10 Best Pizza Restaurants in Laguna Niguel

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I am a challenging customer because I have been the food service profession for decades. I can look at an item and tell you if it came from SYSCO, US Foods, Restaurant Depot, or some other popular source…and my familiarity can adversely impact my dining experiences. I tend to be hypercritical of both the front & back of a restaurant (kitchen staff & servers) and this skepticism is magnified when I feel the need to be catered to. Yes…I’m that guy.

I have returned to Mangia Bene every time I need to impress someone or simply feel the need for great food and service that makes me feel catered to…even spoiled. They do not disappoint and Reggie manages the establishment with a watchful eye and hires very well. You can tell his staff enjoys working here and they value the patron. It’s a tightly run ship decorated with crystal, linen and amazing food that stuns the eye and pleases the taste buds. The bartenders are above average as well. They can make anything and everything and you can have it your way! A slightly dirty martini with enough olives you can call it a low-cal salad? No problem. We have never been served a bad drink here. Martinis come to you with ice crystals floating…not melted like “some places” who do not know better.

After a particularly brutal day, my wife & I needed a date night. We chose Mangia Bene and tried some new dishes. The appetizers were fabulous and generous…so much so we went straight to dessert afterwards because that was all we had room for. But we still ordered entrees to take home cuz great Italian food for breakfast is a wonderful thing! (New Yorkers are smiling as they read this).

If you are a tough customer…if you scrutinize things like the crystal stemware, the house wine selections, expect the perfect port wine served in a proper snifter, holding a quality steak knife and other fine touches that mean something, if you know when your server is providing the ideal level of service (not stopping to check on you too often or disappearing for too long) and seek a dining experience in elegant and comfortable surroundings, then do yourself a favor and go visit Mangia Bene on a day when you need to be treated right…or have a client you need to delight. Go ahead…book your table with absolute confidence. I have been dining here for decades and never once had a negative experience. Of course, unlike the 1-star review people I am not using DoorDash or complaining about the restaurant being packed because it is so popular. There’s an excellent reason for this. At Mangia Bene…they set the customer service bar so high…other restauranteurs need to charter a plane just to see it.“

“This restaurant has quickly become one of my top picks! The food is exceptional—each dish is crafted with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. Their drink menu is equally impressive, offering a delightful selection at reasonable prices.​ The staff and new owner are warm and attentive, always ready to offer recommendations and ensure a pleasant dining experience. Adding to the charm, they feature live music that perfectly complements the atmosphere—ideal for both lively dancing and relaxed listening.​ Whether you're looking for a casual night out or a special celebration, this place is a must-visit.“

“The rennovated patio is perfect for nice dining experience. The food was delicious. The singer for the night was quite entertaining singing songs from Tony Orlando, Neil Diamond, Jimmy Buffet, Jim Croce to name a few and ended his set with Elvis songs, white suit and all.“

“Hello blaze team good morning, I never write reviews but yesterday I stopped by with my son and the young gentleman taking my order was just so sweet and helpful definitely made our evening better with his kind curiosity. Such a positive young man. I wish I got his name but he was the one with the big piercing in his nose lol. Will definitely be going back. Food was 10/10.“

“I love their pizza and the pear/gorgonzola salad. It is expensive though. Does anyone know how to a promo code, for a discount?“

“We did the kids birthday party package where my daughter and 13 of her friends got to make their own pizzas and go on a tour of the kitchen. The price was incredible for what you get!! $15 per child and they get their own drinks, pizzas, and sundaes. We received so many compliments by our guests about how cute and fun it was! We also ordered a catering package for the adults and family to eat (5 pizzas, a huge bbq chicken salad, and a big spinach dip and chips). All the food was great! We brought our own desserts which was totally fine and nice that we still got to do a birthday cake. Our server Tori was fantastic! She was really attentive and quick. At the end every child received a free kids meals ticket to come back. Such a cool touch! Thank you CPK LN for making our little one’s birthday a day to remember!“

“Domino's is a quality maintained, very well managed restaurant/food outlet. I actually personally knew the regional quality control manager and trainer, and learned about the detail processes they follow.
The menu innovation is also very good. And the pricing model and promotions are right on the spot.
Since they introduced the thin crust, we all became a grater fan and made Domino's the goto place for pizza nights, quick gatherings, big BD parties etc. Not consuming too much bread and the carbs, and also the crispness of the think crust pizza is really great. The topping are always fresh. Due to the Corporate quality control you get the same good quality at every location - big plus, will not disappoint you.
The taste is always good, Nice tasty sauce, good quality mozzarella cheese, good toppings.
We livecthe Philly pizza, very nice combination of sliced beef and onion and green peppers on a crispy pie, wonderful.
The reason for my 4 star Food rating is that I think they can reduce the sodium, salt level across the board, the dough, the sauce and the toppings and since all these are good quality you will not lose the taste.
I hope he management reads these reviews. I don't know, may be offer a low salt option on the menu for a while and check out the market traction, 😀“
