Patricio's Pizza

Patricio's Pizza makes homemade, family-style pizza in Orcutt and has been serving the Santa Maria Valley for 46 years. Its dough is made fresh daily and never frozen, and reviewers single out the crisp crust and generous slices. The menu also includes wings, and the Meatza, with its meats layered under the cheese, is a favorite among regulars.

You can order pizza online for pickup or delivery, or call to place an order. The restaurant handles larger groups, and one recent party of twenty was seated in the main hall with the kitchen adding off-menu appetizers. Expect a casual, lively room rather than a formal dining experience.
