I wanna start this review off by saying that this place was a huge part of my childhood growing up in Santa Barbara. Back in the 90s when Greg owned it I would go to taffy's Pizza for my birthday every year. When you went to taffy's, the atmosphere was A+. The place had this unique vibe to it that you couldn't get anywhere else. The lighting inside of Taffys almost look like you were at someone's house. we went there every year for my birthday. After my teen years, we moved away. When I returned to taffy's after the new ownership had bought the place my first time there I was super disappointed in the overall aesthetics of the place. When you go in there now it looks like there is zero effort to maintain the classic feel that you got from Taffys. There's literally one guy that works there the whole time and he's usually watching something on his phone , instead of actually addressing any of the issues in the place when you went to taffy's pizza you had everything. Great food, great atmosphere and a great game room. If you go on there now all the games are broke. It literally looks like a storage facility it's dirty. It's got cobwebs everywhere . If Casey bought this and just thought it would take care of itself because of his tradition he's greatly wrong. I have never seen him or his wife in the restaurant. I have looked at reviews and I noticed that none of them have answered or addressed. Doesnt surprise me. so I know this might go unnoticed. But I wish taffy was still owned by Greg O'Brien. my daughter just turned 13 and we took her to taffy's to start the tradition over. I thought that things might've changed. But guess what? Same one guy that's there every time that barley understands you. Same broke down video arcade. Same wires hanging through the roof trying to connect to a TV somewhere. I was super disappointed . I don't know if you just invested in this and it started losing money so you lost interest in this Gem but if that's the case, sell it back to the owner who made that place a place that you wanted to be at all the time. it breaks my heart to leave a two star review on a place that was such a huge part of my life. I hope that you get this place together and the next time that I come through, you have made some kind of adjustments to it. Taffys over Rustys FOREVER though

Excellent food , very generous portions and friendly, attentive service. Will go there any time I am in the area.

Went to pick up pizzas and ended up drinking some gigantic beers out on the patio while a kids birthday party wound down. Pizza is only slightly above average, but you have to love this gem tucked away on upper de la vina for the vibe inside. Pizza places should be somewhere you want to go to and this place checks that box for sure.

We were staying at a local hotel for the night and decided to head here for some food. It was delicious. Pizza selection really good, tastes amazing and fresh to order. Staff were super friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

We often come here for delicious veggie pizza & fresh chef salad. The place is clean, there's indoor & outdoor sitting.

Absolutely delicious pizza. The marinara sauce is super fresh and the dough is thin and crispy, yet soft! For about 40 bucks we were able to get a pretty large pizza and breadsticks so reasonably priced. Customer service was great so definitely

Came into town for an appointment. Decided to try this place. I ordered a calzone and garlic bread. I've been throwing up and sitting in the bathroom all night.
