    Garlic confit minus green onions

    In the area on vacation and stopped here for lunch. I ordered the garlic confit and if I wasn't from out of town, I'd be here every day. The pizza was amazing. The crust was the best. Not crusty, not doughy. Perfectly cooked. I ordered it with no green onions and both the cashier and cook confirmed that fried onions were okay. They were looking out for the customer to make sure it was made correctly. I appreciate their attention to detail.

    HOT 'N HONEY
    Nancy L.

    This restaurant is located inside of a food court area and went right at 11am ish when it opened. Saw on tiktok and yelp that this place was highly rated and it didn't fail to live up to the reviews! I got the hot n honey, because I loveee spice and honey on pizza and definitely tasted both!!! Loved the spice kick, the crispy and fluffy crust, the honey drizzle that balanced out the pepperoni and burrata flavors. Everything was just so good. Two people can easily share and devour this. The pizza came out in around 10 mins and I got texted when it was done after walking around. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's lovely to sit at the rooftop upstairs and look out over the balcony and trees!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Excellence in execution, texture and presentation.

    So I sought this spot out specifically based on the earlier review that their smash burger pizza is based off of In-N-Out legend. Let me tell you, they succeeded in every way. I mean, my mouth said that this right here is a double double but my brain was reminding me that I ordered a pizza! Absolutely nailed the texture, the umami and I didn't find the salt levels to be too much which can be a feat. Your dough (from one pizza maker to another) is outstanding and I'm thinking you sky the pizza just a second or two to get those beautiful leopard spots / char? Genuinely impressed. Genuinely satiated. Genuinely grateful for an outstanding experience on a Saturday afternoon!

    Smash Burger Pizza
    Lauren B.

    The smash burger pizza was a seriously one of the best pizzas I've had in years and is also seriously craveable! It tasted just like you'd want a smash burger to taste but on a pizza crust instead of a bun. The pickled peppers on the pizza are reminiscent of the spicy peppers at In N Out and are a great touch that provides balance to the salty meat and cheese. The owners Mason & Grace are super friendly and work hard to make this spot run in top shape - [[HIGHLIGHT]]make sure you stop by and enjoy a pizza at the nice counter or grab a beer and enjoy your pizza outside at one of the tables in the cute courtyard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fun spot & I can't wait to visit again!

    The margarita pizza was mid but the hot honey really made up for it . Super good and flavorful and not too hot . Can't wait to get it again !

    The dough is incredible. Such great flavor combos for their pizzas. The tiramisu is delicious!

    They also have pasta, salads, and desserts!

    I was looking for a QUALITY 'wood-fired' pizza, to bring to a potluck of about 30 people. I reviewed one POPULAR pizza spot, but read that they don't 'cut their pizzas'. . . EVEN with a "Pretty pleeeease?". . . WHAAAT?!! That was a HUGE turn off for me. So when I read about Humble Oven, I went in person to check them out. I asked if the three pizzas I ordered could be cut up to accommodate 30 people, Mason (the owner) IMMEDIATELY responded "Of course we can!" (with a genuine, cheerful smile too). I gave him the time I wanted to pick them up, and he said he would text me 15 minutes before the pick up time and then reheat them for a few minutes when I got there. Before I left, he gave me a sample. Oh. My. . . It had the most delectable 'crisp' on the bottom of the crust . . . Seriously, I never had pizza THAT good. So, I got online and ordered yet ANOTHER one! At the appointed time, true to his word, I got the pre pick-up text and everything was ready. On my way out, I noticed for the first time, that I COULD have had shiitake mushrooms added! I never saw THAT option before, and it would have tasted amazing! I ordered the Cadillac Margherita and the Bell Pepperooney. Both were outstanding in flavor with that great wood-oven char. As SOON as people began eating them, comments, were flying about how GOOD it was! They do not have a phone number, but you can order on their webpage or contact them via email. I like their location at the SLO Public Market. I avoided downtown traffic, had plenty of parking and could zip in and out. They are closed on Tuesdays. Mason introduced his staff to me, and all of them are so cheerful, upbeat and work well together. He started the business with his wife Grace several years ago. This is one outstanding business that merits a following.

We also had the pleasure of meeting Giuseppe, the owner's son, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the restaurant. The food was absolutely unbelievable. The Italian baguette sandwich is a must. It is so flavorful and perfectly done. The beet salad was fresh, delicious, and a great complement to the meal. We truly love sitting at the bar here. It has such a fun vibe, and we cannot wait to come back. Thank you again to Jeff for the outstanding service and to Giuseppe for running such a fabulous restaurant.

    My husband and I were visiting San Luis Obispo for the first time and decided to stop by Giuseppe's…read morefor our anniversary. We had our dog with us, and when we stopped in during the afternoon while walking around downtown, the hostess was incredibly pleasant and helpful. She was tall with dark hair and gave us a great recommendation on what time to come back for dinner before things got too busy. We really appreciated how welcoming she was. We came back later that evening and checked in for a table. The hostess working then, who had short brown hair, told us the wait would be about an hour, so we decided to wait. We walked around with our dog and came back to check on our table. When I asked about the wait, she told me in what felt like a very condescending and dismissive tone that we had about 45 minutes left. I mentioned that it had already been about 30 minutes, and she then corrected herself. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and that working a busy dinner shift can be stressful, but there's still a way to communicate with customers without making them feel like an inconvenience. Our table was eventually ready, and we were taken through an alley to the back patio with our dog. Unfortunately, there wasn't much interaction or warmth during that process--no "How is your evening?" or anything that made us feel particularly welcomed. That being said, the food itself was good, and our server was fine. The service was a little slow, but the restaurant was extremely busy, so I think they may simply need additional staff to keep up with the volume. We noticed people who arrived after us were we're going to have a two hour wait. Personally, I wouldn't wait that long. Overall, the food was good and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but the customer service and extremely long wait took away from what was supposed to be a special anniversary evening. I think there is definitely room for improvement in how guests are treated while they're waiting.

We started with wine and they served little garlic bread balls as we went over the menu. We selected three appetizers (we had five in the group), the Bruschetta, caprese and the meatballs. The bruschetta came with three pieces, there were two meatballs and about six tomatoes and cheeses made the caprese. They were all delicious, but the meatballs were really good, a great homemade taste. We ordered a variety of mains: the salmon piccata, (nice size serving), baked penne (so good), Ravioli Di Ricotta (very tasty, less ricotta than the penne dish), Tortellacci Ring-shaped pasta filled with braised short ribs, served in ossobuco sauce (my favorite, paired great with the Chianti), and a penne with vodka sauce (my daughter raved about the sauce). For desert we forced ourselves to split up a bomba (Spumoni with chocolate shell) and a crème brûlée. Both were excellent, but we think we should have tried the Tiramisu because the menu said something about prepared table side. Well, I guess we'll have to come back, that and, we did not try the pizza! Well worth it, great meal, very attentive service, and a nice atmosphere with a formal dinner presentation.

However, this restaurant truly exceeded my expectations. They don't attempt to be overly authentic, they are! They serve Italian food at its finest in the SLO area, and I greatly appreciate that. I was first introduced to this place by one of my colleagues in our industry. We decided to hold a speaker program here, and it turned out to be a brilliant choice. My second visit was just as enjoyable, and I would highly recommend the following dishes: - Bruschetta - Mozzarella Caprese - Calamari Fritti (a bit spicy) - Insalata Café Roma - Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa, Salsiccia, e Pecorino (this dish resonates with me since orecchiette originated in the region of my family's heritage) - Osso Buco alla Milanese - Scampi Piccata - Salmone Alla Griglia When it comes to dessert, here's what I would recommend: - Caffe Affogato - Spumoni Ice Cream covered in a chocolate shell You may wonder why I chose these. The Caffe Affogato and spumoni are what we, as true Italians, consider authentic. Tiramisu, while delicious, is a non-traditional dessert that was invented much later. Just "think about it and forget about it" ;-) lol, even though it's really good! Tell em Joey sent you. Ha! Ciao!

The Toffee Chocolate has a light sprinkle of salt on top which just brings the perfect salty flavor to a sweet toffee dough. Their dough is truly made with brown butter, which brings such a nutty flavor to their shortbread. They do sell regular cookies as well but the shortbread is where it is at and we learned that the cookies came from the sister owners who gave them away at their sandwich shop. They have a few stores now in Paso, Caycucos and cookies are made at their production facility in Atascadero. Wonderful find!!
