Just ate here. Incredible atmosphere, service, and food. Pretty unbelievable find for our dinner!

Small portions of food !!!! Not a great quality! It's ok but , we won't go back ! Nothing special! Everything is in mini size including ur coke and Pepsi, so imagine ordering a drink and it comes in a tine tiny cup . Kinda disappointing. Indoor setting is extremely hot no A/C better to sit outside. Get ready to get ripped off! read more

Great service, very yummy food, and the environment is lovely. A bit pricey, but great for more formal occasions like birthdays or dates.

Good foot but even better service. We were walking down state street when we were warmly greeted by the staff who gave our dog a treat. Later while discussing lunch options, I decided I was in the mood for pizza so we returned and were seated outside. My husband and I each ordered a pizza and drink which were excellent. The pizzas were well portioned and filling, and the dough had great fluffy but chewy texture. The live singer on the Sunday afternoon was incredible, really lovely voice, and relaxing ambiance. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience, especially for my rambunctious 16 month old! read more

We were visiting this location from Las Vegas on Sept. 28th, 2025, as walk up guests, during dinner time without a reservation. We were warmly greeted and offered a table inside or outside (our choice) by the hostess. We chose outside and were seated in Paige C' section (our server). Service provided from Paige was welcoming, prompt, and attentive. We ordered two cocktails (Kettle/Soda and a Tanqueary/Soda), and the black mussels for our appetizer. Paige was sincerely interested in our parties back and forth concerns and questions and resolved any questions honestly and if she didnt have the answer she went back to the kitchen and asked for clarification and promptly came back with an answer. She did not seem irritated or bothered. We ordered Lobster Risotto, Braised Short Ribs, Filet (medium rare- more rare than medium), broccolinni, carrots, and mash potatoes for our split entrée and sides. The food came out hot, quicker than expected, and was 100% accurate. Our experience significantly outperformed our expectation. Paige C., if you're reading this, THANK YOU AGAIN. You have a quality about you that can be a model example for service employees of what to do even when faced with difficulties. Great job. Chef, you and your kitchen staff executed our order/experience beyond any other experience I have had that can be compared to my recent visit to Mizza. We had such an amazing dinner. Thank you and your staff. 10 out of 10 recommend. read more

Octopus was subpar. Salty and mosquitoes around. 3.5% for paying with a credit card did not help.

Great food from start to finish, European vibes. Max was an attentive and genuinely amazing server, and we can't recommend the mussels enough -- absolutely delicious and a must-order! read more

we had the braided short ribs and the italian ham, olive and artichoke pizza and both were pretty good, especially the tender short ribs. service was great and tables are comfortable. also love that they give some complimentary bread. lovely restaurant overall! read more

The food is delicious I have order to go before and I finally went to eat at the restaurant everything was good until we got the bill and they had added a credit card charge to my total I expressed to the waiter that I was not going to use a credit card and to remove the charge I told him I was going to pay with my inkind app which is linked to my debit card . I recently downloaded this app while in vegas to pay at restaurants. The manager proceeded to say that I had to pay the credit card charge for using the app and I said no mam I will not . I have never encountered such a bogus charge in any restaurant before . For me this ruined the whole experience I would have been a returning customer but not anymore. Be careful read before you pay read more

Every time we go here it's just nice and comfortable, food is delicious and I really enjoy myself. I came recently for my birthday and the servers were very gracious to my kooky kids (2 and 4 years old). They have a kids menu and crayons which is always a plus for me. We always sit outside and they have music sometimes too which is nice! read more

I go here often and always love the atmosphere and company. I am putting a low review due to the manager and the staff denying me with showing up at a later time. There time shows 9:00pm closing online and I showed up at 8:40pm. I called the restaurant as I left and wanted to speak to a manager, I then got one in the phone and was explaining what had happened when I got hung up on. I called back and was told from the manager that I was the rude one that hung up on them. It was really disappointing that a restaurant that I enjoy so much and that I visit quite often be rude in a way that frankly I won't ever go back. If a company is closing their kitchen early than they need to adjust there times correctly for the consumer to know when they're not wanting to work anymore. With this said, I will not be going back to MIZZA and I will also network this to many people that travel and also visit Santa Barbara for great experiences so they can avoid this restaurant due to there lack of wanting to provide service. With best regards. read more

Wonderful ambiance. Best place to eat dinner with the Christmas lights, outdoor seating with fire pits and heaters. Live music outside. Delicious, romantic date with my family. Very accommodating with our little one's food allergy too. Dogs allowed. read more

My boyfriend and I had our anniversary dinner here during our trip to Santa Barbara. I was craving pizza, so that's why I picked this spot. He ordered the Braised Short Rib and I ordered a pizza off the vegan menu (Spinach + Roasted Tomatoes) with added pepperoni because I'm lactose intolerant and can't eat dairy/cheese. I do really love that they have a whole separate vegan menu! Unfortunately, the food left much to be desired. My boyfriend's short rib was pretty salty. My pizza was alright, the crust/dough was the best part. I can't imagine how bland it must be on its own without pepperoni to be honest! (And I've had great vegan pizza in the past and often get my pizzas without cheese, so those factors are definitely not the issue.) I would definitely skip on the pizza next time and maybe try a pasta dish instead. read more

We had a short run with mashed potato that the meat was falling off the bone. Never needed a knife and was delicious. Pizza looked good. Fresh young eager to please server. And the prices were almost refreshing. 4$ for a glass of beer. Not the elsewhere $6 or 8. $14 for 12 inch pizza. I almost thought I was back 20 years. And in the middle of Santa Barbara tourist section! I'm going back soon read more

The location is excellent, but unfortunately the service and food were a major disappointment. The food arrived late, was very ordinary, and the portions were surprisingly small. Even bread comes at an extra charge, which might appeal to those on a strict diet, but not to diners expecting value. To make matters worse, the restaurant adds a 3.5% credit card surcharge that is not clearly disclosed. It isn't posted prominently and was never mentioned by the host or our server at any point. Customers are simply expected to notice it on their own. Overall, when a restaurant nickel-and-dimes its customers, it's hard to have confidence in the quality of the ingredients or the dining experience. read more

This is a long time coming review. Mizza is a must have when we come to Santa Barbara. The staff attentive and courteous. There is both seating indoor and outdoor but I would recommend sitting outside since where Mizza is located it gives such a relaxing vibe. When it comes to the food Mizza hits it out of the park ever single time. I would be lying if we didn't have our favorites but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I should also add that I had Mizza catered for my wedding and the amount of detail that went into the catering was phenomenal! I appreciate the entire process. Thank you to Andrew for always making sure our guests were well taken care of. Mizza has a special place in our hearts! I hope you enjoy their food and ambiance just as much as we have over the years. read more

Mizza - Chicken Marsala and draft peroni - Italian Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Located on State Street that's blocked off from cars, you'll need to find parking in one of the lots a block or two over. Indoor seating is very minimal, you'll likely have to sit outside if you come during busy hours. Food overall was okay. I'd characterize their pizza style more as a flatbread than a pizza. Best dish was the burrata and tomato with their bread. Worst dish was the chicken Marsala. Stringy chicken, overcooked vegetables...on par or worse than the chicken Marsala from cheesecake factory. Meatball and onion pizza was okay. Again, more like a flatbread but appropriate amount of meatball and cheese as toppings. read more

Everything was good we were a family of 5 Salmon farfalle braised short ribs chicken parmesan was great I had the pizza arugula proshitto it was ok Spicy shrimp sauce was great brushetta was good wish it was prepared before served Tiramisu and brulee was really good limoncello cake was a decent shortcake form Nice place but poor service read more

Poor service. Absolutely the worst! Food was disappointing. One bathroom. Forgot to serve the bread. Never followed up, said they had no coffee. Had to ask for everything. No utensils. Dirty table...you get my drift. Will not be coming back to this nightmare of an establishment. Staff is a bunch of kids with no sense of professionalism. Subpar everything. read more

Yum! My girls and I stayed on the mesa for my bachelorette party and ordered in some pizza. We loved the margherita and the truffle mushroom. The angular prosciutto was pretty good too, but the squash one was a little too much for us (maybe if the squash was a bit thinner?). It was not ready when we went to pick it up (they had not seen the online order, even though it said it would be ready in 20 min) so we had to walk around while we waited. But overall it was yummy and made my pizza-particular friend happy! read more

I highly recommend Mizza. We plan to come back, it will probably become a staple in our rotation. Food: The two of us shared a side Caesar salad, spicy sausage pizza and the pesto pasta. We would absolutely get them again. There were so many delicious sounding items on the menu that we wanted to try, we will have to come back. The pizza was a tiny bit oily but not too much. Service: Very attentive, professional, and great pace. They brought our dogs a water bowl without us even asking. Awesome experience overall. read more

I don't know why but I haven't tried this Italian restaurant before, maybe because when I have an Italian food, I usually go to "Chase " and today I had a chance to try. The restaurant is located on State street so it's convenient to have lunch or dinner when you are shopping. We ordered Veggie pizza, vegetarian pasta, meatball spaghetti, tiramisu and decaf latte. Everything was good! About pasta, I like it harder ( Al-dente). Latte was a little bit weak but maybe it's because I ordered decaf. All staffs were nice and friendly. we parked at a public parking near the restaurant. read more

Service was really slow at first, but after the staff realized that no one had came to take our order, the waiter seemed to be more attentive and we weren't without water for the rest of the meal, which is always a good sign! All of the dishes we got were very good! From the spicy shrimp pasta to the mushroom risotto to the butternut squash ravioli... all super tasty. I did see some tables get some bread + evoo and not sure if that was free, but it would have been nice to have that too. read more

We got lunch here on Sunday and had such a phenomenal experience! The food was delicious and so well-balanced. My husband and I split the anti-pasta, the spinach gnocchi, and the meatball and caramelized onion pizza. Everything was absolutely amazing, and we are still talking about the pasta sauce, deeply regret not getting an extra order to go! More than that, we received the most outstanding service. Our server Tavon was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and anticipated our every need. He was so friendly and joyful and made us feel so welcome. read more

Came here for a quick lunch after visiting the museum of art. It was only a three minute walk and the service was amazing. The food came out fast, and it was delicious. I loved the sauce in the linguine and clams and the bread was delicious. The crème brûlée was delicious . Would make the drive down again for Mizza and I would love to try the pizza out. read more
