My coworker placed a big order for a luncheon we were having. She placed it shortly after they opened at 11 to be delivered around 11:40.. 12pm comes around and nothing. Mind you, we're only a few minutes away. We ended up having to call twice to check on our order and were told "it's on the way" WHERE?? The delivery woman didn't arrive until after 12:20. This was absurd! What's the point of ordering ahead of time if it's going to come almost an hour later? read more

My partner and I were walking the dog, minding our own business, when we accidentally tripped and fell into Taffy's. Next thing we knew, we were eating the best gluten-free pepperoni pizza in town and a chef's salad big enough to qualify as a roommate. The food was so good, even the dog looked offended he didn't get a bite. We left with enough leftovers to feed a small army--or at least three very enthusiastic snackers. We'll definitely "accidentally" fall in again soon. read more

Came here today with four families for lunch. Online says they were open. No closed sign on the door. Waited ten minutes and no one opened the place. Knocked on the door and tried calling and no response. So frustrating that no one updated the hours online or told us it was closed. There was even staff in the kitchen that we saw thru the windows. Disappointed to say the least read more

I used to live in the Cottage Hospital area & Taffy's was a favorite for delivering their wonderful meals. I've recently rediscovered Taffy's and am happy to drive the 5+ miles for one of their pizzas! Also they make the BEST veggie salad! It's a great compliment to their pizza. The homemade ranch dressing is to die for (& dip your slice into!). The ambience is really great, with a fireplace room, TV room & outdoor dining. It's easily my favorite pizza joint! read more

The pizza from toffee's was average, but it gets the fourth star for the nostalgia of being a place that I used to frequent when I lived in Santa Barbara back in the 90s. The restaurant has changed since then and seems mostly the same, but not quite as I remember it in the old days. read more

I travel to SB relatively often for work and I always try to find a new local place or two to try when I'm in town. This weekend, it's Taffy's! Let me tell you, I'm putting Taffy's on my short list for a return visit. Is this fancy Neapolitan style pizza? No. Is this hawked by a tiny Roman cartoon? Again, no. Taffy's is EXACTLY what you'd expect from a pizza shop that you go to after playing a little league game in the hot spring sun. It's a little old, a little dark but the food is great and the people are stars! I ordered online and from the time I placed my order to picking up, it was less than 15 mins. How can you go wrong with service like that? I ordered a 12" pizza with pepperoni, jalapeños and mushrooms and a side salad. The crust was well cooked, had a nice chew, the red sauce was sweet enough but still deliciously savory and the toppings were generous! The salad was a huge portion (which, I appreciate because it's secretly my favorite thing!) All in all, I was very happy with my experience and my food. If you're in town, give it a shot! read more

Taffys has been around ever since I can remember, and that's a long time! The restaurant is in a more residential area, and feels like a large old house inside, with indoor seating plus a beautiful courtyard/patio area. Phone orders are very easy - I mostly do pickups. I love the lightness of their pizza. It never feels heavy - the sauce is simple tomato and not overly thick and heavy, same with the cheese and toppings. Everything is very fresh tasting. The crust is thin with a homestyle quality to it. Salads are great and even the regular is enough for 3-4 people. I love the ceasar. They also have a good drink/beer selection. On the downside, only one (very nice) cashier. When it gets busy, you can wait a while just to for the pickup. Crust can be variable - sometimes has a nice yeasty chew that I like, on the last visit, it was more firm and brittle (less chewy?). Great, fun old school local pizza parlour that will not dissapoint. read more

The food was actually really good. I usually don't like buffalo sauce, but the pizza tasted pretty good and the pesto breadsticks were also soooo cheesy and good. They have both ranch and marinara sauce on the side without me having to ask for it so I appreciated that. The food did take some time to come out but a pretty normal amount of time for pizza. The workers were super nice. Also, they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They also have cute little decorations that definitely make the ambiance better. Pretty good overall. read more

Excellent pizza. Good location. Friendly service. Open air seating. Started with a tossed green salad. Very fresh and served cold just the way I like it. The proprietor was so gracious and gave our party some free bread sticks with marinara sauce. The bread sticks were so light and crispy at the same time. Highly recommend. The pizza was very good. The crust was light and crispy. The pizza sauce had just the right amount of spice to make it extra tasty. The toppings were very generous. Love the pastrami on my pizza. Limited parking so allow extra time. Great place to eat pizza when in Santa Barbara. Buon appetito! read more

We love, love, love Taffy's! We've had almost everything on the menu and have enjoyed every bite. There's no doubt about it that Taffy's is our favorite pizza in town, but we also love the great beer selection, bread sticks, salads, pastas and sandwiches. They have a HUGE selection of pizza breads, veggies toppings, cheeses and meats. Because they have such a variety of toppings, their sandwiches, salads, etc. have a great selection of toppings too. I called and accidentally asked to order an antipasto salad, not realizing that they don't even have an antipasto salad on the menu. However, they have such amazing customer service, that they assured me they have everything to make a great antipasto salad delivered to my house. And they were right!! It was incredible. AND free delivery, but call early to place your order. It can take a little while depending on when you call. So worth it for free delivery!! Pre-Covid times, they offered fun events like trivia on their large, private outdoor patio. I hope they can start that up again soon. They also have a small arcade room and lots of children's books scattered here and there for the kiddos. Very family friendly! read more

Been meaning to try this place for awhile since I've always passed it by. Used the Axxess Card here for the deal of 50% off a pizza. The location is unique and the back outside dining area is nice at night. The inside is very cozy and quaint. I wasn't a huge fan of the buffalo chicken since it was a bit too strong of a flavor for me, but the pepperoni side was good! read more

Tried Taffy's for the first time after seeing a coupon in sbaxxess "50% off 1st pizza ordered". The pizza itself- ok. Decent sauce, kinda tangy. That tangy sauce (and the smaller size) is about the only difference in taste between Taffy's and the food court membership place in Goleta. Their ranch is good, comparable to the other pizza place in town that ends in y's. The only bright spot of my purchase from Taffy's. Main gripe- I ordered 1 large 1 topping, 1 small 1 topping. Again, 50% off 1st pizza ordered. Guess which size pizza got the discount... I went in to ask why only the small received the discount and the man working stated I misunderstood the axxess coupon, and should read it again. You too, can read it attached to this review. Secondary gripe-they have a default tip system. 15% of the total with tax. For takeout. Will not be going back, nor would I recommend it or bring out of towners. Will stick to the other SB place that ends in y's. There's a reason they've been in business over 45 years with only 1 location. read more

I saw that they had an Axxess deal so I decided to try it for the first time. As soon as I said I'd be using the Axxess deal (50% off first pizza), the person working's demeanor became visibly angry. He told me he he usually doesn't charge for ranch but would be charging me. That's cool, but say so nicely? Some restaurants need to know that: 1) you choose to have an Axxess deal 2) some customers actually do tip on the original amount (or more because they are happy to be getting a good deal). 3) One of the points of offering deals in general is to get people to try your food for the first time so they hopefully come back. They won't if they are treated rudely and with disrespect. The pizza was just okay. read more

For their service and not the quality of their food. I ordered 2 pizzas and small order of wings online. When i got there my wings were given away to someone else. I know that happens sometimes. The owner did say sorry. And I had to wait another 15 mins with a 6 year old and a 3 year old hungry at our hotel room. But what pissed me off about this place......The couple came after me and picked up their 1 pizza and asked for extra ranch which the resturant charges for. I ordered an extra ranch online and got my 1. The couple asked for 5 ranches and got 5 large ranches. I though what the hell let me ask for extra ranch. He gave me 2 little cups. The couple were unmasked white couple. I'm a brown man in a hoodie and masked. Less than one star. read more

History

Established in 1973.

Taffy's Pizza was established in 1973 and is located in an old house built in the 1930's. Here at Taffy's we pride ourselves on offering friendly service and a wonderful place to relax. Along with a great atmosphere, a core value of Taffy's is to provide the highest quality and freshest food available, something we do on a daily basis.

Meet the Business Owner: Casey G.

Taffy's Pizza was established in 1973. The original proprietor of Taffy's grew up in this old house built in the 1930's. Before becoming the landmark pizza restaurant that it is today, the house was first a home, then later used for a small retail business and an ice cream shop. In 1983, Greg O'Brien, purchased the business from it's original owner, and introduced delivery service - and our famous breadsticks! In 2014, new owners Casey and Shaina Groves took over the historic pizzeria. Being longtime loyal customers of Taffy's, they knew that this was the next adventure for their family. We look forward to continuing the Taffy's tradition while updating our space and menu to reflect our community's changing tastes. Taffy's ultimate goal is to continue to do the very best for our customers, and to provide a great experience every visit.

It was a solid meal!…read more My husband and I showed up around 5 pm on a Monday and were seated right away without issue. It is a small space so we were seated very close to two other tables (the kind of close where it's hard to focus on your own convo). We ordered the Caesar Salad to start. I feel like I've had this exact salad (as in gem lettuce, breadcrumbs, lemony dressing) other places executed a little better. The breadcrumbs were almost too hard creating a grainy/sandy texture rather than a nice crunch. Good flavor though. We also got the Meatballs "Alla Vodka." This was the highlight of the meal for me. My husband thought they could've used more of a binder but personally I liked that they felt more meaty than bready. I recommend using the spoon to eat the meatballs so you get enough sauce with each bite. Don't want any of that delicious sauce to go to waste! We got the pepperoni pizza for our entree. This pizza was just okay to me based on my personal preferences so take this with a grain of salt! I'm not the biggest sourdough person and since the pizza is fermented it has a similar flavor. I also wish that the pizza was a little less charred. I think it was more burnt on top than charred but maybe that's what they're going for and I'm just not the audience. We enjoyed the pepperoni pizza with the house ranch. I really enjoyed this bc I prefer a dill-heavy ranch and this definitely delivered that! Overall, solid meal and would come back. Our server was a little awkward but didn't really affect our experience all that much.

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.

We got a whole pepperoni pie (no picture) & a side of their homemade ranch. Everything was so delicious - hands down the best pizza & ranch I've had. The bite & chew of the pizza was perfect & everything was so tasty. I went back today for lunch on my way back home to socal & got to try their individual Sicilian slice. The dough is thick & bready - about 2 inch thickness. I added sausage, mushrooms, & jalapeños on my slice & yummm. 10000/10 would recommend I will definitely be back & be stopping by any time I pass through Santa Barbara

We got the white pizza with ricotta cheese, garlic and shallots. The shallots were blended in with the cheese (instead of being put as toppings) - loved it; added a nice texture. Definitely going back! Limited indoor (bar) seating and plenty of outdoor seating. Parking could be hard to find (street parking).

If you are looking for some quality pizza in SB, look no further. L' antica pizzeria hand makes and…read morebakes each pizza order in-house. 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.

I thought I must've been in Napoli. I was with some friends because we were on our way to a performance (I am a musician) and we were in a hurry. The waiter accommodated us and the pizza came out in under 10 minutes, I believe. The atmosphere is simple but nice. I was surprised that it wasn't more busy on a Friday night. I am telling you, this was fantastic pizza. I cannot wait to go back and to try some of the pasta.

So, we came here for a second visit during our 3-day visit, at around 3pm and it was very empty. We ordered the same thing, Salty Surfer with mushroom, and my kid added pepperoni this time to his kids cheese pizza. It was just as tasty as last time, and everyone even ate the crust lol! Service here is so friendly. The staff are super chill and casual, and were all really nice to my 7 year old kid. Our table was a bit sticky and we put a napkin over the sticky part, and when a staff was clearing our table, he apologized for the sticky part for not cleaning it. Not a big deal at all, but really nice it was acknowledged in such a respectful way. This will now be my go-to when we come back next time!

The Gamberetti al Aglio e Olio Piccante was delicious and saucy. Just the right amount of spice for the shrimp and extra sauce to dip the wonderful bread into. Margherita pizze was good too- don't wait too long to eat it the cheese will solidify and lose that stretchy creaminess. Basil was a nice touch and not too spicy overpowering Mare chiaro pizze was a long time favorite. Unfortunately halfway through eating the pizza noticed there were no clam pieces to be found. We asked the server and she mentioned they had run out. To make up for this, a free dessert was comped. Added bonus order- crepes Crespella à la Nutella: this means heaven in your mouth lol. Was able to watch the cook make it from start to finish (such a friendly guy too!) server also added ice cream on the side and man this was amazing with added sparkles of goodness!
