Hot honey side: 9/10 (a little runny or it would have been a 10/10)
Ranch: 7.5/10 (too much dill for our taste, but if that’s your thing, you’ll give it a higher rating.)

Atmosphere was casual but inviting for all occasions but it’s outdoor dining only. Except for a few parents who refused to parent their clearly spoiled children, it was really a great experience.

It’s 100% worth your time.

Thanks guys for the fairly affordable excellent meal.

Total spent, $47 with $3 tip at the register.

Came here craving for pizza. This is a sit yourself down kinda spot. But they do bring the order to you.
The place is decorated beautifully with lights and a food truck.
They have ample patio heaters.
We got 3 pizzas.
1. Pepperoni for the kids which they loved.
2. Californian which was surprisingly yummy.
3. Custom buffalo chicken which was also really good.
Service was friendly and fast.
Parking can be a bit difficult. We parked in a nearby structure and walked.

Wow, top notch pizza with some delightful varieties! Nice section of downtown and plenty of seating and nearby bars and fun shops. We had the East Coast Pepperoni and it was absolutely delicious. The wood fired crust was done perfectly, toppings were great, this is a winner all around. Kuddos to the staff, great work!

Very unique pizza. Had incredible flavor and a wonderful California atmosphere. The pesto pizza, the Mexican Street corn, and the cheese pizza are very unique and interesting. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We stopped by Lucky Penny in Santa Barbara and I have to say—this place absolutely lived up to the hype! I ordered the Salty Surfer pizza with a few customizations: I swapped the peppers for mushrooms and kept the pineapple and prosciutto combo. The vodka-based sauce tied it all together beautifully. The crust was phenomenal—crispy, chewy, and packed with flavor. Truly one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time!

The frozen margarita was perfect for the warm weather—refreshing, balanced, and hit the spot.

We also tried the Caesar salad, which wasn’t quite to our taste—the dressing had a very bold, strong flavor that didn’t quite work for us. We also ordered the pepperoni pizza, which was decent, but the Salty Surfer definitely stole the show.

The only downside was the seating—we were with a group including kids, and there just wasn’t enough shade, which made it a bit uncomfortable in the heat.

Overall, though, the food—especially the Salty Surfer pizza—and the atmosphere made for a great experience. I’d definitely return (hopefully with a bit more shade next time)!

I wanted to like the pizza more because it looks really good. But the truth is my east coast pepperoni pizza was greasy and blackened. I understand it’s wood fired pie and bits of char are to be expected. But the overwhelming flavor was blackened char. The bottom of the pizza was mostly black. The sauce is super plain, I prefer pizza sauce with herbs and basil. The crust is good. The beer was outrageously priced at $11 for the IPA on draft and it, disappointingly, comes in a plastic cup. You order at the window, they give you a number, then bring you your food. The courtyard is beautiful with its lovely flowers and atmosphere. The Funk District is much less funky than I expected. I expected more art and more of a vibe. There’s a couple murals and some flyers on telephone poles. I guess that qualifies as Funk in such a ritzy town

Cute spot in Funk zone. Plenty of tables and greenery; really a family friendly envirnment. Staff is friendly and we can change up the pizza order to exactly what we want. We got the hot girl pizza and added chicken. Definitely recommend. My daughter loved having some leftovers. We will be going back.

The Lucky Penny in the Funk Zone is an absolute must-visit. Before we even stepped inside, we knew we had found the spot. People were bringing pizzas into nearby wine tasting rooms, and the line was stretching out into the street. The pizza lived up to the hype. Every bite was incredible. Perfectly crisp crust, fresh ingredients, and flavors that felt both elevated and comforting at the same time. It’s the kind of pizza you immediately start planning your next visit for while you’re still eating. If you’re anywhere nearby, do not skip this stop.
