Reviews
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.
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.
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)!
