I love this place! From the moment I walked in, good vibes all around…read more Julie is serving me at the bar and she is on point. I started with a glass of Vermentino and the Insalata Della Casa. How many house salads come with artichokes and pickled onions these days? It was light and refreshing. Moving on to the pasta course. I ordered the Scarpariello and it was surprisingly light for a pasta dish, and loaded with flavor. Yellow and red baby tomato sauce with fresh basil, Calabria chili and pecorino. I wanted a glass of red to accompany the dish and was contemplating a Primitivo. When I mentioned this to Julie, she offered an off list Primitivo without the jammy punch. It was nice, she was on to what I was trying to achieve. I ended up with a Sangiovese and my dignity. All around a great experience and I didn't feel like I was mugged after paying the bill. I really appreciate a good glass of wine for $12-15. I am exhausted by paying $20 for mediocre wine in wine country. Thank you Julie and company for appreciating your cliente. Oh, and don't get me started on the pepper grinder. Seriously, order pepper on EVERYTHING!!!!!!

If you're a Neapolitan pizza purist, put this place on your list immediately. The pizza alone earns…read morefive stars. Think blistered crust, fresh ingredients, and the kind of slice that makes you close your eyes. The salads are equally fresh and well-made. The space is lively and inviting, with a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating that gives it a great energy. The downsides are real though: no reservations mean you're playing the waiting game before you even sit down, and once you do, expect big gaps between courses. It slows the whole experience down in a way that's hard to ignore. BUT, that pizza has a way of making you forgive everything - and I'll absolutely be back.

Pizzaleah came highly recommended by a friend so i had to stop on my way home from Clearlake. The…read morestaff was extremely friendly and welcoming, Sarah was fantastic. I ordered their Margarita pizza which was cooked perfectly. The sauce was very tasty and complemented the thin style crust which was crispy with a little char. I ordered the their Roo pizza to take home. If you like mushrooms, this hits that craving. They also offer some different brewey choices you might not find at mainstream pizzerias. It turns out that Leah works Sundays so i got to watch her in action. Her passion and attention to detail is exactly what i was looking for in a pizzeria. It was a pleasure for the Legend General to meet her and converse about her great pizza. It was a very nice atmosphere and good experience. It's Definitely worth the stop if your traveling through the area. I highly recommend Pizzaleah!

I've eaten a lot of pizza in my life. I've been to New York and tried a bunch of the famous spots,…read moreand they were really good. But I'm honestly not joking when I say I prefer Pizza Leah to anything I had there. I don't understand how they get the crust like this. It's perfectly chewy and just cooked exactly right. Usually I like the crust but don't love it. Here, I actually do love it. I've been here at least 15 times and I've tried pretty much everything on the menu. My two favorites are the Roo's and the Po-Tay-To. I love how the place is laid out. You can see into the kitchen, and the eating area is exactly what I think a pizza place should look like. It just feels comfortable. One time on my birthday, my wife picked up the pizza and didn't realize that they gave her the wrong one until she got home. She called and went back to get the right one, and when she got there they had forgotten to remake it, so she had to wait. She was honestly pretty mad at that point after making two trips, which I don't blame her for at all. But they were so apologetic that they ended up giving us the pizza for free, and that honestly made up for everything and turned it into a really nice surprise. She got over it pretty quickly after that. Funny enough, it worked out as two trips for two pizzas, and my birthday is 2/2. Now whenever I eat pizza anywhere else, I end up comparing it to Pizza Leah. Other places have good pizza, but this one just checks every single box for me. It just is the perfect pizza for me.

Started with Strawberry coolers - which were a treat! Light and refreshing - just what we needed. Then we had the Strawberry Burrata (picking up on the theme here?) - which was also tasty. Strawberries were sweet and delicious thought the dressing lacked a little snap. Next up was the Garden Salad, which had a nice variety of veggies in it, including fresh beans which was a nice touch. We finished with a mushroom and sausage pizza, which was well made. Great thin crust, tasty mushrooms, and had a good balance overall. Bonus points for bringing us out Calabrian chili sauce and chili crisp to try with the pizza! Great little spot. Food is fresh and healthy! Service was friendly and prompt, but be careful about coming when they are busy - there may be a wait - this place is popular!

I arrived at 8:45 and got inside with the first wave at 10:30. The owners even came to say hello to eveyone waiting in line, so I met Natalie and her husband. I really liked that the release was super organized. Inside is a typical bar and everyone is getting their glass of the younger. I ordered the hummus platter and wings. Both tasted delicious. (Trust me, I've been to places where the hummus platter didn't look appetizing but that's another story). I got 8 wings half sweet chili and half buffalo. It came with blue cheese and veggie sticks. Delish! Portions of the food was good. Staff were helpful and friendly. I bought my T shirt from the gift shop and got a few free coasters too. The experience of getting the younger and meeting new people in line really gave me a sense of Santa Rosa hospitality!

I hate to be a little harsh since the people working there are such nice people, but I think…read morethere's a lot to improve on the pizza at Santa Rosa Pizzaria. I got a half and half of the bear cub and the fountain grove. Starting with the dough - it was quite bland and odd texture. Not quite crispy, not quite chewy either - a weird in between. Perhaps the dough hydration was a little too low? The sauce - well seasoned, good ratio of cheese to sauce. If anything, maybe a little on the sweet side. The cheese - good ratio, no notes here. the bear cub - good amount of pep applied on the pizza, no cupping action, but tasted fine. Doesn't taste like anything special, but holds its own here. The fountain grove - unfortunately quite a disappointment. Starting off, it was very salty. Maybe from the sausage or salami? I personally still don't understand the craze with piling on ingredients just to have them in California. I've seen it happen so often, and it always falls short of a cohesive pizza, and this one is the same story. Each bite it took just kind of tasted like an amalgamation of random ingredients, there was nothing complementing one another. Overall, a 2/5 pizza. Their employees are very friendly and seemed to have good service. My personal pizza tastes may disagree with others, but I hope there is some room for adjustment or improvement.

It ended up being a happy surprise because it was fun to try somewhere new. The ambiance inside is great. It's a beautiful space with really comfortable chairs. You can tell they put a lot of thought into making it feel inviting and relaxed. Our server was awesome. For an appetizer, we ordered the Ahi Tartare and it was so good. What made it really unique was the warm fried rice base with the cold ahi on top. The contrast was amazing and it's not something I've had before. We also ordered pizza, and while the first one came out a bit overdone, our server handled it so kindly and quickly brought us a new one. The replacement was honestly delicious. The sauce, crust, and cheese were all spot on. We will definitely be going back.

Get there and the service is attentive but not particularly warm and atmosphere is quite dull. Staff apologized without prompt or any complaint on my end and being 15+ min longer on new year's eve no biggie here. Service 3.5 stars Ambience 2.5 stars - clean, but bland and neutral Most importantly the food. Got a large pep, pesto sticks and a salad. The good - sauce was tasty, bread had a good flavor The bad - pepperoni was greasy enough to reboot a grease musical. It ruined the bread, the pep was soggy and greasy too. There was a ton of pepperoni which absent the lack of crispness and 5 pounds of grease would have been a plus. I have eaten pizza most places in SR and near in the region and this is a bottom 25% er. No one in our fam enjoyed our meal and I doubt I will be back. Food - 1.5 stars.

They have a fun selection of pizza toppings and other foods. The guys working there were friendly and helpful in making choices. We sat inside at one of the booths and enjoyed watching football in their TV. My only complaint was that it was kind of cold since they kept the front door open and it was a foggy day. We started with some wings with their mango habanero sauce. The wings were good and I really liked the sauce. I wish they could have been a little crispier, but they did the job. We had a split pizza. We did the Stormy, which was a BBQ chicken pizza. The other half was their Mac and cheese pizza. The BBQ chicken was really good. Sadly, the Mac and cheese was just not that flavorful. I probably would try something else next time. Gio's feels like a decent neighborhood pizza joint. If I lived in the area I would probably order from them pretty often, especially that BBQ chicken pizza!
