If you're in Santa Barbara - do not leave without trying this place. Casual, hidden gem on a quiet street. You order at the counter and find a seat. The setting is great! Your table is thoughtfully set up with plates and cutlery for you to grab as needed and perfect for sharing. Grab your drink from the fridge. Plenty of options to select from: water, flavored Pellegrino, beer, or if you prefer they have some beer options on draft. Let's get to it! The Figgy Piggy- wow! 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! read more

Saint Bibiana Came back here after a few years, and somehow it was exactly the same in the best way. The first time, we stopped in because my daughter was hungry--one bite of the pizza and I remember thinking, "wait... this is actually really good." Fast forward to now, same situation, same reaction. Still memorable. The crust is nicely thin with that perfect balance--crispy but not dry. The margherita was cheesy, flavorful, and super well-balanced (not overly salty or greasy, which is rare). Just clean, simple, done right. My husband tried the lemon mushroom, and that was surprisingly good too--bright, a little different, but still comforting. I also love how easy it is here--you can grab a single slice or go all in on a full pie. They've got beer on tap, and there's even a free old-school arcade game, which made it extra fun for the family. Laid-back vibe, great pizza, and one of those places that sticks in your memory. Easily my favorite pizza spot in Santa Barbara lately. read more

We loved this place! We were only popping in for a quick snack but that left us craving this pizza later. We grabbed a couple of slices and a salad. The pizza was amazing. We both loved the lemon mushroom! We also had the cauliflower salad, which was also fantastic! Seating is limited but we found a spot. read more

Saw a sign on the side walk and it drew us to find pizza. It's definitely on the smaller side but it had a nice old school atmosphere. There were even a couple arcade games by the window. I was pleased to see they had a family meal. My toddler switches between cheese and pepperoni pizza so I was glad this had both. Service was good. My order came out pretty quickly and the staff made sure I had everything. Pizza was nice. Great crust and the sauce was my favorite. Overall, great meal. read more

My sister-in-law visited this establishment 4 years ago and had been craving the mushroom pizza and cauliflower salad ever since. She talked us into trying out her craving. Boy was she right. Excellent does not cover this pizza joint. And it is a joint the you will want to visit each time you are in Santa Barbara. The food. The staff. The small town feels. Give it a try. read more

Came on a Saturday night. They have about 5 tables inside. Just enough for our group of four to grab a table. Service was great all around. We got the Hawaiin and margarita. Both were great. Taste was unique, couldn't describe but something was different about it. Bathroom in the back. There's street parking around the residential streets. Might have to walk a bit but no issue. read more

The pizza here is okay. I ordered Margherita Pizza and I enjoyed it but would not go back here for this item. They were extremely busy but the staff was really nice. I personally think there is better pizza out there but this is a good option if you're in the area. read more

Saint Bibiana - Margherita Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Santa Barbara has a lot of good pizzerias for a small city, and Saint Bibiana stands with the best of them. It's a small, casual joint downtown, just off State Street. Most orders seem to be for pick-up or delivery, but the restaurant is pleasant, should you choose to dine in. I went with a bunch of family the night after Thanksgiving: my husband, my kids, my brother, my future sister-in-law, and my mom. It was a good choice for this group, cute but also easy, where my two boys could eat pizza and not sit still (there were a couple arcade games I had to drag my three-year-old away from) without causing a disturbance. We ordered at the register and got our food at one of the handful of tables, which was just big enough for our crew. Service was fast and friendly, and there was booze. I enjoyed the Madewest Pale on tap. The pizza was delicious, with great toppings and a crispy, chewy crust. I loved the Sausage #2, a flavorful pie with red sauce, mozzarella, stracciatella cheese, fennel pork sausage, black olives, mushrooms, basil, and olive oil. The Hawaiian too, with red sauce, mozzarella, ham, pineapple, basil, and a drizzle of honey. There was cheese pizza for the kids and pizza by the slice for my mom, who doesn't eat pork. She liked her lemon mushroom. We also got an order of roasted cauliflower salad for the table, and this was fantastic, the cauliflower roasted in garlic oil and tossed in herbed yogurt dressing, then served with arugula, shaved gouda, and parsley. Our next Saint Bibiana dinner will likely be takeout or delivery, but I wouldn't rule out going in person again. The pizza was excellent right out of the oven, and it was nice to walk down the street and get McConnell's for dessert. read more

Amazing pizzas. My family had the margherita and the sausage 2. Both held up and in a word, "satisfied," in the best way. You want pizza, you get pizza. Crisp, soft, sourdough crust. Loved it. Staff was super friendly, the woman at the counter help navigate the menu, overall great experience. Highly recommend. And free PacMan. read more

Called ahead to order my food and it was ready exactly when they said it would be. So many choices and I decided on just a basic pepperoni pizza with hot honey. Mastering a basic pepperoni pizza is the baseline -- if that's off, the specialty pizzas won't stand a chance. Pizza had the perfect amount of sauce, cheese and loved the pepperoni! The crust was absolutely perfect. Very airy light and had the perfect amount of crisp to it. Loved that each slice is garnished with fresh basil to add the perfect pop of color and burst of flavor! I don't live in the area I was just up visiting family, however I cannot wait to go back and try something else. I love that they also sell pizza by the slice. Small little quaint establishment and nearby parking is very limited unless you are willing to walk a little. Pizza is my guilty pleasure and I can't wait to go back! read more

We door dashed the food and it was delicious!!! Had a cheese, pep and some sort of grand slam type of specialty pizza that had everything on it. We ordered a market salad that had green apples in it. ALL was so good! If and when in town check them out! read more

Pepperoni and veggie pizza were solid but did not blow us away. Toppings were average. The roasted garlic on the veggie were the highlight. Solid salad. Cookie was also solid. The place was hoppin' on a Saturday night and the staff super friendly. read more

Came to Saint Bibiana because we were craving pizza and heard it was good. We ordered half pepperoni, half mushroom and olive, and we ate it all. Just two of us. So yes, very good pizza!!! They do have a few beers on tap, and a wine fridge with more bottled beer and wine. Cute little restaurant, small, with a few tables lined up against the wall. Super happy we came here for pizza. The only thing that I was disappointed about is that they don't have ranch. They do have a homemade dill ranch, which I think they called green ranch, it was very good as well but still wanted the option for regular ranch too. They did have red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese on the table. Seems like a popular place for pick up as I saw quite a few people come in and pick up their order! read more

Hands down the best pizza in Santa Barbara. Their sausage pizza had all fresh ingredients and didn't feel heavy at all. Service was amazing, our server gave us an extra dough knot even though I had only ordered one for the two of us. While the amenities say that dogs are allowed, this is further from the case. Our server had let us know that while they were previously allowed, the city didn't let the business place tables in front of the restaurant. It's not the business's fault, but please change the amenities description. read more

Saint Bibiana - Sausage Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

My wife and I are extremely disappointed with our second visit to this pizza restaurant in SB. About a month ago, we had an excellent first experience. We even left a glowing review that same night and included photos because everything was outstanding. It was a Saturday, they opened at 2:30 PM, and we arrived about 15 minutes early not knowing what to expect. A blonde woman who appeared to be the hostess warmly greeted us and kindly allowed us to come in early. She made us feel welcome and comfortable. We left that day saying this would be our go-to pizza spot. Today was a completely different experience. It was Sunday, and the restaurant opens at 2:00 PM. We decided to arrive about 15 minutes early, hoping for a similar experience. The door was open, and the "Open" sign was flipped to open, so it appeared they were ready for business. The same blonde woman was behind the counter cleaning wine glasses. She made direct eye contact with us but did not acknowledge us. When we stepped inside, she immediately said, "We're not open, guys." There were several employees inside, so we understood they might still be preparing. However, as we stood at the small entrance -- practically blocking the sidewalk -- another woman walked in directly in front of us and was immediately greeted. No "hello" or "excuse me" was extended to us. Moments later, the woman behind the counter warmly greeted her and they hugged. It was clear they knew each other. At 2:00 PM, we were still not acknowledged. Another couple arrived and stood behind us. A man with long hair, who appeared to be working very hard carrying materials in and out, stepped outside and informed that couple it would only be a few more minutes. Again, we were not acknowledged. Around 2:08 PM, the blonde woman began placing multiple wine glasses and wine bottles on the very table we had planned to sit at -- the same table we sat at approximately a month ago when we had such a great experience. We intentionally wanted to sit there again because we were bringing our daughter to experience what we had enjoyed so much the first time. It then became clear that two of the tables were being utilized for a special event, as several more women began entering before the restaurant officially opened. To be clear, we do not have a problem with the restaurant hosting special events -- that is completely understandable. However, perhaps as owners or managers, the very least that could have been done -- after clearly seeing my family and me standing there before opening -- was to acknowledge us and inform us that today would be a special day where tables were reserved for an event. A simple explanation would have gone a long way. Instead, the women attending the special event were allowed to enter and were warmly greeted before us, while we were literally waiting at the entrance to be allowed in. We were not acknowledged, not greeted, and not given any explanation. Eventually, the long-haired gentleman came behind the counter, made eye contact with us, and finally greeted us, asking how he could help. I told him we wanted to dine in and asked if it was okay, since two of the tables had already been taken over by the event. We were seated near the table marked with a handicap sticker. Unfortunately, the service did not improve. The pizza was not as good as our first visit (although the garlic knots were still delicious). No one checked on us. No one asked how our food was. No one asked if we needed anything. My wife had to approach an employee to request a box for our leftovers. We still enjoyed our afternoon together as a family, but we could not ignore how overlooked and unimportant we felt throughout the entire visit. Due to the unprofessionalism and lack of customer service during our dining experience, it was clear that we, as paying customers, were not properly acknowledged. A tip directly stands for "To Ensure Promptness," and clearly today we were neither acknowledged nor provided attentive service. For that reason, we did not leave a tip. read more

Pizza is fantastic! Savory toppings, great cheese to sauce to crust ratio, and a really satisfying chewy and slightly crisp crust! I'd definitely come here again for pizza the next time I'm in SB. Staff are also super friendly. Docking a star for cleanliness because we ate in and the table was unbelievably sticky :// pretty offputting. I couldn't even wipe down the table myself because the napkins would stick to the table and tear... read more

This has to be hands down one of my favorite hole in the wall pizza places that I have ever found. My husband and I really wanted pizza but we were craving a pizza with amazing toppings and a really good crust (and, obviously, good ranch). well, this place had it ALL! The ambiance was so cute, everyone here is so friendly and we sat at a table with another super friendly couple. All of us devoured our pizzas SO fast! I did not care that my mouth was on fire, this was the BEST pizza I have had in a long time. I highly recommend getting this pizza and taking it with you! There aren't a lot of spaces to sit in, so this is a perfect to-go pizza for home or the beach! read more

So amazing!! Came here for my birthday. It was perfect for the evening with little ones in tow. 4 adults shared a large pizza, garlic knots & the cauliflower salad. The cauliflower salad was AMAZING. Wow, it is a must. I cant remember the name of our pizza but it was equally delicious. I saw comments on the cookies so we took some to go and they were quickly devoured the following day. Staff was friendly and while it is a small space the inside is really quaint. Looking forward to returning next time we're in town. read more

NY pizza snob here, and the SB pizza scene was sad at best before the past few years. St Bibiana wins the "most NY-like" pie in town with no asterisks for me. Thin crust, garlic knots, pies in the front available by the slice, AND on delivery apps to boot. Oh and video games. There are a few other good pies in town, but St Bibiana is still the best all around, and best bang for the buck. Great pizza, just go, you won't regret it. read more

St. Bibiana is the best pizza in Santa Barbara! The pizza shop is small but mighty! Every time I visit there is always a line out the door, and for good reason! The pizza is delicious, bursting with flavor, the crust is the perfect combination of soft and chewy, the toppings are always fresh and flavorful. I so appreciate the staff who are friendly and helpful; the staff manages online orders, phone orders, walk in orders, pizza pick-up, and more. The vibes are that of a busy pizza shop, lots going on, lots of hungry people excited to eat, and lots enjoy! You may need to wait a few extra minutes for a table, but it is so worth it! read more

We ordered takeout and tried the veggie and sausage pizzas. Despite being takeout, both pizzas were flavorful and enjoyable. The pizzas were a bit firm, but that was likely because we waited about 30 minutes before eating. When we arrived for pickup, the long line made it clear this is a popular spot--and for good reason! Overall, a great place for pizza, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious options. read more

Love this place! Got a pizza with one half of the Whole Shabang (no meat) and the other half Veggie. Their garlic knots are really nice too. Best to have the pizza and the knots while warm; they become very doughy and harder to chew when cold. Also tried their lemon mushroom pizza which was a little too tangy for my liking. The ambience is beautiful and staff is friendly. Public parking lot is a short walk away. Restroom all gender, accessible and clean. read more

This place is BOMB (insert salivating emoji here). My bestie and I ordered the Whole Shabang pizza and it was divine. It was a $30 pizza which I'm assuming is standard in the area. But the pizza is quite massive at 15". The women who work here were very friendly as well - great service. I feel like it's officially a must go-to next time I hit up SB. read more

While the ambiance at Saint Bibiana reminds us of a no frills New York pizza joint, the pizza blew us away! The sausage with ricotta was one of the best pizzas we've ever eaten and we eat a lot.

Yo! This is a MUST HAVE experience for all foodies. I've lived in SB for 18 years. I'm from NJ. I know proper pizza--gourmet and family style neighborhood pizza. This place is BOMB! Gourmet flavor and a local "mom & pop" ambience. The pizza was GREAT. I appreciate the free old school '80's video games you can play for free while you wait and hang out. The folks who work here are super gregarious and kind. 2 slices will fill you up for sure. I'll certainly become a regular at this place. So glad it's here!! If you remember and appreciate the OLD BLUE OWL from Back in the day (new owner now, food tastes different) then you'll love this place. Same went! She's awesome. Thank you! read more

After a long afternoon of walking and shopping the farmers market, I was craving something delicious and filling. Saint Bibianas had this pepperoni pizza I cannot forget. It is definitely a sharing size which I mistakenly forgot to ask but I packed my leftovers and ate them on the train back home. I also ordered this giant chocolate chip cookie they had the counter which was the perfect sweet treat to end my day. The staff was friendly and informative as I asked questions and opinions. I actually got there just as they were opening and maybe 10 minutes after people were trickling in and I could tell this was a local favorite. The place was adorably decorated and had enough seating for family and friends. Definitely coming here again when I visit Santa Barbara. read more
