    I'm going to start off letting you know I'm from Chicago and also lived in NYC. So my pizza expectations are hard to meet in SB. The white chicken pizza was ok, it had way too much raw garlic in every bite. A little fresh pesto instead of the garlic on top after it's cooked would be a huge improvement. The other sausage pepper onion pizza really bad! They use the cheapest pre cooked frozen sausage crumbles. It tasted like a store bought frozen pizza. The good the pizza crust was nice, crispy & nicely chewy, the red sauce had a good flavor. I would have liked a little more cheese. Both pizzas were about $9.00 each I asked for 2 coronas. When I went to pay it was over $60.00 and I asked why and the girl told me she added a tip. I should have gotten a recipe but I didn't. So I assume she charged me about $25.00 just to ring up my order and hand me my food. Totally not cool. And for that reason I will never give them my business again! Here is a screenshot from your website dude. $8.99 white chicken pizza. Maybe you should use some of that energy insulting me fixing what's wrong with your restaurant. I did not add a tip check your security cameras I wanted to, but she said she added it automatically. so that's on you and if you don't like bad reviews, then I suggest to fix what's wrong instead of insulting your customers.

    Came here to get some pizzas to go and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious they were! First off service was 10/10, thanks to the kind gentlemen D who provided my group and I with the just the right amount to order! This place has many different types of pizzas to choose from with great vegetarian options in my opinion. The menu is basically all pizzas with two salad options and wings. They do serve alcohol and do have lunch specials here. We got the family size pizza and an extra large which were plenty for us. We ask for thin and crispy and it was exactly that. We enjoyed the garlic breadsticks, warm and loaded with garlic!

    Mesa Pizza has some good pizza selections. We ordered a Meat Lovers Pizza and Chicken Barbecue pizzas for a table of 7. They were great along with some chicken wings. Lots of good meat and sauces for the pizzas. Nice young staff, and we were satisfied.

    When the owner makes the food it's incredible / the best pizza in town, their used to be a very rude worker that worked here for the longest time that made me stop coming here but I don't see him anymore he would hang up the phone and yell at you on the phone and spoke bad English

    my face, pizza, both homemade!

    Good pizza at a good price in a cozy location. Good people and good beer at a good price, too. It's an undiscovered gem in Santa Barbara.

    This is now my favorite pizza in SB. Gino's is good too, but Mesa Pizza takes the cake. It's always fresh and perfectly spiced.

You order at the counter and the food is brought over to your table. The service was friendly, though it could have been better--we had to get our own water, cutlery, and napkins and nobody came to check on us throughout the meal. Maybe that was because we came right at opening on the weekend. Food-wise, some dishes were better than others. The smoked brisket banh mi was disappointing, mainly because the brisket was chewy. The burrata-tomato salad with added chicken breast was good and felt fresh and satisfying. The chicken salad sandwich was okay, but the bread was too hard, which made it less enjoyable. On the positive side, my son really enjoyed the kids' grilled cheese sandwich with fries. Overall, The Daisy has a lovely atmosphere, and a great dog-friendly patio, but the food was a bit hit-or-miss during our visit.

I actually liked it a little more than my own food and almost traded with him. Too bad he doesn't like clam chowder! The onion rings he ordered were just as good. The tempura batter was a 10/10. It wasn't oily at all, which is the key to a good tempura fry. We loved the weather, and all the tables had cover, which made it even better. It was a beautiful day made even better by their food.

You can get new tires next door, but while you're waiting, you can catch breakfast or lunch. Outdoors, there's a lot of seating. Wooden tables and wicker chairs. Awnings and large umbrella coverings. You pay first, and then they seat you. There's some seating indoors, but it's limited, compared to outdoors. I ordered a latte ($5.50) and avocado toast ($16). They add a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card. There is a window for to-go orders, but if you're dining in, you place your order with the gal at the podium. I have to say, although there were two staff working on drinks, my latte took a while. Luckily, it came before the food. There was a staff member waiting at the counter and delivering just drinks. Once I got my latte, it tasted good. Strong. I felt the caffeine. The avocado toast was good, too. It was served in a shallow metal dish. Thick, high quality, Artisan bread. I enjoyed the toasted pumpkin seeds. I would definitely order it again, but open to ordering something else on the menu next time. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and efficient. There was another gentleman standing in the back, immediately clearing tables. It's better if you come earlier on the weekends. There was a line of people when I was leaving. There's plenty of free street parking. I parked across the street.

Soup of the Day was French Onion, which is on the sweeter side, and comes with cheese and a crostini soaking up the broth. Onions are very nicely caramelized. It was tasty but the portion of this soup was a bit large for the intensity of the soup sweetness, almost like syrup after eating it enough. Any other soup - I'd be fine with the portion size. Partner's review of the BLT: "Plenty of bacon and toasted very nice on sourdough, the sourdough with the soup was balanced.
