National Cheese Pizza Day with Santa Barbara Hive

It’s National Cheese Pizza Day, and what better way to celebrate than by highlighting a local favorite that knows how to make a pie worth remembering? Santa Barbara Hives may be known for their incredible honey, sourdough bread, and bakery items, but their wood-fired pizzas are just as unforgettable—especially their simple yet perfect cheese pizza. Crafted with organic sourdough crust, bubbling mozzarella, and just the right amount of char (thanks to an 800 degree oven), it’s the kind of comfort food that can stand on its own or shine as part of a celebration.

What makes Santa Barbara Hives extra special is that they’re not just a bakery or pizza shop—they’re also seasoned wedding and event caterers. Couples looking to add a casual yet elevated touch to their reception can wow guests with rustic, wood-fired pizzas served fresh on-site. While gourmet toppings are always an option, there’s something timeless about the classic cheese pizza that keeps everyone coming back for another slice.

So today, as we honor National Cheese Pizza Day, we’re tipping our hats to Santa Barbara Hives—a place where sourdough, community, and celebration come together. Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding or a lively reception, their catering menu proves that great pizza belongs at every party.
