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.

Quick bite or chill! Service always is good! The pizza here is delicious and so are the meatballs!!! Great way to finish off your day after being at the beach the whole day!

Nice spot for dine in, convenience, and vibes. Cant beat the breeze/ocean view. I need 85 characters to publish

Pizza - yummmmmm

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!

Very busy today being the 4th of July. Service was fast, and the pizza was great. I'll be back.

Great place to grab a whole pizza next to the pier. The service was fast but it was a weekday. The pizza was pretty good. Crust and bottom were crispy. Sauce was good. I would stop here again!

Veggie pizza medium

The veggie is so good and the artichokes they put on it are super flavorful def a good spot to pick up a pizza and watch the sunset

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.

Works Supreme Pizza

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.

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!!

Fig Goat Cheese Pizza (10")

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.

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!

Parlor has been on my San Clemente list for 2 years. And now that we've lived here for 4 1/2 months…read morewe were due for a visit. We picked my birthday of all nights! Our waitress name was Claire and we hit the jackpot. So personable, friendly and made the night super special. We also met the manager/operator Joe. He made us feel like we were weekly locals and welcomed us with open arms! We want to come back ASAP just to see Claire and Joe again! Special people. The food, OMG this place is such a gem. We started with the Herloom Tomato Burrata appetizer which was very good. This fresh tomatoes (which needed a pinch more of some crunchy sea salt) with a light pesto, micro greens and burrata. Perfect combo eating bites with the grilled sourdough they bring along side. If you have Claire she'll bring you fresh butter and hot honey. Pro tip!!! This combo is undefeatable. And the wings. They are all half flats, extra crispy in a spicy and sweet sauce. Very very yummy. That blue cheese needs a little thickening but besides that, FIRE! Next we got the Organic Arugula salad with hazelnuts, shaved pecorino and mint. Damn this salad was sleeper hit. Eat it with your pizza, the richness needs something to cut through it, this salad! We got the wild mushroom Pizza which Claire recommended, which ABSOLUTELY blew me away. So perfect crispy yet perfectly chewy at the same time. I think this is my new fav pizza in all of OC. Lucky me I live 1.7 miles away. OMG ya'll this pizza is worth a 2 hour drive to get here! To end the meal for my birthday they surprised us with a Panna Cotta. Beautiful like a perfect creme bruele in a latte cup topped with a nut sort of crumble and a mint leaf. PERFECT ending to an absolutely perfect meal. Thank you Parlor for making my 48th birthday one to remember. We cannot wait to come back soon.

Let me start off by saying that I am a foodie and when I post about a restaurant, it is 90% about…read morethe food, but I will preface this review with praising the Staff and the venue. Beautiful venue, very friendly Staff. Started off with the charred garlic bread, which was delicious My husband got his chicken Alfredo and I got my Caesar salad with shrimp. His pasta meal was delivered before my salad was prepared and it was barely warm so he asked for it to be heated up. To their credit they remade it but even then it was sooooo average that he joked to me that a frozen Marie calendars old have been better Now to MY Salad I have eaten countless Caesar salads in my life and I am a seafood superfan This was my entree. I expected it to at least be delicious. It was not delicious. When I ordered my salad I noticed the menu said that the salad included anchovies so I asked for a few extra anchovies be thrown on Salad arrived.... NO ANCHOVIES- NONE The wait person even joked with me that most people ask for NO anchovies and he loved that I wanted extra The final blow I paid more to have shrimp put on my salad. There was a choice of chicken steak or shrimp. They were clearly large shrimp/prawns I am a seafood lover, and I knew my first bite in that something was off Immediate ammonia, smell and taste That was it. I was done. Overall- great venue and wait staff but TERRIBLE food

We sat on a booth. the server had an accent, almost felt as if I was in Belgium. he took care of our orders but we never saw him again afterwards so his service wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. we ordered few things: 1) beef carpaccio- looked like any other beef carpaccio dish but this one wasn't as good. the meat wasn't cut as thinly as others. it was adequate dish but nothing great. 2) small mussels and fries- pretty good. wish there was more pieces for $29 3) pork shank- the presentation was avg. But this dish was fantastic. the meat fell off the bone, literally. meat was very tender. great dish. 4) beef bourguignon- very good dish too. not salty like most places. meat was flavorful and tender. 5) brazino- not bad but I've had better. felt like the skin needed to be crispier. 6) Profiteroles au chocolat- I've never had this before. amazing dessert. perfect. the ice cream inside the dough, choux pastry, was superb.

Reason I give a 2 is because it gives zero menu options for vegan/plant based diets. Everything must be modified. It was a struggle to find something to eat and felt awkward to be in spotlight with my guests. The kale & quinoa salad was not appealing. I ordered Thai salad no chicken and veggie sandwich. Waitress said Thai salad dressing had fish oil and couldn't be put on side as option since noodles were pre made with it so that was nixed. Veggie sandwich-frying oil is cross contaminated in meat so I couldn't get onions or fries, bread has dairy in it so I had to get sourdough (which they used butter on and had to be exchanged out). I believe the side of asparagus I ordered was drenched in butter (which I didn't return so I didn't create spotlight with guests ) . I've given feedback several times to please add menu options for humane eaters like myself. Until then, I won't be returning.. Please and thank you.
