    To us they look like leftover pizza.
    Justin C.

    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.

    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.

    Salsiccia w/ pepperoni

    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.

    Back patio a few 4 tops and some bar style seating.

    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.

    Salame pizza
    David B.

    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!

    Service was amazing. The bruschetta and pizza was out of this world. 10/10. It's a small space but it's high quality. Will come again!!

    Pizzzzzz-ahhhhhh
    Kurt K.

    I the village of Tustin with street parking that could be a challenge. Friendly staff with ample seating. Clean interior and I think it is setup for a lot of takeout. Food was fresh and very flavorful. Check out the photo. They say you eat with your eyes and this was delicious.

    Wine sampler
    Nao I.

    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

    Amazing Salsiccia pizza
    Jeff N.

    Absolutely hands down the best truly authentic wood fired pizza. Amazing ingredients that are so fresh. Always great service and we scored the window seat. One of our favorite date night spots.

    Bruschetta
    Taylor A.

    Cute lil spot in Old Tustin! Friendly, funny, & helpful staff. The lunch special for $14 is perfect. Nice amount of salad that is light & refreshing, plus a couple slices of pizza hits!!! So happy I came across this, would definitely come back

    Flight

    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.

    Affogato - the best ever!!!
    Sarah B.

    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!

    Prosciutto pizza
    Bertha V.

    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!

    Do they do anything special for birthdays?

    If you join our 5-Star rewards program (free) you will get a reward for a free dessert ($7) value on your birthday.

    Can you bring a dog on the patio?

    Yes...we have dogs all the time.

    What kind of gluten-free options are there?

    They have a lemon arugula salad that is GF, but none of the pizza options are. You can also get caprese and wine is obviously gf.

    I see that this bar/restaurant takes reservations...is it required to reserve for a group?

    I had a party of 6. I went in the day before to check out the restaurant and they offered to save a large table for my group. It's a great place. Good service, good food and reminds me of a neighborhood pub.

    Are they still open during lunch hours Mon-Thurs? Just noticed the new hours (4pm-9pm) here on Yelp and their website...

    Hello, We are open for lunch Friday, Saturday & Sunday only now.

    Any Vegan options here?

    yes, Bruschetta, Hummus with fresh made flatbread, salad and ask to do without cheese. And I bet you can ask them to make flatbread pizza with no cheese

Chris helped us decide on candle combos with both of our candles coming out smelling great. The price is so fair and he pours heavy on the wine tasting. We sampled 5 wines and walked out buying 4 bottles. You start with whites and end with reds. If you love wine and candles, this place will scratch that itch. In fact, I even got a gift card for my parents because of how amazing of a time we had. Chris makes his own wine and takes pride in the quality. He is outgoing and respectful with an insane amount of knowledge on wine and candles. He's inviting and makes the experience exactly as you want. Overall, this is a great place for a date night and I recommend anyone looking for a night out to come here. 5 stars!

This review is for Jonathan Garcia's menu. Kushi oysters were served with a lime mignonette already in the oyster shell. Oysters tasted fresh and good quality. The ribeye vampiro was served on a corn tortilla, with a sheet of cheese, and balanced salsa. I was expecting nice thick chunks of ribeye, but it was a thin crispy slice. I enjoyed the dish, but I was hoping for more. I tried my friend's pork belly taco and it's delicious. The fattiness was decadent. I wish I ordered one for myself. In addition, as a wine bar I would expect a wider variety of wines. They are knowledgeable about the 5 wines on the menu. It's ironic facing a wall of wines, but only able to sip on 5 varietals and some spritz options. However, the desserts were delicious and I recommend saving room for both of them. Unfortunately, I would not return here. The customer service was attentive, but kitchen is slow. If you do decide to come here, then I suggest you practice patience or come here on a date with someone you really like. Also, check their IG for an updated menu, since it probably changes often.
