There is a new kid in town, and I am talking about Revolver Pizza. I had heard about this place from a few people and had to try it this weekend. It might be the best pizza in Santa Barbara!
Revolver Pizza is not your typical full-service pizza shop. They only offer four kinds of pizza and two salad options. And you aren’t going to be dropping in, spur of the moment, to pick up a pizza. You have to call a few hours in advance to order the pizza- no 30 minute turnaround here!
And I have heard sometimes no one answers or they tell you – “sorry we are sold out for the day!” I am not sure if the limitation is pizza oven space or ingredients, but either way you have to plan ahead. (or maybe they are creating artificial scarcity??) In some ways, it makes it a bit more special when you “win” the pizza lottery.
We got margherita and pepperoni pizzas, as well as both salads; it was the perfect amount for four people. Everything was delicious – the dough was pretty thin but sturdy enough that you could lift it to your mouth without it falling apart. The sauce was plentiful and just the right level of spicy. They advertise themselves as New York pizza but I have to disagree. To me, NY pizza is super thin crust and more on the greasy side… which I quite enjoy!
There are several good pizza places in Santa Barbara but this is a really good addition.
Note from Amy: Are they better than Lucky Penny?? Because that’s my Santa Barbara favorite!
