Good salad, terrible pizza.... the pizza was almost identical to the place on Linden that's really bad. Don't understand how these places can survive with such bad pizza. The delivery was great.. the person taking the order was very good with details and giving directions. read more

Whenever I am in the Carpinteria area for work or fun, I always like coming to Rusty's Pizza Parlor. They have a great lunch Special: Individual Pizza (2 toppings) Small (One trip Salad Bar) Drink $7.95. What a deal! The pizza here is really good, I have gotten the pan as well as the thin crust versions. I prefer the thin crust, it is cooked to perfection and has a crispy outer crust and the rest is delicious. Pepperoni and Jalapeño is the only way to go for me. I would have given it 5 stars, but in the last couple years they changed the salad bar to 1 visit only and the bowl is fairly small. You used to be able to go back as many times as you wanted, which was nice. Not that I was eating that much more, but at least I did not have to try and stuff everything into one bowl on my first and only trip. Not a big deal, but just wanted to share why I have them a 4, rather than a five. That won't stop me from coming back, I sometimes go out of my way to visit Rusty's, I really like it. They also have a big screen TV you can watch and a selection of old school video games. Rusty's reminds me of an old pizza place I used to go to when I lived in the Midwest, that has since closed down, brings back good memories. Enjoy. read more

Terrible. We were told by our hotel that this was the only place in town that was open late. We may as well have waited until morning to eat that's how bad it was. Bad sandwiches, bad pizza, terrible SLOW service. Nope. read more

Only got 8 wings in our 10 wing order. And apparently Chicago style cut is random uneven pieces? Disappointing. Not worth calling about 2 missing wings but worth noting for the next customer. Sucks to have to count your wings but I guess that's where we are these days. ​ read more

The quality of their pizza has been in decline. Several of our last orders have been undercooked. They have a well done option but it doesn't change anything. read more

Pizza good. I recommend pizza 4 u. Service good. They refill my drink good. Ambiance good. They made me feel very comfortable. Good place

Solid delicious pizza. Katy Perry told me this was her favorite pizza place growing up and I think it's pretty good too.

I ordered the individual pizza, thin crust, extra sauce, pepperoni and black olives. It was pretty good. It was filling, had good flavor and was a reasonable price. The service wasn't great, the woman taking out order was unpleasant, and not helpful. This place is open late, has beer, a tv, some old arcade games and decent seating. I wanted a salad but I was not about to pay $5.99 for a one trip to the salad bar. Consisting of lettuce, a few toppings and dressings. No thanks. read more

I had the most delicious thin crust pizza here. Fairly priced. I was amazed at how good it was. The sauce was delicious and the cheese was delicious. I still find myself thinking about it. And they made it quickly! I wasn't waiting long. If I ever come back to the area I'm stopping here forsure read more

We ordered no contact delivery last night for the first time as well as for the first time from Rusty's. We got a large pizza with half having a select group of toppings and the other side having other ones. My husband and I don't agree on things such as pineapple on pizza. The pizza was perfect. It was exactly as ordered and delicious! We also ordered a thin crust bbq chicken pizza- I didn't have any but the guys said it was good. The garlic bread was on point. The website said it'd take an hour; we ordered at 6:00pm and it was too us by 7. The driver came up in gloves and a mask and knocked and then left it on the front door step. Overall, great food, easy to use website, and great no contact delivery. They have new customers in us! read more

This review is for the new Rustys in Summerland ca. The building is brand new, but Rusty obviously isn't new to pizza and sandwiches. The food is delicious and the service is great. I had the meatball sub and it was awesome. My wife had the bbq pizza, it was awesome also, I tried it as well. We recommend this place. TW read more

When we arrived to pick up our dinner they did not have are order ... at all all good went down the street and had the best Thai Food ever! Thank you Rusty's Pizza Parlor read more

I liked their pizza, their sprite was also very good. But they have bad cap quality. There floors were dirty but it was busy. So that's a cautiona when you go when it's busy. I think it's above average but not my favorite. read more

We had lunch there today. My husband ordered a full meatball sandwich. The lack of meatballs was pitiful. He opened the sandwich only to find one meatball per half sliced extremely thin with very little sauce even. I ordered a vegetarian that tasted like it was a frozen pizza from Costco at best. Don't waste your hard earned money at this so called restaurant. read more

I have ordered from the Rusty's in SB for years and have always loved it. However this location just lacks in every department. Their customer service is mediocre at best and the pizza was like cardboard. Not to mention there were 5 small pieces of chicken on the whole pizza...it was a CHICKEN pizza. Step it up, dominos is better than this location. WAY overpriced. read more

We stopped by Rusty's for dinner while on a road trip and it was THE BEST pizza!! Sadly they were out of Buffalo wings... we really wanted to try those! We've been talking about making a special road trip back here because it was so good. read more

My husband and I went to Rusty's Pizza for lunch today. We were extremely disappointed to where we won't be returning. Mind you I grew up in Carpinteria and visited Rusty's on a weekly basis. I also worked as a supervisor at one time in my life. The place smells horrible like dirty socks and urine. The salad bar had browned salad which we had to request fresh salad. The ice tea machine didn't have regular unsweetened tea which is all my husband drinks when out. Then our pizzas were so small. They use to fit the plate now they are much smaller than the plate served on. Same plate smaller pizza. But the worst part was the smell in the entire restaurant. Horrible just horrible. Not sure if Roger, Carol and Cindy Duncan own Rusty's anymore, but it definitely isn't up to par as a restaurant should be. Super disappointed. Looks like We will have to find pizza else where in Carp read more

Working in Carp and drove by this place a few times. Decided to stop today. Glad I did the service and pizza was very good. Will definitely come back again. read more

Simply the best. We've tried every pizza place in this town and NO ONE beats Rusty's. Period. Bye.

A Rusty's uninsured delivery driver hit my friend Jill. Now they will not respond to her or her insurance company. Is this the kind of business you want to support? read more

After a long hike along the Carpenteria Bluffs and beyond, we were too pooped to go out, so we ordered in from Rusty's. The pizza was delivered sooner than they had estimated and was just what we wanted. We ordered and got a meat pizza on thin crust. I can't remember what it was called but it had chirizo on it. Yum. The price was fair for what we got. I don't think you can go wrong. read more

In town for the night stopped by for some pizza damn their pizza is the bomb! Definitely coming back again.

Big shout to my man Jessie and whoever else was working late Friday night March 19th! This place blew my god damn mind. Pizza, wings and the bottle of wine were all 10/10, customer service was great. I didn't think I could eat more when I left and on my way out they handed me a pizza they made that someone canceled, which was the best thing my drunk ass could hear at that time, more pizza?? Hell yeah! Only reason it's 4 stars is all the tables had crumbs on them. Rustys Pizza Parlor in Carpentaria, eat here! read more

Marc n I stayed in Carpenteria overnight due to he worked Sat pouring concrete for a store their building. Obviously only food available is takeout with COVID19. Giving them a 4 rating because the pizza may have tasted differently had we'd been able to dine in and wasnt as hot when we arrived back to the hotel. We ordered the Rustys Special with bell peppers and no anchovies. We got the thin pizza rather than pan which may have also tasted different. It wasnt a bad pizza. It was tasty, just not what were use to closer to Riverside at Dukes, Aloha Pizza or 4th n Mill. We would order again under other circumstances if we return and order a pan pizza instead. read more

Terrible pizza not very clean and overpriced. Salad bar was the best part and even that was just ok.

5.50 for a bowl of salad and you can't go back after your done. I have never been to a salad bar you can't go back for more. WTF! And the salad bar ain't even worth $2. Glad I don't have to come back here. Pizza is okay but nothing special. If you are traveling through no reason to stop here. Continue on to Ventura. Much more to do and eat there. People are nicer too. By the way you can see how small the salad bowl is on the attached photo, SMALL! read more

Average overpriced pizza! Making money of off the people camping nearby, or on the beach for the day. I understand it's a small-ish business and support such businesses is important, but no need to be so ridiculous in their pricing. read more

Walked in and I ordered a medium thin crust pizza to go with black olives and green peppers & a coke. Total $19.82. Waited over 30 minutes. Walked about 3 blocks and it was still warm. The crust was tasty as sometimes a thin crust can be soggy. The pepper toppings were scarce and olives dominated the taste. Not sure if all locations are the same and maybe people flock here because there's few pizza options, but I've had great pizza that leaves you wanting more. Rusty's is a bit rusty with its presentation and overall pizza. read more

Bunch of fucken idiots, I'm always asking for extra Parmesan packets and always get extra PEPPER packets...

I've always liked Rusty's Pizza but when I picked up my Pizza today it was not cooked as I requested. The pizza was under cooked. I asked for a well done pizza. Next time I won't take it for granite. read more

If I could give less I would. I bought the (half) Rusty's sandwich and there was literally two pepperoni sized paper thin salami slices inside. Guess I got the bread and tomato sandwich, imagine if I bought a full sandwich!? Better off with a subway footlong for the price. I enjoyed the Rusty's in Santa Barbara after a concert at the bowl but they clearly are not the same. Pitiful. read more

Service was terrible ! Pizza was not what we expected! We ordered thick crust and Got thin ! Will never go back ! The only reason why we went was because they had Dine In won't do that again ! read more

We ordered from the Rusty's pizza in Carpinteria on two separate occasions for delivery. Our first time the delivery guy said that you must request Parmesan cheese and chili flakes when placing your order. He could not provide anything, including napkins. The second occasion, we ordered a Large Combo pizza. When asked if we wanted anchovies or bell peppers we chose bell peppers. What we received was a bell pepper ONLY pizza. I wish I had taken a photo. The saddest pizza I have ever seen. We will never order from them again. read more

My granddaughters (age 8) favorite pizza in SB. Good price point. Consistently good. If I can't have Marty's Pizza this is our go to

Excellent crust, sauce, toppings! Yum! Got deep dish very good! Got the bacon, pepperoni, jalepano !

This location does not serve potato wedges. I ordered my pizza well done, but when I received my pizza it wasn't even close. (It was undercooked even compared to a regular pizza NOT well done at the 3 other locations I've visited) I ordered medium wings and asked for the two containers of ranch they said I was allotted, (which still isn't enough considering how good their ranch is) but I only received one. When I asked for more ranch (holding a 5 dollar bill in my hand) I was handed an empty container without a lid and was told to go to the salad bar and serve it myself, even though I ordered my pizza to go. When I went back to the register to get a lid, I asked if I could pay for more ranch, and they didn't listen correctly and continued to tell me I was only allowed 2. (Still standing there with a 5 dollar bill in my hand) Also, there was a slice of pizza that had no sauce, cheese, or topping on more than half of it, but that didn't bother me, too much. It happens. I love Rusty's, the pizza still tasted great considering they use the same ingredients, but wasn't prepared properly. The restaurant itself was very clean and inviting. They just need more competent workers at the register. This was the first time a Bakersfield business was actually better than another location. read more

Two hours later NO pizza. They claimed they called and knocked on the door and that's impossible being I live in a commercial building that's is high security. I gave specific instructions to call when downstairs.... he "claimed he called and knocked" lies. They only returned $10 . 00 . Out of a 40$ pizza we never received. read more

Called in for an order and may I say the staff is the most unenthusiastic staff I have ever had the nerve of speaking with.. Really lol?? You guys sound like a bunch of emo teenagers.. It's okay if you hate your life but don't be so obvious about it at work!! Keep business and bullshit completely separated!! Put a fake smile and be happy we are paying you for your over priced pizza. read more

If you want pizza, go here. This place is better than PizzaMan Dan's. The service is above average at Rusty's, but the food here is better than PizzaMan Dan's. When a worker there spilled wine on a pizza, (The pizza was protected by a box) he said: "Oh No! the pizza will get drunk!" Which was funny. If you're in Carpinteria, GO HERE. read more
