50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Laguna Beach

“Yooooooo... this is low key some of the best pizza I ever had. I knew it was good when they told me they literally dont carry ranch at all, not even for salad. It would be a disgrace to ruin this pizza with ranch. The crust, the crisp, and the sauce is unlike any other. Can't wait to eat it cold out of the box In the morning!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“I’ve ordered delivery several times and the guys are always nice. Tonight I stopped by to pick up take out and the guys were a delight! 🌟 The Manager hand delivered my order right to me, looked me right in the eye to greet me, ask how’s my night going. Just genuinely warm and welcoming! I so appreciate that!! 😄
And their pizzas are always great too. I’m usually gluten free and for some reason I can eat their regular wheat crust pizza and have zero reaction. I really appreciate this because: no pain and more pizza for less money🍕🏆“

“What a great place to have a meal! A beautuful restaurant with a lovely big patio, delicious food, homemade pasta's and excellent service! We had Lino and he was so personable and checked on us often. We highly recommend the whipped ricotta appetizer and all the food was delicious! We even tryied the Amaro and it was like a sweet desert wine, but great after dinner! Thank you!“

“Fast delivery & delicious food. Hot the spot!“

“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.“

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated. Michael took us to our table and was very kind and professional. Pedro came by with our bread and water and said hello. He is one of the hardest working individuals at the restaurant. Eddie our server came by and took our orders with a bottle of Austin Hope and bread to start. My wife ordered a chicken breast salad and I had the chef's special stroganoff which was amazing. Unfortunately my wife's salad came out 30 minutes after my stroganoff which was a cardinal sin in the restaurant business and we mentioned it was not acceptable. Eddie apologized and we also had Steven, the GM, come by and also apologize and ensure the salad would be out shortly. The salad was delivered, of course after I ate my entree and Steven dropped off and apologetic gift certificate for an appetizer during our next visit. We also ordered an additional beef stroganoff plus an order of meatballs to take home for tomorrow. We undertake things happen and it's certainly nice to see the restaurants busy again but a party of two receiving their entrees 30 minutes apart is not conducive with quality service. I am guessing the chef either misplaced the order or overlooked the obvious and we hope next time we will not have such issues as the restaurant is very good and in a fantastic location. Michael also came back around and stated he was concerned about this mishap and would look into this. As a retired government administrator and former restaurant manager in my college days I expect the simple things like entrees being delivered at the same time to be in sync with quality service and dining. We will be back and see if in fact this was an isolated incident. Good food and ambiance plus. As a writer for Trip Advisor, Yelp and Google I am graceful in my comments and specific in areas needed improvement. Thanks you.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“Staff was super friendly, service was quick, and the food was great. fresh large portions. highly recommended putting it in your dining rotation.“

“I can’t believe what I thought I was eating before was pizza! Such fresh ingredients, I felt I was eating direct from the garden. Even the plentiful cheese tasted super fresh. Make note that this excellent pie takes time to make. You can rush perfection. Be patient and have a beer on tap!“

“Great service, friendly and helpful. Great food, and on point“

“Well we visited Foothill Ranch Round Table, we carried out, last night, ordered pizzas it was great taste and your service staff was attentive who gave us a Beverage drink on the house! While we waited we had a 3 year old and 7 year old grandsons and me the Grandma and my son and wife! Amazing staff courteous and friend! Would recommend to anyone this Foothill pizza as well because of the honor to our Guadalupe Treaty to Mexico and staff also speak Spanish! Love the United States and my Mexican Nationality! Thank you for embracing diversity, which makes USA the greatest place to live for me! My mother was born in USA and my Dad in Mexico. We are all humans in this world! Thank you“

“Great restaurant with a small, family feel. The food is amazing, and honestly at a steal of a price; the food is half as expensive and more than twice as delicious as other restaurants I've been to. I had the quatrro formaggio because I noticed gorgonzola on the ingredients list, and I loved every single bite! It was so nice to have a dish that put the gorgonzola flavor front-and-center, and the cream sauce was somehow light while still being packed full of flavor.
My wife had the lasagna, and it's easy to see why it's a favorite here. It cem out with the sauce still bubbling, and once she could dig in she described it as lightly sweet, a welcome change from some overly-acidic dishes at some other places.
The service was also impeccable, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and we felt very well attended-to. We came in about an hour or so before closing so there weren't many other customers, and we got our food impressively quickly.
Another note, if you are staying at any of the nearby hotels (specifically the row of hotels on Lake Center Drive) then this restaurant is extremely close, easily walkable if you want. It would make a convenient, delicious, and good-valued addition to your vacation.“

“I really liked the paccheri al pistacchio my wife ordered, the flavors were very balanced and quite unique. However, being from Italy and spent all my life in Rome I did not enjoy the carbonara at all, it was grainy and had a smokey flavor similar to some other carbonara I’ve tried since moving to America. We’ll probably come back to try different food and the vibe, but I will not order the carbonara again.“

“altl the food is awesome!“

“This is my go to place 😁“

“Pizza is absolutely amazing , went 2 days in a row after a friend recommended. Friends and I got a 1/2 cheese,1/2 pepperoni large and it may be the best pizza I’ve ever had I had 4 slices. And these are very large slices . I was so Surprised by the flavor and richness in the sauce and well cooked NY style thin crust. It was an A+++ for myself and everyone that shared All around amazing pizza . Thank you, a must try ……“

“Bayshore Lounge is hands down one of my favorite restaurants! The location is fantastic, and the overall vibe and atmosphere are absolutely amazing. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy great food. They have the best kebabs I’ve ever had, hands down. Everything is packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The pita bread and hummus are equally incredible and some of the best I’ve tasted.“

“Wow!! Pizza Guys Pizza is a SOLID #1👍💯 We went in for a large cheese pizza and decided to add extra cheese olives and sausage - and then we tried the chicken wings and they were fabulous!! Pizza Guys Pizza is our go-to now🫡😋“

“Best Pizza in SoCal if you ask me.“

“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 ❤️“

“The BBQ chicken pizza is delicious & great delivery service!“

“This little quaint location off of del obispo and stonehill, dana point has been the best pizza i've tasted since living at orange county, bar none. The dough is cooked to perfection. The toppings are flavorful, and sometimes. (Rarely) i hear from customers that they get a cookie for free, courtesy of the owner.“

“Woohoo! This was an AWESOME meal! Service was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive! Our entire table only ate pizza or chicken pot pie! Everyone finished their plates!!! Yum! we did manage to squeeze in dessert and it was worth it!!! 10/10 will be back again. Shout-out to our amazing server Kaitlyn!!! 🤓♥️🥊🔥👊🏼🎉🐐🎄🎁I“

“Delicious food friendly staff best pizza and affogato I have ever had. Looking forward to the opening of the Ocean Ranch Restaurant!“

“delicious good place to eat“

“So, my partner and I have a couple of pizza spots we like to hit up, while in the area. The other popular one told us it was a 45-minute wait, while this spot was a much quicker 20 minute wait, big plus there! The customer service was solid; everyone was friendly and chill.
We were really craving New York-style pizza, but honestly, this place was okay, good not terrible but also not quite NY style. The wings, on the other hand, were a highlight: big, juicy, and the sauce was spicy enough to kick it up a notch. Overall, I’d definitely recommend the wings they did the job and then some. The pizza was decent, but the wings really stole the show for me.“

“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!!!“

“They have the best pizza and the best koshari ever“

“I sure do love how you can create your own pizza without costing so much for every topping that is needed in every pizza place I’ve gone through like everyone else Pizza Hut, Domino, Little Caesar, that’s getting to be ridiculous. Just created and enjoy it.“

“Dropped in since my hotel restaurant was closed and Holy smokes is this place a true Gem!!! I live in Seattle and travel for work coast to coast and honestly, this is one of the best pizzas I've ever had! Roman style true and through, not heavy on the cheese, but loaded with flavor and wood fired to perfection! Gents, I needed a quick fill, but found a staple that I'll make a point to visit every time I'm in SoCal now, yawl rock!“

“was recommended by a friend. Work for SCE, thought I'd buy the guys who I work with pizza today. So an extra large pepperoni and sausage. All the guys who had it raved about it, lots of good sausage and pepperoni's on it. good tasting crust, lots of cheese and best of all is the sauce which was excellent. All my friends got to check it out.“

“Great good!! Friendly employees!!“

“Exelente servicio y muy deliciosas pizzas 🍕“

“matt was the best great service“

“The food is outstanding, Most likely the dish you order can't be done better anywhere. The service is personal. The interior of this small restaurant (48 seats) is contemporary, simple and comfortable. It was over 100 degrees outside when we walked into this small space of which 50% is glass, tough too cool.“

“Finally came at a time where I could find parking so I waited for them to open. I ordered my nacho pizza and waited.

It smelled delicious when I got it. I took it to go. It's a very thin crust pizza with good flavor. Love the sweetness with a little bit of heat. It was good.“

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

“Wonderful family owned place! The most authentic Italian restaurant outside of Italy. At Il Farro food is prepared with attention and real LOVE. Everything from the appetizers to dessert were perfect. Every dish is made with true italian fresh and natural ingredients and is made by traditional recipes. The talented chef M. makes pastas and pizzas daily and they taste amazing. Also the house wine is a good selection. I suggest you to have their own valuable wine. Il Farro has a great management and staff too. We loved interacting with customers and guys who work in, they became like family for us. The qualified employees are friendly helpful and the restaurant is always clean. They do have enough seats and limited outdoor seating, but get a reservation in advance to make sure you have a place.Hands off, this is the best place to gather with friends or family! It has our ❤️s. We loved it.“

“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“

“I like this place. They sell pizza in two sizes, 10’ and 14’ and the pizza is good.
They are thin crust ( Gluten Free is available), large slices with a crunchy crispy crust. The sauce is not my favorite and the cheese is likely a blend but sticks to slices fairly well. I cannot taste any basil in the sauce but there is oregano for sure, not sure about parsley, kind of hard to get it right with only one reheated slice but I would vouch for their quality being that the slice I ate was a reheat and it I still tasted as if it had just came out the first time. The menu is great for a pizza store and Bar, including individual and shareable dishes. The bar is capable of hosting 9-10 people and they have a side section with a table for another 3. It is spacious in here and has a legit ambiance. The music they are playing is top hits spanning many generations and decades. It is pumping but not too loud to make it hard to talk or hear. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you want to try a beer on tap before you commit, just ask and they will accommodate. I found their Beer on Tap selection to be fairly comprehensive including everything from Hazy IPA’s to Modelo, to Coor’s Light. Their Hazy IPA is easy to drink and feels like a light beer but with full punch.
Trying their Bar Sampler now and will be back to try their other things. I have tried many places here in Mission Viejo since 1985 when we moved here and I feel like this place should get a chance from everyone. It is kind of hidden but if you live around here, you like to have pizza and beer or a calzone, salad, etc. while you watch sports, this is a good spot. The bar tender was awesome and that goes a long way with me!“

“The best pizza in Orange County. I found them during COVID and was a client since then. I was devastated when they closed after fire, and continued ordering from them since they reopened. I live in Irvine, but I do not mind such a long drive, it’s worth it.“
