Amazingly good pizza with a healthy flare.
If you have yet to try Pizza Fusion, located in the Trader Joe shopping center in San Luis Obispo, you are about to add a new favorite pizza place to your list. Everything from the lights in the building to the way the pizza is cooked and delivered to you has Mother Earth in mind. Too touchy-feely for you? Well the pizza rocks!
The Digs:
Pizza Fusion
3971 S Higuera Street
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
The Scoop:
Fantastic gourmet pizzas from the Trader Joes/Food 4 Less shopping center on South Higuera in San Luis Obispo. All ingredients are fresh, organic, and earth friendly.
What Rocks:
So much rocks. The pizza is fantastic. The staff is ultra friendly and have a great attitude. Even the delivery boxes are cool. From the Bruschetta pizza to the Founder’s Pie, I have tried a half dozen different pizzas from their gourmet selection and they have all been fantastic.
What Sucks:
It’s hard to complain about anything here. It ‘s all so good. If anything the pizza could be called slightly expensive but keep in mind its all fresh and organic and like no other pizza in town. Like every other SLO restaurant they run coupons so keep an eye out for the discounts and go enjoy.
The Moolah:
Most pizzas are about $18-20 for the large. Salads range $9-12.
A great place for lunch and watch the happenings at the San Luis Obispo Airport
Spirit of San Luis Restaurant has been in business for over 20 years and it’s a great place to stop in for lunch and enjoy the planes at the San Luis Obispo Airport taking off and landing.
The Digs:
Spirit of San Luis
925 Airport Drive
San Luis Obispo CA, 93401
The Scoop:
A lot of the meals are humorously named after airplane terms or history such as the Kitty Hawk, The Mile High Club, and the Wright Cheeseburger. If the weather is nice, sit outside on the patio. It’s a great time watching the happenings at the San Luis Obispo Airport. There is a whole world going on out there that people rarely stop to pay attention to.
What Rocks:
All the food is great. I have been there many times and on this occasion enjoyed the Chicken Cordon Blue Sandwich. Try the Mile High Club Sandwich or if you are into salads, the Cobb Salad. You won’t be disappointed. They have a full bar and a very nice beer and wine selection.
What Sucks:
Since the restaurant has been there so long, it is becoming a bit dated. It could desperately use some remodeling but my suggestion is don’t pay so much attention to the décor and watch all the fun activity going on at the airport.
The Moolah:
It is not an inexpensive lunch but not terribly priced for what you get. Most lunch fares range from $9-13. Dinner is around $11-25. They have a full bar and a very nice beer selection.
