    Small Meat Mania
    Edwin R.

    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.

    Pan pizza large with jalapeños, pineapple, and pepperoni

    Came here pretty late almost near closing time, pizza was delicious came out fast ordered the pan pizza with jalapeños, pepperoni, and pineapple....and thank you for remaining open till midnight was a Pizza emergency! After a long day.... would definitely come back again.

    Canadian bacon and pineapple  pizza!!!

    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.

    Rusty's has and always will be the best pizza I've ever had. My husband is an SB local and he feels the same! Ordered from the Carp location and got our pepperoni pizza with ranch delivered to us within 20 mins! Great pizza, fast service and full stomachs!

    If you happen to be In the Carpenteria area this Pizza joint Is well worth the stop! I can only vouch for the pizza and and salad bar. The atmosphere is cozy and the beach just minutes away. We ordered, seated ourselves in a very clean establishment & might I add the service was great. Our order soon followed right out of the oven hot and cheesy! Give this place a try!

    Large Rusty's special without olive or anchovies.

    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!

    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.

Here's a break down of my experience: First of all, we came on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. It says on the menu to ask about the daily special, but there weren't any. The waitress told us that on the weekdays, they do not offer daily specials since they do not have seafood on the weekdays; a weekend exclusive is what we were told. Very disappointing. We said it was fine, however, when it came to placing our orders from the menu, the waitress stopped us three times to let us know they were out of certain ingredients like ham and Italian bacon. Most of the food we ordered were not the dish in its complete form. Pasta Amatriciana: The dish I ordered. It did not come with the cured pork Italian bacon as advertised. The dish itself looks visually appealing but it was incredibly mediocre. The sauce was watery and poorly seasoned. Overall, the dish lacked flavor. I rate it as a 1/5. Chicken Vodka Pasta: the dish my mother ordered. Her comments were the same as mine. She notes that the sauce lacked seasoning and she described it as tasteless. Again, another poor dish. She rates it as a 2/5. Chicken Fettuccini: the dish my father ordered. He didn't have that much to say about it other than it being subpar. He rates it as a 2/5. I will say, in terms of pay, the price was fair. For 3 dishes, all of which came with generous portion sizes, totaled to about $62. Overall, I don't see myself returning to Mollie's in the future. They were out of many ingredients which led to mediocre dishes being served. If you wish to come here, I strongly suggest you visit on the weekend since they only serve special/ seafood dishes then. Other than that, Mollie's is a hard pass.
