We just chanced upon this restaurant when we found out how crowded all the other places could be in this area. We were celebrating a birthday and the food and service were top notch! We ordered the eggplant pizza, Mediterranean salad and they were 100/10! We weren't all that hungry but man did we finish it up in no time! All the food was just so good! The guys got 3 salads and the Nutella pizza for dessert and there were absolutely no leftovers! Our whole party really enjoyed it. We did have to split up our party of 7 into 2 tables outside but that totally worked out since the husbands and wives wanted their space too! Anyways, amazing restaurant and service! Thank you! read more

pizza a bit salty but still pretty delicious. the dough is crispy but soft! would want to try out a new flavor next time i did not get to experience the service or the inside of the place since we ordered the pizza take-out and had it at centro storico (their pasta counterpart) which is also allowed! its so nice that you can order from all three places and have it out on the outdoor dining area. for example, we got a coffee from the cafe and the pizza from centro! if i wanted to, i could also get a pasta from storico as well :p read more

Centro - Prosciutto pizza - Breweries Near Me - Tustin, California

My family has been eating at Centro for a while now, and it's been pretty consistent in terms of food and service for us. My parents, husband, and I shared the misto platter, which is a great amount of food and super delicious. The prosciutto is great, and I love all the cheeses. I just wish it came with a liiiittle bit more cheese. My mom and I shared the margherita pizza, which we both enjoyed. It wasn't amazing, but it's fresh and the crust is good. My husband loved his calzone (he basically licked the plate clean!), and my dad enjoyed his salsiccia pizza. We all shared a bottle of the rose, and it was also tasty. I wish the burrata pizza came with sauce and mozzarella in addition to the rest of the ingredients it includes. I would definitely order that! Unfortunately it is a sauce-less pizza, which is pretty underwhelming to me. I would also love to add burrata to the other pizzas if I could! Overall, we enjoy Centro and it's a good spot for quality food. It's not the most amazing pizza in the world, but it does the trick! read more

Last weekend my wife and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch with close friends at Storico. Everything was excellent -- the food, the service, and the desserts. After lunch, around 2:50 p.m., I stopped by Centro to order two small pizzas: a Margherita with extra cheese and a Vegetarian pizza. We have ordered from Centro several times before and always enjoyed the pizzas, so we had no reason to expect any problem. However, the order was disappointing. I paid $39.87 for what was supposed to be two small pizzas. When my wife and I opened the boxes at home, we found only six small slices of cold pizza -- three slices of Margherita without the extra cheese I had requested, and three slices of Vegetarian pizza. I emailed and left voicemails to them whether there was a misunderstanding with my order. Is $39.87 really the correct price for what we received. But no response at all!!! I have attached photos showing what was actually included in my order. Look at them and judge it by yourself. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I expect too much from them. I definitely will not go back to this place. read more

First time visitor to this place - located in old town tustin Parking is available on the streets or possibly behind the restaurant Indoor and patio dining available. Maximizing space inside and outside a few tables and stools and heater. Rustic cozy comfort environment with the wood and pizza oven off to the side Pizza salads antipasti available and few kid options No reservations, walk in only Would have been a 4 star place but the service lacked from beginning to end, though food overall was good. Upon entering on a rainy day, wasn't greeted and stood waiting to be acknowledge. Small wait no problem and understandable. Was told would receive a text when a table was ready. A text turned out to be a phone call and was asked if was still looking for a table and an inside one was available. Went inside and was going to be seated at the window dining and immediately told patio is next available. A bit odd and but still went with it but was sat directly next to the electrical panels. Our server came didn't introduce himself didn't ask if it was our first visit or provide recommendation or any of the specials. It would appear we had to initiate many of the questions on our end. Even after the food was delivered, we weren't check upon and the server walked by multiple times checking on other tables behind and around us. Even when dropping off the check, didn't offer anything else or ask how everything was. Order the Misto and Salciccia to share. Please note some of the pizza has 2 pricing for a half or whole order. Misto was basically their version of a charcuterie board with multiple types of cheese meats grapes olives bread and fig jam. I would say the fig jam and one of the salami were the star, everything else felt a bit basic but still tasted fine. The Salciccia pizza was quite hearty and fresh made to order. The Italian sausage provided small saltiness with the robust tomato sauce and though soggier in the middle, the crust and cornmeal? really shined through the crunch and taste. Fresh basil brought the flavors together and was not overpowering. It appeared to have 6 slices or might have been 8 but the whole pizza was finished. The tiramisu was light and flavorful with its creamy puff and moisture of the cake. Very shareable and not overly sweet. Would certainly return to try more pizzas and the salads look refreshing and pretty in presentation to try. Family friendly, date night, and group outing yes indeed. read more

First timer! Weeknight dinner. Easily found parking in the back lot but also had ample street parking available. Cozy restaurant with good music playing. Lovely staff, our server was super helpful with suggestions. Ordered their honey cream beer, salsiccia pizza (added pepperoni), and funghi pizza. All very good! Freshly made and the two pizzas balanced each other well. A bit pricey though. Their large size pizzas have 6 slices (as pictured). So for 2 pizzas, added pepperoni, and 1 beer - it came out to $50ish before tip. But overall had a great experience. read more

Came here for lunch while visiting OC area for Christmas with the family. Was a bit later of lunch around 2pm. We got seated on the back patio and the weather was perfect. Locals playing cards and people enjoy the beautiful day. Service was fairly quick, it was a bit less crowded when we arrived and I think they had just one server so it was a bit slow at first. We got the kids a cheese and pepperoni which was 3 slices each. Grownups got the prosciutto pizza. All so so. Sort of bland and soggy in the middle which was sad as I had higher hopes. read more

Freakin delicious pizza! The best I have had in OC. Authentic Italian style. Delicious crust. A little pricy for a small pizza (they call it a half pizza), but not enough to take away from 5 stars. I had the salame pizza - the meat was spicy and excellent. The server suggested a chile oil - very nice. Small but nice wine selection, including some Sicilian wines that I like. Small and kind of odd beer selection. Friendly service and an inviting atmosphere on a pretty street in old town Tustin. Parking lot in back, but that was full - street parking was easy enough to find. The place is pretty small, although there are tables outside in the back - I don't know how many. Great job, Centro! read more

I haven't had good pizza like this in so long. The restaurant is pretty small on the inside but heard they have outdoor seating. The server was very friendly and hyped up the small salad when I asked about it. The lunch special is from Thursday - Sunday and it was an amazing deal at $12, which is half a pizza and a small salad. The salad was pretty big for a side and had a balsamic dressing - delicious! The pizza was made to perfection: cheesy, great tomato flavor, crispy but chewy dough, and the salsiccia had Italian sausage that was well spiced! I usually don't drink wine but the wine they brought out for the sampler were all amazing read more

In search of a new pizza place, and with the great reviews I knew I needed to give this place a try. The ambiance is that of a cozy, small Italian spot, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. They serve thin-crust pizza and have a selection of local beers on tap. We shared the Salsiccia--topped with Italian tomatoes, Italian sausage, fresh basil, and mozzarella--which was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the beer flight, allowing us to sample a variety of local brews. The service was superb--friendly, attentive, and efficient. read more

Delicious every time! I love coming here specifically for their wood-fired pizzas. The Salsiccia is my all-time favorite. I have yet to find another pizza I like as much as this one. The pizzas here are simple but so amazing and consistent everytime! Also, you MUST get their Affogato! Out of all the affogato I've tried, this one as well is consistent and actually the best one I've had out of any restaurant. Service is always super sweet and will continue to keep coming here often! read more

Loved it!!! Food was amazing and so was the service! It was a busy place so come early!

I absolutely love this place. We have been coming here for quite some time. You can't go wrong with any of their food. We love their pizzas, salads and appetizers. We always get great service when we come here. The place has a two family style tables and about 4 two seater tables inside and then they have some more tables outside in the back of the restaurant. Tonight we ordered the caprese salad as an appetizer and my husband ordered the Capriciosa pizza and I ordered the Prosciutto pizza. Everything was delicious. Love this place! read more

Absolutely adorable little establishment. We arrived right at 5 o'clock at opening and we're lucky we did because within 10 minutes It was swamped. Menu consists of Panini's and pizzas all cooked in the Woodfire oven, which was amazing. Our server was Israel and he was a 20 of 10. Really made you feel welcome, friendly, educated, explain things well, and never made you feel rushed despite being the only server in the entire place Order a salad to start and it could've used some seasoning which was an ongoing theme. But the arugula is Chris and it was a pretty nice balance overall once you added salt. We did the half order and was plenty for two of us to share. Ordered pizzas. I did the mushroom, my husband did the pepperoni and sausage which was not on the menu, but they were happy to accommodate and both of my kids got cheese pizza. All of the pizzas came out on a very nice crust. They obviously use double zero flour because it was late and still crispy. The cheese is certainly not from a bag and delivered by Sysco. It was a little watery but light and stringy. my mushroom pizza also came with ham on it. The mushrooms were just like white mushrooms that were sliced up. And the ham was very flavorful, but I would've preferred some caramelization or something mushrooms that disappointment. Sausage and pepperoni pizza pepperoni were spicy and we really liked them. The kids loved their pizza as well. Overall place with a great atmosphere. The only deduction was because all of our pizzas really needed salt as did the salad and I wasn't thrilled with the mushroom selection on mine. I would definitely go again and just try to eat something different or stick with the pepperoni. read more

An absolute gem of a place to check out in the OC area. Came in for dinner one night with some friends and was genuinely surprised at the simplicity but distinction of this place. The beer samples are a steal and my friends ordered some wine flights! And they did not disappoint. Plenty of seating available for big and small parties. Also a great date idea! Staff is super friendly and answered all hundreds of my questions. Can't go wrong with the margarita pizza and beer sample! I only wish I took photos..next time! read more

Love, love, love centro and all they have to offer! The food is full of flavor and the menu has a good variety of pizza options that really come alive in your mouth.

Centro has the best authentic pizza in town! The flavors are incredible, and you can really taste the difference with their authentic wood-fired oven.

Not sure why I was charged $28 for a Margherita pizza when that's not how it states on the menu.

I had a great experience at Centro! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt modern yet relaxed -- a perfect balance of stylish and welcoming. The staff greeted us right away and were friendly and attentive without hovering. The food was excellent. Every dish came out beautifully plated and full of flavor. You can tell they put real care into the ingredients and presentation. The drinks were just as impressive -- well-balanced and creative, not overly sweet like some places. It's a great spot for a casual dinner, date night, or meeting friends. The vibe makes you want to stay a little longer just to enjoy the music and people-watch. Definitely recommend Centro if you're in the area and want something that feels local but with big-city polish. I'll be coming back soon! read more

I love local spots. Unfortunately, this didn't do it for me. Located in Old Town Tustin, the location and vibe is very quaint and charming. But that's about as special as it gets here. We ordered two salads, and a pizza. Everything was just very underwhelming. The service was slow. Nothing memorable. The salads were huge but all green. Very stingy with other toppings and ingredients. If I want a rustic pizza and bite after bite delicious salad, Centro is not it. read more

Was invited here on a whim last night with some cousins. Great choices for different salads & pizzas. Enjoyed this bean/sausage dip app, salame pizza & arugula salad. The app was next level & salame had the perfect level of spice. I wish the tables were larger but I understand they're doing what they can for a smaller space. Service is friendly & accommodating, but had to remind them to seat us & pizza took longer than ideal. Some uptight blonde Karen in a chambray dress got seated next to us in the patio & kept rudely staring at me & my child. Yes, 1 year olds are wiggly & learning how to navigate life. You are entitled to your child free life with your silly over the top lap dog stroller, but NOT a child free world. Get over it & mind your business! read more

Love the wine sampler! It is such a cool concept! Wish more places had these for indecisive, analysis paralysis folks like me. Unfortunately, because I can't MATH, I thought one wine sampler (8oz) = 1 glass of wine (5oz) and that is how I got wasted on a weekday night. If you still trust my alcohol-tinted opinion, here it is: Vegetariana: loved all the veggies on this, especially the arugula. Was debating whether to get a salad + pizza or two pizzas so I'm glad this was basically a hybrid. Tasty and you get your greens! Scamorza: hubby and I got them to hold the pancetta on half the pizza so I could have it without. It was interesting with the rosemary but it wasn't very flavorful otherwise. My guess is that modifying it to be vegetarian took the flavor out. The place is small and casual. Very friendly staff. My only ask is please please have more vegetarian pizza options, especially on the white pizzas! We'd love to come back! read more

I am so upset! We're regulars but tonight was the final straw. The food is so good! The service... Terrible. Came in as a family of 4. Two kids got their pizzas, we got our salad. Had to wait 45 minutes to get our pizza. That's frustrating but we get it, mistakes happen. That's not the problem. The owner/ lady who's always working said she was working on it. No I am sorry, nothing. No we made a mistake, no we forgot to make the pizza. Keep in mind it's late and we have a young kid. Nothing! She literally handed us the bill and walked away. I don't get it. If you don't like communicating with the public you shouldn't be working in a restaurant. Saying I'm sorry goes along way!! It actually shows patrons you care. So yes, the food is good but don't expect anything more. read more

We had a pretty good pizza here the last few times. It's a cute and cozy little pizzeria with a few nice outdoor tables in the back of the shop. Service is always very good and the pizza is pretty good too, the crust gets a little soggy in the middle but I think that's pretty standard for Neapolitan style. We will be back. read more

Centro in Old Town Tustin is a cozy Italian gem. Started out with some fresh vibrant salads, the classic Cesare with whole white anchovy's and a the fresh Arugula with shaved Parmigiano cheese, Nicole's olives & cranraisins tossed with EVOO & Fig Basamic, both outstanding. Followed by a couple of Neapolitan style wood fired oven pizzas, and an absolutely stellar stuffed calzone. Both the pizzas and calzone were made with top notch ingredients and you definitely could taste the difference when a product is made with quality ingredients. A special shout out to the outstanding sausage that was stuffed into our calzone. I don't know if it is made in-house or bought locally, but it is by far the best sausage I've tasted on a pizza or calzone ever, with just the right amount of heat to it for me. Worth the trip if you're craving pizza done right. read more

Literally the best pizza in OC in my opinion. I kinda feel like it's a hidden gem to be honest. The ambience is lovely and the service is great as well. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner too!
