    Meat Lovers Pizza
    Raymond T.

    Meat lovers pizza was so good I fell asleep right after. Recommend catching the sunset over at thousand steps with your pizza!

    I'm going to start off letting you know I'm from Chicago and also lived in NYC. So my pizza expectations are hard to meet in SB. The white chicken pizza was ok, it had way too much raw garlic in every bite. A little fresh pesto instead of the garlic on top after it's cooked would be a huge improvement. The other sausage pepper onion pizza really bad! They use the cheapest pre cooked frozen sausage crumbles. It tasted like a store bought frozen pizza. The good the pizza crust was nice, crispy & nicely chewy, the red sauce had a good flavor. I would have liked a little more cheese. Both pizzas were about $9.00 each I asked for 2 coronas. When I went to pay it was over $60.00 and I asked why and the girl told me she added a tip. I should have gotten a recipe but I didn't. So I assume she charged me about $25.00 just to ring up my order and hand me my food. Totally not cool. And for that reason I will never give them my business again! Here is a screenshot from your website dude. $8.99 white chicken pizza. Maybe you should use some of that energy insulting me fixing what's wrong with your restaurant. I did not add a tip check your security cameras I wanted to, but she said she added it automatically. so that's on you and if you don't like bad reviews, then I suggest to fix what's wrong instead of insulting your customers.

    Came here to get some pizzas to go and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were! First off service was 10/10, thanks to the kind gentlemen D who provided my group and I with the just the right amount to order! This place has many different types of pizzas to choose from with great vegetarian options in my opinion. The menu is basically all pizzas with two salad options and wings. They do serve alcohol and do have lunch specials here. We got the family size pizza and an extra large which were plenty for us. We ask for thin and crispy and it was exactly that. We enjoyed the garlic breadsticks, warm and loaded with garlic!

    Mesa Pizza has some good pizza selections. We ordered a Meat Lovers Pizza and Chicken Barbecue pizzas for a table of 7. They were great along with some chicken wings. Lots of good meat and sauces for the pizzas. Nice young staff, and we were satisfied.

    When the owner makes the food it's incredible / the best pizza in town, their used to be a very rude worker that worked here for the longest time that made me stop coming here but I don't see him anymore he would hang up the phone and yell at you on the phone and spoke bad English

    my face, pizza, both homemade!

The pizza slices arrived promptly with a fresh basil leaf on top. We started with a slice of the pepperoni and sausage #1, which had amazingly crispy/chewy crusts, and a garlic knot which was perfectly garlicky with a pillowy interior. Later we also shared a figgy piggy, which was probably our favorite slice. The fig matched the bacon flavor with perfect balance. Finally we got a cookie to go. Amazingly crispy on the edges and soft in the middle, with pools of bittersweet chocolate, butterscotch chips and a dash of flaky sea salt. We literally walked away in a haze. We are still wondering if that pizza experience truly happened to us. We are out of towners, and even if we never get to experience that again, I'll die happy knowing that I had the honor of consuming this absolutely phenomenal pizza, cookie and knot.

If you love sweet and salty, this is it! A fig marmalade as your sauce layer with plenty of crispy bacon and a ricotta center. 10/10 You will not go wrong with a pepperoni classic. The pepperoni cups are crispy with a subtle spice. The lemon mushroom is also a great slice! The cauliflower salad was AMAZING!! The herby flavorful yogurt based dressing was so tasty. The cauliflower was just roasted to perfection. You have to get the garlic knots! These are buttery, soft, pull apart beautifully and are topped with real garlic. Honestly the best knots I've ever had in my life! Make sure to leave room for their cookies! Overall the service was great, great casual ambiance and even more amazing food!

I love the thin crusts of their pizzas because it doesn't leave you feeling too heavy even if you ate the whole pizza (aka, no food coma crash despite the carbs). Tried the Caserta Pizza (5/5) It's made with double flor di latte sauce base that gives it creaminess. Then topped with Italian sausage, garlic pecorino, basil, smoked provolone cheese, and Calabrian chili. The sausage was savory, and the cheese was melty and of good quality. You can taste the mild spice from the chili flakes and the herbal-ness from the basil. Add-on some of their housemade chili oil sauce for an additional spice kick. Service was professional and courteous. We had a great time and really enjoyed our dine-in experience here. We'll be coming back to try out other flavors for sure.
