excellent selection of tasty pies. bring back the potato pizza into the permanent rotation!

Best pizza spot in Orange County. Yes. I said it and I meant it. I sometimes catch myself daydreaming about Sergeant pepperoni pizza. The variety that's offered by the slice is in comparable to any other spots in the area and it's not just about the variety. It's about the quality of all those types of different Pizza. A must try Pizza stop read more

This is one of my favorite pizzas in town. I've come here a few times and it is always great service. I stopped by for a solo dinner on Saturday night. I ordered 2 slices and a drink. I asked for a to-go box because the slices are rather large and I thought maybe I won't be able to eat it all. However, after that first bite or delicious pepperoni pizza, its hard to stop haha so I ended up eating both slices. My second slice was "the works" which has a bit of everything and in other places it would be known as "supreme". They had Parmesan and chili flakes on the tables which was a perfect combination. It was a busy night. As people were continually coming in to order. So my pizza took a bit longer which was weird because it was a slice so I imagine they would just heat it up. They were also out of coke. I ended up having come zero which wasn't bad but it wasn't necessarily what I wanted. The staff were super friendly. The space was clean. They had sports on all the tvs which was great to watch while I enjoyed my pizza slices. One thing to know is that parking in this plaza is difficult. You may have to walk a bit. But honestly, a little walk after this delicious pizza its probably what you will need haha read more

Sgt. Pepperoni's takes care of all the catering at the big events at our church and I knew they were capable of handling food for an English class. It was suffocatingly hot outside being summer. After placing the order for a Half & Half Specialty pizza of The Works and BBQ Chicken and a half tray of Pinwheels for 6 pepperoni and 6 meatball ricotta, my server offered a cup of cool water. They didn't quite have the 6 meatball ricotta so the supervisor asked if it was all right to fill with 2 extra pepperoni pinwheels. That was fine. They provided all the utensils and put the marinara sauce in individual containers. I was able to get on my way and arrive early to the class with all the food. The students enjoyed the hearty snacks tremendously as did the other teachers. Thank you! read more

Sgt. Pepperoni's has been my go to pizza place. While their regular pizzas are a solid four starts, I'm upping my rating to five stars because their pizzas of the month have been amazing! My favorite is their 'Shroom Pie with a cream base, fontina and mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms and arugula and herbs. It tastes like a pizza from some high end gourmet restaurant. Their Al Pastor Pie is a close second. I like Hawaiian pizza but this is even better with green salsa, mozzarella, al pastor, pineapple, caramelized onions, with a guac drizzle and cilantro. Highly recommend if you like Hawaiian pizza! Service is always good and friendly. One day I'll have to eat there and enjoy a beer! read more

We recently had Sgt. Pepperoni Pizza for our office lunch. We had a variety of pizza, some with meat and some vegetarian ones, and two types of salad. One of the salad was very unique. I haven't seen it anywhere else. It was a mixture of greens with some hard boiled eggs and something that looked like ham and cheese rolled into a pinwheel shape. I didn't order so not sure what that was, but it was pretty good. Most of the pizza were good but the ones with meat and pepperoni ones were too salty. read more

Decided to try this place for the first time. We ordered the all-meat pizza and unfortunately it was very salty and extremely oily. Maybe we picked the wrong pizza, but honestly even Domino's tastes better to me. The only things we really enjoyed were the salad and garlic knots. We also had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, and the place was VERY loud -- seriously, bring ear plugs. The chairs were also very uncomfortable. Another issue was the pizza crust couldn't even hold the toppings -- if you folded a slice, everything just slid right off. I don't like leaving 1-star reviews, but I just wasn't impressed and won't be coming back. read more

I can't believe I've never heard of this place until a few weeks ago. They have a couple locations but all in orange county (so kind of a bummer for me, but its worth the drive) The white pizza is so good and their cheese pizza is a straight up classic. I need to go back and try out some of the slices because they had so many options. The turkey sandwich was really nice and refreshing. The garlic knots are SO FLUFFY AND GOOD. The smores bar heated up is fantastic. I didn't really care for the oreo cheese cake but my husband enjoyed it. Parking was a breeze, service was great & the food was amazing. read more

To be honest, when my old coworker mentioned how Sgt. Pepperoni used to be one of his go-to pizza spots in the area, I was a little skeptical. Not because I don't trust his taste or anything (I certainly do), but because, given their close proximity to the UC Irvine campus, I couldn't help but wonder if they were actually good or more like the "great when you're drunk and in college, less so when you're an adult" type of good. Thankfully, I can legitimately say this place is a whole lot closer to the former and far from the latter! At a glance, Sgt. Pepperoni may not immediately look very impressive, but this place is awesome. Inside, the restaurant has a couple of TV's airing various sporting events, a small bar area with a variety of beers on tap, a few picnic tables and high tops, and a great outdoor patio area which is perfect for those warm Irvine days and nights. As for the menu, it's got a terrific selection of house combinations. In total, there are over a dozen different types to choose from, not counting their featured pizza of the month and the build your own options. If you aren't in the mood for a slice, they also have a handful of appetizers to choose from, as well as salads, sandwiches, and desserts. -- THE WORKS - Sauce, Mozzarella, Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Bell Pepper, Red Onion, Black Olives, Sausage, Meatballs, Garlic, and Parmesan Pretty standard version of a classic supreme, but the meatballs made it seem slightly meatier. Yet, even though I only got one small chunk of it, I still thought this was really good. The ratio of each topping was spot on and I love that they didn't skimp on the pepperoni. -- BRONX BOMBER - Sauce, Mozzarella, Pepperoni, Sausage, Jalapeno, Mushroom, Garlic, and Parmesan Given how similar the toppings are, this felt like a lighter version of The Works. In this case, while I do wish the toppings included some kind of vegetable, I liked the slight kick of the jalapenos and how this one felt a bit cheesier in comparison. -- MEATBALL RICOTTA - Mozzarella, Ricotta, Stan's Famous Meatballs, Garlic, Parmesan, Parsley, and Sauce Nothing amazing yet no less solid. Unfortunately, my slice only had a small dollop of ricotta and just a few pieces of meatball, but I liked how creamy the former was and how meaty the latter was. Plus, this was so cheesy! -- NASHVILLE HOT PIE - Crispy Chicken Tossed in House-made Nashville Sauce, Mozzarella, Pickles, Red Onions, Hot Honey, and Nashville Sauce This was the pizza of the month, but they should make it a permanent option because it was so good! The chicken was crispy (it's not fried), flavorful, and moist on the inside while the pickles, onions, honey, and sauce complemented each other so well. I'd come back just for this! -- ITALIAN SANDWICH - Salami, Ham Pepperoni, Provolone, Creamy Balsamic, Lettuce, Tomato, and Onion To be honest, I had minimal expectations for this, but it turned out to be pretty awesome! Not only did this have a good amount of meat in it, but I actually really liked the bread - airy, light, and crusty yet not the least bit dry. Delicious! Across each of the pizzas I've tried, I thought the crust on each of them was terrific - on the thin side (yet not too thin nor too doughy) and I liked how both the bottom and rim were really nicely browned. In addition, the other thing about Sgt. Pepperoni that stood out was the staff. Each time I've been here, the workers have all been so friendly and I appreciate how honest one guy was, in particular - "personally, I wouldn't bother with that one because the special is way better". Far more forthcoming than I expected, but the man was right! From the food, to the workers, to the space, to how their prices seem pretty reasonable, Sgt. Pepperoni is just a dope pizza place to have around, whether you're a UC Irvine student or not. Plus, I love how they have deals as well, including a lunch special (11am-2pm), which ranges from a slice and a soda to two slices, a salad, and a soda, as well as Happy Hour deals (slice and a beer/wine) and 50% off pitchers and bottles of wine. Not only a nice way to save a few bucks, but even more reasons to come in! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now, but don't be surprised if this turns into a five one day! read more

This has become one of my fav pizza spots in OC!! The Al Pastor pizza was so good that we ordered it twice in one week! Sad it'll be gone at the end of this month, but excited to see what the July pie of the month will be! Overall, Sgt. Pepperoni's has a great atmosphere, the workers are friendly, and it's a nice spot to grab lunch/dinner with friends and family. read more

We were looking for a place to watch the Mexico World Cup game and Sgt Pepperoni came up. I called to make sure they were there showing the game and they were. The vibe was great to watch the game as they had TVs outside and inside to watch and they were able to turn the volume up. We got an entire pizza and a drink for us to share. We got the super bee (no franks hot sauce) and we loved it! The flavor was great. The crust was our favorite! We really enjoyed this location and will be back. We want to try their salads and pepperoni pizza. read more

Sgt. Pepperoni is an awesome pizza spot. The pizza comes out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious every time. They offer a wide variety of flavors and toppings--some fun and unique options along with the classic favorites, so there's something for everyone. The service is friendly and quick, which makes the experience even better. One of my favorite things is the crust--it has the perfect thickness with a great crunch that really sets it apart. Parking can be a little tricky or crowded at times, but it's manageable and totally worth it for the pizza. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to! read more

I will avoid this location in the future and instead go to their Newport Beach location. The reason is that this location NEVER has my pizza ready on time. It's one thing when it's always 10+ minutes late and I haven't written negative reviews for that. However, tonight it was 23 minutes past my pickup window and they weren't even apologetic. The worst part was they told me "just 10 more minutes" so I waited around and my kids were with me and then it was another 13 minutes so 23 minutes of wasted time. If they would have just been honest and told me it would take an additional 20+ minutes past my scheduled pickup time (I ordered online like an hour before!) I could have ran another errand or got my kids something to do or anything but just waiting there and waiting and waiting really sucked. I love Sgt. Pepperoni's pizzas (their current pizza of the month Capri Pie is delicious, as are all their pizzas!) but the service is soooo much better at their Newport Beach location I'll just go to that location instead. read more

First time at Sgt's and I tried their lunch special: 2 slices and a drink. I got the Meatball Ricotta and The Works. My boyfriend wanted to try their specialty pizzas, but next time I think I'll just stick with the pepperoni. Definitely a quality spot for pizza! The slices had a great crunch with a thin crust, which I really liked. Their pizza reminds me of New York-style pizza. There was plenty of parking, and the workers were really friendly. Ambiance was great! They had cozy outdoor seating and it was lively. Definitely recommend! read more

Best pizza in the OC. Absolutely delicious. Curious what ingredients they use (organize, gmo, etc)? Sooooo good. Nice outdoor patio too

This is the second Sgt. Pepperoni's Pizza location I have been to, same as the last one, really enjoyed the food. Pizza is very good, lots of variety with pizza by the slice with various crust options. The house salad was huge with lots of toppings and the blue cheese was excellent, one salad enough for 2-3 people easy. They also have beer on tap, deserts, etc. These locations are a play on The Beetles Sgt. Peppers, with Beetles photos, etc. on the walls inside. Inside has a good amount of seating, bench style as well as bar seating, they have TV's all around and they also have a large patio that looks like it is about the same size as the interior. The servers were nice, once we ordered, they bring the food out to you and made sure we had what we needed. Once you are done they clean up the tables for you as well. Great experience, great pizza and salads, check them out for a casual night out. Enjoy! read more

Checked out Sergeant Pepperoni's in Irvine and it was such a hit! Im not even a huge pizza person, but this was worth every dollar! The service was really good, and it definitely didn't hurt that the guy at the cash register was also working the bar and was super hot. The pizza was amazing. I love that they have a great mix of classic options and more unique specialty pies. My little cousins could not get enough of it and were basically inhaling every slice. Based on what we had, here are the standouts: * Meatball Ricotta: This was a favorite. It doesn't have a traditional sauce base, but it's loaded with their famous meatballs, creamy New York ricotta, and fresh garlic, topped with dollops of marinara. * The Works: A total classic for the table. It's got the "roni cups," bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, black olives, sausage, and meatballs. * Sweet Heat Sausage Pie: This specialty pie had a great balance of flavors with chicken sausage, roasted red peppers, and gorgonzola on a garlic aioli base, finished with a drizzle of smoky chipotle aioli and fresh fennel. * Garlic Knots & Wings: We also grabbed some of the knots and wings, and they were the perfect side to the main event. This is such a great family friendly spot to grab some phenomenal food! read more

I forgot my lunch and had to order delivery to my office. I ordered a 1/2 and 1/2 specialty pizza and I was not disappointed. I've heard many things about this location, but I have never been. 14" HALF & HALF SPECIALTY PIZZA (pepperoni and margherita). The dough was slightly sweet, which I really liked. That cheese and the sauce were perfectly balanced, and the toppings were good. Used door dash to place my order and it took about an hour to get it. The pizza was still good despite the long wait. Next time I will order pick up so I can try it freshly made. read more

We were down in Newport for a conference and decided to check out Sgt. Pepperoni's Pizza Store as it was in between the two hotels. They sell pizza by the slice but we opted to get a 14 inch 1/2 Meatball Ricotta and 1/2 Super Bee. They were both super delicious. The Super Bee had just the right amount of heat and the Meatball Ricotta had delicious blobs of Ricotta and red sauce. You definitely need to get the free homemade ranch to dip the thinner crust in. You order at the front counter and they bring your order to you. The front counter guy was knowledgeable and friendly. They also have some great beers on tap as well. There is plenty of seating with a small game room in the back for kids. A great place for a beer and a slice after work or to watch the game. read more

Sgt. Pepperoni's has always been a reliable and comfort pizza place for my friends and me. We usually go to the one in Costa Mesa, but we're happy that one opened up in Irvine. My only experience with this store has been with online order and carryout, but we have never run into any issues with our orders and the food has always been great. The store itself has generous patio and indoor seating, my interactions with the workers have always been positive and they are proactive and helpful. There definitely is a lively feel to the store, especially with the various events that they run throughout the week. My go-to pizzas here are the Meatball Ricotta, Hawaii Five-O, and the BBQ Chicken. The ricotta and meatballs on the Meatball Ricotta are some of the highest quality and best pairings on pizza I've ever had. The Hawaii Five-O is a nice premium version of Hawaiian pizza, also with ricotta that complements it well. The BBQ Chicken is a solid sweet and savory option that goes well with any order. All of their pizzas have great dough texture, as well as flavor that stands out, but doesn't overpower the pizza. I also love that you can do 1/2 and 1/2 on their pizzas to get variety as well. If there's a solid pizza place to recommend in the area, Sgt. Pepperoni's is one of the first that would come to mind. I look forward to the next time I order from here! read more

Sgt Pepperoni's is my favorite gluten free pizza! This isn't some sad little thin cauliflower crust, but it's fluffy and the texture is great. They are knowledgeable about cross contact and I've never gotten glutened here. I love the outdoor patio and it's good for a group. we often do work meetups here. It's a staple for my team and it's a reasonable lunch (which leftovers) I'll definitely be back, it's a great staple around Orange County. read more

My husband's been wanting to try Stg. Pepperoni's for quite some time now but we've never just been able to make it happen. Thankfully we were able to finally make it by and it just so happened to be right after we had a full on sushi meal for lunch. We were both already full, but we were making use of our free time. Told ourselves that if it was still very much enjoyable after being full, then it definitely would be some good pizza. So glad we did because it was very tasty. Not only was the pizza good though, but service was great! David helped us out at the front and was really welcoming and friendly. We got the lunch deal where it was 2 slices + a drink for about $14, which is great since a single speciality slice I believe is $7.50. We got the Bronx Bomber and the pie of the month which I wish I remembered what it was called but I don't.. sweet heat something maybe? Both slices were really good crust with great topping combos. I'd definitely get the Bronx Bomber again and I'd definitely wanna come back to try more of their other slices. The pizza slices came out pretty quickly and toasty. A very good homey old vibe to the restaurant too with a little bar and a huge gum ball machine. There's an outdoor enclosed patio as well along with their indoor seating. They have happy hour deals too with slices + beer/ wine from Mondays-Fridays 2-6, which is following the lunch deal we got. They were also playing great music. So glad we went and can't wait to try more! read more

One of my favorite pizza places in the area. You can order a full pizza online or in person. If you want it by the slice, that can only be in person. Meatball ricotta: 10/10. Honestly soo good.

They have a monthly pizza that changes, and once, it was a special pizza with proceeds going towards a children's hospital, so that was really nice. read more

I want to give zero stars but that is not an option. Had the worst online order takeout experience of my life. The whole point of placing an online order is to have a quick, easy in and out pick up experience. Not only do you have to wait in line just to get someone to help you in the "take out" line, but then you have to wait an additional 35-40 minutes because the food isn't ready. RUN don't walk from this place. It's a shame because they could be so much more. read more

Last week i got to try Sgt Pepperoni as part of a yelp event down in RSM. My wife thought it was pretty decent so she decided to order a half and half pie of the works and the sausage and ricotta. Overall it was decent but a little on the salty side but thought that it ate well especially with the dusting of corn meal on the bottom crust to give it a nice crunch. read more

The pizza here is absolutely incredible. I honestly don't think they could mess it up. The wings, however, have a major issue. From the first bite, it's obvious they're over brined, either with far too much salt or left in the brine for too long. They're overwhelmingly salty all the way through. I had to drink three bottles of water afterward just to get rid of the headache, and the salt completely overpowered the barbecue sauce. Either skip the brining process and let the sauce shine, or find a different supplier if they're purchased that way. read more
