Love this restaurant! ? Amazing food, especially the bread & Butter and their pizzas are amazing! Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Be prepared to wait for a table but totally worth the wait. We come here often with friends & colleagues and it’s always a great experience.

Too much dough is used for the pizza. Too much crust on the edges of pizza that is not edible and burned. Very little tomato paste used. Very little inside seating. Long wait times for seating. Parking at the Camp is IMPOSSIBLE. TOO FEW SPACES. Won't go back.Parking: Park blocks away since Camp parking lot is totally inadequate for the restaurant and shops there.

I went to this pizza place and there was a man and his pet rat in front of me in line, and OMG OMG OMG OMG they took forever to order. I know this isn’t the establishments fault but they really need to tell some customers to hurry up when ordering. I swear to the lord this rat was taking a whole millennia to order their meal, and was doing the gritty all over the restaurant. As the line kept getting longer and longer and longer and longer and longer and longer and longer and longer and longer and longer the customers started getting mad at ME for not telling the people in-front of me to hurry up. At this point I’d had enough of these people, so I told them they didn’t have all day to order. Then the dad gave me the most fierce stare into my eyes and said “ I CAN TAKE AS LONG AS I WANT, AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME TO ORDER FASTER.” I was too scared to say anything back to the man because at this point he looked like he was going to eat my soul. On the other hand the rat starting foaming from their mouth like a rabid dog, and bitting at my feet. So I ran as fast as I can from the two, but then they started to chase me. The rat was the faster of the two, so they caught up to me and I had to fight them off. They started to bite my feet again (I have rabies now?) but I was able to hit the rat with a left hook to their jaw which scared them off, “Now it’s just me and you” I said to the man, as he approached me. He answered “HOW DARE YOU HIT MY RAT LIKE THAT YOU MONSTER.” The man proceeded to charge at me at full speed but I managed to dodge the original attack, but he isn’t a quitter so he came back. But he wasn’t expecting me to use my ONE FOR ALL quirk and I Detroit smashed him to oblivion. I have to say this was craziest experience I’ve ever had a pizza restaurant.

Being from New Jersey, living up to those expectations from a Pizza perspective isn’t easy. However, now I know why Folk Pizza has a line before they open. From the ingredients to the calibration of the ovens is completely on point. It’s worth the trip. You won’t regret it.

My DENTIST of all people raved about this place so I had to try it. Came in with my daughter on a Tuesday at 4:00pm (when they open), and there was already a line of 8 people ahead of us. Luckily the line moved fast and I was able to place my order to go.I ordered a straight pepperoni and asked them to add the fennel sausage. Grabbed the meatballs and ordered a chopped salad.While I was waiting, I had a local pilsner.I remember flying home because the smell in the car was so good. When we unpack, we find they gave us the bread and butter in addition. OMG OMG OMG OMG this pizza is some of the absolute best I've ever had. The sourdough crust is airy, has great chew, and beautiful leopard spots. I could go on but it'd be 10 pages.Pizza: 10/10Salad: 10/10Meatballs: 10/10Bread&Butter: 10/10We will be back with a vengeance!

Never coming back here. We ordered two pizzas and they messed it up and gave our order to the table next to us. Well, I understand that there could be mix-ups but what followed was not acceptable.The servers went and profusely apologized to the table that got our pizzas and kept checking on them, but they didn’t say anything to us until we asked what was going on (because we can clearly see that our pizza was given to the table next to us). The server didn’t say anything but told us that just wait little longer because our pizza was coming.Another 10 minutes go by (we were waiting close to 30-40 min at this point). Our server then comes and say he is” “sorry” about the mix up and we will be given 50% discount on pizza. I expressed my complaint, saying that the table next to us clearly got our pizzas for free when we were the one waiting. The server then goes “I can’t just take away the other table’s pizza, can I? And I’m apologizing here and giving you 50% discount.” Well screw you. You weren’t apologizing at all.We got our pizza which was salty and piping hot. The server decided to give us free desert for the mix up. BUT MY BIGGEST ISSUE WAS THAT THEY ONLY GAVE IS 30% DISCOUNT ON OUR ORDER. We tipped them normally and paid our check because we didn’t want to make any scene. We walked out while the table next to us were stuffing OUR PIZZA that they got for free in a to-go box. TERRIBLE SERVICE NEVER COME HERE.

Really sad to write this review, I spoke to the manager and gave him a chance to make things right but unfortunately, that did not happen. When I came here, I ordered two pizzas to share with my guest, and we noticed how overcooked the pizza is, but assumed that it's part of the recipe. This pizza wasn't just overcooked, but rather it was charred. I felt a very sharp sensation in my mouth when I took a bite out of the pizza and after that, I couldn't continue eating so I had to pack everything up.On my way home, I tasted blood in my mouth and I had noticed that the charred pizza was so brittle that it had literally torn the roof of my mouth. I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager about this and immediately he defends his product rather than my experience. He says the integrity of the product is based on the sourdough solution that they use in their pizzas and this is new to him.Although I'm not looking for sympathy from a pizza restaurant manager, I am definitely looking for someone to apologize for messing up not only my experience, but my mouth as well. He questioned why I took the pizza home and he questioned why I didn't alert them that my mouth was bleeding while I was there. I explained to him that my mouth started bleeding after leaving the restaurant, as a result of their negligent quality control, which produced extremely brittle pizza.He told me he wants to invite me back into the restaurant, and that he would like to send me a gift card, which I thought was a nice gesture that I initially declined as I was skeptical about going back to have my mouth torn again. He assured me that this was likely an anomaly, and I should enjoy my visit next time. Mind you our total was $60 for two pizzas, and I took a look at my email this morning and saw that this man had the audacity to send me $25. That doesn't even buy me the pizza that I originally ordered.How do you expect me to come back into your restaurant like that? It's quite insulting how this was handled and truly, I think if it weren't for the breweries in the area that would bring the high traffic of intoxicated young people, your restaurant would fail with this kind of management.I was incredibly insulted by the way this was handled and hopefully this can be a learning lesson. Very embarrassing for this restaurant.

They say to write from the heart, but Folks Pizzeria of Costa Mesa has me writing from my stomach. Cannot be beaten, best pizza in OC, one pizza to rule them all. Great service, great food, great taste, end of story.

Pizza is alright. It's always burnt (the crust)Wish they'd let you do half salami half none or just alter their menu if someone is allergic but nah, THEY DONT HAVE KETCHUP
