Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be anything new under the sun in the world of pizza, Santa Barbara has an addition to the local menu with a truly inspired idea: at the new(ish)\u00a0PizzaRev<\/a> in Paseo Nuevo<\/a>, each pizza, no matter how many ingredients are selected, costs $8.25.<\/p>\n

That’s right, no more agonizing over pepperoni vs. pepperoncini, or sweet fennel sausage\u00a0vs. sun-dried tomatoes. Have them all, the only extras you’re charged for gluten-free dough or vegan cheese.<\/p>\n

Not only that, we’ve been a few times and PizzaRev is quick and tasty. Perfect for a before or after movie bite, PizzaRev features a distinctive “Craft Your Own” pizza assembly process and Roman-style thin and crispy pizza.<\/p>\n

Start\u00a0by selecting your\u00a0crust selection\u00a0(original or gluten-free), then choose from four signature sauces, including a savory organic red sauce, a creamy white alfredo, plain olive oil and a spicy-sweet BBQ. Then, each personally-sized\u00a0pizza\u00a0is topped\u00a0with favorite selections from an array of all-natural cheeses and 30+ fresh artisanal ingredients, ranging from traditional favorites to more unusual\u00a0selections\u2014they even have vegan sausage! Plus, they only take three minutes to flame fire each pizza. Pretty impressive.<\/p>\n

Salads are also available, and don’t forget to try the Dessert Pizza, a decadent treat made with Oreo crust!<\/p>\n

Interesting factoid:\u00a0PizzaRev founders and longtime entertainment industry executives Irv Zuckerman <\/a>and Rodney Eckerman were co-CEOs of Clear Channel Entertainment, and booked the likes of U2, RollingStones and The Who in their heyday. Rodney’s son, Nicholas, pitched the idea of “build your own” pizza after recognizing the void in the fast casual industry. His culinary and customer service background with Ritz hotels helped fuel the PizzaRev product. It was Irv and Rodney’s business sense that brought the concept to life\u2014they opened the first three\u00a0locations in the LA area in less than seven\u00a0months.<\/p>\n

PizzaRev is located in Paseo Nuevo at 12 W. De La Guerra St. (right next to the movie theater). For more information, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
