We had the lunch special. The pizza crust was really good and the right amount of cheese with other toppings. Overall it was excellent pizza which did not feel too heavy nor make me bloated.

Absolutely unbelievably tasting gluten free and vegan cheese pizza that I've been able to find anywhere since starting a strict acid reflux detox diet (the regular version is stellar as well ;)!! I was served by the owner and I cannot say enough amazing things about this establishment. Thank you so much for being there and we look forward to visiting when we're back in the Fall!!! If you're gluten free and vegan, this pizza is a MUST!!!!

Milton was the best server I’ve ever had and friendly with great customer service. He was very inviting which made me want to get a full dinner

Great, tasty dough with some special flour from Italy. Guys are really nice too
We went to Cali Forno on a recommendation and we’re glad we did! The pizza was delicious and Milton did a fantastic job building our pizza!!🍕 🍕 We’d definitely go back!!

My son and I have been following Cali-Forno Pizzeria on TikTok for quite a while and always wanted to try it. I love the owner’s positivity and the uplifting messages he shares. We found ourselves in Santa Barbara today, so our first thought was to grab a large pepperoni pizza. The dough was perfect—light, crispy, with just the right amount of cheese. We also got their garlic cheese sticks, served with marinara and a side of ranch—such an excellent appetizer! My wife wanted a salad so we added two side salads, which were very affordable and tasted great and super fresh !! We were extremely happy with everything. My 11-year-old son gave it a 10 out of 10, and I do too. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming—big shout-out to Merlin and Mae for taking such good care of us. 10/10 service and 10/10 food all around! 🍕 Highly recommend!

My wife and I drove up from Temecula to celebrate Valentine’s weekend in Santa Barbara, and as a big-time pizza lover, Cali-Forno was at the top of my bucket list. It did NOT disappoint.
From the first bite, I knew this was something special. The flavor, the crust, the freshness — hands down some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. I even had the chance to meet the owner and his son, which made the experience that much better. Super genuine people. We caught him filming a Valentine’s TikTok while we were there — great vibes all around.
It was so good, I went back for lunch one day and dinner the next. And yes… I bought an extra pie to take back home and enjoy throughout the week.
If you’re in Santa Barbara and love pizza, this spot is a must. 🍕🔥

Greek salad and pepperoni pizza were great. Has a bit of a nostalgic vibe to it, it's great.

AMAZING PIZZA AND RANCH, came here a while ago and although it is a little pricey you do pay for the quality and taste of the food, amazing crust and great flavors I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place and I will definitely be coming back whenever I’m back in SB!!

Pizza is very good but the salad they give you for the price they charge is bullshit I never seen a salad so small like I'm talking like u just grab little hand full for a five year old small lol I was very disappointed
Pizza is amazing. Owners are amazing and friendly! Latino-owned.
And please leave your rude and inconsiderate comments out of here. If you disagree with opinions behave like an adult and take your business elsewhere.
