I've been here twice, and both visits have been fantastic! The pizza is outstanding, and they have a great selection of local craft beers on tap. The food is always fresh, delicious, and satisfying, with generous portions at reasonable prices. The service is friendly, and the spectacular view makes the experience even better. Definitely a great spot to enjoy good food, drinks, and beautiful scenery. I'll absolutely be back! read more

My mom used to love coming to Cosentino's Pizza whenever we were back in town. This year, we returned under much different circumstances--we were there to lay my mom to rest. As a family, we wanted to have lunch at one of her favorite places and spend some time remembering and celebrating her. I've waited a while before posting this review because I wanted to be fair and separate the emotions surrounding our visit from the actual experience. The first day we stopped in, the drink machine was being replaced and the restaurant wasn't open. That was completely understandable. What was disappointing was the attitude we received from the young staff when we simply asked when they expected to reopen. We got the typical "I don't know" response, and when we tried asking a couple of follow-up questions for clarification, they seemed annoyed and really weren't interested in helping. We aren't from the area and had specifically made the trip over because of what this place meant to my mom. We figured the first experience was just an off moment, so we came back the next day when they were open. Unfortunately, the same general attitude from the young staff carried over and really took away from the experience. The food itself wasn't the problem--it was the lack of friendliness, hospitality, and basic customer service. Of course, they had no way of knowing why we were there, and we certainly didn't expect or feel the need to explain that we had just buried our mom. But that's also the point: you never really know why someone has walked through your door or what that visit might mean to them. I wish our experience had been different, especially because Cosentino's held such good memories for our family and for my mom. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to those memories. Food is good..... read more

This place has been around for awhile and I like that they have pizza by the slice. This time, we ordered two pizzas and garlic knots. The hot honey pepperoni was amazing. I didn't care for the margherita much, but I also didn't choose to order that pizza anyways. The garlic knots were soft and fluffy inside but could have used more garlic. Definitely a good spot to go grab food at after a morning surf session. read more

We ordered pizza while at the beach and walked over to pick it up. They provided plates and napkins for us. The pizza was delicious.

Cosentino's Pizza -- San Clemente Pier Let me clarify something immediately: I did not come for a peaceful walk. I came riding a crazy-ass Tesla-fast go-kart, basically stolen from my own kid Max -- because daddy needs to have some fun too. Life's about balance, okay? Parenting and speed violations on a pier. And right there, mid-ride, ocean wind slapping my face, seagulls plotting crimes -- Cosentino's Pizza appears like a divine pit stop. The pizza? Straight fire. Crispy crust, perfect chew, cheese pulling like it's auditioning for a commercial, sauce hitting that "don't ask questions, just eat" zone. This is the kind of slice you eat standing up, slightly out of breath, helmet still on, questioning your life choices -- in the best way possible. Now pause everything. GIA. Boss. Manager. Queen. Controller of the oven universe. Cool, sharp, zero nonsense, all heart. You can feel she runs the place just by the way everything works. And then... the chocolate chip cookies. I'm not exaggerating. These cookies should be regulated by the government. Warm, gooey, perfectly balanced, chocolate melting like it knows it's special. One bite and you forget you were just committing minor pier-related felonies in a go-kart. Pizza on the pier. Ocean views. Stolen go-kart from my kid. Gia dropping the best motherfing cookies on planet Earth*. If you're on San Clemente Pier and you skip Cosentino's -- seek help. If you stop here -- welcome to the correct timeline. Max, I'll return the go-kart later. Probably. read more

Ok! So this place is packed! And while I loved the pizza & the salad, the restaurant itself needs some TLC! It's small, and that's ok! But ... it's also dingy & dirty & no one was wiping down the tables! The day we were there the soda machine wasn't making ice and that was a bummer because Our drinks were warm. The trash was overflowing and the walls were greasy & dirty! I have to admit though, the food was good! The pizza was delicious & so was their house salad. Prices are very affordable! read more

Last year it was great. Some of the best pizza ever, but since then they changed the crust, and now it's no better than frozen pizza. Sad! It was one of the main reasons we went back to San Clemente again this year. Guess we will find a new beach next year. read more

Tames the pizza cravings, but if you're looking for the best pizza joint in town, I would look elsewhere. Just super average and for the price, it's nothing special. I tried the Works and hot honey pepperoni. Both were good, but again, nothing to write home about. read more

Excellent pizza! Very tasty and the vegetables on top are nice and crispy - very fresh - not overcooked. They have a solid beer selection with several local choices. Location right across the street from the pier is ideal. The view of the occasional passing train kept my son entertained. We'll go again next time we're in town. read more

This is the BEST pizza in OC hands down!!!!!! No one can tell me otherwise. Highly recommended.

Pizza with a View!! Talk about a great location! It's right across the street from the San Clemente Pier. It's perfect for a lunch or dinner at the beach!! You'll get a view of the sunset, although you'll get a better view when you walk across the street to the pier. Dine there or get take out and have a picnic by the beach, either on the grass area or at the tables by the sand. There's a monorail train that runs through so it can be loud. It's a small pizzeria so seating is limited when it's busy. The Pizzas were so cheesy and hot when they put them on the table. The smells coming from the food were heavenly! It was definitely enough to feed our group of 8!! Large Pizzas: Pepperoni and Italian Sausage Pepperoni and Meatballs Chicken and Bacon with White sauce The wings with the ranch dip and the garlic Knots were fantastic!! read more

Having come here for years at this point.. I expect more. The appeal is they have long hours and easily accessible. You can't really mess up a pizza and wings. The food quality is consistent. It is getting more expensive tho. The reason for my lower review is due to the cleanliness of this location. Regardless of the time it is always dirty and trash full. The restroom .. omg horrible. I would rather walk across the street to the beach and us that public restroom. read more

If I was just to review the food, they would've definitely got five stars! However, my review is based off of the service as well. I was easily able to place an order on the slice app and pick up at the restaurant. This was fairly simple and gave me about a 30 minute wait time. When I got into the restaurant, I stood there for a few minutes and was waiting at the front counter for someone to make eye contact with me, saying "excuse me" Finally, after about some time, a young man asked if he can help me. I explained that I placed an order and I'm there to pick up. He abruptly said "for what?" I gave him my name and I told him what my order consisted of, He turned around and grabbed the boxes behind him which were mine! I said thank you and he gave no reply. I asked if I can please get some plates. He looked at the female standing right next to him and they both kind of snickered. He acted like I was asking for too much!! The young man gave me 3 plates and I said thank you, again he said nothing. Was extremely disappointed with the customer service. When I got back to my condo, the Margarita pizza lacked cheese, but it had really good flavor and was tasty. The fig and goat cheese pizza was so delicious!!! I wanted to eat it every day I was there. However, the customer service deterred me! This restaurant makes a pretty good pizza. Hopefully the next time I try this place maybe the customer service will be on point, versus what I got. read more

Service was great, fast and patient when we were deciding what beer we wanted. The pizza and ranch were so good, it's thinner pizza but still filling. They have a two slice plus a beer meal deal. We sat outside and the view was everything. Very clean inside! read more

Best pizza in SC! Also they have amazing gluten free crust which we love. And can't beat the view :) a little on the pricey side but it's normally worth it for us! read more

Love this place, their gluten free and dairy free pizza is SO good, food is always good here. I like their salads too. It's a cute and small hole in the wall place. The only downside is they're always busy but that's ok! read more

Food was okay the location was nice since it was close to the beach but if you are looking for really good pizza maybe go somewhere else

We had the BBQ chicken pizza, the Megan's special, the Greek salad with balsamic vinaigrette, and some buffalo wings. Nothing was very good. The BBQ had almost no sauce. The Megan's was probably the best one but it also had very little in the way of sauce. The Greek salad was the worst one I've had and the worst thing we ordered. It was entirely spinach with nothing resembling Greek about it. The wings had very little coating though they were juicy and cooked well. All in all, not worth the near $80 we spent by a long shot. The wait wasn't too bad but the vibes in there were not friendly. Wouldn't return. read more

During my countless journeys to the serene San Clemente Pier, I've often strolled past Consentino's Pizza. On this trip I finally took stopped by a for a personal pepperoni pizza. I ordered a pizza, and while waiting, I couldn't help but be captivated by the panoramic view of the pier and beach. read more

Service was good. Ordered 2 pizzas, and the food came out in a couple minutes, ambiance was nice considering we had a good view of the pier, a bit of a cloudy day. However, the pizza was way too greasy, as in pick it up and it will drip grease everywhere. In fact, as I mentioned earlier, I could only finish one pizza before having to throw the other one out because thats the only slice I could eat. Could feel my arteries hardening. Overall, not a great experience considering that it's a restaurant and relies on the food to be good. read more

Love Cosentino's! You can purchase it by the slice if you're solo or a box if you're with a big party. Has cute beach front seating, and I love that the staff are always smiling and friendly! I'd recommend the 'Large Double Pepperoni Pizza drizzled w Mike's Hot Honey'! The crust isn't too thick how I like it, the honey isn't overbearing, and they actually add double pepperoni compared to other places! 10/10! read more

I found this place when visiting my friend a couple years ago. I'm not from this area I'm from Fresno, but my trip this week was in San Diego and I knew I had to come here for the pizza and view. It was just as good as I remember. Staff were friendly and I got my pizza pretty quick. I love their patio seating, you can enjoy the view. I definitely recommend. read more

The best pizza in San Clemente in my opinion (and I've tried every pizza joint). Sometimes service is fast sometimes it's slow as it's a tourist joint & mostly run by teens. Beautiful view. Love going there and walking on the pier after. read more

I've ordered the pepperoni pizza three times so far. The consistency here is really great, I'm happy I ordered here tonight, I couldn't think of what to eat so I decided here and the pizza made my night, it was great as always.

AMAZING GLUTEN FREE PIZZA! Was tipped off by another review by someone staying at the Sea Horse Resort (top floor), so we decided to try it when we stayed there, and we were delighted. There were places to eat inside, but we opted for an outdoor picnic table across the street with a romantic pier view at sunset, and enjoyed it beyond words. We will 100% be back. Yum! read more

I feel bad for the owner the staff are all high and the place is a mess. Would strongly avoid this spot.

I love this place and don't want to bring down the rating, I love the pizza and convenience being able to grab something by the beach and not spend that much money but I was in yesterday and what the hell is going on in the bathroom? It looks like it's never been cleaned.. like ever, the door is black, the walls are disgusting, poop and pee all over the toilet, you literally don't even want to wash your hands because the sink is so gross. The metal toilets at the beach are cleaner. I really love this place but come on guys. A deep cleaned once in a while would do you good. And by the way, I get that this place is very busy, employees are young and I'm not saying the floors need to be mopped every hour. Go in and look for yourself though read more

One of my favorite spots. Great people, outstanding location, and really good food!!!

Easy and fast ordering, we were staying close by and needed a snack. It was your average sports bar bites. We tried the boneless wings and mortz sticks. read more

Pros: by the beach, oven made pizza, oven made brownies, cheap pizza, brownies are huge the food & dessert were great! Order to go! The place is very busy & cramped.

I've been ordering from Cosentino's for some time. However, last night they really let me down. The pizza arrived cold and over cooked with huge bubbles on many of the slices. Basically threw half of it away. A waste of $45. I did call to let them know and they offered to make a free small pizza if I wanted to come pick it up. That didn't work for me. I'm just wondering why they would let that mistake out for delivery. I won't be ordering from them again. It's not like there aren't many choices in South OC. read more
