    Caesar Salad
    Brett N.

    Why 4 stars? Because the pizza was a nice final meal of our vacation. --- --- --- I was in Southern California for a week and ate like it was my job. 2145 Eats was our final stop before heading to the airport and calling it a vacation. We intended to go somewhere else initially, but pivoted to this. We ordered a margherita pizza, a prosciutto and burrata pizza and a caesar salad. All of it was really solid. We almost didn't order the prosciutto and burrata because it was sauce-less, but we ended up enjoying it. The salad might have been the best thing on the table, which is no slight against the pizza, but more about how enjoyable the salad was. Overall, we enjoyed our final stop. The parking lot is tiny and is valet-only, for $8, FYI.

    Valet only parking.

    Food is good, service is excellent. Restaurant is very rustic style, Great for a quick bite - whether solo or group. Great pizza. The garlic cheese bread is very salty. Meat balls are ok. It's been a couple of years since we've been here cuz it's such a hassle to get here, location wise, plus it's valet only parking.

    We went to 2145 Eats after a workout and I couldn't think of a better meal. It was absolutely delicious! The pork belly is definitely one of the show stoppers there, we were OBSESSED with the flavor. The argula and dressing complimented the pork belly nicely. I also loved the garlic pizza we got, I am a huge fan of garlic and it had such a good amount! Our other pizza was delicious too, but I do prefer the garlic one better. The fries were also delicious, with a nice crunch and some house made sauces to compliment them. Since it just opened up, there was plenty of room for us and we were seated quickly. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and it was pretty cool given there's shade in that area. Would definitely come back again!!

    Ohhhh yeahhhh! Finally got to check this off my list. Their food does not disappoint!! The cocktails are beautifully crafted and they taste amazing!!! Their Caesar was delicious and large!! Enough to share! The pizzas!! We got 3 different ones to share and they were all delicious!!! My favorite was the Calabrese with hot honey. The sausage one was our other fave. Parking is valet or you can find parking across the street.

    A really cool spot with great food and drinks. Came on a Thursday night around 5:30 and there was no wait. Sat on the back patio which had heaters. Dog friendly restaurant FYI. Our server, either Melissa or Marissa, was awesome. Very friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. She was perfectly attentive and just an all around great server which is not altogether common nowadays. We had the Brussels sprouts which were so good but a smaller portion than I expected. That could have been because they were on HH. The blue honey pizza was amazing too! Great flavor combo. Loved the crust!! Wood burning ovens are a totally different experience than I'm used to- the crust is almost like naan bread and not a typical pizza crust. Would I come back? Probably not because I live in Laguna niguel but I would recommend this restaurant to those who have never been. My Paloma was delicious too!

    prosciutto pizza

    The pizza dough it's great, however I am not impressed nor will I be returning. The Tiger Shrimp Pasta was so gross, we had to have it remade. The Mushroom Pizza is the best thing on the menu probably. The marinara sauce is too thin & watery on all the other pizzas. The Cesar Salad is alright, nothing special. The Fries saved the day because they were amazing but why tf are they $10? lmao. Servers were a mess, so unorganized. We got so many items on the house because they messed up on so many things.

    Diavola pizza was amazing! That's a mezcal cocktail, packaged in a dainty wrapper. Like brass knuckles in a velvet bag.

    It's a cool place, with a relaxed but special vibe. There's a full bar with a strong craft cocktail menu. Neapolitan pizza with great salads and appetizers. Serviced is friendly and attentive. It's on the slightly pricey side, but the vibe is there if you're looking for a casual night out with a little sparkle.

    We were in the area and craving Neapolitan pizza. Thankfully the wait was minimal and we were seated quickly. Service was helpful and our pizzas came out fast. The main dining area is a covered patio so their gas heaters were crucial to keep the diners comfortable. We all really enjoyed our pizzas although I personally felt like the dough ratio was too much for me.

    Came here for dinner last Thursday. Good food and service. Haven't been here in a while but my hubs was here with his friend a week ago and enjoyed it. Valet parking only but if you don't mind walking and getting some steps, it's right next to a residential area where there's plenty of street parking. We had a couple of appetizers that were good - melon (honey dew) and prosciutto and brussel sprouts. For entrees, we ordered salmon and Gabagool pizza (with cured pork, hot honey, basil and San Marzano marinara).

    Pizza is incredible! Fresh ingredients and a flavorful crust. Cool spot but strange parking situation- there is only valet on site. You can park at the church across the street for free.

    Came here for dinner with a bunch of friends. There is valet parking at their lot but they told us to park at the lot across the street for free which we did. We ordered a bunch of appetizers which I did not care for but the pizzas were amazing. The combinations and toppings were unique and the dough was excellent. Would definitely come back.

    Love this place. The risotto balls are sometimes a bit salty but always tasty. Salami pizza with olives is our go-to.

We were in from out of town and celebrating 31yrs of marriage. We sat at the Bar and really enjoyed our time with Mario! He was great and really took care of us, not to mention the food was amazing!

    What a great find. I had not eaten at this place before, but it came highly recommended from a…read morefriend of mine so I thought hey I'm going to check this out. I am so glad I did, especially since it was happy hour. The place definitely has a great vibe to it. Plenty of seating throughout the restaurant. I recommend sitting at the bar as that's where all the action happens. You definitely want to make sure you get there for happy hour and Taco Tuesday especially, $10 Margaritas $4 tacos and these are not cheap tacos. These are like serious tacos that will fill you up. Their salsa is great, not super spicy and makes great for munching while you're talking with friends. The margaritas are definitely strong, which is nice, as some places tend to water them down for happy hour. I would say that this is a great choice to go check out and have a taco or two or three or four. I had the carne asada, the carnitas, and the pastor, every single one of them was perfect and the salsa that they came with was out of this world. Bottom line? This is a great place for Taco Tuesday as well as just a hangout and have a drink after work. Whenever I am in Costa Mesa. I am definitely coming here again.
