Surfside Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Clemente, California

Surfside Pizza has re-opened!!! It is even better than before. The new owner really cares about the details and making sure that the customer is 100% satisfied with the experience. You will feel as though you are in his home for a pizza. I enjoyed the meat lovers pizza which had the perfect crust and toppings. Though i took it home with me, the pizza was still nice and hot. I understand from the owner that the pizza sauce is his Italian moms' "secret sauce". The sauce was rich with just the perfect amount of garlic. And, Surfside Pizza is home of the world famous Pietro's Favorite Lemon Ice; just in time for summer. You will be blown away by the strawberry or lemon ice frozen treat. Refreshing, tangy and not too sweet strikes the perfect balance. (a little more tart than sweet which I love). Simple yet tasty ingredients all around for a perfect pizza dinner and refreshing frozen treat. So glad Surfside is back! read more

You're greeted as soon as you walk in and the two slice combo is where it's at good pizza and a nice environment

The pizza was pretty dry. I ordered it and you'd think they're fresh tasted like a cardboard box with sauce on it. The staff was alright nothing too special but not terrible either. For being highly touted from the place we stayed at I was expecting more. read more

Update: Another amazing pizza. The owner Kenny is really cool and accommodating. Cody the manager is hilarious. Always expect a great meal here. They still need beer. But a side note: their salads are fricking phenomenal. This ain't like those 'ol crap places with wilted greens and crap dressing Extremely fresh, crisp clean greens! read more

The food is good. We love their pizza, but don't order delivery. The last few times has been a nightmare to get the food. It's takes forever and when you call the restaurant to find out what's going on, they either don't answer or you get put on hold. Today I was on hold for over 10 minutes and no one ever came back to the phone. My order arrived 1 and 1/2 hours after I ordered. The food was cold and I was missing an item. I can't even get a hold of anyone to tell. So order in store , or over the phone for pick up. Assuming someone answers. read more

Quality calzone with sausage and peppers - garlic and Parmesan on top, golden brown, killer dough flavor, only drawback is cold marinara on the side to heat up in the microwave at home. Will do again when the craving comes. read more

My first FIVE STAR rating on Yelp! As mentioned by numerous restaurant critics, customers should not ignore small strip mall restaurants for they do not exist for the ambiance, notoriety, or tourist draw. They serve good food at a reasonable cost. Surfside Pizza more than exceeds the former and meets the latter. As I bit into the my "Surfside" I noticed the excellent taste and quality of the crust, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and very fresh vegetables that were not overcooked. I've been told and read that pizza crust making, especially considering the susceptibility of the yeast to ambient temperature and humidity and its effect on crust. It seems Surfside excels. I normally prefer a pesto base because I avoid tomato based sauces, but here at Surfside they in making a balanced delicious pizza that does not overwhelm with a too strong a tomato taste. I thoroughly enjoyed the slice and you will too. I only regret I don't live near enough to patronize the restaurant routinely. read more

Surfside Pizza - Surfside pizza medium. So good - Pizza Near Me - San Clemente, California

Meh, pizza just ok! Boneless wings are frozen chicken nuggets, I kid you not, salad they forgot on the delivery. Driver did come back with it to our surprise. ( Kid was really nice. )Owner taking orders by phone not pleasant, their website isn't up to date and one reason we ordered from here is for gluten free crust, which they were out of. (?) Have ordered from them for years when we vacation in Capo but unfortunately the experience keeps getting worse. read more

Yeah, so my wife had a severe stomach issue because of your "vegan" cheese. Next time you forget to put the correct cheese on our pizza please just tell us.. I literally watched and heard you whisper "they won't know" while the guys surrounded you back there. I've been at your place multiple times and I always tip for your service. That was unprofessional and I would've rather spent 30 additional minutes waiting for the correct pizza than have my wife spending her night on the toilet. SHOUT OUT TO THE DUDE WHO JUST STARED AT US AND KNEW IT WAS MESSED UP. THANKS BUD. read more

This used to be a good place to get pizza but the last 2 times the pizza was delivered cold. Tonight we placed an order for an xl pepperoni @ 6:16 and it was delivered cold at 6:28, it takes about 3-5 minutes to drive to deliver it to my house. The math doesn't add up. The manager questioned me several times saying it was unusual...and said he did it himself. Needless to say we won't be ordering from Surfside again. Too many other good pizza places that have great pizza and honest customer service !! read more

We were staying at a nearby timeshare and Surfside happens to deliver to the timeshare, so we ordered a pizza and wings. The pizza was one of their specialty pizza with meat and veggies. It was very okay. Nothing great about it, nothing terrible about it. Kinda skimped on the toppings though. The wings we ordered were very good. We ordered the sauce on the side (mild buffalo) and the sauce was what you would expect from mild buffalo. I would have like more options on the wing sauce (they have buffalo, teriyaki, and BBQ). I prefer garlic parmesan or lemon pepper, but that's just personal preference. The delivery time was within the window they quoted us. The price for wings, an extra large pizza (only 10 slices-not all that extra large), delivery and a tip, was $47. read more

Great pizza place if you are looking for a filling shared meal with a group~ My manager ordered to go from this place for lunch. We got the Rockin Ricotta Pizza (Size M, $17.95) and Pete's Special Pizza (Size M, $17.95)+house salad (Size L, $8.50). The Rockin Ricotta Pizza had good ratio of artichoke and ricotta/mozzarella/romano cheese. Wish it had more garlic flavor and spinach. I didn't try to Pete's Special Pizza since I was full from one slice, but my coworkers said it was a standard meat pizza, little on greasier side. The house salad came with a side of italian dressing, standard with feta cheese, olive, tomato, lettuce, and bell peppers. Personally I thought the pizza had a too thicc crust, but it was well baked and had overall good flavor. They have other interesting pizza flavors so would definately be down to to go from this place another time. read more

Took a shot and ordered an extra thin crust Margherita pizza with jalapenos from Surfside Pizza in San Clemente. An extra thin crust pizza should keep its shape, not go limp like it does in the photo. They neglected to add the jalapenos. Haven't tried the salads cuz the wife was too disappointed with the Margherita pizza, so we went out to dinner. She's Italian from NYC and expects a four topping pizza to have 4 toppings. First and last order from Surfside...they have no quality control and zero oversight. Pizza margherita, as the Italians call it, is a simple pizza hailing from Naples. When done right, margherita pizza features a bubbly crust, crushed San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt. That is all. It's like the simplest pizza on the planet. If Surfside can't manage this one...I doubt all the others. If you know pizza, this is not your pizzeria. read more

The people here were so polite and lovely! The food did take a minute but it was well worth the wait. Easily would say that their marinara sauce is the best I've had in my whole life, so full of flavor that I've never had from normal sauce. 10/10 would love to come again!!! If you go please try the pasta with meatballs, new favorite food. read more

Great little spot in San Clemente! We ended up ordering the Deep Dish because my brother had never tried this style of pizza... was a bit hesitant considering how far we are from Chicago, but this pizza did NOT disappoint! Flavorful and on point. Would highly recommend! read more

We recently discovered Surfside and it's been a hit with the whole family . My son loves the minestrone soup and spaghetti and meatballs . We also love the pizza and garlic bread and cannolis for dessert are awesome ! The Chicago style deep dish pizza was perfectly cooked but a very heavy pizza so bring your appetite ( or teenagers !) for this pizza ! Thank you Surfside ! You are so much more than pizza read more

My new favorite Salad in town! The greek Salad is the Best! They always deliver as quick as they can and the drivers are so nice. Pizza, Wings, Rib bites, The wedge fries with basil and herbs are great. read more

I like their pizza and very convenient. Rock star on first order; 1 star off for consistency on future orders. Last order was wrong (surfside pizza w/no green pepper and half olives) and we end up with green pepper and olives on whole pizza, and burnt crust. A few times there wasn't much cheese so now I ask for extra cheese (pay for it). Great special on Tuesdays (buy 1 medium get 1 medium free). read more

Surfside Pizza - Surfside 12" Medium Pizza - Pizza Near Me - San Clemente, California

What I disliked here most was the service. I was quoted 45 minutes for my deep dish pizza when I called in my order, not an issue, deep dish always takes that long. I showed up 45 minutes later and was told another 10 minutes, again not an issue, I'd like my pizza to be cooked properly. I gave them 20 minutes and when I returned I was told another few minutes. After 10 I asked how much longer and was told maybe another 10 minutes or so? By this time it's been an hour and a half and they were completely unapologetic about it. Almost two hours later I had my pizza and it was the worst example of a deep dish I have ever seen! No thick crust to hold up the sauce, thin crust simply shaped as a deep dish. Not the right consistency, the sauce not chunky as deep dish should be, just a generic marinara. Under that, a super fake tasting cheese, it was just plain sad and delicious e wound up tossing it. The calzone and Stromboli were better, generous in filling and made well, a much better value. The poor service and sorry deep dish keeps me from ever wanting to return again. read more

Love Surfside Pizza! When I work nights occasionally & I'm craving a cheese pizza; Surfside Pizza is my go to for Uber Eats delivery! It arrives hot! The cookie is amazingly hot and big enough for 3 people! They never forget the containers of sauces and my sugar free Red Bull is always icy cold! Super good! read more

Another perfect pizza. The crust is spot on, every time. The amount of fresh veggies and toppings makes for good... But the olives and pepperoni you use is best around. read more

Really good pizza and wings! One of my buddies told me about this place and I am stoked I tried it. 5 stars for sure !!!

I had a personal supreme and order of hot wings. It was good pizza and wings. The guy at the order counter was very nice and so was the staff from the kitchen who brought out my order. The gentleman who may have been the owner was not so friendly. He could improve on his customer service skills. read more

This is a friendly little pizza shop with lots of great toppings of as well as deep dish pizza (call ahead so you don't have to wait). It feels very mom and pop and its nice to support local businesses that have great products! There is a patio with outdoor seating with rather limited seating inside. While there, they were setting up for a large group outside, so it might be a good place for pizza after sport practice for kids, etc. It's also by the DMV, so if you're waiting in line, you can place an order while you get business done then treat yourself when you're done! read more

Let me preface this by saying the first time they did figure out we paid, and the second time they did find our house finally, and this last time they did bring a corrected pizza after about an hour 15minutes. That being said we will likely never be going back here as their service and quality is never the same. It can be one way today and completely different tomorrow, and unfortunately leans towards issues every time. We had come here with the old owners then had stopped when quality went down, then we came here with the new owners and it was great but service issues caused us to stop ordering for a while. Just recently we tried it again. They have an online ordering service called slice. We did this about a month or two ago and paid through the slice service. When the pizza arrived they tried to make us pay again, and it took a big argument even with an email proving the order was completed, since slice doesn't send a receipt clearly stating paid, to convince them we had in fact paid already. We tried again after a few weeks but this time we called because of issues with the slice online ordering and didn't want to have to prove we paid again. This time we called it in and after about an hour we called since they said 45 min originally for delivery, they told us it was on the way. Then another 30 min went by and we called them back and they said they guy was on the way. Then after another 10-15 min the delivery guy called and asked for a different person. He said he couldn't find our house. Finally after another 15-20 min my wife just met him out on the road to get the pizza. Our address is clearly marked and easily found by any gps program, and we had had delivery from here many times before. They clearly wrote the address and name down wrong and we got cold pizza for it with no discount, refund, or even real apology, just excuses. We hadn't gone back after this until yesterday, We again tried slice, This time there was no issue with payment. However we ordered a meats pizza add rib tips, which for a 20" runs about $11 more than just a 1 topping. When the pizza arrived it only had rib tips and nothing else, and to top it off most of the rib tips had large inedible cartilage they didn't cut around. (See pics) I called to complain and they said they could do nothing and i had to call the owners cell phone and he would handle it. I called the number they gave me and it went straight to voicemail without any greeting. I called the store back and they said they could give me a discount next time we ordered. After much complaining, they did finally offer to remake and redeliver, but only after the delivery driver can back and took the call, but it would be an hour and a half or more. We had guests leaving after a bit and had were not able to pick up, so we had to go with the replacement. All this was after much explanation that everyone there is new and doesn't know what to do and there are no managers working. After about an hour 15 min we did get the correct pizza minus the extra $4.50 rib tip topping we had originally wanted because we were afraid of more bones/cartilage in them. So we still ended up being sol for $4.50 on this order. Which is almost enough to buy a whole medium pizza at pizza hut. Never heard back from owner, no surprise there. Too bad, because their pizza is actually good but too many issues to bother with them again, not when there are plenty of other choices. read more

Ugh, i tried it again. Silly me! The pizza just keeps getting worse. If I don't throw up tonight I will be surprised. Pure shit pizza.

We've never had a pizza with such skimpy toppings and poor quality cheese. Won't order again for the price we paid.

We met up for lunch and had the best Stromboli, meatballs and salads! It's hard to believe the quality of the food in such a unique location in a corner mall by the DMV. I really think this is one of San Clemente's best kept secrets. read more

I am so happy I discovered this little place. It is really quaint and cute (love the mini Pacman tabletop arcade game) and the pizza was delicious. The homemade crust - YUM. AND it's brushed with garlic & herb butter - double YUM. I also tried the antipasto salad and it was a meal by itself with a really hearty portion. I'll be back to try more! read more
