Our favorite place! The best pizza and salad. Kid friendly too. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

I placed an order ON the actual website. It then directed me to DoorDash for the delivery option. I placed the order at 7:12pm and I am still waiting for 2 pizzas and 1 salad. I called and they said "oh, well it says we received your order @ 8:05pm". PLEASE SEE the email I received from the actual restaurant attached. No remorse or genuine apology. RIDICULOUS. I've had 2 DoorDash drivers already cancel and one said "I wouldn't order from this place again, they screw up all the time" Never will I ever. So sad because the food is great. Service.. needs to change. Especially for an almost $60 order! Ridiculous. read more

Pitfire Pizza - Time that I ordered - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The pizza is just okay, but nearly impossible to grasp. If you pick up a slice it falls apart big time. The crust is okay, a little too overcooked for my liking. I heard the family next to me make the same complaint that it borderline tastes burnt. The cheese on this pizza is tasty. After I placed my order at 12 right when they opened, my pizza came 50 minutes later. I don't know bout yall but thats a pretty long time to wait for pizza considering there was only one person ahead of me with 2 pizzas. Once the pizza finally comes I am starving.. I ask if they have any ranch. Five minutes later he comes by with ranch, and leaves a receipt on the table. Keep in mind he did not inform me it was an extra charge. He doesn't say anything just awkwardly leaves it there while I'm eating. Really? To me that's just being cheap. I wait almost an hour for one pizza and you bring a receipt for a 75 cent ranch? Lol. It just seemed very petty to me and the man had a petty vibe. Trust me, I don't mind paying for ranch, and if I knew when I was placing my order I would've paid for it all together then. But to bring the receipt for 75 cents, after making a customer wait nearly an hour for pizza? That was extremely petty and I did not like his vibe or attitude at all. It was not a pleasant experience and I most likely will not be returning.... Most places don't charge for ranch anyways. Lol. Weird. read more

Pitfire Pizza - SAUSAGE PARTY - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The service here was extremely good. Everyone was very friendly and there was prompt service. We went there in the evening, so everything seemed dark. While there was plenty of seating when we got there, I could see there being an issue or a wait as soon as we were able to find a seat to eat. The pizza was pretty good. However, I did order one of their most popular pizzas and it came with ricotta, but there was an entire slice of pizza that didn't have any ricotta on it, but when looking at different pictures of the pizza from other reviews, it looks like they just didn't add as much on mine. I think they also take a lot of pride in their house made ranch which cost nearly 2 dollars for a little few ounces of it. Not to mention it tasted a lot like blue cheese without the chunks of blue cheese in it. I do not like blue cheese, so someone else might like this ranch dressing more than I did overall it was a decent experience. read more

If you want Burnt, garbage-worthy pizza, come here! Check you're receipts, too.. there's some type of surcharge that's added to the bill with no explanation. read more

Used to be a favorite spot for events parties birthdays etc but over the past year or so the service & manner of the staff has declined to a degree that is unacceptable... to use a mild term. Mountain Mikes across the street has excellent service so that's our go to now. To be clear the service at Pitfire seems intentionally rude. Additionally they have some absurd California 3% charge to all orders that you can choose to decline but who wants to deal with that! Probably the main reason i'll not go back. read more

We moved to CM 6 months ago. Decided to try Pitfire a few months ago. The first issue we had was that they gave us the wrong pizza. With that being said, the salad was good. We decided to give it another try recently, figuring mistakes happen. We ordered ahead of time, a medium pizza and salad. Showed up 35 minutes after the order was placed and waited almost another 30 minutes. The guy apologized and was very nice. The salad was good again but the pizza was mediocre at best. Too many other pizza options around for us to want to go back. read more

Yeah, the pizza is fantastic, there are no words to add to the hundreds of positive reviews about the pies (but if anchovies are your thing, we highly recommend the Field Mushrooms pizza, which amplifies the anchovy taste.) The real find here was the shaved kale salad, which had red onion, aged cheese, and golden raisins soaked in vinegar, sugar, and hot peppers. We will definitely return! read more

Pitfire Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This place is really cute! Lots of bright colors and trendy designs We ordered: Margherita Pizza Sausage Party Pizza I really liked the balsamic drizzle on the Sausage Party Pizza. It added a nice sweetness to the pie. Both pizzas seemed to use more Parmesan cheese over the traditional mozzarella, so the cheese was more crumbly than stringy. Also, both pies seems to use a seasoned sauce, which I enjoyed. However, I wouldn't have expected the margherita to use a seasoned sauce. We thought the margarita was more like a cheese pizza than the traditional margherita pizza. I personally was starting to feel a little bit of heartburn and acid reflux after the meal, so if you're predisposed to symptoms like this, this pizza probably isn't for you. Overall, I think this place is great for happy hour, if you're feeling up for some non- traditional pizza and beer read more

This place is a gem! Let's start with the fact that they have TONS of parking which is rare in this area and the building and interior itself are both functional and have a great vibe. Vanessa helped me pick the Caesar salad with chicken and WOW. I will now crave that salad every single day. Thanks Vanessa! I haven't had service like yours in a long time and appreciated you going above and beyond (on top of refills, informative, helpful, kind). We also got the IYKYK pizza and the boneless wings. WOW. 10/10/10/10. I've driven by this spot a ton but had yet to try it until today and will be a returning customer. Advice to management?!: Do more marketing. This place has potential for soooo much more. read more

The first time my family and I have tried this place was when we came for the painting event they held on Saturday. I thought it would be a fun activity to paint with my daughter and my girlfriend and her daughter. We tried the food and it was amazing. I don't think we ordered anything we did not like. The Sangria was also delicious. I think the food that stood out the most was Honey Bear pizza. It was good, both my girlfriend and I ordered seconds to bring home to our husbands. Today was my daughter's 3rd birthday and she loves the Honey Bear pizza so we travelled all the way to Costa Mesa and ordered 2 pies. Unfortunately, the pizza were burnt. I know you're probably asking why I still have them 5 stars and it is because of how they handled the situation. Honestly, in the 7 times we have gone here, they have never disappointed. So when I called and spoke to Dave, he resolved the problem immediately. He said it was a mistake, apologized and said he would talk to the kitchen. THAT IS EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. He was apologetic and showed empathy towards the situation! I will be back and will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family!! MUST TRY!! read more

Pizza is very ordinary. Had roasted Cauliflower as an appetizer and it was below average bordering inedible. Young crowd is nice but very loud inside. I will give them a break on that cause I am older. Won't go again cause I expect better. read more

not sure what's going on at this location, used to be great, but last few times, something is definitely off what it used to be, sadly!!! Tonight I ordered online, and waited past my pick up time, when asked what it took so long, was told the corn takes longer... the Charred corn? this corn I got wasn't charred, so not sure why it took so long? And in the meantime, my salad sat on top of the hot soup and spaghetti while I waited, warm salad isn't very inviting and should have been added at the end once to order was completed! Also there was good size piece of plastic in my spaghetti, so tacky!‍. And the bean soup is usually puréed to a thick consistency, not so tonight... everything is off here, shame, cause I used to really like it!!! read more

There was one consistent female waiter that assisted our waiter by being available for us to ask for help. She knew what she was doing. Upon entering the restaurant, no one is ever at th4 cash register or hosting. I have only ordered take-out from this place 2 other times, and every time I pick-up it takes a while for someone to notice a customer waiting around the corner to figure out how the restaurant is being run. When it comes to customer service, you get better service at an IHOP. The food is great. To complete the order, the restaurant wants to charge extra for ranch and refills (I overheard the table next to me with the waiter). When I order take-out, these items are included. At the restaurant, you can see the panels of the lower roof filled with thick dust. The windows look like they haven't been washed in a long time. The place essentials appears to have had a touch of love only whenever it was opened. When I ordered take-out, I was refused their froze because you it is only served in the restaurant. Today I went to order our usual with the froze, and they said there is not froze and that Jerrad (the cashier) said that he turned it off....however, it was only 7:30pm and they close at 10pm. I usually have my froze at Sol Cocina on PCH with a nice ocean view....I thought I couldn't finally try these locations froze since it is a block away from my place....too bad. Also, if they are to charge extra for anything you might need, they should make people pay after they are done with their meal rather than beforehand. The restaurant does not have a nice flow, and the workers look miserable. We will not be eating at the restaurant again. I will have to check the kitchen cleanliness rating. Although I like the food, upon sitting in, I'm not sure the food is safe to eat... read more

We ordered the chicken pesto and the chicken bbq pizza and they were cold and they were dry and chewy. I asked my husband to go earlier to pick it up so it would be hot, just out of the oven and they were both barely hot. The pizzas were barely cut, we had to recut them ourselves. Really disappointed. Considering they are pricey and even charged an extra $4 for two small ranches. We went about two years ago and it was the same thing when we ate there. Lesson learned! read more

Total Fail!!!! We came with our kids to enjoy my wife Birthday. Our kids pizza finally showed up after being here for 1 1/2 hours waiting.

Always a great experience here and come often with family and friends. Great pizza, pasta, salads, and sides. Always good microbrew and sangria available. They always have some seasonal items to keep the menu fresh. The service and attitude from those that work here are always stellar. Will continue to come back with one caveat. One item that should be corrected is charging your customers a "Happy and Healthy 3% surcharge to support sustainable earnings and benefits for our team". That's tacky and off putting. And to put the responsibility on the customer to identify and request to be remove the charges is inappropriate. Figure out your pricing so you don't surcharge, penalize and put that additional responsibility on your loyal customers after we are tipping generously already in a tough economy. Every adult we come with or I've recommended to come here had the same opinion on this. Hope this business has the awareness to make the change. read more

I really liked the vibe in this place , nice bar , nice tv for me to watch the Seahawks games on Saturday and main reason I was there was to attend a group painting class, the only downsize is the Coffee and heavy cream for a person in keto diet like me that they were not selling at all ????? Anyhow I got a watermelon iced tea and continued painting with my group , the instructor was amazing , so smart and powerful so talented and therapeutic she was for this large group , definitely a must return for me . read more

I honestly don't think this location has any employees that interface with the public with an IQ over 60. I would have given "one star" if the food wasn't so good. That's what's so sad, the food is excellent, but the people working here are so dumb or high or both. My wife went there to pick up a "to-go order" and was told by one of the geniuses where to pick up the food. After waiting 20 minutes and her asking where the order was, they searched and couldn't find it. Apparently, it was sitting on the other side of the restaurant getting cold. I wish I could say this was a one-off situation, but it's not. Pretty much every time we come for pick up, it's a super long wait because there is so much confusion going on. I'm sure the manager is a very nice and hard-working person, but Mr. Manager, please take 15 minutes and train your employees. read more

Love their steak salad! Family friendly and delicious food! We've been coming here for year.

Excellent pies. Great vibes and SUPER kind staff. The Speak Easy out back is a plus. Ask for IYKYK pie if it's in season, the Honey Bear if not. read more

Heard some good reviews about the pizzas and pastas here so I wanted to give it a try! Came here during non busy hours, which was nice because there was no line and the food came fast. The restaurant was spacious as well. I would recommend the Honey Bear pizza to those who likes pineapple pizza. The honey adds a nice sweetness to each bite similar to pineapples on Hawaiian pizza. The dough was on a thinner side and light on the cheese so fold the pizza for a bigger bite. The chicken and mushroom cavatappi was my favorite here. The chicken was fully cooked and was shredded so it coated the sauce well. The sauce on the lighter side, the pasta was al dente and the dish as a whole tasted homemade. Overall, 8/10! read more

Great pizza and atmosphere! Good selection of beers as well. Friendly staff and good music.

Yet another terrible experience at this place. I'm not sure why I keep giving them another chance. Ordered online and was told 6:13 pick up time. Showed up at 6:20 and was told order not ready yet. Waited another 20, and was told still waiting on one item. After another 20 order finally comes out. Pizza is now cold and they served me burnt garlic knots. No explanation or apology. Way better pizza out there and way better customer service. read more

What we tried The Burrata Zoe's Pepperoni Steak Salad ------------------------------------------ howdy foodie fam! Happy National Pizza Day . Wait is it? Maybe not but might as well. I'm introducing you to my latest favorite pizza. If you know me, you know I don't always order pizza. Hence I tend to be picky with what I want on my pizza. Lucky for me, Pitfire Artisan Pizza checked off all the boxes for me . They have a pizza with burrata , some types of veggies or greens like arugula , with thin & crispy crust. I just described their The Burrata Pizza . You must try it!! Other items are also delicious but this pizza totally got all of my attention. stay hungry & eat deliciously. Always! read more

Pitfire Pizza - Burned pizza - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I'd love to begin that the vibe in this place is chill and family-friendly. My mom and I were greeted by Alex, who was so kind and extremely knowledgeable about everything on the menu. He helped me add some extras to my favorite gluten free pizza the honey bear, (shout-out to Thomas who made the best honeybear pizza I've had to date!) which is always worth the hour drive as there is no pitfire in my area! Hopefully, they'll open one in Long Beach in the near future. He also recommended the chopped salad with salami and peppers, and it was so flavorful! My mom got a sangria, which I have to say just one will definitely have you feeling giggly. lol I had the watermelon lemonade which was as refreshing as it sounds! To finish with dessert on a high note was the gluten-free brownie, which was brought out nice and warm! Come here for great pizza, good vibes, amazing customer service, and a little surprise room they have in the back read more

Came to Pitfire pizza for a painting class! Came early to eat before the class but it wasn't opened yet! Then found out the cook got a flat tire on his way in so food would be late!!! We did order before the class started and we're told food would be brought to us in the class , it was. I ordered the field mushroom pizza, I love mushrooms!!! It was OK, could have put more to the edges of the crust which would have made it much better!!! The service was good, not great. The class was super fun!!! Wendy is a great very encouraging teacher!!! read more

You can order from the restaurant in the front while at the Pie Society bar in the back. That's what we did. Kitchen closes at 11pm. You can get 10% off by checking in on Yelp as of late July 2019! We split the honey bear pizza and chicken meatballs app between two people. Meh amount of food for two people. I probably could've eaten everything by myself. Super good, though! read more

I'm updating my earlier review from 1 star to 5 stars. Cody Hopkins, the regional manager, reached out regarding the delivery situation. He wanted additional details and promised to get to the bottom of the issues that have apparently been happening with online orders and delivery times. Not only that, he gave me a gift card to give them another chance, and I will certainly do that. Even with the (initial) crummy delivery situation, the pizza was very good. And I've heard from locals that they have some great craft beer and a fun speakeasy at the Costa Mesa location, so would be worth giving it a shot! Thanks for the excellent follow-up and customer service. read more

The pizza was amazing. The best pizza I have had in a long time. I made it vegan and loved it.

I will never spend another dime at this place. Their service is horrendous. don't ever believe whatever they quote when giving a pick up time. They're not capable of predicting so it's useless to order online and trusting what they tell you. You'll just show up and wait endlessly. read more
