Old school pizza parlor! We used to have a Rusty's in Ventura, so I had to stop in for the nostalgia when I saw one in Carp. Staff was nice and friendly! It an older looking spot, so def needs an update. I did feel like I was traveling back in time :) it was not too busy or loud inside! My mom and I enjoyed having lunch here. We would return. Pizzas are a bit pricey but what isn't nowadays! read more

Camping at Carpenteria State Beach with pizza and wings is a convenient experience considering Rustys is open on Memorial day! The Meat mania pizza is really good and the buffalo wings are tasty, kind of pricy but good quality ingredients. read more

This is my favorite Rustys location. I always get their canadian bacon + pineapple pizza. I recently tried their mango habanero wings and they were very good. They are more on the sweeter side with a hint of spicyness but they had a great flavor. I also recently tried their garlic cheesy bread and hands down one of the best. It was perfectly crisp and tasted delicious! I love coming to this location because they have lots of seating options and I enjoy their salad bar as well. read more

Pizza was amazing, staff friendly. Ranch is super super good probably the best I've ever tasted. A little run down but it's amazing. Retro 1994 simpsons fighting game! Fun experience overall. Great hidden gem read more

This location doesn't seem to have as good service (read: takeout wings order) as the one in Santa Barbara by the train station, but the pizza quality is consistent, and that's what really matters! I love this type of pan pizza- it takes me back every time to when I was a kid and pizza hut had higher quality pizza. Love Rusty's, and wish they had another location closer to OC! read more

We attempted to go to the Italian location across from Rusty's that was too busy to park so we ended up here at Rusty's Pizza and I am so glad because our group was so pleased with our dinner. We got pizza and a beer and wine. The pizza was delicious, the staff were so friendly with such a relaxing feel that it felt like a pizza parlor from our time growing up. I am sure we saved money coming here and more than likely had a better time than the busy, loud and crowded place across the way. We will be back next year and will be sure to come back by for dinner. read more

Great food, large portions and professional staff. If you're looking for decent Italian food in Huntington Beach you must try this place.

Awesome pizza, probably the best I've had in the area so far. Got a small Meat Mania pizza (pan style) and it did not disappoint. The girl at the register was nice and patient too (my first time going there) and the place was clean. read more

Placed our order at 11:30p. We were quoted 50 mins - 1 hr delivery time. However, OUR ORDER NEVER CAME!!!! I literally called 7 x's between 12:10-1:10a to no avail. The gentleman that took the order was so pleasant & efficient, I would've never imagined this outcome. Completely unscrupulous, unprofessional, & unethical! HORRIBLE!!! read more

We have been going to Rusty a since we were students at Brooks and like the product. Good ingredients and selection of thick or thin crust. This is a basic pizza not a fancy one. My only complaint last night was 4 kids running all over screaming. Not so much the Pizza Parlor's fault but parents with no control over their children. The manager perhaps could have talked to the adults since there kids were so disrespectful to others trying to enjoy their pizza read more

Ummm, love this pizza... I wanna swim in their pizza and nibble their slices.... Shit is good when it is and fresh... But if they're running late it's used jock strap bad. If they are late I'd nibble n read more

Recently in town for the weekend for my hubbys bday and ordered Rusty's for lunch for everyone. Ordered 3 pizzas and some wings and it was ready for pickup in 20 mins. Inside reminded me of old school pizza parlors with a salad bar and a few video games which was cool to see. We all really enjoyed the food. I knocked 1 star as one pizza had crust a tad burnt but otherwise everything tasted really good. Would definitely order again if in town! read more

Rusty's Pizza is solid pizza place in Carpinteria. If you're looking for a good pizza you can't go wrong with Rusty's. The Carpinteria location has a big open room and some booth seating. The salad bar is pretty good as well. The place has gone up over the years more than what you'd want to pay for a pie but it's still good pizza. read more

This pizza place was recommended by the hotel personnel. When he said his family always orders and it's the best in town. I just had to try. They did not disappoint. Pizza crust was soft and the crust had flavor on the bbq chicken pizza was so good just the pizza sauce was just the right tangy We also got chicken wing plain and ranch dipping sauce. I was disappointed on the size of the wings but it was well seasoned even without ranch dip it was very good. They also impressed me by verifying my order with a call back since i was staying in a hotel near by. The pizza was promised 45 min but to my surprise it even came earlier. read more

We went here on Saturday evening on Memorial Day weekend. After walking a few miles on the beach this place was just what the doctor ordered! We ordered a Rusty special(less the anchovies and olives), garlic cheesy bread, salads, and some drinks. Here's a break down of our experience! The service was not above and beyond, but it was still good and they got the food out to us pretty quickly despite it being dinner rush. The salad bar was fresh stocked and really tasty, and an all around hit! Recommend trying the Italian dressing, it was creamy and oh so tasty! The pizza was perfect! It's everything you could want from a parlor pizza joint ( something I grew up with). The cheesy bread was soft and tasty, and while it said garlic, it wasn't so much garlic that you couldn't talk to someone for the next three days. Over all, this is a good salt of the earth kind of joint, and it has remained untouched by some of the more trendy styles of food. (Not that there is anything wrong with that) I will certainly be making sure to stop by every-time we roll through town, or stay nearby! Thank you Rusty's! read more

I am told by my Carpinteria born SO, that there are really is only one pizza place in Carp - Rusty's. And apparently, there is some sort of a very mild version of the New Haven Pepe's vs. Sally's pizza war going on between Rusty's and another place that I'll not name. Being just a visitor to town, I wanted to avoid the fray and chose Rusty's to deliver dinner my last night in town. The website is a bit clunky - it doesn't have the smooth appearance and bells and gimmicky design of the major chains (there is no "pizza tracker"). But it will get the job done. Times quoted for delivery are notoriously longer than how long it actually takes... I was quoted one hour but the order arrived in about 25 minutes - and I'm told that's normal. Hey, it's a small town and there are only like 3 stoplights so traffic isn't a real problem. Prices are reasonable... $20 for a large 2-topping. Driver was very friendly. Pizza was quite good - not the best EVER, but I'd be willing to say it's probably the best in Carp. Even better was the side order of garlic cheese bread ($5.99 for a large order)... delicious! Definitely an add-on item, unless you're concerned about too much cheese and bread in your life. And if you are - so sad. Good value. Good food. I can easily see being on Team Rusty. read more

First time at Rustys, ordered 2 large pizzas, large salad , 2 large drinks. Im disabled at this time, camboot on, so mobility is an issue. Had I known that the place has you get up and get your hot pizzas from the counter like McDonalds, I wouldve chosen the one of the other pizza restaurants in the area. My name was called, I figured maybe they need to verify or they forgot something. Nope. They gave my 13 year old son the hot metal pan to take to the table himself. He ran to get to the table to avoid dropping it. I asked the guy to please bring the second pizza because my son can burn himself with the hot pan. He didnt. The Manager said that, my son should have folded the paper plates over the metal pan to avoid burning himself. ‍ pizzas were edible.. We went to the Carpinteria location, #51 order. read more

I ordered a small garden pizza. The guy said it would take up to 45 minutes to deliver. Ok. Well an hour later I call to find out where my food is. The supervisor says oh well they are backed up. Sorry. Really! Terrible customer service. And they didn't include my jalapeños I paid for. read more

Rusty's Pizza in Carpinteria has the absolute BEST pizza! I come from Castaic, Ca just to eat at this particular Rusty's because it is simply the best. (And no they are not all the same) This particular one stands above the rest! Rusty's Manager and Staff are friendly and absolutely amazing. They get your pizza right every time and get your order up fast and hot! It has a rustic parlor look and feeling and is what a pizza parlor should be. They have all the great games that you would want to see and play at a Pizza Parlor. Yes even adults! They have a great Salad bar and many other items on their menu that you will love and enjoy that are reasonably priced. This establishment is clean, the staff is friendly and efficient and the food is wonderful. I highly recommended Rustys Pizza in Carpentaria, Ca. I am not associated with anyone here or paid to review. I just happened to find them cruising through and think they deserve this review. Thanks guys. You rock! A++++ See you soon!!! read more

Great wings. Pizza is good, dough is fluffy. Delivery to state beach campground is a big plus!

We love this pizza joint. Family friendly and solid pizza. They locations in many convenient places.

Very good pizza. Good crunch on the crust. Great cheese. I'd give it about a 7.1 out of 10. It would be even better if the bottom was more crunchy so that it had less flop as well as it would add to the bite experience. read more

Good salad, terrible pizza.... the pizza was almost identical to the place on Linden that's really bad. Don't understand how these places can survive with such bad pizza. The delivery was great.. the person taking the order was very good with details and giving directions. read more

My partner and I are here for Labor Day Weekend, and wanted a late dinner. Rusty's pizza delivers to our hotel, and the pizzas were delicious.

Only got 8 wings in our 10 wing order. And apparently Chicago style cut is random uneven pieces? Disappointing. Not worth calling about 2 missing wings but worth noting for the next customer. Sucks to have to count your wings but I guess that's where we are these days. ​ read more

I stopped in for the daily lunch special which includes an individual pizza with choice of two toppings, one trip to the salad bar and a fountain beverage for $8.99. I thought the food here was okay, but certainly nothing special. I've definitely had better, but on the other hand it serves the purpose if this is the kind of thing you are looking for. The interior is kind of rustic as they have wooden tables. Everything was neat and clean. read more

First time visiting rusty. I guess there popular in this neck of the woods. I'm from LA was visiting Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. I must of saw 4 of these around town. Decided to eat here. We stopped by late on sat evening. Place was empty about 9pm. We chose the medium pizza. My side was extra jalapeños and my girlfriend side was ham. The pizza was really good!..it was fluffy..the cheese didn't fall off and they definitely put extra jalapeños as I requested!..we got the wings also which were tasty as well. I paired it with a Firestone DBA. I will definitely be visiting again in the near future when I come back to town. read more

Terrible. We were told by our hotel that this was the only place in town that was open late. We may as well have waited until morning to eat that's how bad it was. Bad sandwiches, bad pizza, terrible SLOW service. Nope. read more

Whenever I am in the Carpinteria area for work or fun, I always like coming to Rusty's Pizza Parlor. They have a great lunch Special: Individual Pizza (2 toppings) Small (One trip Salad Bar) Drink $7.95. What a deal! The pizza here is really good, I have gotten the pan as well as the thin crust versions. I prefer the thin crust, it is cooked to perfection and has a crispy outer crust and the rest is delicious. Pepperoni and Jalapeño is the only way to go for me. I would have given it 5 stars, but in the last couple years they changed the salad bar to 1 visit only and the bowl is fairly small. You used to be able to go back as many times as you wanted, which was nice. Not that I was eating that much more, but at least I did not have to try and stuff everything into one bowl on my first and only trip. Not a big deal, but just wanted to share why I have them a 4, rather than a five. That won't stop me from coming back, I sometimes go out of my way to visit Rusty's, I really like it. They also have a big screen TV you can watch and a selection of old school video games. Rusty's reminds me of an old pizza place I used to go to when I lived in the Midwest, that has since closed down, brings back good memories. Enjoy. read more
