Gino's Sicilian Express

Small little place. The pizza was surprisingly really good for Santa Barbara. Came out of the oven super hot. It was pretty greasy but I'd give this the award for the best pizza in Santa Barbara by far. Crust was crunchy but not too crunchy. The cheese was very good, same with the sauce. I'd highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a slice. I only got one but I'll definitely be back for a whole pie in the near future!

Good dough and very cheesy.

Not bad. Finally a good flop, and it’s a fresh cheese pizza, but could have been hotter. I’m starting to think my ratings are a little harsh, but I can’t think of a better rating for “good pizza” then a round 6. Cheese is good, sauce is good. It doesn’t wow me, but it’s a good pizza to take along for the road.

Good pizza. Stop in for a slice at lunch or a panini combo (the capicola is the way to go) anytime. For this review I went with a whole pie, gold standard cheese. Gorgeous bubbly crust, with good char. The crust has great flavor and a nice chew, while also being crispy on the bottom and at the edges. The sauce is bright with just the right amount of tang. The pie is topped with a salty mozzarella and just a little oregano. Did I mention this is good pizza? No regrets with this classic, made-by-hand, thin pizza pie.
