50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Dana Point

“The Pizza Crust here is superb! Thicky, chewy, and crusty on the outside. Service was also great. Very attentive and were accommodating for both our 3 month old and two small dogs.“

“Im a NYer and finding good pizza on the west coast is a challenge, but aPizza makes east coast style pizza that is thin crusted, crispy and delicious. Great service by friendly staff.“

“This pizza was the best in town that we have tried since our fave joint closed. We got a Hawaiian no onion. For the price, it could use a little more pineapple and bacon but we will ask for that next time. They have great specials and we will be back!“

“I am from Texas and staying at the INN across the street. my son and I loved it. Can definitely taste its homemade. The service was excellent and we definitely had leftovers to take with us.“

“Awesome food and great service. You must check it out.“

“Best pizza in San Clemente Dana point capo beach! Good pasta pizza etc!!!“

“I was immensely grateful to step into a stunning restaurant that exuded elegance, with an impeccable standard of service provided by the professional waitstaff. The warm welcome from the owner at Homeslice Dana Point was truly heartwarming, setting the tone for a memorable evening. As I perused the menu, I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the exquisite cuisine. Every bite felt like a culinary journey through Europe, and the ambiance was akin to a cozy evening abroad, with fellow diners basking in the joy of a Saturday night well spent.Thank you .Fahim Fazli“

“12/7/22. In town for a seminar and this restaurant was recommended. Excellent pizza and excellent price. I'll return Friday and grab lunch again on my way home to San Diego!“

“This is the perfect neighborhood pizza place! I love that they cater to gluten-free and vegan diets with their cheeseless Vegana pizza. Although they don’t offer vegan cheese, they allow you to bring your own. The gluten-free crust is the best I've had. The owner is very accommodating, and the staff is wonderful. Highly recommend!“

“We loooove Lunita's! This ain't your average mediocre pie. It's artisinal. From the crispy yet chewy crust to the sauce and the selection of unique combos (my personal favorite is the Sexy Roni), every bite of a Lunita's pie is simply delicious. Oh, and we got the Caesar salad last time, which was also really good-- elevated and super fresh.

They've also got great t-shirts. And regarding the text to order concept, I think it's fun and refreshing -- it's right to the point and simple to do.“

“Ummm, is pizza supposed to be this good? Is this what I’ve been missing my entire life?

This is not a “really good pizza” this is a FANTASTIC pizza. We got the first timer. Potato edges out pepperoni in my opinion but both are mind boggling good and for the life of me I don’t know why. Thin pizza, amazing sauce, complimentary toppings, charred crispy crust = YUM. I will be eating here again. Daughter says this needs to be the pizza place for her birthday.

Owner is a one-man show and very friendly. He clearly knows what he is doing.

Cookies are a bonus and are really quite good. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but I do appreciate a nice oatmeal raisin cookie now and again. This one was definitely not a standard cookie. Texture was perfect. Crispy edges, soft chewy center and great flavor. A little sweet for my tastes but that’s probably just me. This is not a crumbl sickly sweet disgusting cookie by any measure. It’s a great cookie. I’m just not a sugar fiend. My daughter thought the chocolate and caramel cookie was amazing. I took a nibble. It was good but you can guess my complaint. She did not complain :D

Here’s what you might be surprised by: Limited hours/days. Know before you go.

Takeout only.

One size only. Topping choices are more than enough for me, but they probably don’t have exotic and unnatural toppings like canned pineapple.

Order ahead on their website.

No bold signage. Trust the gps. You won’t think you are in the right spot.

No paper menus, no branded pizza box…this place feels like a hidden secret and they are just getting started but…they are established and this is their vibe. It’s all about the pizza folks.

Interior is filled with lego sets put together by the kiddos. Kinda cute and my kiddo enjoyed seeing them up close.

Did you read this far? You’re clearly not listening. Go order the damn pizza 😛“

“Just ate here today for the first time and the pizza was amazing!! I ordered the bbq chicken and my friend got pepperoni. The crust was insanely delicious and crispy! Cheese to toppings ratio was on point! The mozzarella cheese sticks were also very good! And to top it all off, the customer service was 💯!! Highly recommend!!“

“Amazing venue, Great beers and pizza! A must do if you are in the area!“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast. Manager thanked the veterans and gave us a handshake and a flag. He even had a table set for the missing soldiers , sailors, and Marines. Happy that everyone in restaurant was having a great time. Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas“

“We tried your pizza tonight and we love it!! Three different pizzas and they were all perfect. We will definitely be ordering from here again ❤️“

“Hands down one of the best pizza locations in Orange County. I have tried pizza everywhere, but nothing beats the freshness and ingredients that are used here in Bella Roma. You can tell that the owner carefully sources all of his ingredients and products to give us the best tasting pizzas, salads, and pastas! Thank you Bella Roma, I will be coming more frequently.

“Amazing pizza and atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back again!“

“Sal’s is a class A establishment. I messed up my order (grandma pie with breadcrumb and onion + sausage pinwheel and cannoli + black and white cookies) I ordered for pick up when it should have been delivery. The owner delivered the order himself. The grandma pie was on point and the sausage pinwheel was right! Waiting to taste the desert but im sure it will be great. Thank you Sal’s“

“Clean and fast with plenty of out door seating. By from some of the best pizza I’ve had. If we’re ever in Laguna again I’ll be sure to stop!“

“The dough is the perfect balance of sweetness and bite. Perfectly flaky and crisp on the crust and base of the pizza with the perfect soft and chewy texture of the middle of the dough. The sauce is the perfect combo of sweet with bit of acidity of the tomatoes. Plus the pizza isn’t drenched in oil on the base. Don’t just try the place for the pizza itself, ask about the history!“

“Great place. Love the Beatles atmosphere. Great music playing.“

“Simply a convenient Center which has pretty much everything...restaurant choices, a place to buy clothes, shoes & things to decorate you home! Theatre, bookstore, electronic and cell phone stores! Oh, and Automotive choices for home mechanics!“

“Adamantium Steel Band!! Great Music!!🎉🎉🎉“

“Granted, it’s been 17 yrs since I lived in Laguna Niguel but the fact I am writing this review should tell you all you need to know. This place was THE PLACE our friends and my wife and I would take our kids after every sporting event. The kids had a blast playing games while the adults enjoyed a cold beer or glass of wine. Then, THE PIZZA!! Ballpark’s pizza is OUTSTANDING. EXCELLENT crust, sauce, and toppings. Nothing is skimped and EVERYONE was happy. I have visited on my occasional visit back to LN (if I’m within 60 miles of Laguna I WILL go to Ballpark Pizza)!

Anyone reading a negative review on here about Ballpark, PLEASE remember that there are people in the world that live to complain. There is NO pleasing them and these people are also the ones that expect the world if any mistake is made. We have all seen these people in action. Look at the OVERWHELMING responses of nearly all. Focus on these as this is what you’ll get at Ballpark Pizza!!“

“Good zaaa! I was hungry and in the neighborhood so I checked it out. Got to know Nicole the manager she was super bomb bomb bomb and told me where to go so I got it. Thanks again Tulik’s Floor Coverings.“

“The works or vegie pizza would be even better if the green peppers & onions were minced and not sliced large. Veggies aren't cooked enough if at all. The pizza lacks that extra flavor. Everything else about Selmas is awesome, the service, location, friendly atmosphere.“

“I was originally planning to leave a 3.5 or 4-star review for Blaze Pizza, but something happened that encouraged me to change it to 5 stars. The quality of the pizzas was good for the price, although a part of the crust was slightly overcooked, and a bit more attention during baking would have helped. Still, overall, I’d say the quality was solid considering the price point.

In my order, I had included a Caesar salad, which I realized was missing when I got home. I called the restaurant to let them know, and after checking my email later, I saw they had refunded part of the cost. This level of customer service truly impressed me and convinced me to add that extra star.“

“great food!!!! reasonable pricing!!! please experience their food!! nice people fast service!! love this place!!!“

“The breakfast at Z pizza is surprising great. The food is very healthy, presented beautifully. It’s a unique experience. And the coffee is very good“

“Great food! Great service! Awesome people! Love it!“

“Excellent service. Great pizza and pasta.“

“Always a great time at Santora’s!!! Fantastic bartenders and friendly customers!!! Perfect place to catch the game!👍👍“

“everything we ordered was good.. I recommend the bbq rib tips (honey bbq).“

“This is a great place for a couple of quick and delicious cheese pizza slices. They have small “Specials” with two slices and a coke / drink for about ten dollars. You can eat there or take it to go. Typically lots of different toppings to choose from. Small business with friendly staff. Easy to park too. A good find. Enjoy :)“

“First time ordering from Porky's Pizza. And...Wow!! Excellent!! One of the very best pizzas we've had in Orange County since moving from New York! Crust is fabulous and pizza topping outstanding! Will be ordering many more pizzas from Porky's. Would highly recommend.Also, very clean and friendly service. Five-plus stars for sure!!!“

“New Yorkers here...

Best Meatballs (by far)
Best Lasagna (by far)
Best Pinwheels
Best Mozzarella and Ricotta
Pretty good overall on pasta dishes we've tried
Best calzones (though expensive and recently under-filled)

Nice they have pizza by the slice, overall very good NY style pizza. The crust is very decent, but not the best available in the area (again, for NY style). Pretty sure they still use Polly-O Ricotta and import their mozzarella, which makes a big difference.

Highly recommend along specifics above!“

“Best pizza I’ve had since moving to CA from NY. Amazing food, great atmosphere and impeccable service. My go to place!“

“Food was fabulous, the Rock of Ages Band was fabulous, and our waiter, Zach, was fabulous. Such a wonderful night out.“

“I just picked up my curbside groceries. The lettuce and spinach was fresh and beautiful. My peppers, tomatoes etc looked fresher than the market. I bought flour and yeast which is so difficult to find and eggs and milk. I will definitely order again. I would very highly recommend them. Thank you for providing this service!“

“Delicious Chicago style and thin crust pizza. Their chicken wings were great too! They even had live entertainment outside. I will definitely come back again.“

“They have wristband tech. for wine/beer.“

“I’ll start with the little negative. Low interaction with the staff, they’ll take your order and walk away and move on, however, I understand that it’s a busy spot and they have to be moving quick so overall not a big deal. Now for the pizza! Great pizza, it will take a minute but well worth, the godfather was a meat lover style pizza and it was delicious. This is a spot that you can take a date to, get pizza to go, get a drink at the store next door, and walk like 1 minute to the beach and have a nice picnic at sunset. Amazing location and great pizzas. Will be coming back often“

“Pizza is Great! Loved the fast Service.“

“My only complaint is that the personal pizza was so delicious that I highly regretted not getting an entire medium pepperoni pizza all to myself, which I will be doing soon!

Quality flavor, texture and ingredients. Thank you!!“

“Tasty, delicious food every time. They are consistent. I especially like their house salad with ranch dressing, free pizza bread, garlic bread, chicken parmigiana pasta with meat sauce. These are my faves here. I love their pizza too.“

“Excellent experience! Excellent food! Excellent service! Fantastic little owner owned/operated Northern Italian cuisine restaurant. We will return!“

“Always have had a great experience here, and I have going here for over 40 years!!!“

“Yummy best by far in town“
