Super yummy would get again! Pizza is pretty cheap and quick service! Definitely give it a try

Surprised by rating scores on this one cause to me they were really solid! Me and my sister came here for lunch around 11am. No wait or anything and it's located in a spacious strip mall with plenty of parking. The place itself is pretty small but there's plenty of seating outdoors We walked in with the girl at the front busy making pizza boxes and I browsed through the pizza they had on display. They had slices for $5 and stuffed knotts for $4. Awesome! I ordered the shroomster and stuffed garlic knott with spinach. The girl at front picked the slice and the knot and put them into the pizza oven. Order took about 3-4 mins to come out ready. I arrive home and tried the knott first. Very warm and paired with the marinara sauce it was so delicious! Would definitely recommend trying them here! Next was the pizza, as I don't live that far from the area, the pizza was already cold. I do have to knock a star on that but other than that the pizza was delicious! I paid around $10 for everything. I think they do a meal with 2 slices and a drink for around a similar price. Overall I would consider coming back even though the pizza slice was cold when I got home and checking out the more filling meat lovers pizza here (called the Hulk haha ). Again surprised for the low ratings but idk the girl upfront was nice and the food was delicious. Some things could be improved but definitely check this place out to get your pizza fix! read more

Mr Moto Pizza - The Square - Shroomster and Stuffed garlic knot!! Yum! - Pizza Near Me - Irvine, California

Came to Mr. Moto Pizza at The Square in Irvine and went straight for the variety pie -- one box with 8 slices, 8 different flavors. Perfect when no one can agree on just one. The slices were loaded and the crust had that nice chewy-crisp bite. We also got their famous stuffed garlic knots -- golden, cheesy, gone in minutes -- plus a creamy pasta on the side. read more

This was about two weeks ago, but man, what a terrible experience. I came in thinking I could quickly grab two slices from one of the three different pies they had out. Boy, was I wrong. Turns out none of those were actually available, and they were sold out, so they had to bake entirely new pies. Even worse, they didn't tell me this until after I had already paid. What was supposed to be a 10-minute wait turned into 20 minutes, and to top it all off, they forgot one of my slices. The cashier told me she'd throw in an additional slice for all the hassle, but never followed through on that either. After making a long drive to come here, the whole experience was incredibly disappointing. I definitely would not recommend this place. In fact, if pizza ever comes up in conversation, I'll probably make an effort to not recommend this joint. read more

The pizzas were rly solid, I like the options they have. Some were sold out by the time we went so we didn't get to try a few but the ones we did try were fire! The garlic knots could be skipped, not super garlic and flavorful and tasted doughy as well. read more

Mr Moto Pizza - The Square - Mama moto, California - Pizza Near Me - Irvine, California

Came to Mr. Moto Pizza for some New York style pizza togo. Love that they have so many options, and you can even mix up to 8 different slice flavors to make a whole pizza! My favorites were the Piece of Art with pepperoni, stracciatella, basil, spicy honey & shaved Parmesan. The perfect balance of savory, creamy, fresh basil, and a little spicy sweet kick. And the Mama Moto with burrata, truffle oil, parsley & cherry tomatoes on their homemade garlic paste base. Loved the garlicky flavor, fresh tomatoes, and the subtle hint of truffle from the oil. Their garlic knots and stuffed knots are so good too, especially dipped in their creamy, delicious ranch! What we ordered: -Large Pepperoni Pizza -Mr. Moto Special (8 Slices: Mama Moto, California Love, Cheese, Pepperoni, Rocky Mountains, The Hulk, Piece of Art, Shroomster) -Garlic Knots -Stuff Knots (pepperoni, jalapeno, mozzarella) -Stuff Knots (spinach, ricotta, mozzarella) -Kombucha (mango masala) read more

I recently stopped by Mr. Moto Pizza in Irvine and had a great experience! If you're looking for New York style pizza, this spot is definitely worth a visit. We ordered the garlic knots, the 30 Rocky Mountain pizza, a chicken Caesar salad, chicken Alfredo, and the buffalo wings. The garlic knots were soft, buttery, and full of garlic flavor. The 30 Rocky Mountain pizza was my favorite with spicy honey, meatballs, and creamy ricotta that all paired together so well. The chicken Caesar salad was fresh and generously topped with chicken. The chicken Alfredo was rich, creamy, and comforting, and the buffalo wings had a nice kick without being too spicy. The food came out fresh, the portions were generous, and the staff was friendly. Whether you're in the mood for pizza, pasta, wings, or a salad, Mr. Moto Pizza has something for everyone. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu! read more

Absolutely delicious New York style pizza. The flavors are fresh, high quality and lots of layers of flavors on each pizza. My favorite was the extra virgin which is basically a margherita pizza. It was so good! Prices are typical. They have seats right outside. Service was not super friendly but it was quick and thorough. read more

If you're looking for authentic New York-style pizza in Orange County, Mr. Moto's Pizzeria in Irvine is definitely worth a visit. They have an incredible variety of specialty slices, so it's the perfect spot if everyone in your group wants to try something different. We ordered a mix of their signature slices, including The Hulk, Extra Virgin, California Love, Lobster Bisque, Piece of Art, Shroomster, and Mamma Moto. Each slice had its own unique flavor, and the crust was exactly what you'd want from NY-style pizza (thin, crispy on the bottom, yet still soft and chewy). We also tried the Caesar Salad, which was fresh and a great lighter option to pair with the pizza. The real surprise, though, was the stuffed knots. We ordered the Spinach, Ricotta & Mozzarella and the Pepperoni, Jalapeño & Mozzarella versions, and both were warm, cheesy, and packed with flavor. They're a must-order if you're visiting for the first time. I'll definitely be back to try even more of the menu! read more

I've had Mr Moto in San Diego and fell in love with the variety of flavors and quality of pizza so I'm glad they opened one in Irvine!!! We ordered so many flavors: The Hulk, California Love, The Shroomster, Extra Virgin, and Piece of Art. We also ordered a calzone, 12 wings, and garlic knots! Highlyyyy recommend the Shroomster as that was my fave. The wings were also delicious and flavorful. I love how they make their pizzas crispy and am always down for a New York slice. There's no seating indoors, but there's plenty of seating outside which was perfect because we brought our dog. Service was helpful and we will be back! read more

Tried out Mr Moto Pizza to go along with some Spooky flicks and it was a solid pairing! The pies have very robust flavor combinations they are definitely generous with their unique toppings. Bit on the floppy side but the sauce and toppings make up for it, solid pie overall : Mr Moto - Italian sausage, Spanish chorizo, burrata cheese, Chunky tomato dots with homemade garlic paste base. Piece of Art - Pepperoni, Basil, Burrata, Parmesan, Reggianito and Spicy honey. read more

Good fresh ingredients. Pizza felt lighter than other pizzas I have had. But taste wise, it was more on the bland side than flavorful. Service was good and ambiance was basic. I would possibly give them a try again. read more

Mr Moto Pizza - The Square - Piece Of Art - Pizza Near Me - Irvine, California

No indoor seating, staff was great, service was so quick (since we got slices, pasta took 10 minute tops). Appreciated all the sauces! + Mr Moto Special ($38 for 8 mix and match slices): perfect for a group. All slices were thin crusted and crispy. The margherita pizza was perfectly tomato-sweet (7.7/10). Mr moto was very savory, but liked how meaty it was (7/10) + Caesar salad add chicken: chicken was very salty but appreciate a decent sized salad to balance the pizzas (5/10) + Garlic knot: would pass, quite dense and could be fluffier even when fresh (5/10) + Stuffed Garlic knot: get the spinach cheese filled one! Amazing herby, cheesy flavor (8/10) read more

Tried Mr. Moto Pizza and it definitely hits when you're craving something quick, filling, and flavorful. The slices are big and have that classic crispy-on-the-bottom, soft-on-the-inside texture. I went with a couple different slices and they were all solid--good amount of cheese, sauce wasn't too heavy, and everything tasted fresh. It's not trying to be super fancy, just really good pizza done right. What stood out is how consistent it is. You know exactly what you're getting and it delivers every time. Perfect for a quick bite, late night food, or just something reliable. Service was fast and easy, and the vibe is super casual--nothing crazy, just grab your slice and go. Overall, solid go-to pizza spot. Nothing overcomplicated, just good pizza that satisfies. read more

Amazing pizzas! I'm still blown away that you can actually create a custom box - not just a build your own - but select 8 flavors of pizza. Who said you can't have it all?! My favorites were the furious Diablo, California love, Lobsta 4 (flavor of the month for June and July), and piece of art! I came back the same week to grab a whole furious Diablo for our 4th of July lunch, it was so good. I like how they don't over flavor it, it's perfect. There's no indoor seating at this location, but there's plenty of seating area outside! read more

Stopped by for lunch since it was near by my office. A quick pick up for my to go order. Lunch special was available to get two slices and a drink. There is no seating inside because of the outside seating available for common use. The decor was warm with the sliced pizzas displayed for selection. I got the piece of art as part of all the hot honey craze. The pizza was sweet but didn't have enough spiciness. Solid place to pick up pizza for lunch. read more

Super stoked that this pizza joint came to OC! Going to San Diego, Mr. Moto's was always a stop for me. The New York style pizza is the perfect blend of crispy and doughy. My two personal favorites are the piece of art and the Rocky Mountains. What are they? I honestly have no clue, but trust me, try it! The piece of art is basically a pepperoni pizza with basil, parm, and hot honey. So good! Don't forget the garlic knots! It honestly seems boring, but once you try it, you'll be hooked. I recommend it with ranch, but they have it with marinara too. Service-wise, the staff was professional. Patient with me trying to decide what pizza to get and hooked it up with the ranch! The place alone has counters inside to eat, and also has plenty of outdoor seating. Not really much for indoor seating, but plenty of outdoor with shade. It is missing the grittiness that the SD locations have but that'll come over time. Check it out for a quick slice! You'll love it. read more

Saw this new pizza joint over by JWA, so we had to give it a try of course. Ordered 3 pizza's: Mr Moto, Mission BLVD and Hulk. My favorite was the Mission BLVD even though it was all veggies. The crust was a bit soggy on it, I think if you got it well done, it should be better. The Mr Moto and Hulk were both a tad on the salty side. I wasn't a fan of the ricotta they add once the pie is taken out of the oven. Pricing on them is on the high end, about the same as SGT Pepperoni for reference. It's located in the same plaza as Paderia Bakehouse/Starbucks/ Clucks. Can get busy in that plaza during peak times and I would imagine parking can be bad. There is also parking in the back area, by Starbucks. Overall, it's decent pizza. I would give it s 3.5/5 and would come back. read more

We got the California love & mr hulk, both were good but I enjoyed the California love more! It's great value for quality! $5 a slice & they have deals like $13 for 2 slices with a drink Need to come back to try the garlic rolls. I wish they had more unique options but it's still a great spot read more

Starting at $5 for a slice, it's pretty good! The pizza crust is more fluffy with a crisp, a little less "condensed" than Terra Mia.. Marinara isn't as good as Sgt pepperoni. Wings tasted better than the pizza. $12/20 and they were meaty! Took 15 min to make them. Even with sauce on the side, they're still flavorful without. chicken bacon ranch pizza 4/5 It was definitely indulgent with the white sauce, and flavorful from the bacon. Meatball ricotta pizza 3/5 decent and not dry, but the red sauce is nothing to write home about. I didn't like how their ricotta is more whipped and smooth, I prefer mine gritty, feels more cheesy! Garlic knot 2/5 Too doughy and not recommended. Don't waste your cals! In the cheaper pizza world, I would choose Terra Mia, but for convenience this isn't bad at all. Service is friendly and parking is easy! read more

No indoor seating. This place is basically a storefront with plenty of outdoor shared seating from neighboring businesses. Service is okay. Front staff taking order wasn't very friendly, but wasn't rude either. Ordered 4 slices of pizza and some knots. Was asked to look over my order on the screen to confirm. I did.... Waited about 10 minutes for my order to be heated up and when I sat down, I noticed my order was incorrect. Also, when they handed me the pizza box, I wasn't offered any utensils or paper plates. I wasn't even advised to where I can grab them. Again, I think the staff can work on improving their customer service just a tad bit. I understand that many patrons are repeat customers, but I was not. I also understand that being a small store, I could probably figure out where everything is. However, the friendliness factor was lacking. Pizza was good. Slices are thin, but toppings are generous. read more

I was on a work trip and found this place driving from the airport. I had tried Mr moto pizza in Orange and it was phenomenal. When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by staff.

This place is absolutely amazing I can't get enough! This is my second time back since they've opened and have tried a few different items now. This time I got the California love pizza with buffalo wings. The California love was absolutely incredible I love how big the large is and how nicely done the crust is. It's full of flavor and every bite has something to offer. The buffalo wings are great as well with a nice crisp to the wing. The wings do not come pre tossed in the sauce ( I assume that's to keep them crispy) but I used the buffalo as a dip and it was phenomenal! I do have a couple of notes I just wish the wings themselves were a bit more seasoned if they are going to be left undressed with the sauce but other than that great! Service was nice and quick I showed up when the app said I should and my order was ready for pick up! The place is located near a bunch of other food options that share the outdoor seating area. It's a nice quiet place and a hot spot for the lunch hour. read more

I can probably say this is the best New York Pizza in Orange County right now. Been wanting to try them for a few weeks . I love the piece of art pie. But California Love was a little too garlicky for my taste. Ordered half and half large pie and it took about 20 minutes. Tasted great and quality of ingredients was high. Make sure to get your pizza well done if you like it crispy. Only issue was with ordering, the person taking the order could not understand what I meant by half-and-half, super strange. We eventually made it work out when somebody else came to her rescue. The other guy was super nice and knowledgeable. I think he was the main Pizza maker or the dough stretcher. Overall great pizza and will come back again and again. Just want them to keep making pizza with the same quality in a few months. read more

I'm a sucker for New York-style pizza, and I grabbed a classic cheese slice to try while I was in the plaza picking up another order. I'd rate it somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. I like that the pizza isn't super greasy and the ingredients seem fresh. The slice was light, and the crust had a nice light crisp (not floppy), but I felt like it was lacking flavor, maybe it needed a bit more salt?! The crust tasted a little bland to me. Overall, not a bad slice, and I do want to come back to try other slices or a whole pie. I'll update the review then. It's located in a plaza, so parking was easy. It was busy during the lunch hour, and there's plenty of outdoor seating. Service was fast. There's no indoor seating, but there is a small stand-up counter where you can eat your slices. read more

Honestly the only reason I keep coming back here is because the pizza is so good. Best New York style slices in the area hands down, so it has become my regular lunch spot during the week. Knocked off a star purely for the customer service. Every single time I come in, the staff just seems completely standoffish and annoyed that I'm standing there. I get that it's a quick counter service place and not a sit down restaurant, but I come here all the time and always end up feeling like a total bother just ordering food. Still waiting for the day I walk in and don't feel like an inconvenience. Slices are 10/10 though so I'll still be back. Just wish the energy at the counter matched how good the food is. read more

Super yummy pizza! I tried the Mr. Moto and The Hulk. The slices were pretty big. They had had crispy thin crust that was also soft. The garlic knots were hot and delicious! The marinara dipping sauce was warm and fresh. Came by on a late Saturday afternoon and there was no wait. Just a couple of minutes to receive my order. The staff were very nice and welcoming. The interior was decorated for Halloween. There was plenty of outdoor seating available, but no indoor seating. Can't wait to come back again! read more

My wife arrived at 4:15 for a scheduled pizza pickup. The person at the register said he had "no idea" where the order was. After checking, he confirmed they had simply forgotten it. They then took 30 minutes to make the pizzas. One was made incorrectly, so she had to wait another 30 minutes. An hour of her time was wasted due to preventable negligence. A look at other reviews shows this is not an isolated incident. Treat customers better or you will lose them. read more

Another disappointing visit to Mr. Moto in Irvine. The pizza is pretty and from NY and know good NY pizza. My first visit early this week, I order 2 slices and a salad to go. When I got home I found only one slice. Luckily, I live close and I went back. - Today, I called in an order of 4 slices, pasta and desert. The girl said I can't order slices on phone, I have get what they have when I get there. They also don't take slices online orders. Ridiculous! I realized that 4 slices costs $2 less than a whole pie. You would think maybe the could mention that when making the order? So I called back to upgrade my order. NO ANSWER. I called 15 times over 25 minutes. So I had to order when I got there and wait another 20 minutes. - When I asked why they don't enter the phone. Hey girl said they're too busy. - When I ordered the whole pie, I asked for half pepperoni, and she said, they don't do halves?? Crazy terrible service! read more

I came here Two days in a row! I really loved the simplicity and quality of the pizza ingredients. And the cook pops your slices in the oven to get that perfect crunchy, pipping hot bite- it's the best! And the deal- 2 slices and a drink for $9, can't beat it! read more

Love Mr. Moto! The pizza has the perfect crispy crust and fluffy, airy edges.
