Torricella Pizzeria - San Luis Obispo

Located in the main building of the SLO Public Market, Humble Oven serves pizzas, pastas made from scratch, salads, and other specialties. We were in the mood for a good meatball sandwich. Since our regular go-to option has closed, we headed over to the SLO Public Market complex to try Humble Oven.Ordering was easy and quick. The personnel were very cordial and friendly, and the food was quite good. Our order of an Italian Meatball Sub and a Meatball Classic pasta was ready within 10 minutes.Their Italian Meatball Sub consists of four pork beef meatballs, lemon ricotta, calabrian chili, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, topped with fresh basil on a French hoagie roll. The Meatball Classic pasta has three meatballs, pomodoro sauce, ricotta cheese, and housemade rigatoni pasta. On many of their offerings, one may customize their selection with additional choices of protein and/or veggies. Both of our selections were very flavorful, and we enjoyed them. One should know their tomato sauce is rather spicy, and the Meatball Sub seemed to have just a bit more warming heat, probably from the addition of calabrian chilis. The sauce on both seemed very similar.The price point is similar to an establishment offering table service. Considering all their food is packaged to go , and one eats with plastic utensils and paper towels as napkins, it is expensive. They have a small counter to eat at, or one may sit in the main hall or outside at the courtyard tables.They use only the finest ingredients imported from Italy. The food was delightfully delicious.

Good food and nice staff! We had caesar salad and pesto pizza and we would love to come back again.

Some of the most friendly staff ever and incredible Italian food!!! 11/10 would strongly recommend!!!! This is my new go-to Italian restaurant!!! Shoutout to the staff working evening of Nov 13th!

The best pizza I've had in the longest time. Quality ingredients. Neapolitan style. The pizza oven is very interesting. Very large oven and it has a turntable in the middle. Makes for a crispy crust. The oven plays a big part in creating a delicious pizza. I had the pizza diabla. Just perfect. Provecho. There's nice seating upstairs.

Warm and welcoming environment. The food is delicious. We come back week after week to enjoy some amazing pizza!!! we feel like we are a part of the Humble Oven Family ????
