50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Laguna Beach

“I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Italy, and this is one of the few places where the pizza truly deserves to be called PIZZA!

The dough is perfect — light and airy with beautiful bubbles, and the balance between the crust and toppings is just right. It never gets soggy, and the crust isn’t too thick. What I especially love is that every pizza on the menu has its own distinct flavor and character. They don’t all taste like variations of the same thing.

I’ve tried pretty much every highly recommended pizza place in Orange County, including several featured in the Michelin Guide. But after trying them all, this pizzeria is still my favorite!“

“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!“

“Pizza was good as always, can’t go wrong with dominos. Our driver Igor was the best. I left a good tip on the order, but tried to give him a bigger tip after order was completed. Unfortunately there is no way to do that, so instead I’m leaving a review. Give that man a raise!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Piatti! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was packed with authentic Italian taste, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommend Piatti for a delicious meal and outstanding service. Five stars all the way!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“butter and cream pizza is such a cute local spot and definitely one you need to check out! i love that they use all organic ingredients and are seed oil free, which makes enjoying the food even better. the burrata pepperoni and honey pizza was so good, with the perfect combination of creamy burrata, savory pepperoni, and sweet honey. their ranches are also amazing and pair so well with the pizza. they have such a wide selection of cookies for every sweet tooth, and the dirty sodas are so refreshing, especially in this heat. definitely recommend stopping by, trying a little bit of everything, and supporting this local small business!
shoutout to abbie (i might be spelling it wrong) for being so kind and welcoming!! the owner Natalie is extremely talented and hardworking i can’t wait to come back for more!!
🌟IT IS GRAB & GO NOT A SIT DOWN PLACE🌟“

“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 ❤️“

“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“

“honestly we were just craving italian and this place popped up. the moment we walked in it smelled so good i knew we were in for something special.

i got the lasagna and it was exactly what i wanted, super cheesy and hearty. my friend had the chicken parm and she said it was perfect even the pasta on the side was cooked right. the service was super friendly too our waiter was patient when we took forever to decide.

we sat outside and it was chill even on a busy night. the whole meal felt like a cozy sunday dinner at someones home.

already trying to figure out when i can go back and try the tiramisu.“

“This place is AMAZING! Pizza and wings are so good and their service is better than any other pizza place in Dana Point . The man who took my order was so funny and helpful and delivery was fast and easy! They went above and beyond for me and helped me get my pizza on time even on a day as busy as 4th of July! Shout out to you guys at Flippin Pizza! Definitely will be back :)“

“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 good place to eat“

“matt was the best great service“

“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 ……“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Great good!! Friendly employees!!“

“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.“

“Tried this pizza spot with my family last weekend and it ended up being a really good choice. The pizza came out hot with plenty of toppings and a nice crispy crust. I ordered a pepperoni pie while my wife got a veggie pizza, and both were fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and checked on us a couple times without being pushy. It did take a few extra minutes for our order to arrive, but honestly it was worth the wait. The place had a relaxed atmosphere and felt welcoming. I'd definitely come back again when I'm craving pizza.“

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

“Best Pizza in SoCal if you ask me.“

“Il Dolce never disappoints. Every single bite is delicious, and the team behind it is just as great as the food — warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. Fernanda has built something special on Harbor and 19th. Go hungry.“

“La comida es buenísima, atención de calidad, ambiente hermoso!“

“Food was really great, flavorful, decently priced, accommodations were decently comfortable and clean, and the owner was attentive and really cares about his customers. There’s a lot of Mediterranean food that is good here in Lake Forest, but for a medium fast speed spot, this is one I would visit again.“

“Best pizza I have ever had! The crust was absolutely delicious and had the best crunch, the dough wasn’t doughy at all and was so, so delicious. You can tell they’re using very high quality, fresh ingredients and the flavor profiles he built for these pizzas are so good! The wowie sauce added even more flavor and somehow made a perfect pizza even better!
The ordering process may be slightly unconventional but it is EXTREMELY SIMPLE. You’re literally given step by step instructions on how to order and it couldn’t be easier.
My Mom picked up our order and couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful her experience was and how much she enjoyed the owner.
Super stoked we found this place and absolutely can’t wait to go back!“

“Fantastic place Great food and atmosphere“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“We were visiting from Scotland, having previously lived in NYC for many years, and were desperate for a nice Italian meal like we used to get when we lived in the States. We could not have been more impressed with the food and the service, and made sure we got a second visit in before we returned to Scotland - I just wish we could have gone back a third time… and fourth !!!! Highly recommend !!!“

“Today was our first time ordering take out.
Absolutely impressed ! This has to be one of the top pizzas and wings we have had!
We ordered a classic cheese pizza , a half and half - combo & chicken tika, the pick your 4 flavor wings- hot, bbq, tandoori.

We were blown away !
The tandoori wings are sooo delicious.
Everything was delicious truly.
We will be ordering again“

“There are multiple businesses in this small neighborhood center. It would be hard to describe them all. They include food eateries, automotive shops, dance studio, marital arts studio, nail salon, etc. Parking does get fairly full on weekends due to the sports bar pizza place.“

“altl the food is awesome!“

“Yummy best by far in town“
