White walls, music, and the smell of genuinely great pizza in the air. Sadly, ordering that pizza feels like you're interrupting a very important staff meeting about not wanting to sell pizza. The vibe leans heavily toward uninviting. No fountain drinks, no water cups, just bottled beverages like you're at an airport kiosk. After you finally place your order, settle in. You're looking at a solid 45 minutes to an hour before your pizza makes its grand entrance. While we waited, a staff member walked up and slapped a "sold out" sign on the door. It was 5:45. They close at 9. We then watched the live theater of confused customers being turned away mid-evening. Bold strategy. Now, the pizza. Credit where it's due. The dough is legit. Sourdough crust that actually tastes like something, nicely baked, good sauce, and a thin, almost cracker-like profile. This is not your thick, floppy slice situation. It's crisp, light, and honestly pretty enjoyable. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than your average chain pizza? Absolutely. Just be prepared to feel slightly unwanted while acquiring it.

It made such a huge difference in the crust. And they actually take the toppings to the edge so you really get a full pizza!! Can't wait to go back to California!!

The menu continues to grow and get more interesting every time I visit. Actually live in San Diego and find reasons to travel up here "for work"...buuuut, also PIZZA. NO TVs!

It's a buzzing cacophony of pizza-fueled jubilation!

Ordered a few slices and a few other best sellers. 1. Dr Pepperoni -- Kids loved their slice. Thin crust with crunchy pepperoni. I went for the same and really liked the sourdough crust. 2. Fungus Amungus -- This had a generous amount of toppings on it and was flavorful. 3. Garlic Fries -- I loved that these were thin. Had the right amount of garlic flavor. 4. Pizza Fries -- This is one of their best sellers so had to try. It didn't disappoint. Was yummy. Interesting concept. I also got one of the rice beers (lager) which I really liked. The staff were friendly. Will come back here if in the area.

We ordered the pretzel balls. They were good, but they needed more salt. We also ordered the Philly cheesesteak, OMG! I am a Philly cheesesteak connoisseur and it had this wonderful cheesy hatch sauce. This is my very favorite new Philly cheesecake place out here because there's not a lot of places we can go. We also got the sliders. The sliders had a really nice bun. It came with a smash burger Patty, it has wonderful, caramelized, onions, and sliced pickles. It was a very nice combination and they have the yummy thousand island dressing on there similar to In-N-Out. Derick was are server and was doing awesome, especially considering he was alone on a crazy busy day. The food was great, atmosphere decent. We will be back! I was so glad it was better than my expectations!

When I received my poppers it was missing one jalapeño and instead of having them remaking like they said they just added one. I wasn't too upset about that but at the end when I finished my beer It looked as tho the glass wasn't cleaned properly. There was crumbs inside the glass which is gross. Can't recommend this location over Oxnard.

Meatless and mad…read more Topper's has been my go to pizza place ever since it opened in Ventura. 90% of the time I love the pizza but not tonight. I ordered a medium 1/2 cheese with extra red sauce and 1/2 Veggie, kinda a standard order. Tonight the cheese side was great as usual but the veggie had some type of unknown meat mixed in above the veggies. For many reasons, too many to list I have not eaten meat since 1975. I know the taste of good veggies and deplore the taste of any type of meat. Because there are so many veggies in the pizza I'd have inspect the pizza with a magnifying glass to make sure it's meatless, but should I have to? I took a bite of the veggie and tasted the meat hidden among the veggies and spit it out. No more veggie pizza for me. Come on topper's. Can't you give a loyal customer what they order? No meat means no meat. You Owen the Ventura County pizza market, you have a good product but BE CARFUL. I'm mid July Ventura gets a slice house pizza place. I know I'm one loyal Toppers customer that will give Slice House a good look.

They have a salad bar here and plenty of seating but since today feels like the first cool day in the past week, I decided to sit out on the patio. I order a lunch size pizza (includes 2 toppings) and a fountain drink. I got a sausage and olive pizza. For size reference, it's the size of a ball cap or a small salad plate. Definitely is a 1 serving pizza but plenty to feel satisfied with. Pizza is as good as the Oxnard harbor location.

The loft is the perfect place to grab a cold one and watch the sunset. We tried their Hazy IPA and a seltzer--both were amazingly crafted and left us wanting another. We didn't get any food this time, but everything we saw others order looked delicious. They have a pizza place they share space with, there were some really good looking pizzas being ordered. The entire bar has a rustic and nostalgic feel, with charming décor inside and out. They offer free parking in their lot, though it is limited. I highly recommend checking out Transmission Brewery--you won't be disappointed.
