    Came for the vibes stayed for the pizza. Service was quick, our server took our drink and pizza order right when we got in. The pizza took some time before it came out, but my god was it delicious. The pizza was unique and tasty. The crust had a nice texture when chewing and held together well.

    Had to take some back entrance to this speakeasy since it is behind a pizza shop. The drinks were good, but nothing amazing. The ambiance was pretty cool. Not a huge space, but was lucky to get a spot at the bar. I enjoyed my experience, but would probably go to other speakeasys since I wasn't in love with the drinks.

    Speakeasy located near the parking lot behind Pitfire Pizza. It's a dimly intimate space with a hustling/bustling atmosphere. Surprisingly loud for a speakeasy with limited seating inside and outside. When I think Speakeasy, I think crafted drinks. To my disappointment the cocktails were subpar. Perfect Paloma - I had high expectations of this because of the name "perfect". It was an average tasting Paloma with a very feint grapefruit flavor from the Fever Tree Grapefruit soda they use. Far from feeling like a crafted drink, and tasted a bit watered down. Green Tea Whisky Sour - Tasted sorta like a sherbet float because of the egg white texture and sweet/sour notes. I didn't taste the green tea at all. There's a lot of carb options to complement your drinking pleasure - pasta, pizzas, breads galore. We didn't try the food but will definitely try if we ever come back. Service was friendly and attentive enough despite the busy crowd.

    Such a fun place to go to! The drinks are well priced and delish. The pizza and wings are also pretty yummy.

    The chopped salad was delicious! The chicken pesto pizza was delicious! The crust was perfection! The bartender was really creative and my mezcal old fashioned was really good! The decor is mid-century modern, with retro signs, very cool dive bar. Definitely come here for the vibe. You won't be disappointed.

    Great bar comfort food with epic drinks. It's one of the better speak easy bars. The drinks are phenomenal and the service is exceptional. I love the sign "sip down and stay humble." The staff and vibe is mellow and humble. Love it.

    First time trying pie society and it did not disappoint! It's right behind Pit Fire pizza building with a bright sign. The place is small but pretty roomy for small groups with a bar and has a cool eclectic vibe. The pizza was sooo good and tastes 100% fresh and authentic. Like the crust, cheese and that sauce, ugh, you just have to try for yourself! The cocktails are carefully crafted and also very good. Overall it's a nice little spot to check out and enjoy if you're ever in Costa Mesa and craving a delicious pizza and cocktail.

    I absolutely love this little speakeasy. Just had my company Christmas party here and it was perfect. I used to be in the industry and I love the team's cocktail knowledge and execution. They are always so so nice. We always have a great experience here.

    Really cool spot! We couldn't find the entrance at first but the ambiance was cool and the drinks were good. A pretty small spot but service was good!

    For a "speakeasy", it was more of a speak loudly...it was a busy and loud night. We went on a Saturday night around 9pm and it was CROWDED. Also sticky. They do not limit the amount of people coming in like other speakeasy's, so the crowd, noise and overall feel was very dive bar-like. Luckily we found a table with enough stools for a group of 4 and went up to the bar to order since it didn't seem like there was any table service... But it did take us a while to get situated in this space, as in -- find seating, figure out if theres a menu and where we can get one, if there is table service and so on. Drinks did not impress us either. No draft beers, only cans. But we do want to come back and try the pizza from the adjoining space since that did look good.....and they have beers on tap. If we could have ordered pizzas while at pie society,, we wouldn't have known since no staff informed us. Tldr: not great for big parties, there is a parking lot, and it gets busy since there is no limit to capacity or reservation. I would not categorize this as a speakeasy, only maybe on a day where capacity is at 10 and not 40 in a small space like here. If you just want a nice space for pizza and beers, skip this place and just make the stop at pit fire next door.

    Ask the Community - Pie Society

    Is it kids friendly?

    Absolutely! You can find our kids menu online- we do pizza making parties too!

    Is this place no longer in business? I was excited to go, but could not find it for the life of me. Then I called and the number was no longer operating?

    I just passed there last week and they were open! There's a speakeasy and the restaurant. Their number listed on google was in service for me but they don't open until 5 pm!

    How is the outdoor seating? I only see 5 pictures on here, is that how small the space is?

    Pie Society has a small patio on the side of the building, and Pitfire Pizza (the attached restaurant) has another patio in the front that's a lot bigger.

    Are reservations necessary and how do we book them?? I tried calling but I got a wrong answer.

    Nope.. just walk in.. and then sit down

    Do you have to be 21+ to enter?

    Yes, this is a 21+ establishment. However, you can be under 21 and enter the Pitfire Pizza that's attached to it.

    Does the food happy hour change daily? What are the specials or is there a menu you can post?

    Do they have happy hour and if so details?

    Hi! Yes we do, all night on Monday 5pm-Close and then Tuesday-Thursday 4-7pm.… Read more

Luckily, the gentleman manning the bar during my most recent visit was very friendly. Drinks are always great. I've tried a variety of drinks from the menu here, but my favorites are: -Love in Drunk, a lovely cocktail with cucumber and grapefruit flavors that create a fresh watermelon taste when mixed together -Bee's Knees, short but strong and sweet -London Mule, very herbal thanks to the gin and very refreshing

I am so glad I did, especially since it was happy hour. The place definitely has a great vibe to it. Plenty of seating throughout the restaurant. I recommend sitting at the bar as that's where all the action happens. You definitely want to make sure you get there for happy hour and Taco Tuesday especially, $10 Margaritas $4 tacos and these are not cheap tacos. These are like serious tacos that will fill you up. Their salsa is great, not super spicy and makes great for munching while you're talking with friends. The margaritas are definitely strong, which is nice, as some places tend to water them down for happy hour. I would say that this is a great choice to go check out and have a taco or two or three or four. I had the carne asada, the carnitas, and the pastor, every single one of them was perfect and the salsa that they came with was out of this world. Bottom line? This is a great place for Taco Tuesday as well as just a hangout and have a drink after work. Whenever I am in Costa Mesa. I am definitely coming here again.
