Stica

Every time it gets better and better. Everything we have had has been amazing. Today's menu for us was 4 different slices of pizza. While the Margherita is always our fav the other 3 were also sooo delicious. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. Service is always so lovely and great. And the restaurant is so cute with simple elegant details. Pizzas pictured: Chanterelle Margherita Scarpetta Montanara

What a fantastic addition to the Santa Ynez and valley food scene! I was just in Italy this summer eating this style of pizza and wondering why wasn’t this a thing back here! High quality ingredients on a nice crust warmed to order. What’s not to love? Add a fantastic array of salads and paninos and you have a fantastic quick and delicious place to grab a meal. They also have some pastas, sauces, and lasagnas to prep at home. Almost like I died and went to Italy!

A delightful lunch spot in the Nez. Approaching the exterior one is immediately struck by the distinct visual language of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, plenty of sun-blasted stucco and existential dust, as if Sergio Leone personally scowled at the façade. Step inside, however, and the mise-en-scène shifts jarringly into the rich hughes of Cinque Terre (The quaint Italian Coastal Village that inspired the film, Luca). It’s an ambitious tonal pivot for a restaurant, but it works. The food is good, too, in case you care about that sort of thing. The textures and flavors were fantastic!

The pizza is delicious, I got the sausage one and the salame one. I like how the pizza is not greasy at all and makes for a delicious light lunch or dinner. The crust is perfectly crisp and airy. The service was pretty quick and the girl serving was friendly and smiling.

Absolute must stop if you're visiting and a must return regularly if you're a local. The pizza is always phenomenal and the constant new flavors and varieties never miss. Apart from the pizza choices they offer some great tasting Italian sandwiches and salads with some fresh local ingredients.

Charming, hole-in-the-wall run by a very friendly coupl. Stica specializes in traditional Italian flatbread pizzas (available whole or by the slice), panino sandwiches, and fresh salads. Very decent wine selection as well, with an emphasis on local and Italian producers. I got the Scarpetta flatbread and a Kolsch; both were delicious! They just opened about a month ago and have made an excellent first impression! Looking forward to going back soon!

I got the prosciutto sandwich and margherita pizza which both tasted amazing with a nice crunch! Will definitely be coming back!

What a great addition to Santa Ynez. It only are the PZ Slices ‘can’t miss’ but the panini sando and salad options are something I now crave. Curated wine selection hits the mark.

From the creators of Nella and SY Kitchen, chef Luca has now opened a Roman style pizza and pasta shop. It's a small location but the pizza's are wonderful. You can even order heat and eat pizza to go. 10 min in the oven and you are eating like you are sitting in a piazza in Rome. The team is friendly and they also have pasta dishes that are in the freezer to go. Well worth checking it out!

My mom asked if I wanted to try some pizza from Stica. It was an easy question! When arrived early afternoon during the week. In a glass display, all of the pizza options available were on display which made it easier to come to a decision. I opted for a margherita flavor. Whilst waiting, my mom and I took a look around the store. They had various things for sale including ingredients and some food in the freezer. It happened to be a hot day so I ended up buying a small chocolate gelato to enjoy while I waited. It was the perfect size, sweet, and delicious! After a few short minutes, the food was ready to go. We brought it back to the apartment and dug in. Everything was delicious! The pizza had a crispy texture and a wonderful flavor. Definitely a finding that stands on its own in the Valley. Overall, I had a very good experience at Stica! My mom and I spotted this chicken ragu in the freezer that we want to go back to try at some point. Definitely recommend!

They are specialized in pizza and pasta. They are deliciously made and taken care of. The shop is super chill and cozy and beautifully decorated!

Stica came through again. I had a late class and was hungry, so I stopped in before driving to SB. The pizza was top-notch as always, and the roast beef salad had such a perfect blend of flavors that it completely hit the spot.

Great pizza! The crust was light and crispy but still had a good chew. I actually like it better than the crust at their other store, SY Kitchen. Maybe the double cooking process while reheated gives it a nice crispness, or it could be a less hydrated dough . We happened to stroll in an hour before closing, so we got our slices for $5. What a bargain for artisan pizza, and it's a big slice. I will definitely visit again while in the Santa Ynez Valley.

The pizza at Stica is just wonderful. Sicilian style pizza at its best. They use fresh local vegetables and ingredients. I have been to there restaurant SYR and it is great too. I wish I lived closer I would eat it all the time.. I also like the restaurant space. It is clean and comfortable there are some tables inside and seating on the porch outside (which is dog friendly). The service is friendly and easy. You order at the counter.They also have grab and go salads , fresh pasta, and whole lasagnas to take home. Yum!

Recommended by our favorite winery. Stopped in to have a small lunch before wine tasting. A little trouble finding the place but so glad we did. Had a slice of the Montanara pizza and a prosciutto & tomato panini. Both were so fresh and the pizza crust was perfect. The panini had the softest bread with a wonderful crust. So delicious and just right before hitting the wineries. We are in the SYV at least once a month and plan on returning here again and again!!

Excellent food and even better service! Cute pizza spot, kind of hidden but you won't want to miss it

This is hands down the best margherita pizza I have had in this area. The crust is crunchy and light at the same time but it's not a thin crust. Friendly staff and comfortable area!

A-mazing! Passing through town and stopped here for lunch at the suggestion of a friend. Wow!! Luca is so friendly & the place is adorable! We had the tomato & prosciutto sandwich and the margarita pizza!! Both were heated for serving. The bread and the pizza dough are soft and crunchy!! The sandwich was delicious the arugula was a nice touch. If I lived here I would definitely be in at least 3 times a week!! We will 100% be back!!

Great addition to the Valley lunch scene. Fresh pinsas excellent quality ingredients can't wait to return !

Delicious food and friendly, knowledgeable staff brought us back for lunch two days in a row!

We were craving pizza and found Stica here on Yelp. Since we wanted to stay away from the crowds in Solvang and because we enjoyed S.Y. Kitchen, we decided to give it a try. We found the pizza crust to be thin, crispy and delicious! The ham and cheese sandwich was also delicious, so five stars for Stica. The server who waited our table at S.Y. was working here as well, so great service too! We highly recommend and will return very soon. And for you veggie lovers, the Veggie pizza was amazing. My wife never orders veggie pizza but said the colors and atypical mix of vegetables called to her. I watched her devour every bite, which was fine until she came for some of my sandwich!

Excellent pizza - fresh, quality toppings and a buttery, crispy crust! They also have a good variety of healthy salads for our vegan friends, and homemade pastas. Very friendly owner and staff as well. We'll be back! (The name stands for St. Inez, CA)
