    We chose this nearby restaurant after a long day of travel without being able to eat. The restaurant specializes in pizza and Italian dishes. I had the spicy penne. The pasta was served in a spicy red sauce. The sauce had some but not a lot of spice. The dish hit the spot after not having much to eat because of travel. The penne was very good. The service was fine. Prices were reasonable. We struck up a conversation with diners at a near by table. They had some recommendations regarding local wineries. I'd recommend this restaurant and would return.

    Penne Spicy Sausage
    Caron M.

    I'm staying at the resort across the street from this restaurant, and after a long day, couldn't face driving anywhere for dinner. I had a sneaking suspicion that something called Jacob's Restaurant tucked into a strip mall would be a bland old fashioned 'family restaurant' affair and the exterior and interior (complete with sunflower table cloth) didn't assuage my concerns. But I'm happy to say I was so wrong. They had a solid wine list, solid service, and really well cooked from scratch pasta. I had the spicy penne and it was delicious. Pasta was perfectly al dente, the sausage nicely spiced though a sludge dense, and the creamy sauce was good enough to swim in. The server was stretched a bit thin, caring for a half dozen tables plus covering the brisk takeout business, but we were still taken care of. What a disguised gem.

    Gluten free pepperoni pizza with pineapple and mushrooms
    Jack L.

    Wonderful pizza spot next to the train amusement park. The pizzas are baked perfectly and loaded with a ton of ingredients. They also had gluten free options which made my kids incredibly happy. They are quite busy though so unfortunately they forgot to put pepperoni on my pepperoni pizza... uh... thankfully they easily fixed it and put so a ton on top. If I'm in the area, I'll be back!

    All meat pizza

    3rd time dining here and every time has been satisfied with good food a great advice. Today we had a large all meet, lamb gyro with a Greek salad , cheese bread a a pitcher. All of it was good and we would order it all again.

    Small cheese pizza
    Brittany S.

    Ordered a small cheese pizza First time here, Lacking cheese as the main ingredient, one and a half slices had NO CHEESE And the cheese that was put on was very thin and the taste just isn't there. Needs more cheese and flavor. Cheese tastes weird It doesn't taste very good I wouldn't go back not good pizza at all

    I paid $70 bucks for this pizza off DoorDash, I did get a lot of toppings but they put raw tomato on there I did give the dasher a $5 tip but $70 for this is a rip off. Currently cooking the tomato in my oven the adding to my pizza then cooking the undercooked pizza

    Penne Chicken

    Super great service, amazing food. Server was amazing and very welcoming! Penne Chicken, sauce seemed homemade which was great, it personally for my palette, it needed a little more salt but that was an easy fix. Pepperoni pizza with pineapple was great. My toddler enjoyed it! linguine seafood was great, good size portion with great flavor.

    Some friends invited us for dinner here and they ordered the pizza ahead of time so when we all arrived it was ready for us. Our waiter Joaquin was very friendly and helpful in ordering our drinks and making sure we had everything we needed. The combination pizza was very good. She swapped the tomato for sundried tomato which I loved gave it another flavor. Pizza is thin and has tons of toppings on it. It has a spacious inside area to dine in and also a small outdoor area which I am sure is very nice to sit at, but it was full when we got there. Will be back I do want to try other things they have on their menu that sounded good.

    My husband and I walked to Jacob's restaurant from our hotel. It was a 15 to 20 minute walk. There weren't many people when we arrived, so the place was ours. We found the service to be good and the food was tasty and fresh. We plan to visit again when we make our trips to Sonoma.

    Pizza!

    Cute little restaurant located conveniently next to the Sonoma Train, which makes for a very short walk to get some solid Italian food! Pizza, pastas, and more ... service was solid and accommodating. Pizzas had a nice dough and a good amount of toppings! Definitely cheesy which my daughter enjoyed! Pasta was also fresh and tasty. The salad was filled with cheese, dressing, and was a nice crisp start to accompany the meal. Good amount of seating. Nice and quaint way to end a day spent at the Sonoma Train place next door with the kiddies. Happy kids = happy parents!

    chicken gyro
    Elaine T.

    After doing a bit of research online, my first food stop on my trip to Sonoma was Jacob's. Since it was late afternoon midweek, there was no wait and a plenty of seats available both inside and on their shaded patio. They are open all afternoon except for Monday, so if the places around the central square are packed, this place is a great choice. The waitress was very efficient and friendly, and recognized me on a subsequent visit, welcoming me back! I chose the chicken gyro with a side salad, that was ENORMOUS and delicious, but even in my ravenous state, I could only finish half of this plate! A friend ordered the pesto chicken sandwich with side salad and could not finish it either, although they were equally famished! I knew after this meal to always split a plate here unless you wanted leftovers to take away! I went back the next day and used my newly acquired knowledge about their portion sizes to split a caesar salad and lasagna with my dining partner and it worked out perfectly! We sat outside under huge red umbrellas, so the shots below have a bit of a tint to them :( The lasagna was served with vegetables that could have been a meal in and of themselves, with a cheesy bread side. The beef lasagna was obviously freshly made with a bright tangy tomato sauce and loaded with vegetables. Even splitting this with the salad was very filling!

    Half Sonoma and ham pineapple
    Ron R.

    In Sonoma it is not real easy to find a restaurant open on Tuesday or Wednesday. Luckily we found Jacob's. This is a small family business. The service and staff are great. The server recommend wines were very good. We ordered bruschetta 4/5, calamari 5/5, and a pizza half Sonoma 5/5 and half ham and pineapple 5/5. The pizza crust is very good.

I ordered a pepperoni pizza with prosciutto and a Margherita pizza. The pepperoni with prosciutto pizza was rich, smoky, and perfectly salty with crispy edges that curled into little pockets of flavor. The dough had that beautiful airy chew with a slightly tangy, fermented taste that made every bite feel authentic and deeply satisfying. The crust was blistered golden and lightly charred with a crisp exterior that gave way to a soft pillowy center. The Margherita pizza was simple in the best possible way. It was fresh, bright, and incredibly balanced. The sauce tasted vibrant and slightly sweet, the mozzarella was creamy and delicate, and the basil added a fragrant finish that tied everything together. The dough again completely stole the show with its light texture, subtle sourdough flavor, and perfectly crisp bottom. The crust was rustic, fluffy, and beautifully caramelized. The ambiance was warm, lively, and inviting, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal, but the customer service was even better.

In 1959, family matriarch Mary Fazio opened up a "shack" serving up Italian homemade comfort food. That shack was in nearby Boyes Hot Springs. The shack is long gone and the family still runs their local restaurants. I'm no stranger to Mary's Pizza. Been dining at their various locations for over 20 years. My go to faves are the pizza and Mary's house salad. But I've never had anything I didn't like from them. The pizza when baked right has a crust with a nice chew and perfect combination of crisp exterior and soft interior. They use quality ingredients. I like that they use the traditional pepperoni with natural casing, it curls up into little cups when baked. Taste all so good. Mmm. Terrific, classic cheese stretch. Pizza sauce is housemade, as is the Sonoma salad dressing. I order that dressing with the signature salad which is another fave of mine. The late weekday afternoon I dropped in, our waiter was enthusiastic and engaging. But possibly due to staffing levels, he forgot to provide plates for the pizza he dropped off and the other items we requested (napkins, refills, the check).

It's charming without trying too hard, and it has that nostalgic, homey vibe that makes you want to sit down, relax, and stay awhile. Customer service was genuinely friendly, which we appreciated after a long day of exploring. Even though it was later in the evening, the staff didn't rush us or make us feel like we were an inconvenience. Instead, they were warm, attentive, and happy to have us there. If you're in Sonoma and looking for a laid‑back place to grab a bite -- whether you're with family, a partner, or just want a chill night out -- Mary's Pizza Shack is a solid choice.

When you enter you'll notice a more homey decor to the place. Warm colors all around and even warmer service once you sit down. Every single experience Ive had here is been nothing less of 110%. Theres always this good balance professionalism with lightheartedness that pair so well for the atmosphere. Because at its core this restaurant is high scale. It definitely has that higher scale vibe but if never comes off as pretentious though. This particular I took my wifey here for our 10th year anniversary together. And we were greeting by a nice little card from the "Fig Family." We ended up trying the Seared Halloumi and I was shocked at how much I liked it. Very light flavors but still enough variety with the crispy spigarello and pine nuts to keep things fun. The lemon never feels too overwhelming. For mains my wife got the Mushroom RisottoI think? Or maybe it was Butternut Squash Risotto? I got the Fig Burger and both were amazing. The only reason I didn't get her Risotto was simply because I already had it at lunch time, but that still didn't stop me from taking a bite. Each rice like grain had a perfect chew and flavor to each bite. Even being the picky person that I am with veggies, I appreciated the veggies addition to the dish. I still think though that the sure winner was my Fig Burger. This burger is everything we wish our local breweries burger was. A harmonic balance between salty and sweet. Im down to get a little crazy with burgers but if it's too sweet, it kinda loses the appeal for me. It takes away too much from the burgers roots. So yea. Go here. Make reservations too. I know for myself I made mine about a month in advance so it's hard to say how hard it is to get a table here. But hopefully it's not too bad. Parking by the way is just street parking. Despite that Ive always been able to get a park on W Spain St right before I pull up to the restaurant. OH! And thanks again Girl and the Fig family! You made the end to our anniversary quite magical!
