GETTING HERE: Located in College Plaza on Telegraph Road next to V.C. It's now where Santino's Pizza used to be. MOOD: You had me at pizza! Let's gooooooo. REVIEW: So good! Let me break it down. Food: I ordered their garlic bread (HUGE!); regular Calzone; and Turkey and Swiss. Garlic bread was excellent, get it. The Calzone was also huge and filled with tomato sauce and toppings. It could probably be split between 2 people. The Turkey was also amazing, ditto on the splitting, etc. Service: Came during lunch and while I know it will get busier for them, the young girl and young man were friendly and went over-and-above for providing me friendly service. Very appreciated! Ambiance: Loving the sports bar vibe. Let's go Dodgers! :) Recommend Pizza Station 1000%. Enjoy and I can't wait to be back! read more

I loved pizza station. Honestly had low expectations at first since it had been empty so long but it's really really good! The pizza is great, love the salad bar and very reasonably priced. Staff are friendly! Looking forward to going back soon. read more

yikes.... we were really excited for this experience cause we're local - but it really missed the mark, on multiple fronts. First, they had one employee working the floor, who clearly didn't have prior experience. there was a group of maybe four families - plus maybe two other tables - total of 6 occupied tables - in their 'bar area' and it was too much for her to handle. We entered the restaurant and waited to be seated at the front, the waitress apologized for being busy and said she would be back to seat us - but didn't come back. The owner's family member came and told us we could sit wherever we want - so we sat in the front room, which was empty except for one couple. The front door was left open and the owner of the establishment was smoking outside with some girl sitting on the curb of the parking lot - i literally got up and closed the door. no one came to take our order, until the older woman / family member came and said 'i'm sorry for the service, i normally don't do this job' and took our pizza order. pizza was NOT good. the 'mexican' one was so sad with the worst salsa on top... it was literally soggy. will not be back. sucks. read more

Went on a weekend for lunch. There were two other groups at noon. Staff greeting friendly and said it was open seating. We opted to sit in the bar area to catch the games on TV. Found out from staff that the menu was limited as they just opened a month or so prior. Nothing impressive to note. Pizza was alright, but VERY greasy. I was okay with taste of the crust, however it is worth sharing that thickness of crust was paper thin in the middle of the pie which made all toppings fall off. Salad bar was disappointed with food not giving "fresh" vibes. The salad was warm. Will I return? Perhaps if invited for a special occasion where I didn't select venue. Recommend? Not with its present offerings. read more

Wow wow wow! Santinos is back!! New name and owners but the pizza is the same recipe! I was so happy when the waitress said it tastes the same!! The sauce is just as I remembered. The crust is a little thinner than I remembered but so good! Is it greasy? Yes but it's pizza! The salad bar was so fresh and tasty! The only complaint I have would be they need to make their own dressings it tasted like it was the smart and final one but maybe I'm wrong! read more

The Calzone and Pesto Meat RavIolI was delicious and the portions are more than shareable. I was looking for a reasonably priced Italian restaurant with that authentic family style restaurant feel. Found it!! read more

I really wanted to rate this restaurant 5 stars. I will give them a second try in the future. Here is what went wrong. 1. Service. We waiting at the hostess station for a long time. Several employees made eye contact with us. No one approached for 5 minutes minimum. No exaggeration. 5 minutes minimum. Finally, the lady said we could sit where we wanted. She said the back room was packed. Then she went back to work. We chose a table not far from the salad bar. We waited a long long time. No menus. No silverware on the table. Nothing. We sat. We were in great moods and yet we knew this place was grossly understaffed. More eye contact from the employees. No words. We watched a female employee arrive at 6:35 PM. We were there since 6:08 PM. At 6:45, a male employee approached us and asked if we had been waited on yet. We said no. He got us menus. Then the female employee that arrived at 6:35, came over and said she would be helping us. He said ok & left. We put in our orders. We got our sodas quickly. After a 5 minute wait, I stood up and asked a male employee if I could go directly to the salad bar. He said yes. I only saw the large bowls there. My spaghetti dinner came with a small salad for an upcharge. When I returned to the table, there wasn't any silverware still so I got up again and asked for some from another male employee. Our meals arrived 15 minutes from the time we ordered. Not too bad.. after so much waiting. 2. The food. I ordered spaghetti & meatballs. I ordered the salad bar. The salad bar was fresh and the selection was good. My only recommendation is to add different lettuces Their lettuce mix is iceberg, some romaine, & it was topped with raducchio. The spaghetti & meatballs were meh. The meatballs were kind of dry and the sauce was nothing to write home about. The noodles & sauce seemed like they came from the grocery store. I did like the garlic bread. Hubby ordered the Italian Sub. He said it didn't have enough meat & cheese. It was a skimpy sandwich He ordered the fries for an additional $2. The fries were fabulous! Yummy. 3. The menu. I am a teacher and I noticed 7 spelling errors. Fries not frys. Calzone. & a few others. I will happily fix those mistakes for your restaurant for free before you reprint your menus. We will come back for the pizza. Hopefully, the staffing will be proportionate to the large amount of customers. We wish you well, Pizza Station. We want you to thrive. read more

I got a chance to try their spaghetti with meatballs and meat sauce and I was quite pleased! It is comparable in quality as one of my favorites over in Santa Barbara (Giovanni's on upper State St) I also ordered a small Pepperoni Pizza. Good portion of cheese ... was a tad on the salty side. It appears they toss their own dough. I skipped their salad bar: Still no croutons. For a business that opened only recently, they still have some glitches to address, but seem to be doing their best.There was a large group over in the banquet room to service, so I get it. I saw more customers this time but is a good sign. I plan to return. read more

EXCELLENT PIZZA! Best crust ANYWHERE in the area!! Went with my ladies (who lunch) group. We all had the salad bar, excellent!! And we all ordered different things and it was WINNERS all the way around! And then I brought pizza home, husband and son were equally as delighted with the Take Away pizza (Hawaiian) Service was excellent, by the way!! read more

Love that we have our favorite Sub shop back, didn't disappoint. Salad bar is well stocked, hopefully they'll add a cottage cheese or Mac salad to the mix in the future. Subs are huge, so expect to take home leftovers. We went when they opened , people started coming in and there was only one server, but the owner came out to assist. The pizza looked delicious, but our friend wouldn't share ;) I'll definitely be back. read more

Good food and service. Family of 4 we ordered 2 pizzas and the Garlic cheese bread appetizer.

Service is horrendous! Ordered two pizzas, only received 1. Server didn't write it down . Lasagna horrible - way too much salt! Over charged us on our bill. Manager was gone so they couldn't fix it. Three weeks later , nothing !! Will not return our calls. Will let fraud dept at bank handle!! Beware ! Do not see this place lasting very long ! Good riddance! read more

Love this local treasure, for real. Nice staff, guilty Italian, leave your pretense at the door and support local

Great cheese, crust, and sauce. What more could you ask for? I think the pizza is better than Santino's was. Only complaint is I think the branding feels like fast food, but why should that matter. Well done, and keep at it. You waited a little too long to open, but its great having good pizza in the neighborhood! read more

This place use to be old Santinos for those of you that are Ventura residents. Food is delicious and worth the portion size. Service is great, nice people that took over, friendly and great customer service. Ambience is clean and simple. Relax and enjoy great pizza and more!! read more

No root beer! Everybody knows root beer is the proper soda for pizza. Pizza was limp; crust not baked through. Salad bar looked okay. My sweetheart had a calzone, which looked good. But she ordered that because they were out of ravioli. Lots of TV's on the wall. It's a new business. I would be willing to re-evaluate after they have some time to get their act together. Really though, you need to offer root beer, read more

The reviews are not wrong. What a wonderful place. The staff was amazing,kind, and attentive. The pizza was just yummy. There is a great variety of options not just pizza. Atmosphere was great. Quiet and welcoming. There were lots of sport on but nothing was blasting. You could actually hear people talking at your table. read more

First time at this restaurant since it was Santinos. Our experience was very disappointing. Our party of 7 stood around for several minutes while the waitress did something behind a counter. She finally told us we could sit where we wanted. While the waitress was friendly, the service remained very slow and the restaurant wasn't even busy. There were other staff, but they did not assist at all. She mixed up our order (gave us a discount) and never returned to offer more drinks. The spicy roast beef was decent and the pizza was okay, which is why I gave them a couple stars. We will not return, the experience does not deserve a second chance. read more

Really good! Pizza was tasty - bar area is fun! Service was 100%! We will be back.

Heard their promotion on the radio,that's what got us there.1st bad sign...nobody eating there on Saturday lunch time except us. $70 for large pizza,3 salads,3 drinks and fries: worst part is there was a hint of cinnamon,nutmeg or cardamon most likely in the sauce. My kids were unhappy with it and talked crap all the way home.Unfortunately the food was already there and we started to eat when we tasted that in the pizza and too late to send back which we never do anyway! Definitely not going back. I hate to say this but Dominos is better. read more

Food and service was great they really made a great effort to keep a similar vibe that Ventura has been used too. Excited to see how they continue to develop a proven model with their own style of care and creations. Calzone was awesome and the bread used on the sandwich was really good too. Will definitely be back for more pizzas read more

In a word: EXCEPTIONAL. Everything has a hearty, homemade taste!! Just picked up a large Hawaiian pizza, meat ravioli, and lasagna. Pizza was positively perfect. Savory flavor, perfectly browned crust, and an overall texture & taste that is noticeably better than any of the pizza chain stores. The ravioli was magnificent. And the lasagna was straight up heavenly: reminds me of how my Italian godmother from NY used to make it. I really appreciate it when independent pizza places offer Italian entrees (spaghetti and meatballs, manicotti, pastas, etc.) -- and Pizza Station's are really impressive. Do yourself a favor and get an entree or sandwich with your pizza. I guaran-damn-tee you'll be glad you did! Exactly the type of old school pizza joint that I prefer. Delizioso read more

Really good menu. Really generous portions. I love the atmosphere. They have a really nice sports bar. Come check them out

Service was wonderful! As far as the food, I give it a 2. They use the same pizza sauce for the pasta! It was not edible. Watching the staff making the pizza was interesting. No one person back there had gloves on! Everything was done with bare hands. Even when I seen one of the cooks scoop out ice cream using his hands! OMG! The kitchen looked neat, but the staff was not following any health codes. Rubbing hands on the back of your pants then your apron is not sanitary! The manager was just standing there staring off into space drinking a soda leaning against pizza station window! You would have thought she could have noticed the salad bar had no lettuce among other stuff that was missing! The ice cream was the last straw! We paid out bill, got to go boxes for everything. We threw it all away outside. I wish It was still Santinos! It's not the same pizza at all! read more

We celebrated in their banquet room (34 guests). The pasta and pizzas were served hot and the serving sizes were great. The salad has a good variety of salad toppings. Everything was delicious and our server Jessica was amazing!! Thank you to the chef and all the behind the scenes staff. Patty M read more

Good pizza, new staff, still working out kinks. Need pizza to be brought out hot out of oven to table. Good salad bar, service, and seating. Good. read more

I just had lunch at the Pizza Station at first it seems like it has some of the same recipes as Santinos but after I had the Italian sandwich and it only had three thin slices of meat and I paid $19, I have decided its nothing like Santinos. It was like I was eating a bread sandwich Also menu is very limited. I should have just went to Jersey Mikes. read more

Great service delicious food and more TV's for Sports Watching than Best Buy. Several different rooms to eat in so your not just in one big dining room. Easy parking and a fun place. read more

We enjoyed our first visit to Pizza Station! It's new and in our neighborhood so very convenient. The service was excellent. We liked the pizza even though it is light on the sauce! The size of the medium pizza and the salad bar bowls were generous. Lots of food for the money! read more

Great food, good prices, great service! Great parking and conveniently located. Can't wait to try their spaghetti and meatballs.

Amazing pizza amazing enviorment best place to go with the family we love it here this is the best enviorment here

Pizza was pretty good but VERY greasy. We ordered a pepperoni pizza. Pizza was very thin on the 18". Salad bar is very mediocre. The ranch is not good at all. I was hoping that this would be a great place but I'm not sure if I'll return. I feel bad for saying this but I have to speak the truth. Hopefully they read this and will make some changes. read more

spaceous , airy place, entertainment for kids, salad bar, sandwiches and so much more

Remembering Santino's pepperoni pizza from when I was a kid in the 80's, my husband and I went to Pizza Station hoping to have another bite of that unique recipe with the oozing whole milk mozzarella, plentiful pepperoni, tasty sauce and chewy, slightly sweet hand tossed crust . Jessica, our server, greeted us with a warm smile and tuned two of the big screen TVs to the Dodger game for us and promptly took our order. When I told her I used to wait tables there in the 80's, she told me that Rueben, the cook might remember me, as he once again works there! I knew then we were going to get the real thing, and we were not disappointed! It was exactly the same yummy, cheesy extravaganza that I love. Jessica was awesome, attentive and accommodating even as she waited on a much larger table next to us. The decor is perfect. The owners added warmth and character to the interior, while leaving the old school, cozy feeling of the prior establishment intact. Very impressed! read more

We had a party of nine and were able to be seated right away at 5 pm on Sunday. Service staff was very friendly and helpful. We placed our drink order and then our dinner orders. After we ordered, the place got very busy with multiple groups, families and sports groups. Food was delicious, salad bar items were very fresh. We plan on going again. Staff was stretched as only 3 on at that time. Yet they did a great job! read more
