This place is fiiiiiiiirrrrrrre. Do you like pizza? Like, normal pizza pizza? With crispy yet chewy crust, just enough greasy pepperonis? Spicy balls of sausage? Do you like beer? Do you like dive bars and locals only spots with mellow vibes where your kids can kick it too? Do you like to support smalls businesses who employ the neighborhood? There not a lot of good pizza in the area and for me, this Straw Hat was Mana for Heaven. When we are ordered in my sons personal pizza had the cutest baby slice of pizza we'd ever seen. My husband and I shared a pepperoni sausage and a pitcher of beer and it was lovely. Our son won tickets and played with some other kids and we left full and loved the characters and kitschy decor of the place. Picked a pizza up to go and wished I'd got two! read more

It honestly wasn't bad. Straw hat pizza reminds me of when I was a kid and I've never been to this one. We live down the street and my husband and kids go there bc of games and they love the pizza. Salad bar didn't look very appealing but I am a very picky eater regardless so you may like it. Support your local restaurants that was our choice for Sat night. read more

Best pizza in Orange County. From the crust to the cheese the pepperoni was excellent cold beer with frozen mugs on point. Attentive staff and arcade games really tie everything together. TVs showing sports what else can you ask for? Whenever we are in town from San Diego we will make it a point to visit! read more

Going back to update my review again. I was annoyed by the no mask thing with my last review (and still am) BUT I did order delivery from here again, and it reminded me why we love straw hat. Always on time delivery, without fail. Good pizza. And the person forgot our side of mushrooms (not a big deal) , but must have remembered and totally came back to our house with the mushrooms (we didn't even say anything or ask for them to come back). So, that's going 'above and beyond' to me for customer service. I do love this place. read more

Pizza is ok. The wings are awful. The skin is not crispy and mushy. I ordered 1/2 order of fries and you could see the bottom of the plate, maybe 15 fries on there. Overpriced and gross read more

If I could review it 0 stars I would I hated it here the owner sucks the rest of the staff is good but the owner needs to work on her customer skill calm down stop yelling at children. The worst pizza place I've ever been too I'm never coming back again. read more

I always prefer to support local businesses so we decided to have a late lunch after a function we had in the area. There was no one there when we arrived. The pizza is way overpriced but we were hungry and didn't have time to look around. We will not go back after our interaction with the owners. They were both rude and lack customer service & management skills. We overheard her telling her new employee that he was taking too long as he was trying to take a phone order. I'm sure the customer on the phone could hear her because she didn't try to lower her voice. We spent $100+ for 2 XL pizzas, 40 wings, garlic cheese twists and potato wedges. There were 7 of us seated at 2 tables. As we were eating the waiter came over and told us he accidentally gave us an extra order of potato wedges. He proceeded to take it away and so our friend asked him why would he do it - it's not like he was going to serve it to another guest. He apologized and said if it was up to him he would let us have it but he has to because his manager told him to. After our meal I approached the lady at the counter to ask for a to-go box for our left overs and asked if she was the manager, she replied she was the owner and so I let her know what happened and she said it was the waiter's fault and she was trying to teach her employee a lesson. I told her that was poor customer service to take teach her employees at her customers expense and if it was worth it to her to lose customers over a plate of potato wedges and she shrugged and said "Oh well!" I don't know how she continues to stay in business but hopefully you won't support her too. The pizza and wings were basic. If you are looking for a nice friendly atmosphere to enjoy food with family and friends - this is not the place! read more

Owner wouldn't take valid market coupon at first and then said, we should have taken it off. Then she says ok, I'll take it but still didn't apply the full discount. Didn't want to hold up the line so just said whatever and paid extra. The lady on front of us had similar experience and said, "we are out of here...that lady is a bi$ch" and left with her kids and family. Needs new ownership. This place used to be a fun place and environment to go but last few times, same horrible service. read more

Thought I'd try again after several years. Perhaps their pizza has gotten better considering all the bad reviews. Nope. I live in the neighborhood and really like to give my business to the local restaurants. When I wanted to take my granddaughter out for pizza (her favorite) for her 4th birthday last night, I thought about SH because you can sit down, has a family atmosphere, etc., rather than have pizza at home. The place needs updating. It feels "icky." I don't want to say it was dirty, but it just didn't feel clean. The staff were pretty much nonexistent and lackluster. We were the only people there. The pizza still is not good. I mean, one of the main ingredients in pizza is cheese, right? There was a sprinkling of cheese on the king pizza. The sauce has no flavor and the crust is just chewy and flavorless. After spending $25 on a pizza, again, as in my first review, I wish I'd gone to Little Caesars across the street. read more

The food was good. Salad, pizza, and garlic Parmesan chicken wings. I asked if I could split the chicken wings between two flavors and she literally said "no we can't, it makes it too difficult". Customer service? What the hell? Craziest thing I've heard. Your food is good but the customer service needs to go up a few notches. read more

Do not get the personal pizza about 9 inches with 8 inches being crust. Hardly any cheese or toppings. Center of pizza was about the size of a tennis ball and that is where all the toppings were or actually were suspose to be, as far as the salad goes not bad but the dressing was completely watered down. $18.00 dollars for a personal pizza, 1 trip salad bar and a coke. Poor quality all the way around. read more

My son and I came across this place on accident just looking for a place to eat. The food was surprisingly good and the prices are cheap specially for what you get. There's a small arcade too for kids. read more

Perhaps the worst pizza I've ever had, the food lacks flavor and is generally saturated with grease. Even my nine-year-old son found it hardly edible as he tried to soak up the oil with wads of napkins. We both ended up with a stomachache afterward. The only saving grace is that they have a large hall dedicated to soccer parties, and there are arcade games at the restaurant to entertain the kids. read more

Cauliflower pizza is really good, almost as good as Fresh Brothers! And they have draft beer with slot games for the kids.

Terrible service the employees are fine but the owner on multiple occasions yelled at people for being early to the arcade and other things and yelled at me and my friends for having fun at a pizza place it smelled like cigarettes and the owner yells at the employees infront of customers this has happened MULTIPLE times they have no respect and they have terrible management skills I definitely wouldn't go back costumer service SUCK read more

I have ordered from this place twice and I'm completely done with them. The quality of the pizza is slightly below medium. Both times it was delivered luke warm, and the crust was tough. I ordered online, which included the tip that I gave to the driver ahead of time. Both times the driver told me that he didn't have any packets of hot pepper or grated cheese with him. It seemed like he was just too lazy to care. I think I'll go somewhere else for pizza. read more

This Straw Hat is as good as it gets. Reminds me of the pizza places when I was a kid. Great service, friendly employees and fantastic pizza. I just love their pizza. I am a sucker for that thin crust. They have a nice game room for the kids and plenty of tv's to catch the game. If you want to throw a party they have a nice size team room that we used for our group. If you want some great pizza, cold adult beverages with great service you need to try this Straw Hat. Enjoy, Don read more

It was my first time coming to this place and I was extremely disappointed. We got a king sized pizza and when we got home and opened the box there was a long hair coming out of the slice. We then called and asked if we can get it remade and the guy said yes,then owner then calls and claims she cannot find our order and they won't make the pizza until we go back. We drove back as soon as we walked up to the counter the lady started to verbally attack me and my partner saying nobody there has long hair, we showed her the video were you can clearly see the hair inside the pizza, she then points at me and says it's my hair. I never even got near the pizza and this hair was literally inside the cheese. We then look over to see the staff and none of them have hairnets on and then none of them wear gloves. As a food place you would think the owner would make this mandatory but nope they were touching toppings without anything while they delay with the POS system. The customer service was shit here and that lady should honestly get her attitude straight and food safety to be more efficient. We will definitely not be coming to this place as the manger with the short hair was very rude and does not practice good food safety. read more

Horrible costumer service. The owner yelled at a poor little girl twice!! Food tasted dry and over cooked. Smelled like cigarettes and the owners a bitch. Owner yells at costumers for having fun? Staff is fine but owner is horrible..She even yells at employees in-front of children/costumers. Not impressed not going to come back. read more

LOVE THEIR PIZZA! Always fresh, always delicious, the beer taste amazing after a game. Friendly staff King size pizza is $28 feeds 5-7 people. Ice cream, games, lots of seating, nice restrooms...they take debit/credit... Did I mention the great beer?!! read more

Friendly, family atmosphere..owners are life long community members and give back to our families and community groups. Our children have spent many celebrations after football games and end of school year events at this establishment! Great large party room, also, for events. read more

A group of 17 of us went to this location on Friday March 16th. All of us got sick (flu symptoms) within 1-2 days. I do not believe it was the food. I believe it was a virus and lack of cleaning that allowed it to spread. The reason for the poor review isn't necessarily that we ar got sick as that can happen, it is due to the fact when my wife called them on Sunday to tell them our experience they couldn't have been any less interested. I do not have any knowledge on whether or not they have done a thorough disinfecting of the location but just be careful if you decide to go. The above review was from 6 months ago. The owner decided to now respond with the attached. I guess when you have an incompetent owner you're not going to have the cleanest of facilities. read more

We celebrated my 8 year old's Birthday Party at this location. They have a fairly large & private party area & it's a wonderful place to throw an easy no-fuss gathering. My guests gave compliments about the food including the bread, chicken wings & pizza. The workers were very friendly & quite accommodating. We had a special activity for the children, but it was nice because they also have a small arcade area for additional "entertainment". There is also ample parking which is always a huge plus when throwing a gathering. Thank you, Straw Hat for helping me put together a nice celebration for my son! :) read more

Recently made a trip to this straw hat location and as a first time customer who now lives locally, I will never be returning! My spouse called in the order before hand which I planned on picking up on the way home. Arrived and ended up waiting 30 mins in line. I even went up to an employee and asked if I had to wait seeing that the order had already been called in. She replied yes. Once I finally made it to the counter I suggested to the cashier that they should really have a separate line for those that had called in. She replied "oh you should have come straight to the front." REALLY!!! No apologizes or anything! This will be my first and last time visiting this restaurant! Additionally, before I wrote this review, I noticed that the business owner responded to a previous yelper who also had a negative experience. This business owner really needs to learn professionalism and how to provide customer service. I appreciate that you love your loyal local customers but a big part of growing your business (or staying in business for that matter) is to acknowledge mistakes and not provide excuses. Business 101! read more

Came here as a kid for soccer pizza party award night such a fun vibe at night eating pizza and playing the arcade games I loveee deal or no deal some core memories thank you straw hat pizza read more

So i just got back the the manager was rude i saw her yell at a kid saying "that is only for water you have to pay" and she didnt know after that the kid ran away scared and poored it out i feel bad for her but the arcade games were cool read more

So in terms of food safety protocols this place crossed what we think is a major food violation. Produce was tossed out because of mold. Employee was told an hour later to get that produce back out from the trash, remove the mold and clean produce with soap and water and put it back out for consumption. If they are doing that with their produce, what else is happening in that place. Eat at your own risk. read more

We placed an order for delivery we had a small pepperoni and a large veggie with pineapple instead of olives. The order arrived pretty quickly but once we got it we found the veggie did not have pineapple! The delivery guy repeated the order and said pineapple and the receipt said it but there was no pineapple on that pizza. It was a bit disappointing and the price is a bit high for the pizzas. The pizza was alright. Overall it was a mediocre experience. read more

Huge shout out to our waiter Daniel tonight! Not only did he help make sure our table of 20 had everything we needed but he made sure to always deliver it with a smile :) So friendly and made our experience at straw awesome as usual! read more

If I could give this place less than one star, I'd happily do it. Unbelievably inefficient and incompetent operation. A full 30 minutes simply to pick up a pizza that I had ordered. Pizza was ready as they instructed, but impossible to actually pick up the pizza because they're too busy taking new orders. If they actually cared about customer service or simply the quality of the product they produce, they'd expedite order pick-ups. Oh, and the order was completely wrong. Yeah - this place is simply wrong. Never again. It's too bad - I grew up loving Straw Hat Pizza but this location simply can't figure out how to efficiently run a business. read more

I have always been a fan of StrawHat pizza since I was a kid. My parents used to take us to the one in Malibu. It's been years since I ate Straw Hat pizza and recently discovered they're still around. I went to the Long Beach location and ordered a small "The Works"...just in case it didn't taste the same. WOW!!! It is still as good as I remembered, I was so happy and went to order a large to take home. Such a rare thing to find a childhood memory completely intact..now, I'm introducing my children to Straw Hat to start a new set of memories. read more

We came here after a team competition because a friend referred us. I'm giving this a 4 star because I ordered the salad bar which was good but the salad looked a little old...they had great toppings and it still tasted pretty good! My husband ordered the bbq wings and he said they were really good! We shared a small pepperoni pizza which was very good! It came out hot so the cheese was still melted when I pulled myself out. The crust wasn't super thick which was really good! So happy we came here! read more

My husband and I love this place. The pizza is always good, and the staff is amazing.

Ordered for pick up and YUM! Mackenzie was super helpful over the phone ~ Definitely coming back :) read more

This place is awesome! We call for delivery for a certain time for our office and they never fail in getting our lunch to us on time, every time! The pizza is hot and delicious! And the service is always on point. 5 stars for Straw Hat Pizza! read more

This was our favorite pizza place but today the service was horrible. They were very rude when we walked up, we figured maybe they were having a bad day but the rudeness kept on going. The only female worker this evening (I can't remember her name) was the rudest. When we walked up she was like "What do you want" as we were ordering my husband ordered me a salad she looked at him and said "Absolutely no sharing". Really was that really necessary. We will never come back here again. NEVER. I would rather go across the street to Little Cesar's then come back in here and get treated with so much disrespect. read more

I am sorry that the shop of center has been burnt with people using counterfeit old 100s. However I am a consistent customer for over 25 years who has never had an issue with my forms of payment. In fact my family and I make it a point to tip and promote small family businesses such as yours! However, the bill passed all 3 tests. Your employee even used the "magic" pen and that itself proved the bill was real. Just because of a select few individuals committing fraud, others should not be punished or "profiled" for having an old $100. As far as I'm concerned an old $100 is still legal tender. Secondly this is not the first time, myself or my family has had an issue with Carley and her attitude. Once again the presidential hologram was present, as was the vertical line, and the ruffles in the presidents collar. And the fourth check, performed with your counterfeit marker, showed that the bill was real. In fact I still have it, and would gladly show you how REAL it is. And I shouldn't have to ask for 20's at a bank, when I know that you accept 100s. Your business does not have a sign anywhere that states "NO Bills over 20". I have been coming here for over 20 years so I didn't think it was an issue to pay for a pizza with a $100. Money is money and you lost out on a weekly customer. Take a look at your other reviews, that depict your previous and current supervisors/managers having horrible customer service and attitude issues. read more

This place is nothing special. My friend took me here for their pizza and salad bar lunch special. It was an okay deal for what you are getting. I don't know why some restaurants insist on putting carpet in because what happens is it leaves the restaurant smelling old and musty. It made me a bit nauseous to eat there. (I know, harsh.. but come on!) I like the personal sized pizza but not the salad bar because the salad ingredients could have been a lot more fresh. I don't think I would waste my pizza calories and money on place like this again. read more

Straw Hat Pizza brings back so many childhood memories. I love visiting this establishment when I'm in town since the Bay Area Peninsula closed their location many years ago. Their pepperoni pizza is still one of my favorites and makes for fantastic family restaurant. read more
