Santa Barbara Pizza & Chicken

I moved here recently and I’ve already had Santa Barbara three times. In a word, it’s amazing! In more words, read on:
I have to say this is the best pizza I’ve had in Bakersfield, and I’ve tried quite a few. Despite what other reviewers have said at this and the other locations, each time I have called the staff on the phone are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The pizza has arrived within 30 minutes each time, which is more than reasonable.
On to the taste! It is SO amazing! The crust is fresh and cooked to perfection: not too crispy or gummy, and just the right thickness. The cheese is gooey and delicious. I have recently discovered that my biggest judgement toward pizza is the taste of the sauce. For example, I found the sauce at Tony’s pizza to be far too sweet. Santa Barbara pizza sauce is incredible! It is the perfect taste and they put just the right amount on.
I can’t say enough good things about them. I’m kind of a pizza snob (maybe a food snob in general, but I do not think each pizza is created equally and there are bad pizzas), and I am so happy to have found this place. When I lived in Orange County, Lamppost Pizza was my all time favorite pizza place. I never thought I would find an equivalent, but Santa Barbara tastes almost exactly the same.
My favorite combination is pepperoni and black olives (don’t judge me!) and they are generous with the toppings. My friends told me their Hawaiian pizza is very good, but I can’t stand Canadian bacon, so I’ll have to take their word for it. So far, each time the food has arrived fresh and delicious. And the delivery driver always has plenty of packets of Parmesan and red peppers. I have only tried their pizza so I can’t attest to their other items, but the pizza is all you need :)
Next time I order from them, I’ll post pictures. I always forget to take any.

I just ordered the «Santa Barbara Special» pizza to deliver in my hotel room. The phone attendant was very nice and the pizza arrived within 30 minutes as advised.
The flavor is stunning!!! AWESOME!!! Real extra cheese, the dough perfect and the sauce is amazing!!!
I’m from Brazil and live in a Italian neighborhood in my city over there, that’s the first real pizza that I ate here in America.
CONGRATS!!!
VERY RECOMMENDED!!!

Just called to order for delivery and apparantly called this location instead of one closer to my home (oops). Employee was rude and short with me. I’m going to just try another place based on phone manners alone.
