Locally owned pizza franchise. If you want a real local experience, have them deliver some McConnell's Ice Cream (locally owned ice cream company, stealing their cow mascot is the traditional senior prank for Santa Barbara High School Students), with your pizza! Also good for late night food, which can be hard to find.
