Farm Star Pizza

Fresh local ingredients... Delicious. Local music some days. Friendly staff.

Delicious pizza, cozy environment, live music, and an awesome beer and wine selection. What's not to love?! Oh and you can draw on the table with chalk while you're waiting for your order :) Be sure to give yourself plenty of time if you're dining in...they tend to get pretty busy at peak times. Highly recommend Farm Star; it is a gem of Chico. PS the gluten free crust is incredible!

Atmosphere is good, if you have kids they can draw on the tables with provided chalk as well. But, while the pizza was good, it was $9 for a personal (about the size of a small paper plate). It is more so one of those places that you go to because it is the only restaurant near your school. Good, but not preferred.

When Farm Star is "on" this is some of the best pizza I've ever had hands down! Great interesting toppings that pair really well, nice crispy crust with good flavor. Some of my favorite pies to order are nanny goat and pilgrim but really they are all great and you can't go wrong. Oh and the sweet heat salad is not to be missed either. They also often have a small selection of quality craft beers on draft.

Areas for improvement:
Occasionally, he crust can be soggy in the middle of the pizza. I'm not sure if they are trying to pump out pizzas too fast but it would be great if they could bump up their quality control to prevent this. Its definitely more common on veggie heavy pizzas which give up a lot of liquid in the oven.

Lastly, over the past couple years they have been pushing hard to schedule music in the restaurant. I feel like this is a stretch and ends up decreasing the quality of the experience. The acoustics are terrible in the restaurant and it ends up being impossible to even walk through the restaurant as it is really not that big of a space. If they had a different layout perhaps it could be better but my advice would be to avoid the nights they have music unless that is really what you are going for.

Good pizza. I had the North Pizza, good stuff. Good quality of dough, doesn't taste like cardboard!!!! Service was great, bathrooms were clean. I will return.
