I think this is a hidden gem. The place looks clean. They share a space with a bakery. I have ordered the gluten free crust two topping pizza more than a few times now, and I have not been disappointed. If you just want a quick, good quality pizza, I highly recommend this place. Please do not expect a gourmet pizza. Great customer service. They also have a BOGO on Wednesdays, so that is awesome. read more

Did not have the pizza but had their ham and cheese hot sub and it was delicious! It was super messy, but good. I didn't expect there to be onions and mushrooms in it but it was a pleasant surprise. Tasted like a pizza sandwich and the bread had a little crunch on the outside but soft on the inside. It is saucy so your bread will get soggy quick if you don't eat it right away. Definitely recommend eating jt right away there. Would have loved to try the meatball sandwich but my kid did not like meatballs and we were sharing. Gotta try it next time! read more

Laventina's Big Cheese Pizza - ham & cheese hot sub - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

Solid for the price. We ordered online (it was really easy) and did the two medium one topping pizzas for $19.99. Easy peasy, can't go wrong with pepperoni. read more

This place for both Laventina's Big cheese Pizza & Rose Bakery Cafe. The cheese pizza and veggie combo pizza are absolutely delicious. On cafe site. I ordered grill chicken wrap & salad with smoothie & ice vanilla latte. My husband and I love it. The staff are super friendly, the prices are really reasonable, and the patio seating is so beautiful and cozy. My dog loves it here too. the vibe is just amazing! We came night time and patio seating was beautiful. I can already tell I'm going to be a regular. read more

This is kind of a weird review because I have to review two separate locations in the same space. The pizza was the main reason I stopped here, and ChatGPT told me they sold pizza by the slice, so that was a winner for me. When you go in, think of it as a food court. The bakery is one store, the pizza place another, even though they share the same feel and kitchen. I wanted to try their maple bar, but the pizza side couldn't ring it up. They also couldn't ring up drinks!?! We had to go to the bakery register for that. There was only one person working the counters (it was a slow Monday mid-afternoon), and she was very friendly and nice, and seemed to understand the setup was weird without saying it, so 5 stars for her. They're applying for a liquor license, which I assume will be on the pizza side? Hard to tell. The slice of pizza was sent back to the kitchen to be heated up, and I got my maple bar and a Diet Coke from the other register while I waited. It seemed to take longer than normal to reheat the pizza compared to other by-the-slice places, but that's OK. Now I have to be honest. The pizza was just OK. And if you read my reviews, I'm big on pizza! The sauce didn't have much kick and was maybe on the sweeter side, but even that was light. The cheese was good, and the crust wasn't thin or thick. It really was just cafeteria pizza. read more

Simple and delicious, brings the nostalgia of pizza from my childhood. The pepperoni and jalapeño has a kick, but if you ask for light jalapeños then it's perfection. And surprisingly it's not greasy. What?! It must be magic. read more

I had such a great experience here! Ordered a pizza with custom toppings and was very happy with my selection. Customer service was great, and the young man helping us was SO patient (u couldn't decide LOL). They were pretty busy when I came and my pizza still came out in a timely manner! Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. They had a great outdoor patio for dining in, but this was also great to take to go. Thanks for the great experience!! read more

Laventina's Big Cheese Pizza - The croissant, mini donuts and iced tea. - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

I stumbled across this cafe for a late lunch. I grabbed a couple slices of pizza, one Hawaiian and one hot pepper. Surprisingly, the pizza was really good. I say surprisingly because they have donuts, smoothies, burgers, etc. Taste reminded me of Little Caesars back in the1990s in Detroit back when the cheese was real and the pizzas came in a 2 pack in the paper packaging. I'll definitely be coming back again. read more

the pizza here is some of the best pizza i've tasted since moving to california, please give them a try! you wont be disappointed! the sauce is seriously to die for read more

Rough opening day, but if you order a full pie and pick it up fresh, it's SO GOOD! Every staff member I've interacted with has been delightful. So much of their work forces them to have their back towards you though, so you have to speak up sometimes. read more

Laventina's Pizza is hands down one of our favorite spots! The pizza is always fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and loaded with flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients every bite is so good. read more

Laventina's Big Cheese Pizza - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

I've came here on two separate occasions and was greeted with great costumer service and even better pizza. I've ordered to go and always enjoyed my pizza with my family. No complaints here and will continue to come. read more

No matter the bad reviews we decided to try this location out, since its closer to home than the newport location. First of all it was dead, we walked in and no hello no nothing. We still figured lets give it a shot. No friendly smiles no help, just order and wait. The pizza was sub par, nothing like the newport location. Here is your pizza and go, no, would u like some cheese or pepper to go, just horrible customer service. On top of it the bakery thats in there,the case was full of bugs/flies, filthy. This place is giving laventina's a bad name. read more

Laventina's Big Cheese Pizza - Only reason I gave 2 stars because the pizza was ok - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

Tried this as an option to a very crowded Baja Fish Tacos. Opted for Laventina's over Rose Bakery Cafe for no particular reason other than Laventina's seemed a better option for lunch that day. Big mistake. Incredibly slow service for starters...both while ordering and then being served.....if I hadn't of paid already I would have got up and left. I ordered the meatball sandwich. Bun was soggy, cheese wasn't even melted at all, it was a total mess to try and eat as it fell apart. Just a total fail in every way. Never going back. I may try Rose Bakery and Cafe but never Laventina's With the amount of food options available restaurants get 1 shot at retaining business....I will even make an exception if the server is extremely pleasant and helpful but neither of those applied here. read more

Live down the street so was excited to try out both Rose Bakery and Laventina's after it opened. Rose Bakery is decent. Mainly picked up baked goods like donuts and danishes. The prices are steeper than a family owned donut shop, but it tasted alright! Good, but not amazing. Workers were kind and weren't super informed on what was being sold since the place just opened. Whatever, giving them some grace. I did learn that after 3PM all baked goods are 50% off. I'd say more worth it during that time. For the Laventina's side, service was also alright. I got the vibe that the people working didn't care? The pizza quality is pretty low. Comparable to maybe iKea or Knotts cause Costco pizza is even better than what they have. One slice is $4 for cheese or pep. At the price and quality, i'd rather get a whole pie from Costco. I also noticed prices on the POS is higher than advertised on the menu. I couldn't figure why it wasn't adding up to menu prices, and didn't bother asking since everyone was care-free. Not worth the hassle. All and all, Rose i'd go back for just for the convenience. Laventina's is a pass. Newport might be a better bet for quality and service according to other reviews. read more

Laventina's Big Cheese Pizza - Lacentina's menu and display - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

I have been a long time Laventinas customer for 30 years. That being said, the cheese, sauce, toppings, etc.. is consistent with the original Newport Beach location. Of course there is always going to be growing pains with a new location so it's understandable if it isn't always perfect like the OG. Also, I could care less if I am greeted right away when I walk into this pizza-centric takeout spot since I expect the service staff to be busy working on food prep and customers orders. The ambience isn't even relevant since this isn't an actual dine-in restaurant like previous reviewers have been assuming. Keep it real Laventinas! Happy to enjoy these new locations that are closer to home. read more

Placed an order with the AI assitant. I got back home and thought the AI made a mistake taking my order. I received a ham and pineapple pizza when I had ordered a pepperoni and Ham, mind you my girlfriend is allergic to pineapple!!! I tried calling back to see if we could correct the issue but when I was transferred to the restaurant they hung up the call immediately. After i checked my receipt my order was taken properly by the AI but the workers prepared the incorrect pizza read more

Pulled up to Laventina's Pizza in Orange thinking I had self-control. That was my first mistake. Ordered "just a couple slices"... next thing I know I'm three slices deep, staring at the box like we've been through something together. The crust? Crunchier than my knees getting out of bed. The sauce? So good it definitely has a trust fund. The cheese pull? Honestly should be illegal in at least 7 states. At this point Laventina's isn't a pizza place -- it's a lifestyle choice and a mild addiction. Huge shoutout to the team for absolutely ruining my ability to enjoy average pizza ever again. Respectfully... I will be back and I will make poor decisions. 11/10 would financially and emotionally recover later. read more

Absolutely terrible experience at Laventina's Pizza. I placed an order for a large pizza and a coke and waited over 40 minutes. When I finally asked where my food was, the woman at the counter said there was "confusion" among the workers, they never made my pizza. Then, unbelievably, one of the employees admitted they thought my pizza was an extra, so one of the workers ate it. Instead of processing the refund properly, they handed me $21 cash even though I paid $23.29 on my credit card, and I never received my soda. The place was completely disorganized. All the workers clearly had no idea what they were doing. Only one lady seemed to be making an effort, but even she couldn't explain what happened. This location is not as efficient as the Newport location. This was one of the most unprofessional restaurant experiences I've ever had. Totally unacceptable. So I left and went to Chick-fil-a read more

We're huge fans of them well the Newport Beach location. This is our first time ordering from this location and honestly it was not it. The pizza looked like cafeteria school pizza and the wings were meant to be hot "spicy" but the sauce looked brown. Anyways maybe it was just a bad day to order. read more

This place is awesome. The lunch special is ridiculous. Two slices of pizza and a drink for less than $9 bucks.. And the slices are huge! Also, at most places, what you see is not what you get... Over here, you get more than what you see... The slices on display look thin... But when you get it after it's heated up... It looks twice the size... One of the best deals around, if not the best... And the pizza is perfect. read more

Was out on a walk with the hubby and we decided to negate that stroll with a slice of pizza! The very helpful and kind gal behind the counter was the main reason I came for a review. She went above and beyond in customer service and earned a customer here! Pizza was delicious and the meatball sub packed full! Location was clean and plenty of outside seating. read more

So excited to see La Vintinas out this way I have been going to the Newport location for 20 years and its always been amazing this location has been great I order online and eat in the patio with family we have been 5-6 times already the salads are good the wings are good and the pizza is great and all reasonably priced read more

-0.. Talking about disappointing! I spent almost $40 on a Large pizza and a chicken Cesar salad. The pizza tasted like something you'd get at a bowling alley. The salad had low quality chicken and it was disgusting. Hands down the worst pizza I ever had. I would NEVER go back here. They also had donuts and muffins. I got a muffin because my grandson wanted it-old and hard. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! read more

Hands down one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. From the first slice, the cheese pull was next level -- perfectly melted, stretchy, and ridiculously satisfying. You know it's good when you lift a slice and the cheese just keeps going. read more

I'm so happy Laventina's has a location in Orange!! Closer to me than Newport Beach! Hands down the BEST PIZZA IN OC!!! Love my pizza sauce sweet and slightly sour and this spot makes it just right!! When fresh, their mozzarella cheese gives the cheese pull texture and their spaghetti sauce is perfectly made! Love this place!!! read more

If you want the real experience go to Newport this place seems very slow and the same pizza looks like it's been sitting there for hours on the window and pizza did not taste good at all waste of $35 and they take priority to their coworkers that are not even working there right now you order early and he comes in and he gets his stuff faster than you. It's crazy. read more

I walked in with my co worker. We waited to be greeted. An employee "Joa" was sweeping and saw us standing said can I help you? I said yes can we place an order and he said alright hold on. Before we ordered We asked if we can use the same coupon for 2 lunch meals and he said Nah. Ok no problem. My co worker used it. I pulled out another coupon for a medium pizza from their mailers and he said we can not use it because we are the same party: we said no we are separate, and his response was Whatever Let me ask my manager bro. By this time my co worker was mad and said cancel my order please. His Manager Manuel came over to process the refund and "Joa" was kinda whatever laughing here and there chuckling as the manager was serious trying to help us. Manager looking at him giving him hand signs to stop or relax. But Joa didn't care, he kept on being a whatever youngster. I Do Not recommend this pace. Immature employee, inexperienced no customer service. I don't expect to go back to this place if that kid is employed there. They lost 2 customers over 9.99 pizza and Joas inexperience of handling this. That explains why is was not busy. People give them 1 chance and don't go back, I ended up going to Baja Fish and enjoyed a much better lunch. read more

To a place so near and dear to my heart Big Cheese always is the best. To the staff to the food it's always on point! Staff is the most friendly and funny from the Orange location to Newport. The vibes and atmosphere are what makes this place a go too. 11/10 would come back (duh it's the best) read more

So many great flavors, and also I was able to build my on! My recommendation is the Hawaiian one!

Amazing pizza. Great staff and you can even get yourself a sweet treat as well! my cheese pull on my pizza required me to stand up to continue the cheese pull. 10/10 recommend! Great mellow ambiance for a great date night. read more

This place is incredible. We drive to Newport Beach to buy pizza all the time. Glad they're in town. We never had a bad experience like the others but I can see a new staff for there 3rd location needs to be trained. The Newport staff is supper friendly and kind of I recommend to give them a try. If you notice the reviews are on service not in the pizza itself. The wings and pizza are A+, let them tighty up the staff and it will be worth it. read more

Very unorganized and the pizza was very bad. Costco pizza sucks and this is way worse. Bowling alley pizza at best! I was really looking forward to it as I live in the complex right behind it but nope! First and last trip! read more
