I often try new pizza places while traveling and Woodstock’s got the order. Interesting crust that has a little sauce inside, looks like they folded the crust over something, which was really good. Nice chew on the crust but not too chewy. Their sauce was tasty and portioned appropriately, pepperoni had a small kick, and topped with a good amount of cheese. I like crusty pizza, but if you don’t like a lot of crust, this might not be the pizza for you. Uber eats delivered pizza so no comment on the restaurant.

We were spending the day wandering the coastline and after a little googling we found Woodstock pizza. I have to say I'm glad we found this place. The atmosphere was on point, it feels like you are at a classic corner pizza place. The pizza is a style that I haven't seen before. It has a thinner crust but they fold it over on the edge to give you something to grab onto, in my opinion it's the best of both worlds. The pizza is also made with quality ingredients, as I sit on the couch and eat my cold left over pizza I can say it is as good as the first day. So I suggest ordering enough for lunch the next day. I didn't catch their names but the crew that was working on 12/23/2023 around 7pm did an excellent job, they were friendly and kept checking on us, they also did a good job staying busy while paying attention to the customers. We will definitely stop in again when we are in the area.

Preston, the manager was Awesome! The whole crew there too! Someone took and drank my friend's beer and without hesitation he gave my friend a new one, beer that is. More then generous and a Great leader! We Love Woodstocks that much more! Thanks Mr Preston, you deserve a huge raise! Cheers! PS Foward to Board Members/ Shareholders/ Owners

We used Woodstock for a wedding day lunch and were so happy we chose them. The staff was so kind and caring, the delivery was punctual and professional and the food was yummy. Woodstock is a great pizza spot and takes care of their customers!

Food was excellent. They just didn't have an single slices available, so we had to order a whole pizza. They also had delicious flavored soda.

I went here last week to get a pizza with my daughter at UCSB. The young man who took our order was truly an outstanding guy. He said his name was Max and he was friendly, kind, and overall a great employee. He gave my daughter recommendations for Isla Vista and college studying. I hope he’s working when I come back.

when we went to school at UCSB (this was more than 20 years ago) this was the best pizza in IV, the hang out spot, even the hard pressed foodies who give harsher reviews loved this place, they also have a location in downtown SB as well. great pizza, coupled with even better service.
