New York Pizzeria

Loved our half n half pizza! Pasta w/​alfredo sauce was decent but the garlic bread that it comes with is very very good! Side salad was tasty too. Order came in after an hour.

Amazing pizza, plentiful salads, and really affordable! I love this place. We come here about 2−3x/month. I like that it is a family run place that the neighborhood can support.

This is a quaint old style pizzeria just like I remember! Where the English is broken and the Pie is Authentic! The salad was well done with Romaine lettuce. We got the famous Hawaiian pizza which lived up to its name. Delicious all around! But the customer service was by far the best part. We will be back!

Best thin crust pizza I ever had excellent friendly and wonderful people to deal with this is after 6 yrs of purchasing their fresh pizza and excellent price I might add

Best pizza on Irvine. They put curry powder in their Hawaii and it’s great. More affordable than the other places if that matters. A Great alternative to the over priced pizzas from first class.
Our family favs are:
Pepperoni
Hawaiian
Veggie.

Amazingly authentic pizza. All fresh ingredients which makes for a quality meal. Owners are super friendly and welcoming. Great family environment!

Really good! And I’m picky about my pizza.
We ordered delivery, which was fast, and the pizza wasn’t soggy or over cooked. Their service was great. The pizza was cooked just right. I will definitely be ordering from this spot again!

The best Pizza I have ever had… ever. I order this every Friday for my whole office. It’s fresh, great ingredients and a fantastic price. They are also very polite and nice over the phone. The delivery service is quick even though we are slightly further than their radius. I highly recommend this place.

This place remind me of my childhood! The pizza is like something that my mom used to cook! It is a home made, high quality, natural, and organic pizza. Basically I am happy that I’m closer to them and I am able to order from them. The delivery is very fast and always hot pizza and perfect experience.
My husband and I order from them every week for ourselves and our employees.
LOVE IT !
The whole thing is either you will love it like us, or it will be different experience for the first timers. Right now, I wanted to call them, but I thought after so many times of ordering about f. time to leave a feedback: D

I kind of feel bad leaving this review because the owners are really nice and welcoming. And based upon the many «awards of excellence» (2007 – 2012) from the city of Irvine proudly hanging in their shop, I assume that this place used to be a neighborhood favorite. But the pizza here is mediocre at best, a far cry from anything one might find in New York.
I ordered a large ($ 14.50) half-​and-​half of the Hot Pizza (pepperoni, jalapeño, garlic, green pepper) and Hawaiian Pizza (ham, pineapple, curry powder). The Hot Pizza was very garlicky and had a good amount of spice. I did not care for the Hawaiian though, mainly because of the curry powder. But the worst part of the pizza was the crust, which is, in my opinion, the most important part of the pizza. It was dry, crumbly, and floury, and it tasted more like biscuit dough than pizza dough. I think the owners ought to invest in something better than the conveyer belt pizza oven they are currently using. I mean, if the DIY pizza places can use a real oven, then you really should too.
1 ½ stars

Best pizza I’ve ever had in the 19 years of living in california. Im from jersey and have been looking for a pie like this ever since i moved here. Wish i would have found it earlier. I ordered the xl cheese pizza and knew i found something close as soon as the first slice folded in half when i picked it up.

I’m a health freak. I won’t eat anything that’s too oily or salty and a lot of other things lol.
By far the juiciest, best pizza crust I’ve had.
Don’t know why there are bad reviews. The inside of the store might not look the fanciest but that is for sure not affecting the quality of the food. Owners are complete sweethearts and make sure you get exactly what you ask for: thin/​thick crust, a lot of sauce, less sauce, etc.
Uhhh the pasta is the best! YUM.
So YES I recommend you go try for yourself!

Best pizza in North/​Central OC.
The owners are wonderful, pizza is amazing.

I decided to give this place a chance because of the positive reviews and the fact it was still in business. They sell pizza slices and they sounded more safe to me, but I ordered food for a few guests. I bought a few of the sandwiches that don’t need to be cooked and an order of spaghetti.
The pizza slice was what I expected, nothing special but I’m glad it was cooked properly this time. The workers were friendly, and I started to think that this place may have improved since my last experience. I gave the sandwiches to my guests and they liked them, those items were done fine without any trouble.
The spaghetti was dry, they need to use more than double amount of the sauce that they typically use. I remember the meatballs are actually very good from this place, but there was a reason for my single star rating. We found a long thin black hair in the food, so we threw it out.
Once again, I’ll say the people are always nice, it doesn’t take long to get your orders but there’s always something terribly wrong with them. Perhaps I was just being curious and hoped things turned around, but they haven’t. This will be the last review I will make for this establishment.

I’m sorry but this place needs to change ASAP. They need Gordon Ramsay to come in to film an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.
I’ve been coming to this place for over 15 years. It was good those first years, but now I can’t even call it pizza.
I am giving 3 stars purely because the owners are very nice.
The pizza is stale, hard, and flavorless. Everything from the dough to the cheese is done wrong. You have to see it to believe it. If you went home and randomly got flour, mixed it with water, put tomato sauce on it, and then sprinkled cheddar cheese, that would be better than the pizza here ten fold. You think I am exaggerating. No sir, I am not.
The pasta has almost no sauce, the noodles are crusted/​hard/​dry. But overall it is still the best thing on the menu, which isn’t saying anything.
It takes 30 to 40 minutes to make 1 pre frozen pasta and 1 mini pizza barely the size of your face. And when it comes out you are expecting quality but nope. Just poop.
My college dorm known for being slow and gross made an entire gourmet restaurant quality pizza in less than 10 minutes.
I hope the owners read this review and change their ways. Truly I tell you, you need to fix this. Pizza isn’t that hard to make. Look it up on youtube «how to make pizza».
I don’t understand how you can get cheese pizza wrong…

This was the first pizza i ordered when i first moved to irvine. I got a flyer that had a good deal so i went for it. I like to support small business when i can. I just could not get into the pizza… it was the crust. It was so plain and bland, much like cardboard. I did like the cheese and sauce but couldnt get past the dough. I gave it a try but never again.
Pros: deals, cheese and sauce
Cons: the unremarkable crust

Unfortunately, I did not find this place on Unilocal before ordering from this place. I was hopeful that we could find a pizza place around here, but it wasn’t so. My boyfriend ordered a pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom pizza and I got a feta, spinach, and chicken pizza. We also got some wings. This was honestly the absolute worst food I have ever eaten. The crust tasted like cardboard, there wasn’t much sauce (but the sauce did not taste good), and the chicken was not tasty either. I took one bite of mine and I had the worst taste in my mouth. We ordered the chicken wings because we haven’t been able to find good wings in the area and they were overly breaded and fatty and just as inedible as the pizza.
The only good thing was that the delivery was fast and the man who delivered it was very nice. I really don’t recommend ordering from here unless than you want to eat cardboard with some bad tasting toppings on top. I wish I could get my money back since I took one bite and wasn’t able to have any more.

Ordered pizza and pasta. Seriously the most disappointing experience i have had when it comes to pizza delivery. They said it would take 40−45mins (called for status)1hr and 10 mins later, finally got our food. The food was obviously sitting under the heat lamps for a very long time, because our pizza was hard as a rock and our crust was actually curled inwards. Cheese was dark brown. Pasta, with barely no sauce and also hard. Pasta wasn’t creamy, but was crispy and clumpy.
Kids and family were starving but could barely eat it. Such a disappointment. Even called to complain and he said he has never had any complaints in the past 20 years. I Highly doubt that. He did offer a free pizza for our next order, but will not be taking him up on that… ever.
Do not eat or order from here. Prices are good, but seriously pay a little more and go to round table.

Pizza was OK… But nothing amazing. I do think some of these reviews are a bit harsh. This is Irvine… the land of chain restaurants. This isn’t Chicago, this isn’t NYC, this isn’t even LA. So don’t expect some amazing pizza. It’s decent. The sauce didn’t have enough sugar for my preference, a bit on the tomato-​tart spectrum. The crust was a nice texture, thin NY-​style. Some previous reviewers complained of cold pizza… not mine. I burnt the roof of my mouth!
For what it is, I did think the pizza was overpriced. Paid a little under $ 12 for a medium pizza. Just enough food for the boyfriend and I (we weren’t starving… if we were maybe it wouldn’t be enough). What I did particularly like was the many options of toppings offered. Aside from the standard pepperoni, mushrooms, etc. they also had toppings similar restaurants (is, First Class) don’t offer like feta cheese, artichoke, eggplant and zucchini. Yum!
So this place isn’t out of this world, but it’s decent. Would I come back? Maybe if I were too lazy to drive far for non-​chain pizza.

I ordered a medium pizza with green bell pepper, mushroom and pepperoni, also ordered one buffalo wing.
Pizza was pretty ok. Not too crazy with sauce, cheese or toppings. But I would order extra cheese next time because I like my pizza to be smothered in cheeeeeese.
Crust was a bit too hard, more than chewy, but more on the hard side. At least it was not too bready or salty or greasy, tho.
The wings… I will probably never order them again. They don’t have the tanginess like other typical buffalo wings, but their sauce was rather greasy, and extremely salty. I mean the sauce was just a salt bomb. I think i drank a gallon of water after eating them.
Delivery was quick and service was good. For lazy days, it is a ok place to order pizza at home!
