    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!

    I usually wait until my second visit and/or second dish before I give a restaurant a 5th star, but Jacob's gets that 5th star on my first visit! The staff were super attentive even though they were very busy and they were also very friendly. The food was delicious, my wife and I got a large Sonoma Pizza and a mixed green salad to share. Before we even got to the pizza, that was the best green salad I've ever had. Simple, yummy, especially the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. I am a pizza snob, and with the exception of Mountain Mike's, I can't stand any of the big chains. The Sonoma pizza had the perfect balance of pepperoni, salami, mushrooms, onions and garlic. The restaurant was also impeccably decorated, with a splash of Italy and Sonoma Wine country represented. Every dish they walked by made my mouth water. We definitely be going back again and again, especially when we head out that way for wine tasting.

    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!

    Rings my bell for tasty food, generous portions, friendly staff and really reasonable prices. The dining room is basic. No frills. Tables spaced more than 6 feet apart for those who are still Covid conscious. Dinner for me and Barbara tonight was: crispy calamari, a Cesar salad, a big bowl of pene pasta with spicy sausage bathed in a delicious tomato cream sauce. Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The calamari was crunchy outside, succulent inside. The Cesar was freshly crisp, seasoned lightly, had plenty of grated Parmesan cheese. Topped with the world's crunchiest croutons. We finished up with a panna cotta topped with a preserved black cherry. Creamy deliciousness that concluded a very satisfying meal. All the food with 2 glasses of wine cost less than $64. That's 70% less money than I paid at another Italian restaurant in Santa Rosa 2 nights ago. Well done Jacob's. You won 2 new regular customers. Highest recommendation for real family friendly food.

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. It ended up being the perfect unexpected stop on our little adventure.

We started with The Morel mushroom tartare, which is morel mushrooms, with an egg, shallots and chives oil over a perfectly well toasted sourdough. Delicious! The steak tartare did not disappoint either. Great balance of flavor between the two. The mushroom earthy flavors along with a light hint of pesto from the morel tartare really balanced out the richness from the steak tartare. The pickled figs served with in the steak tartare really called my attention as they were delicious as well. That was my first having pickled figs :) The salad was delicious, I am a sucker for cheese and the perfectly ripe figs along with the chèvre cheese truly hit the spot.

The smoked salmon was good but nothing to write home about. Their house chips are nice and thick, which I like, but a little too salty for me. I'd like to come back up to try the mussels, duck or some other entree next time I'm in the area, though I probably wouldn't go out of my way.
