"Made to order wood-fired pizza from a penny covered building in the Funk Zone. Take your 'za to go, or enjoy it at one of their outdoor back patio tables. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they’ve got you covered all day long for fast, fresh, and tasty food. I recommend the Lucky Penny Classic - made with the very flavorful san marzano marinara, salami, mozzarella, fresh oregano, and chili flakes." - Amanda Proudfit

Where To Eat Outside In Santa Barbara

"You’re staring at the glorious structure that is The Lark, and suddenly you notice something in the corner of the parking lot that resembles an upscale construction trailer. Welcome to Lucky Penny, The Lark’s casual, all-day sibling that’s a fantastic lunch option when you’re too wine-drunk to walk anywhere else. Most people sitting outside at this order-at-the-counter spot are eating pizza, but don’t ignore the sandwiches either - they’re just as good." - brant cox

"The offerings here are blessedly simple: Excellent, wood-fired pizza (interesting flavor combinations, plus all the classics), a smattering of meatball-based sandwiches, plus a handful of well-conceived salads (shaved kale, based arugula). In short, this is exactly the sort of food you want to plow into with a big group of friends, or after an overly raucous night out. They have kid-friendly option as well, and offer takeout. "

Great and unique take on wood fired pizza, fantastic outdoor patio and friendly staff. Bright flavors and some unique ingredients combinations made this a super memorable stop for lunch, we got the salty surfer and the street corn and loved them both! A highly recommended stop for any pizza enthusiast!

Pretty casual. You order at a window and sit in their patio area. It's actually pretty quaint. They have few but great beer choices, from what i saw their menu had house pizzas to choose from (didnt see where you could create your own) and so far I've had their Margarita and Pepperoni pizzas and they haven't disappointed me at all! Their pizzas is nothing like the commercialized pizzas- their dough is perfect, Ingredients were fresh, I mean it's darn near perfect! Must check this place out!

This is the best pizza place I've ever been to. The pizza's dough tastes so fresh and has a bunch of flavor. I love the flat sheets of thin Parmesan on top because it has great flavor. Definitely would recommend going here if you love wood fired pizza!!!

The seating area is really nice because of the flowers, decor, and cleanliness. The bathroom is shared with The Lark next door. I really appreciate it when businesses supply self-serve water cups. I ordered the Margherita and Californian pizzas. The crust is really thin and crispy and has a nice smokey taste from the oven. I personally think the sauce on the Margherita was a bit too tart. The Californian was super interesting and had a unique flavor I've never tried before. The pesto and pine nuts were really tasty, but the lemon ricotta was pretty overpowering. Otherwise, both dishes were pretty tasty. We ordered 2 pizzas for 4 people (each pizza has 6 slices).

Nice European styled pizza - according to a friend from Europe.. The gluten free option tastes great! We were five people and shared two pizza: one with mushroom and hazelnut & the other with pineapple.. both surprisingly good and the vibe also nice!

We came here with our 10 months old baby. Ordered pizzas and a few beers, and while waiting for the order started to prepare baby food and his milk. We got told off by the waitress that they do not allow outside food or drinks and they don’t care if the food and the milk are for the baby! This place deserves to be shut down for the lack of respect to some basic human rights! We essentially got kicked out for trying to feed our baby who is not old enough to eat pizza. What a shame! Very disappointing to hear your reply. The matter has very little to do with warming up the baby food, but rather making us leave with the baby and his food in an incredibly nasty way. We were not offered to stay or even an apology. You welcome dogs but discriminate against little kids. Likely we didn’t get to take your food. Can only imagine how bad it has to taste with such rude staff and management!

On our short weekend visit to Santa Barbara we got hit by heavy rain. Then came Sunday and sun showed up. We started on our journey of sampling food, wine and beer. The best of the best was Lucky penny Californian pizza. I have not had a pizza for many years. Do not care about it. But this pizza was a delight to all your senses. It taste good, smell good and it look so delicious and pretty. The good thing you can order it and have in any of others brewery, winery or distillery. Give them a visit.

The pizza was amazing! A great finish to the day. We ordered the strawberry lemonade, as well, which complemented the pizza perfectly. The arugula and strawberry salad was also stellar. And what really tied the meal together was ambiance of the outdoor dining. Definitely one of the best in Santa Barbara!
