The good - prompt completion of an order - delicious pizzas - mom and pop shop -good customer service The bad -none Love this place. I ordered and paid for two pizzas on a Monday for a meeting nearby that was to begin at 11 AM on a Friday. They open at 10:30 AM and the timing would be great if they could have it a few minutes before the meeting. A few other nearby pizza places opened at 11 AM and I didn't want to be late. So the start time is a score! Sure enough the pizzas were both ready and waiting super hot at 10:45 on a Friday. The cashier gave me some cheese topping and chili flakes and I was off. I ordered a medium pepperoni and a medium barbecue chicken, something a some of the other places didn't have available. They were so big that they barely fit in the medium boxes which supposedly fed 6-8 people each. Most of the two pizzas were gone with 10 people. Seems like the BBQ chicken was the more popular; it had the right combination of sweet and tangy sauce and bits of chicken though people also liked the pepperoni. They didn't skimp on the meat or cheese. I also loved that it was a mom and pop shop and price was about $25 each (though I really don't remember). All I know is that it was a great choice for a great meeting. Customer service was friendly, too with the cashier explaining the pizzas. On Friday - day of the event - I texted them to get a status on what time for pick up, and in a couple of minutes texting me back. Definitely a good find. Sorry I never got a picture because of the ravenous attendees. read more

Thank you!!!! I need to make a correction to my review: Thursday nights are the tortellini special nights. Again: Pink sauce. Friday nights are the chicken parmigiana special. And if you haven't shared the Giant Slice of their incredible pizza, you're missing out! Cheers! read more

Never again. Greasy, chewy. Online ordering was easy. The pizza...not so easy to eat. read more

Massive lunch special portions and affordable. Everything came out great: ravioli, hot submarine sandwich, lasagna, and spicy shrimp diablo. Also the garlic bread is so good. Keep this local gem thriving. read more

Just dined in here for the first time and man oh man this place only gets better!! When picking up I always notice the inside is pretty packed and the food always looks so great so we decided let's go eat there. We decided to skip pizza and take advantage of the chicken parm deal and a rigatoni dish and these were incredible. The portion of the chicken parm was insane we packed it up to go home with us. The cutlet was juicy, crispy, covered in cheese and sauce, the spaghetti was perfect with a nice tasty meat sauce. The salad to start was also perfect I must add. The sausage and rigatoni dish my wife got was great she had the garlic red sauce and it had such a good kick! The staff is so friendly and the happy hour was great. I really can't believe the daily deals this place puts out it is such a gem!! read more

There are HEAPS of pie slingers around here. Some are noticeably better than others. This restaurant has AMAZING lunch specials each day of the week. Honestly, I felt lucky to find an empty seat today (Wednesday = Bottomless Spaghetti).. It's got a welcoming, family style trattoria vibe inside, highlighted by generous portions of tasty food served with a friendly, pretty/handsome smile I ordered "the BIG slice" w/side salad special from a courteous, female food server. The staff is engaged, professional, and attentive. The "Big Slice" is just that - a really big slice of pie. Here's where the "Big Slice" stops being a gimmick - it's absolutely a great tasting piece of pizza pie... no joke. I definitely recommend this little goldmine for its super high deliciosity rating, amazing atmosphere, obvious value, and ithe service of it's shiny, attentive staff read more

Solid little spot- mom and pop Italian place with the red and white checkered tables--super cute! We sat in a small booth and it felt cozy, kind of date night vibes, but also a place you could easily bring the kids. Pretty mixed crowd, very chill environment. We got the chicken parm with penne and asked for the spicy diablo sauce instead of marinara--definitely a good choice since we like a little kick. Big portions, everything tasted fresh, and the chicken was nice and crispy under all that sauce and cheese. The garlic toast and salad were simple but good, and the meatballs were actually really solid. Came out to about $44 with tax and tip, which felt more than fair for how much food we got. Nothing fancy, just really good, comforting Italian food and a spot that feels easy to come back to. read more

This is another neighborhood, Jim I absolutely love and adore. The nightly specials are amazing. Something for everyone. Always super tasty. Their giant pizza by the slice is like getting a small pizza. I enjoy every bite of it! It's small and cozy, but always inviting. The team is always friendly and helpful when I come in the door to pick up my order. read more

Outstanding value and comfort food at its best. I ordered the Sunday special lasagna for $14.50, which came with a side of spaghetti, a dinner salad, and garlic bread, and it absolutely exceeded expectations. The lasagna was rich, hearty, and clearly homemade, the spaghetti was perfectly cooked with great sauce, the salad was fresh, and the garlic bread was warm and flavorful. What really stood out was the portion size. This meal easily lasted me three meals, which is almost unheard of at this price point. Quality, quantity, and value all hit the mark. I will absolutely be back and highly recommend this Sunday special to anyone looking for a satisfying Italian meal. read more

I cannot believe how delicious the pizzas are. I'm not even a pizza fan but we came here with the group, I tried the giant slice vegetarian pizza and my friends pepperoni giant Slice Pizza. I love how the toppings was extremely generous and the pizza crust was crispy and not too thick and doughy like most Pizza places. I was barely able to finish a third of my giant Slice Pizza which was double the size of my hand. The value for the money was incredible. The food was extremely fresh and made to order. Highly recommend trying this place if you are having a pizza craving. You will be very happy. read more

Ordered med pizza pepperoni and sausage it was ok this time a little much cheese mushed up quickly! Dough was good. But worse value added the Parmesan chicken strip app thought it was different but for $11.75 basically a thin chicken breast cut in 6 slices same as the chicken parm dinner, this app should be $5.00 at most. Next time will just get the whole dinner with the salad, pasta and bread for $14.50 read more

Ethan and Bailey were literally the best servers I have ever had! I went in on Monday and the restaurant was busy! But both of them were so attentive, so friendly, and made everyone feel like they were the only ones in the restaurant! I was amazed, because I would have definitely been stressing out. Honestly, I would come again just for them! Luckily the food is just as good as the service which makes it even better! read more

Met a couple of friends here to celebrate a birthday and although it's a pretty small place, the staff is very friendly and the service was great. Def gives it a more intimate vibe. The pizza is so good with so many toppings to choose from and the wait wasn't very long either but just fyi the pizza sizes are bigger than you may initially expect! No complaints tho cuz we were able to take some home and the pizza tasted just as good warmed up as they did fresh out the oven read more

My fiancé and I were looking for a local Italian spot to try since we are semi new to Costa Mesa. The first time we tried this place we ordered a pizza with pepperoni and mushroom which was really good. Then we decided to try their sub sandwiches my fiancé got a " meatball" which didn't taste or look like actual meatballs, not to mention the flavorless marinara. I tried their chicken Parm sandwich, which also was very bland and I tasted more of a burnt flavor than actual chicken. Sorry to say, but we will not be returning customers. read more

This wasn't the best of nights for my favorite family Italian restaurant. I've been coming here for years but this was an off night. There appeared to be having a youth pizza party and the kids and their families had taken over this very small restaurant. The kids and families were so loud I gave up trying to have a conversation with my wife. It looked like the owner was supervising the party but that didn't change anything. I remember in the distant past my children attending youth pizza parties but never at a very small restaurant. Maybe in the future it would make sense to close down your restaurant for such an event. Additionally, one of the best sausage sandwich could be had here but not on this night. The sausage tasted like overcooked meat but not Italian sausage and it was very dry. Maybe this was just an aberration. Addendum: BTW the Italian sausage sandwich was not good either. Interesting, in that I saw you went over to older couple who arrived after me and you apologized to them but you didn't make it over to my table. read more

Catering was very good. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Will use again. Our guests enjoyed the food. read more

Thought I'd take the time to applaud an excellent experience to start my weekend. I'm in the area for work on Friday, midday, looking for a bite to eat. Nothing really stood out, considered lil pickle, but decided on an ole favorite Pizza d'oro. We always came for the lasagna or spaghetti w/meat sauce, salad, and delicious garlic bread. Of course we'd order a giant slice or two to split with through the family. At any rate, I head in and order from a nice young woman and head out to wait for my slice. I come back to pick up my slice and a gentleman, I believe to be management/Owner, greets me and ask how he could help. I let him know I'm picking up a slice and he immediately heads back to check on it. He comes back with my slice and ask if I'd like a salad. (Free of charge) I thought it was such a simple, kind and generous offering. In today's climate with so many people, businesses, etc, being essentially on 'autopilot', it was nice to experience personal touch and warm smile over greed and the numbers game. If you are looking for a delicious quality meal with a perfect ambiance, look no further. This is your spot!! Attached is a pic of lunch Friday. (Full slice cut in half-seemed over a ft long) Cheers and Thank you read more

I finally got to try this place after so many years of people telling me how great this place is. My order was the Chicken Diablo Pasta and it was one of the best Spicy Pastas I've ever had, and it had this spicy sauce with a really good kick to it, and the Noddles were soft, and had awesome flavor to the sauce which is a perfect balance. And I love that they have Deals every day of the week, so that you can get something really good every day. And the Garlic Bread was the best, I've ever had in my entire life it was so good you have to get it. I highly recommend this place to everyone if you want to get some of the best Italian Food you need to try this place out. read more

Really delicious Italian food! Good for a big family to order large amounts of food. Super fun decor. The pizza, spaghetti, and bread was all super yummy! read more

The pizza was good. Only complaint about it is that it had all the ingredients in the middle and droops when you go to pick up a slice. Service was terrible. Guy with the backwards hat has got to go. Horrible attitude and couldn't understand basic instructions. Had to give instructions to him 3x slowly so he could punch it in the tablet. Don't know what his issues are but it's really bad representation for the company. The brunette with the black outfit was equally as bad. Horrible attitude and unwelcoming. read more

Love this place! My family has been coming here for 30+ years, and it's still amazing. Delicious food, friendly service, and that warm, homey feeling every time. They even made sure each of my daughters got a slice and offered me a drink while I waited--top-notch all around! read more

Get you a slice bigger than your face! Pizza D' Oro was one of those spots we frequented when we lived in Costa Mesa, so when we were in the area we had to drop by. Same cozy spot, same great taste and still great pricing! Everything we ordered: Pep and Jalapeño Artichoke Margherita Fried Artichoke Not pictured: spaghetti and cheese pizza for the kids. We were a party of 10 (6 of those were kids) and service was super friendly and accommodating. read more

Brought my girlfriend here for her first time and she loved it! Food was delicious and looked amazing. We got a pizza to share and then got hooked up with free house salad with their homemade house dressing which was great. Service was a little wonky at first but the food and their overall genuine gratefulness for coming to their establishmen read more

This restaurant is great for a casual lunch with coworkers or casual dinner with family. It's reasonably priced and the portions are good sized with enough to have leftovers. The workers are very friendly and helpful. I've put in large lasagna orders for my class, and food was ready for the time I picked it up. And was reasonably priced. read more

Pizza!! Such a cute little pizza restaurant!! I had a slice of their spinach artichoke speciality, and it was delish. Also I tasted their fried artichokes, which were okay! The real star was the pizza. Service was great. Thank you much! read more

I was in the mood for pasta. I wanted to try a place that I haven't been. Pizza D'Oro kept coming up in a few searches. I ended up getting the Saturday special which was the garlic shrimp scampi, garlic bread, and Italian house salad. I was surprised by low prices for the high-quality food that you get. Most places are charging $7 to $10 more for similar menu items. I'm not sure if it's just being from Seattle or I expected to be more. I am not sure how they are able to keep there cost low. But it's a benefit to the community. As they've been in business for over 50 years and they have a lot of regulars. There's people nonstop walking in to get to go orders. read more

I love a good, old fashioned pizza joint. You know, the ones with local soccer team photos on the wall and the same regular customers every week? This place has that warmth. I ordered a pizza for carry out and they checked in on my twice while I waited in a booth. You can tell everyone around had been there before, which is a good sign! The pizza and wings were good, travelled well and even reheated well the next day via air fryer. Didn't eat in this time, but the setting is nice and family-oriented, so I'm a fan! Will definitely be back. read more

I had heard of this pace @pizzadorotogo in Costa Mesa and today was the day. I ordered a large pepperoni with pineapple (yes I love pineapple) on my pizza. I also order Alfredo fettuccine with chicken. The Pisssaa lol was nice and thick with a lot of cheese. But the winner was the pasta. It had good flavor and it was nicely cooked, you can tell it's fresh. Totally recommend it, they have specials every day. Really small but those are the best places. 10/10 . Super nice hostess read more

Still a favorite place to go for a single slice of pizza. The Big Slice combo doesn't come with a soda anymore, but still includes a side salad and one-topping choice (additional toppings are extra but worth it.) They also have a GIANT slice, but I tend to be full from the big. I always get Italian ranch with my salad and it's a good dressing choice. There are different specials every day of the week. The lasagna special for Sunday is delicious and baked to perfection. The restaurant has a good number of tables and the servers are friendly at this establishment that has been around for 50+ years. read more

Their pizza is so good it's our family's favorite place to go in the area. Salads are good. The lasagna is good and even the ranch is good!

Went with 2 friends for lunch. Walked in and immediately greeted by the owner Phillip with a big smile. He came over and took our drink orders and we started going over the lunch menu. He brought our drinks and asked if we had any questions and to try and "stump" him with a laughter that was very comforting. He got a bit distracted for an employee wasn't showing up. But he stepped up and took our order for the giant pizza lunch combo. We ate our salad and couldn't believe our eyes when the pizza showed up! Ok some people's version of giant differ! But when they say giant they really mean GIANT!! We were all so shocked! He brought us some warm marinara sauce and ranch dressing and left us to eat! Afterwards he came over and commented that he was going to try and warn us about the size but we ordered with such confidence that he figured we knew! Let's just say we have leftovers! He even gave us a couple tricks on how to reheat it! For being stressed for the employee not showing he showed great service with a smile and laughter. Really impressed by Phillip and thank him for making lunch such a delicious and fun experience! The giant pizza comes with 1 topping and a salad and drink. I asked for black olives to go with my sausage and only charged and extra $2. The lunch deal was $13.50 and an extra $2 for the olives! I think I've got another 2 meals in my fridge highly recommend this place!! read more
