My wife was looking for a gluten-free pizza place and found it on Google. We didn’t realize that we were in an area in Santa Barbara called The Funk Zone, which was a very neat area that was very lively and fun to experience. This place has a walk up window where you order and all seating is outside. The food was very delicious, and it was just a nice atmosphere overall.

Pizza here is amazing and vegan + gluten free options are great, but $5 EXTRA for vegan cheese is a crime, especially when it's replacing dairy cheese.

I went here to try the gluten free pizza because of the way it’s worded on their menu: gluten free dough. This wording made me believe it wasn’t going to be something like Udi’s brand premade crust from a box but real fresh made gluten free dough. Sadly I was wrong. It was premade gluten free crust like the kind you can get at Pieology (and cost an extra $5). That being said, they cooked it well and crispy. I got the Californian because of the rave reviews and I don’t get the hype. It lacked diversity of flavors. But the ingredients did feel and taste like quality ingredients. Maybe I would’ve liked a different combo better. The atmosphere in the courtyard is so pretty and the staff were nice. I still enjoyed myself but the product was underwhelming.
