Pizza Garden

Rude, careless staff. The owner doesn’t seem to care, and just let’s his staff treat you as they please. They made a mistake and he seemed to prefer losing our business rather than fixing it for us. We try to eat at locally owned restaurants, but it’s discouraging when there are places owned by people like this.

We stayed at Lompoc during our visit to Santa Barbara and were craving for some solid food for dinner. Then we found this place!
Food is greasy for the most part. You may say, isn’t it the case with all pizza places? Veggie pizza was good with a lot of toppings. Cheese pizza was good but really greasy. Service is ok.
There is a little gaming arcade in the corner. Not a lot but, good enough to keep the kids busy for sometime.
Plenty of parking available.

Summary: Great local pizza joint ran by rude liars!
First couple times we were extremely impressed by both the pizza and the service. Thought the pizza was a little high but support a local owner and the quality of service definitely won us over.
On our last attempt (2:00 pm on Nov 27, 2015), the on duty manager was rude and acted super busy. However, there were only 2 customers in the store and someone else was making all of the food.
When we asked to either have the game we were watching turned up or switched to the tv with the sound blasting, the manager lied about his ability to change the station and volume. Previous managers have done so on multiple occasions and just last week.
Unfortunately, the owner has no way contacting me, but I plan to NEVER go back unless that manager either apologizes or is fired. Disappointed in having to sacrifice good pizza on principle and severely disappointed in the lack of integrity and leadership ability this manager brings to this business.
Want great pizza, consider call ahead take out. Want a great place to eat, better overall atmosphere and experience at McD’s.

This place is great. This is the best pizza we have had in a long time. My wife is very picky on pizza places. She loved loved the veggie pizza. So good. Her words.
I had pepperoni and sausage. Wow. It was very humid and hot in Lompoc, very strange, they did not have their a/​c on. Only complaint. But other than that, amazing place.
Keep it up. We will be back next time in town.
Pls the girls working are so so cute and hot.
Thanks again.

This is our go to restaurant for pizza and games. I love that they give free sides when you order a medium or large pizza. The salad bar has a wide selection of fresh goodies to dress up your salad to your liking. However I don’t think I’ll order the lunch special again. I ordered a slice and a soda and added a trip to the salad bar. Like I said the salad bar is great but the selection of pizza wasn’t great. We had to request a non meat pizza and when it came out it was basically just bell peppers. Yuck. I ended up with cheese instead. Also, the difference between the sizes of slices was huge! Some were large and some were tiny. I definitely would have felt cheated to be left with nothing but tiny slices.
I will definitely keep coming back to this restaurant and order whole pizzas instead!

This place has the best desert pizza I’ve ever tried. The apple and cherry pizzas are particularly excellent! The pizzas also have really good crust and the salads are fresh and tasty! Give them a try and you won’t be disappointed. They deliver too…

My family and I have been ordering pizza from this place since they have been open and its great tasting pizza. The best in town I would say. However, the last two recent times we ordered we noticed a huge change on the amount of toppings. They put way less than they use to and today when I ordered I explained that we felt they were putting less and less and if they could put what they use to put. The owner Larry stated they had already measured the amount of toppings and kept cutting me off when i was trying to tell him that it seemed his prices were going up (which if you have to you have to) but that they were barely putting toppings. Our pizza was delivered and to our disappointment it barely had toppings especially bell pepper. I called again and he kept cutting me off (i wasn’t being rude, but as a long term paying costumer was expressing my concern). I was being professional about it but he kept cutting me off every time I started to talk and was not professional on his part. This is not the first time I have been treated this way. Unfortunately he said it is what it is and if we want more toppings we have to pay extra. I wasn’t asking for more, just the amount they use to do for years. Im just disappointed how the owner handled it and the changes they made by putting less but charging more. This is something many locals and long time costumers have noticed. We hope they pay more attention because we really do love their pizzas.

We had Larry’s Hawaiian, an extra large pepperoni, bread sticks and bbq wings last night. Yet again perfectly cooked, topped and delivered promptly to our door. We fed five very hungry people and had left overs for snacks today, nom-​nom! Thank you pizza garden staff!

This pizza was just plain disgusting! The pizza was cold, sauce was plain and flavorless, and the worst part was the grease it soaked through the box literally! Bottom line I’ll never eat here again!

This is my favorite pizza spot in town. After carefully trying to differentiate the other places compared to this place… this is the best! The buffet is on point guys. You won’t be disappointed.

This review is for beer and customer service as we did not try pizza. They have firestone on tap. We were from out of town and worked late one night. We just wanted some beer and we ended up closing the place down. They did not rush us or tell us to leave. We really appreciated that. We stayed next door at embassy suites so it was an easy walk. Thanks pizza garden for helping us wind down a long night!

I came in on a Saturday night and two teenagers were running the show. They are supposed to close at midnight on Saturdays but they decided to close up shop at around 10.

This review is for delivery. Definitely one of our fav pizza spots in town. The regular garlic breadsticks were SO good; I wish I had ordered more. We got 2 med pizzas, the breadsticks, and an order of bbq wings. The wings don’t have any bbq flavor at all, confused as to why they call them that. Unfortunately tonight pizzas were SLIGHTLY undercooked. I paid for extra cilantro for my bbq chicken pizza and at first I didn’t think it was even on there but then I found it. Under the cheese… kinda strange. It’s usually on top. These are just minor criticisms though; this place is great and we enjoy eating the food. We usually order online for delivery and it works perfect every time.

This is an amazing pizza joint! Their pizza and staff are both top notch. They just added on and my husband and I love it. It is much more spacious and there are tons of televisions so we (he) is able to watch several games at the same time. The owner is also very generous. He is always donating to local groups.

I love the new add-​on! New games for the kids, tons of TV’s to watch any sports game you want! To top it off, the owner and his son are some of the nicest people on earth! Their employees are amazing and the bottom line, the pizza is SO GOOD!

Let me start by saying the restaurant is clean. I came here for there buffet, and this is what they had… The picture speaks for there variety. I should have ordered a slice of pizza since that’s all they had…

Great pizza! Super friendly staff! Specially the owner! We forgot our wallet at wanted us to eat and then come back and pay! Super sweet of course I couldn’t too that but he offered and that shows he cares about his costumes! My favorite is veggie pizza! Yummy and they upgraded their space so it’s new and big!

How am I supposed to eat the salad with no fork? Like a savage animal? To go orders need utensils.

Let me begin by saying I have worked at Disneyland and Nordstom, so I’m a stickler for customer service. So I was looking for a place to watch the Angels/​Royals playoff game tonight because I don’t have cable (crazy, I know, but true). The Unilocal reviews for this place were good and they said they have a lot of TVs so I thought, «Perfect.» I was a little concerned about some of the reviews which commented on the number of «Reserved» tables, but I figured, «What are the odds of that being a problem on a Thursday night?» Of course I was wrong. When I got there, I saw two nice, big screen TVs that were showing the Packers/​Vikings game (which I also wanted to see) and the Tigers/​Orioles game. Of course, that’s where I wanted to sit, but I couldn’t, because all the tables were reserved. Empty, but reserved. So I was directed to a section at the other end of the restaurant. There was a big TV over on that side of the restaurant, but I really wanted to watch two games at once, so I was not happy. That turned out to be the least of my concerns. What really ticked me off was I asked the girl who took my order (very cute blonde with a sleeve of tattoos on her right arm) to turn one of the TVs to the Angels game, and she said she couldn’t do it. Fine. I understand. Sometimes the management controls that. So when the manager (I assume he was the manager, as he was telling everyone what to do) walks up, I ask him if he could change one of the TVs to the Angels game. He motions towards the TV that has the Tigers game on it and says, «It’s right there.» I said, «That’s the Tigers game.» He said, «It’ll be on right after that game.» Now, as a baseball fan, I know that that’s not how they do it; there is never a time when you can’t see the game you want. They don’t stay on one game until it’s over and then go to the other game that has already started (and they don’t hold up the second game until the first game is over) And, looking at my watch, it was after 6:07, so I knew the Angels game had already started. So I told him, «It’s past 6:07. The game started already.» Then he said something like, «6:25 game time.» Well I knew that was wrong, so I pulled up the box score on
and showed him that it was the top of the first inning and the Royals had a runner on base so, obviously, the game had started already. But he was way too busy with the four customers in the restaurant, so he didn’t even bother to look at what I was trying to show him, and he just said,“It’s on TBS. That’s TBS (referring to the Tigers game). It’ll be on after that game is over.” Again, I knew that wasn’t right, but I didn’t know what station the Angels game was on, so I couldn’t tell him what channel to turn it to. So I tried to use logic with him. I said, «What if that game goes into extra innings for the next two hours? You’re telling me they’re not going to show the Angels game?» He just said (rather rudely), «Hey, I didn’t come up with their system (or words to that effect)!» At that point, I was pretty pissed, because the ONLY reason I went there was to watch the Angels game, and this customer service-​hating jerk wasn’t letting me. So I sat down and ate my salad and did a quick internet search on my phone and discovered the Angels game was on TNT. At this point he brought my pizza over, and I said, «The Angels game is on TNT.» But he just ignored me. He was too busy with the now five customers in the restaurant. Plus HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT GIVING GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE! By then, I had already decided to get a to-​go box for my pizza, and when I went up to the counter and asked the cute blonde for one, he (who was standing right next to her) gave me a styrofoam box instead of a pizza box. OMG! But by then, I was done with him, so I just put my pizza in the styrofoam box and left. The pizza was okay, but overpriced ($ 10 for a personal pizza, salad bar and soda). Anyway, the bottom line is, don’t go here to watch sports because you probably can’t sit near the game you want to watch (if they even have it on), and the pizza isnt worth it. But if the blonde is working and you happen to be driving by, go ahead and stop in and say hi to her and leave. For her, I give two stars instead of one.

Stopped in for a beer and to grab some food to take back to our hotel.
They had a few good beer options on tap.
We ordered a medium pizza, cheesy bread, and a Caesar salad. Salad was huge, and very good. Pizza and cheesy bread were good too.
Service was awesome! The guy working the counter was super friendly and helpful.
