50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Laguna Woods

“If I could give Pizza Guys more stars I would. I'm very picky when it comes to my pizza but the Pizza guys pizza are so delicious and the customer service is wonderful. Everyone is always smiling. Every clean place that is a plus for me. I have made them my cheat day lunch“

“This place serves the best pizza I've ever tasted, hands down. The flavors, the crust, the toppings - everything is just perfect. I find myself craving their pizza constantly! Not only is the food incredible, but the staff are also top-notch. They are friendly, attentive, and always make you feel welcome.“

“The food is amazing. Very authentic pizza and the homemade pastas are unique and flavorful. The only downside on the menu is dessert. There is a hazelnut chocolate torte that tastes waxy, the panna cotta is good but not great and they add a lot of unnecessary toppings like black sesame seeds, and finally the gelato was icy, not creamy. I won't stop coming here because of the dessert but just be forewarned. If it's your birthday just hope they have tiramisu which is often the dessert of the day and quite good. Also, I don't understand the need for club music. It takes away from the ambiance. We always opt to sit outside where we can hear one another and they are more than accommodating.“

“As someone who moved to California from New Jersey, I have pretty high pizza standards and have had a tough time finding a go-to spot that tastes like home….until NOW!!! One bite of the cheese pizza transported me back to NY. I live in LA and will happily make the 1.5 hour trip back to Brooklyn City Market any time, it’s really that worth it!!!“

“Pizza Amore Cafe is our new favorite pizza! I can't have gluten and their Gluten-free is absolutely yummy!! I also can't have garlic so that means no sauce and each time they have made my pizza perfectly!! I highly recommend them for tasty pizza ( Gluten-free & regular) and outstanding customer service!!!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free & garlic allergy“

“Vegetarian options: I can't honestly speak to this since I don't pay attention to it.Dietary restrictions: I asked about ingredients that my guests couldn't have and was graciously accommodated.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility from the front patio, through the restaurant to the back patio and at least the one bathroom I used.“

“I never leave reviews ….From out of town & not only is this the best pizza I’ve had but the fact that we got gluten free crust and I didn’t believe them that it was Gf.Seriously blew my mind! Got sausage & margarita with pepperoni. House salad was AMAZING!!“

“Second time here. Pretty cool setup. Bakery that has baked goods but surprisingly a pizza speakeasy. Never seen anything like it. The cookies were moist and delicious. The first time, we got a plain cheese pizza with basil and garlic-no charge to add those in. Crust was great. Dough and texture done just right. A little more tomato sauce ratio to cheese than I prefer yet still good. Super nice owner prompt service and efficient. Second visit today was cheese, basil, arugula and garlic. Very good just wish there would have been more cheese. I requested it in comments in advance but didn't happen. Would have been a 5 and a new favorite. Overall pretty good.“

“What a wonderful evening at Piccolino. We were greeted by Aiden and McKenna and taken to a wonderful booth. Shelby was our amazing server. We also chatted with Sal, Jeff, and Devore. All wonderful people. We started with Patron Silver with three limes muddled and mint mixed with Pelligrino and the eggplant souffle. The drinks and appetizer were fantastic. We also had the bruscheta, which was quite tasty. Shelby stopped back by, and we ordered the main entrees. My wife ordered the Dover sole special, and I had the pasta wrapped lobster and crab. Juan Carlos delivered our entrees and de-boned the Dover sole tableside. The entrees were prepared and presented exquisitely and tasted amazing. We finished the evening with coffee and spumoni. Jeff stopped back by, and we had a wonderful conversation and appreciated his hospitality and kindness. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this fine establishment.“

“We celebrated a family birthday on a Monday night. The manager, Erick made it so easy and convenient to order food in advance and staff made sure it was all served as we arrived and it was warm and delicious. I'm surprised more people don't know about this great pizza parlor. Thank you Erick and staff for making it so memorable. We'll definitely be back.“

“Honestly I was skeptical at first glance of the meat lover pizza sitting on display as it didn’t look too appetizing BUT BOY WAS I WRONG ! The pizza ended up being delicious! And we ended up getting a couple slices of spinach and feta cheese as well and that was great too !“

“Excellent meal and service! Ordered the Parlor salad, Bucatini all Amatriciana, and Guanciale pizza. Salad- great assortment of greens with fresh mozzarella and salami calabrese Bucatini- Pasta was cooked al dente with loads of Guanciale and pomodoro to make the dish extra special Pizza- Love the San Marzano tomatoes and the Fresno Chile/olive combination. Great crust with that char fired crust“

“its been a year and a half since I have been here yet their food still tastes excellent! The calamari is the best appetizer you can get in my opinion. I loved the marinara sauce that came with it. I ordered some type of truffle pasta and they did not skip out on the truffle!! Biggest amount of truffle I have seen a restaurant give. My dad ordered a shrimp type of pasta and that was also delectable. For a dessert, we ordered the chocolate tart and it was so good!! This restaurant is on the pricer side yet still amazing!!“

“Well pizza is good better than most this review is for the order takers or the person making the pizza. Someone needs to start paying attention. Your pizzas are not cheap and are decent quality si when some one is dropping almost 100 bucks on pizza the least you can do is add the extra cheese they pay for or any other toppings. This was the 4th time I ask for extra cheese and seems like you keep adding less. Its no the money i just hate getting robbed. Not asking for anything free just what we pay for“

“Wow, we're so glad there's an Oliver's location in Irvine now! The food was incredibly delicious and flavorful, and the service was fantastic. You know how sometimes you get the feeling that the staff don't really want to be there? Everyone we interacted with seemed like they were happy to be there. Makes such a huge difference in someone's dining experience! Ambiance was upscale but not stuffy or stiff. Very fun and delicious place to enjoy a meal with friends or family, or even a business lunch. The complimentary house bread was so yummy, especially when paired with their savory olive tapenade. It's hard to resist filling up on bread. We started with a beet salad which was an amazing blend of flavors and textures, thanks to the thinly sliced beets, creamy cheese, and slightly candied walnuts. Fantastic salad that I would order again and again. For mains, we shared: Hokkaido Scallops from Oliver's Trattoria's Truffle Menu: shockingly delicious! The sweetness of the Hokkaido Scallops played perfectly with the truffle (not overpowered at all) and creamy sauce. The sauce was soooo tasty, we dipped pizza crust into it to make sure we didn't waste any of it, lol. A pricey dish but so well-executed and worth every penny. Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese: delicious savory meat sauce that covers nice al dente pasta. Sooo good and a must for Bolognese lovers. Chitarra Pomodoro: a signature for a reason and you can really taste the difference with fresh pasta. Margherita Pizza: sometimes the simple classics are the best, and this Margherita is no exception. Perfect pillowy crust texture on the edges, and a nice thin crust throughout most of the pizza. So delicious and we'll be ordering this whenever we crave pizza! For desserts, we shared 3, and each of us had a different favorite even though we agreed all of them were delicious, so you know they were all good in their own ways! Tiramisu: so creamy and decadent without being too sweet! Probably the best version of a classic Tiramisu I've had. Cheesecake: also not too sweet! Lovely flavors and crust. Tortino di Cioccolato: a chocolate lover's dream! And the gelato is a delicious complement as well. We can't wait to come back!“

“Angelina's is absolutely delightful and delicious! There's a lot of good food in Irvine, but this is a spot I definitely want to go back to. My chicken entree was some of the best cooked chicken I've ever had; it was a huge cut that was succulent and juicy. I was a bit worried about it being flavorless since I got the Calabrese sauce on the side, but even without it the taste was decadent. The salumi board and cheeses were also a hit, as was the burrata. I definitely stuffed myself with cheese and do not regret it in the slightest. I will say my drink wasn't the most exciting, but for one drink I definitely felt like there was a good amount of alcohol in it. Service, especially with drunks was also a little bit slow and they were bringing out drinks 1-2 at a time, but we had a large party on a week night and it looked like the bar only had one worker so it wasn't a big deal, I am understanding of that! All in all I really liked this spot and want to try more of their menu.“

“Met a friend for happy hour at the bar. The female bartender was very friendly and acknowledged my presence immediately. Since the restaurant wasn't busy, my drink was made quickly. The happy hour menu has a nice selection of food choices to choose from and I ordered the cheese pizza which was excellent. Just the right amount of sauce and cheese on top of a delicious thin crust. As for the ambiance, it's a fairly typical bar with at least 8 seats at the bar and enough tables to seat multiple parties. If you're looking for good food, a cold drink and a local place to meet a friend, give Antonucci's a try.“

“Yummy! I ordered their Margarita pizza, light on the cheese, extra basil. I phoned ahead, and it was just out of the oven when I arrived. The pizza was just as I ordered it, and it was delicious. My hairdresser is just across the street, so I will make this my monthly pizza fix.“

“Came on a whim and discovered a local gem. Ordered a veggie pizza and I gotta say, one of the better ones I've tried as of late. Dough was airy and ingredients were balanced. The pink sauce was surprisingly a win for the taste buds and we're sure to return for Jay's pizza. Decor was vibrant and atmosphere was fun with an attentive staff.“

“Curry pizza is a nice edition to our Lake Forest offerings of hip food! The pizza came out with a crisp bottom, dough and cheese were super fluffy and soft, and the crust was bomb and crunchy. We got the half-half pizza of Malai chicken and Curry Chicken Masala. The flavor of the Curry Chicken Masala was better. Overall I liked the pizza except for the dry chicken breast pieces. The chicken came in cube shapes and was dry, and maybe next time I'd prefer to get a vegetarian pizza without the dry chicken. We also got an order of 20 wings! And I actually thought the wings were wayy better than the actual pizza. The flavor on the wings was packed compared to the pizza. The pizza had a lighter offering of flavor. If you'd prefer to just try Indian flavors and want to order a variety so you can try every Indian flavor, then I definitely reccommend the wings over the chicken.“

“I have ordered delivery a few times from this location for my staff, and each time our order has been correct and our food has been prepared perfectly. We have had the same delivery guy each time and he always friendly and pleasant. Round table the favorite pizza for most my staff, so when it’s right and the service is great, it just makes it that much better. Thank you for being great with the service and quality and getting us through our tough days at work. The food and service always helps us have a better day.“

“Beautiful Italian menu with lots of variety. No beach view but still close to the shore. Service was really nice... polite, engaging, attentive. We had the meatball sandwich, three pizzas, the bread, chicken parmesan and the ravioli. Everyone enjoyed their meals, although there was agreement that the food was just slightly under seasoned. Great spot for a quick lunch. The favorite was the chicken parmesan.“

“Convenient place for a good sandwich or slice of pizza.They have a free trivia night on Thursdays at 7.Clean restaurant and restrooms.Dietary restrictions: There are Gluten Free pizza crusts available. Not sure about prevention practices regarding cross-contamination for celiacs.“

“Best pizza in Orange County! Not just my opinion but food critics all throughout California agree. I love the way Lunitas captures some of the Hispanic flavor into traditional style pizza to make a very unique experience. Highly recommend!!!“

“Craving lasagna but not keen on a long drive, I turned to local reviews and found my way to Roma D’ Italia. The promise of good food just a short distance away was too tempting to resist.Upon arrival, I was seated promptly—a pleasant surprise that set the tone for a delightful dining experience.Without a doubt, the lasagna. It was a rich, flavorful dish that lived up to my cravings and then some. The layers of pasta, cheese, and sauce. Creating a comforting and satisfying meal.Old Town Tustin has its own unique charm, and Roma D’ Italia fits right in. The restaurant’s vibe is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual diners and those looking for a more intimate setting.Convenient parking options were a bonus, with both on-site and street parking readily available. This made the visit hassle-free and added to the overall positive experience.“

“Been going to this place for years and it is such an amazing experinces. The Family that owns it is always friendly and present in his business. The food is amazing and addicting and I HIGHLYYYY RECOMMENDDDDD! This place is great for parties and sports events and even just a family lunch or dinner! <3Vegetarian options: Gas an amazing gluten free veggi pizza!!!!Kid-friendliness: plenty of games for kids“

“My friend and I came here at 11:30, started with a drink and appetizer. Ended up getting entrees and dessert and hung out there til 3! The waiter was so nice and gave us fantastic recommendations and was probably one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. So delicious and reasonably priced. We just wanted to try so much that we spent a lot, haha! Would love to come back again soon!“

“this place is a low-key and hidden gem. I've always gotten their sandwiches (great on sourdough or the "rustic roll," which is their pizza dough) but recently got a pizza for my 2 year old and DAMN it was good! bubbly chewy crust, simple quality toppings, tasty ranch on the side, grab a bottle of vino and chill on the patio... perfect place to grab a bite with kids, no snooty vibes, and a variety of options. we have definitely become regulars here.“

“The food is spectacular, and the service is top notch. The owners are frequently there and very attentive. The restaurant is well run and it shows. The atmosphere is what really makes the experience in my opinion, perfect for a date night. The Happy Hour is also great and can be a bit more of a casual experience. If you have not been it is absolutely worth giving a try, you wont be disappointed!“

“Got my food to go during lunch. The pics don’t do justice as it’s in to go containers, but the taste…. Oh my, the flavor! They treated me real nice and albeit small the restaurant was very nice. If I was a local, this would be a date night special for certain.“

“Crunchy crust and flavourful pizzas. Love their meatball ricotta and bronx bomber pizza.Their pinwheel pizza is also a must-try! It’s like a small version of a deep dish pizza, it’s filled with tons of cheese, and the crust is buttery and soft.“

“OC Pizza was always a place I saw near by when I would do my laundry at the laundry mat next over. Let me just say I hate doing laundry, but the best part is coming to get good pizza and amazing secret sauce. I may not be a sports fan but I am a fan of this establishment. I saw they sell fried zucchini and that's on my next try for the following visit. The young lady that works there is really polite!!! Thank you!!!“

“Our kids absolutely loved the doner box with fries. And we loved the doner wrap. This is our 2nd time. We tried the doner with their special bread, too. That was amazing! Loved their special sauce as well as the garlic one. Bread tasted extremely yummy? highly recommended! Oh, I almost forgot Baklava. I loved that too:) it was crispy and delicious ?“

“Staff: They were nice. Really limited interaction as you order and sit down. The food is brought to you. Quality/Quantity: The pizza here is delicious for sure. It is a thinner crust with many many different options. We opted for 3 extra large pizzas (pepperoni, works, and the show. All were really good. Value: Fair as far as I'm concerned. Overall: I definitely will be back. Good pizza, arcade, nice staff, and plenty of options to from. It definitely had a family ambiance which is nice. Sorry forgot to take photos of the food.“

“I was really happy with the food and the service, and the lunch special was reasonable. . A colleague of mine recommended the meatball sandwich, which is a little unique. It has sautéed peppers in it. A Delicious twist. I really enjoyed it. My company always gets Catering from here, their empanadas are fantastic. The food was so good that I brought a group of colleagues back the next day. I tried the pastrami sandwich, which was good, but not as good as the meatball.“

“Went to Casa D’Oro during a lunch date with my son and I should say I’m pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the overall experience.Prices are very reasonable and food was amazing.Best part was the Tiramisu cake which is splendid and a must try.“

“Went with a friend for Orange County Restaurant Week. We each had one of their three course meals. I had Caesar salad, grilled salmon with sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes. For dessert I had their cheesecake with strawberries. My meal was very good. Their bread was a nice addition to my meal. My friend had the minestrone soup, chicken and mushrooms with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was cooked very well. The sauce on the plate was heavenly. Her dessert was tiramisu, which was yummy. All in all, we had a really good dinner with very good service. The people who cleared the tables and refilled glasses were particularly attentive. This was a very enjoyable experience and we will be returning.“

“The Pizza is pretty good. It is the only thing I have gotten here. Naturally with it being in the spectrum, it is going to be more crowded during the evenings and when work is over for the day. The wait can get very long so be ready for that.“

“My spouse exposed me to this amazing place a few years ago. The empanadas are the best I’ve ever had in OC. Luckily I work right next to them now so every so often I like to get some norteña empanadas or their ham & cheese sandwiches from the fridge. Every meal I’ve had from here has always been a hit & the workers are very nice as well.“

“Our new favorite restaurant! Two trusted foodie friends recommended this place, and it did not disappoint. Everything that we ordered was delicious. Drinks were incredible, too. Our server was so helpful, charming, and made the evening a lot of fun. Will absolutely go back. Highly recommend!“

“I almost don’t want to leave a review because it will inevitably mean more people come to the restaurant, but there simply is no better New York style pizza in Southern California that I’ve been able to find. The owner is great, the value is good, the pizza is amazing. Be sure and come for the lunch special, and make sure one of your slices is the house pizza. You won’t regret it. Just please don’t come too often, I don’t want a long line when I come here twice a week.“

“Love the food here! Their hatch burger was really good especially the burger buns are amazing!I understand they don’t customize per your request as mentioned on their menu but we asked for ketchup they didn’t have. We asked for extra hot sauce they gave us a few drops of it in the little sauce cup (came across as rude). We requested for extra kimchi in their kimchi ramen they couldn’t fulfill that request as well.I may go again for its food but I’d hope for more hospitable behavior next time.Vegetarian options: It’s all vegan“

“i came because "haha, funny peppinos pizza tower gif, haha" but it was actually really good. really good sauce and dough was chewy but soft, super good pizza for real. if yall is coming from mexico or from like i5 check this place out frfr on god no cap. also funny pizza tower hahahaha so funny“

“I have a picky palate, and Sal's is my new favorite pizza restaurant. I just wish they were more conveniently located, because at this time, I must park one or two floors down and finding parking is not so friendly. They do have nice table seating inside. I also buy pizza here and take it into the movie theater next door, because they allow it. Better and cheaper food, why not?Kid-friendliness: The place is PG.“

“Centro is authentic rustic Italian salads, sandwiches and wood fired pizzas at a reasonable price. Their wines and craft beer are fantastic! We’ve been going for years and get the same great food and service every time. It’s great to have a place like this in the old town Tustin area.“

“Wow! This little gem in Lake Forest. We were running errands and it was cold and cloud day so we pulled into this cozy Italian restaurant! We were greeted by Zachary. He was incredible! He has THE BEST customer service. I knew I was going to leave a 5 star review before we even ordered. My husband wanted a Bloody Mary but can't handled spicy ones. Zachary offered to bring a sample of the base and the bartender even came over to chat about it. Btw if you like a little spice in your bloody, order it! It had the best flavor and was handmade. The food was amazing, the restaurant was clean and charming and Zachary was just so good at his job! We stayed way longer than we normally would because it was so comfortable and a place where you just want to take your time. We will absolutely will be back and look forward to another perfect experience! Portions were generous, the pizza was so good, as well as the pasta fazool, amazing! Super fresh salad, bread was fresh and warm. Go here! Ask for Zachary and enjoy a cocktail by an exceptional bartender!!“

“We were passing through Irvine and looked for good "homemade" food. It was delicious, Greek salad was fresh and tasty, Alfredo pasta with chicken, spaghetti Parmesan was also delicious and freshly made. Philly steak was decent, my husband was not fan of the bread used. Pizza was also good and tasty. Service was great, friendly. Nice and clean restaurant. We were there Friday around 5:30pm sitting alone but people coming in and out like crazy for pick ups, that tells you how good this place is! Love to find places like this on our travels! Highly recommend!“

“I decided to pick up an order before going to my doctors appointment. Was able to place the order online and then easily picked it up. Was able to get a plate and cheese. They included naps and a menu which is great. Would definitely recommend this place. The food is tasty. I would definitely come back.“

“We love Briccio! They have live entertainment, the owner goes around to say hi to everyone, they remember their customers and the food is great. We just had their butter cake - the most delicious butter cake I ever had. Definitely a neighborhood gem.“

“5 couples were camping at Crystal Cove & we wanted pizza one night. Manager, Dioney, at Zpizza worked with us & let us call individually to pay for our own orders but delivered them all at time requested at ranger station. Each camper said not only was the phone customer service easy & professional, the food (not just pizza) was great. Will definitely be going back to this place again.“
