Rozzi Pizza — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

Went here opening day with high expectations My wife being from New York, we are always looking for the real deal. Rozzi is basically a window at the front of the kitchen in between Rodeo Room and Bar Seven. I have a feeling Rozzi Pizza is associated with one or both bars, but when I asked, the guy that appeared to be the owner of Rodeo Room he wouldn't elaborate. There is some seating outside on the street, not sure if they will allow you to take pizza into the bar(s) in the future. There was a decent line and most of the ordering is done at a small kiosk by the front door, but the super nice gentleman making the pies (Rozzi?) was taking orders at the counter while making the pizzas. Given so much staff around, didn't seem very efficient. Nice selection of NY themed 18" pizzas and pizza by the slice(!) No option to split pizza 50/50 on the kiosk, but you could do so if you ordered at the counter. Online ordering I heard will come later. Pizza was ready in ~30min, which wasn't bad considering the activity. I grabbed a cocktail next door while I waited and was specifically told (by the same owner guy?) I could not bring it to Rozzi while I waited. No complaints.

Most importantly, the pizza: my wife an I split a pepperoni pie. Most everything was spot on and we were very pleased! Fresh, simple sauce, the right amounts of quality cheese and pepperoni such that all was balanced. Crust was wonderfully crisp, chewy and yeasty, however, it needed to be about half the thickness. It had a really nice body that would hold up to being thinner, but because it was on the thicker side, was a bit overly chewy for our taste and actually difficult, if not impossible to fold. I understand first day growing pains and will no doubt return, but do thin that...

Rozzi Pizza is everything you want in a casual, no-frills pizza spot—quick, delicious, and authentic. It’s a walk-up window right next to Bar 7, and yes, you can bring your drink over while you grab a slice or a whole pie. The owner’s from New York, and it shows—thin, crispy crust, gooey cheese, and that perfect foldable slice that’s hard to find on the West Coast. They’ve got something for everyone too, with snacks and fresh salads alongside the pizza. Whether you’re bar-hopping, grabbing a late-night bite, or just in the mood for a solid slice, Rozzi hits the spot every time. A must-visit if...

After a full 24 hours of travelling we needed a quick bite to eat before getting some rest. Decided on Rozzi pizza and so glad we did. We had a friendly welcome straight away. Chose our pizza and paid. Whilst waiting we mentioned how nice other flavours sounded on the menu. The owner then offered to do our pizza a half and half so we could try it. He didnt charge us the extra, and he threw in a delicious homemade cookie too! So friendly and welcoming. Made our first experience of Santa Barbara a positive one. Thank you for...
