Love this place! Hidden in the hills with a charming old Western vibe—feels like a secret spot in the wild, wild west . Fast, friendly service from a great group of young workers. Fresh-made everything! The meat lover’s pizza was so good, I had 2 slices (no guilt ), and the salad? Gone in seconds. Great coffee too—fresh and bold . Patio is cute, peaceful & dog-friendly! ????????

They were pretty busy even at 3 in the afternoon, but counter service was solid. After they bring your food, they aren't coming back. The pizza is amazing. We got pepperoni and spicy sausage and the toppings were super fresh. Only downside is it can be greasy. We used many napkins so if you were planning on wiping on your pants think again. Restraunt is cozy and was good for our date and from the look large friend groups and parties. I definitely will come again.

Place has very good pizza, great craft beer selection, and decent wine selection. You order beer and food at counter and they deliver to your table. My spouse and I shared salad and small puzza. Salad was very good. Unfortunately, this time bartender was not as friendly as other times. She was efficient, and got our drinks quickly, but never saw a smile or helpful opinions on beers. We have been many times before, where servers were "happuer". The place was busy, which may have caused more stress.

Have been coming here for years and hands down best pizza in California. Crust is crispy and thin. Ingredients are fresh and top quality. The garlic knots are stupid addictive and can get you hooked. Strongly recommend you give them a try. You pay for quality and you get it from the service to the food.

One of my favorite spots! Family friendly or enjoy all the adults at the bar. I love the salads, appetizers, and pizza. The regular crust is great and there is also gluten friendly crust. They have a great selection of local craft beer and wine as well.

We came here with some friends who are regulars, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The pizza was fantastic with a crispy crust, great sauce, and perfectly cooked. But what really blew us away were the garlic knots and especially the goat cheese marinara… seriously next level! You can tell everything is made fresh and with care. If you’re anywhere nearby, definitely stop in for an authentic American pizzeria experience. Great food, laid-back vibe, and friendly service, Wise Guy’s doesn’t miss
