“The customer service is why I will be eating here regularly. My drink was never empty and if it got close they were on it. My food was great just needed a dash of salt. I really liked that they seem to know their customers and care about what's going on in their lives. They even insisted I take a Togo cup. Good people and good vibes.“
“This is one of three pizzerias where this NY pizza snob will order a pie and enjoy it! It's always baked perfectly with the thin, bubbly crust and just the right amount of sauce & topping. There's even great pizza for people who would ruin one with pineapple! Best hand-tossed pizza in Goleta/ Isla Vista. It went straight to my NY style pizza loving heart...“
“A bit out of the way from downtown SB, but worth it. We headed out to try the "breakfast burger" during Burger Week. It was pretty small but tasty. Props for creativity. Service was very friendly and prompt. Casual vibe -- we sat on the outdoor patio w our dogs, and appreciate that they're dog-friendly.“
“We went to try the burger special, Paddy Daddy. The burger itself was good, but the corned beef on it was pretty tough & chewy. Loved the slaw & homemade pickles were awesome. Buffalo cauliflower was also very good. Loved the quirkiness of the decor & the mismatch of S&P shakers. Definitely will come again to try the pizza & other menu items.“
“Wow! What a fantastic deal! I had my first Fatte's Pizza and was blown away by the quality and the amount of ingredients on my sticky fingers, pizza.Yes you can get delivery, and you still get two for one. The two medium sticky finger pizzas were a lot of food! We also got a small side salad and it was crisp and had a good price point.I feel bad for not trying them before , ..Hint: ask for extra cheese or parmesan on the side.Definitely our new go to delivery!“
“I visited SB for medical reasons and wanted pizza one night. I tried Taffy's based on reviews and was not disappointed. I'm not a fan of 80%bread and 20% toppings, so the reversal was a treat. Thinner normal hand-tossed bread with a TON of meat & toppings. So good, you will not be disappointed“
“Had the quail and a friend had the chicken piccata. Carpaccio was well seasoned and tender. Quail was tasty and more filling than expected.Good food, atmosphere, and friendly waitstaff.A little expensive for 2 main courses, 2 glasses of wine and 1 appetizer.Plenty of seats during early dinner time 6pm on a Monday. Quiet and not much background noise. A little warm for the day. Thermostat was left above 70FRecommended since there are not a lot of good Italian places in Goleta.“

“I've been going to Valentino's for my entire life! It's one of my favorite places. I almost always get a turkey sub, but everything they make is delicious. The flavors are always consistent, they're quick, and the team is always lovely.“
“I love a pizza place with a range of size options! It worked really well for our family of 4 to get three pizzas, in 8", 10", and 12" - nobody had to compromise their desired topping combos! We had plenty for dinner for two adults and two teens, with a few slices leftover for lunch. Another way to customize is with crust thickness - we got two with regular crust and one thin crust. I got the veggie Hawaiian, which was packed with toppings. So easy to call and order, was at the peak dinnertime and the order was ready in about 45 minutes. Get a side of the homemade ranch; you won't be sorry! Eat in also available at a handful of tables and a nice little bookshelf to pass the time. Conveniently located in the Mesa next to Blenders in the Grass, a short walk from Vons and Lazy Acres if you need to combine your errands.“
“this is some of the best pizza i've ever had! it's perfectly cheesy and doughy. the ambiance is great as well. very accommodating for large groups and they have arcade games for the kids. the owner is super friendly and so is the staff. i will definitely be back anytime i'm in the area!“
“Marcos thank you for your amazing hospitality and great recommendations on food items ! The atmosphere was amazing my family and Friends had a great time! Uptown lounge looks at its best and I will be bringing new people to visit!! Thank you Uptown “
“All they had was pizza slices - which were good! But not sure if they recently stopped with the larger variety of food.Edit - Owner reached out and said they are dealing with permitting and construction projects. They expect to have a full menu again come Summer '24. There was no information about this anywhere so hopefully this saves someone a trip.“
“Got delivery at the hotel we were staying at.... pepperoni pizza came super fast....hot and crispy......I also had forgotten to order salads on the original order and I called to ask to cancel the order so I could create a new one but they helped me add the salads and made it easy..... super super nice staff.“
“It's like Chipotle, but for pizza! My 10yo granddaughter loved getting to pick her own toppings! The place was quiet and clean, and made for a nice family outing on a weeknight.Kid-friendliness: Nice place ti share a pizza with a child, bc they love the choices, AND they had organic milk and juice boxes, as an alternate to soda and adult beverages.“
“trevor has demonstrated above and beyond customer service. our pizza was a lil bit raw and he made it right! he offered us a whole new pizza on the house but we only needed it baked for a few minutes minutes, and he made it happen! also our beer pitcher was at the very end of the keg and he gave us a free pint to sip on while we waited for the bubbles to settle on our pitcher so it could be filled up. truly the textbook definition of fantastic customer service. thank you trevor! he is absolutely the best and deserves a raise. mr woodstock, please consider my review when promoting people. trev trev (the boy trevor) is the best server ive ever had, during my years of being served at woodstock. i will never go to pmh again.“
