Immediately greeted by the sweetest gal behind the counter today AND she brought our pizzas to the table when they were ready, amazing customer service! She was definitely 5/5 stars. If you don't like thin crust pizza, which is their standard, i recommend asking for thick crust. While enjoying my pizza, I noticed the TV had Fox News on.... read more

They don't have a proper delivery pick-up system, not even any labels to know where to go so you have to go to the register and I'm assuming they expect you to wait in line behind the people paying, which is improper delivery system planning and if you wait around the cashier, they'll simply ignore you (which is very passive aggressive implying you to wait in line for them to engage with you). If I had to pay like everybody else to get the delivery order, I'd happily wait in line, but why the f*ck would I wait in line when I simply have to pick up the order and that's all, no paying or anything. Have a better delivery pick-up system if you're gonna have delivery available. Go to your winning competition that does delivery and take some notes. read more

This cute little pizza spot is located in Woodbridge Village Center, at one end of North Lake in Irvine, California. We walked here, along the lake, while staying with my sister, as Irvine is a beautiful, walkable city. The thing that stands out to me about this location is the excellent service. We were a large group and disorganized. I've never been here before. Our server was extra helpful and took the time out to explain everything on a busy Friday night. They have great gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. We chose to order two The Chronicle. Extra large pizzas on cauliflower crust, and two salads. As the pizzas roll through the heating element and come out, you are met with them at the cash register on the other side. Here the server asks if you'd like shredded basil and pesto sauce to top off your pizzas. We chose fresh basil, and it was very good. The pizzas are sliced and placed into boxes and given to you. There are paper plates and disposable utensils near the beverage station. There's plenty of seating inside at tables and there's an enclosed patio outside if that gives you a view to the Woodbridge common area and playground. I thought our pizza was amazing and delicious. The crust was nice and crunchy and the pizza had toppings I loved, including artichoke hearts. Everything tasted really well together. It was a lovely dinner and evening spent on the patio with family. The nice thing about this location is the several other food spots within feet of this pizza place. We went around the corner and got some frozen yogurt after dinner for our walk home. read more

This review is gonna be soley about the GREAT service that we got from Munir. His customer service skills are amazing. He was acknowledging every customer that was coming through the door as well as walking out. Yeh I have worked in retail for many years. Employees do what their employers tell them to do but some take pride in what they do and it shows in their action. Munir is one of those employees. Thank you Munir for making our lunch experience amazing. The pizza was yummy as well! Keep up the amazing job! read more

We come here often and the kids love it. Food is pretty good and it's better than other places near by. The reason they don't get a better star rating is because it's not kept clean. the dirty bathrooms are horrible. They smell. It's just a big problem that hasn't been fixed . read more

Founded in 2012 and with locations nationwide, The Pizza Press wants you to "be newsworthy" by creating your own custom pizza/wings or selecting a signature pizza/salad and pairing with one of the many craft beers on tap. The restaurant theme is inspired by 1920s Americana newspaper which explains why their signature pizzas have names like "The Times" and "The Tribune". We visited the Woodbridge location off Barranca Parkway for dinner after catching a movie at the AMC next door. The restaurant was busy and looked to be popular among local teenagers and families. There's also a playground conveniently located outside. We ordered the Publish Your Own (PYO) Pizza and topped it with fresh and premium ingredients like spicy red sauce, minced garlic, mozzarella, pepperoni, smoked ham, bacon, meatballs, mushrooms and jalapeños. Service was friendly and efficient. If you're a fan of the 'build your own pizza' concept and you've never been before, then it's time to check out The Pizza Press! read more

We walked in on a whim while waiting for friends to finish a movie at the AMC next door and we are so happy we did. The place was cute, they had a couple of booths and lots of table to sit. We order a regular cheese and "The Times" specialty pizza. It was so good and fresh. We could stop saying how good it was. We also order bbq bone in wings and they were the right amount of crisp and juiciness. The service was great and the staff was very helpful. Not sure why they have 3 stars. They are great! read more

My family of 5 came in early Sunday afternoon 2/22/26 for a bite before our movie. My brother ordered two signature pizzas for the family while I ordered a build your own pizza for myself. For toppings I chose peperoni, sausage, pineapple and jalapenos. I didn't want any extra sauce for my pizza just a rance cup. There were plenty of toppings on my pizza and overall it was made well and tasted good. I noticed there were only two female staff working the line. One making the pizzas and the other adding finishing touches and working cashier. It started getting busy while we ate and a young man came out from the back and helped out. While the cashier slipped out to wipe tables and seats. I've been to two other Pizza Presses and they usually have at least 4 staff working the line and maintaining the dining room. Lunch was great and I would return and recommend if we are in the area again. read more

Customer service was really good during the Pi Day sale. The line was so long but the workers remained efficient, patient, and nice. Pizza tasted great! I love that Pizza Press offers a pink sauce base, one of the main reasons why I like this chain over the other build your own pizzas. read more

Placed an online order. Showed up at the time as stated on the order. They said the order was being made. Wait another 20 minutes, still being made. Finally got the pizza half an hour after the stated time. Place was empty. The order was wrong. Checked my online order to make sure I had placed the correct order, and yes, it was correct. The only redeeming star is that the pizza was good. Everything else is awful. read more

There's some girl with a bunch of nose piercings on her face, she's very rude and impatient. She has a bad attitude, rolls her eyes, and looks upset all the time. She has no customer service skills. I went here yesterday and the service was awful. The pizza was actually really good, but I don't think I'll be back because of how rude she was to me. It's a shame because the other employees are nice and the place is very clean, and like I said, the food is very good, but this just put me off. read more

We come to the Irvine location once or twice a week with a 4 and 6 year old. This part of Irvine is mostly families with children. Last night we came in for dinner. One of the kids has adhd AND feeding issues and it's hard for her to sit still. So I usually ask for them to put a cartoon on their large screen tv so both kids will sit still (esp adhd). They usually do it but the "supervisor" sometimes gives attitude about changing the channel. Such was the case last night. The supervisor refused to put cartoons on bc there is a "game on" and in the "long run it's better for profits to have the game on". Mind you there were no other customers there for at least half hour so he put the game on for hypothetical customers and couldn't care less about ACTUAL customers. He couldn't care less my kid was having a tantrum and when I asked him to call store manager and see if an exception can be made during "the game" when there are no other customers present he said he spoke to the manager and the answer is NO EXCEPTION. My adhd kid had a major meltdown and it ruined our evening. My other kid got a stomach ache from the pizza. Hope the owner sees this and changes this dumb NO EXCEPTION policy. read more

Received via Door Dash; it was a direct and on time delivery. That said, the pizza crust is very thin yet was doughy/raw/chewy throughout the whole middle/center of pizza. Yuck. The garlic-cheesy bread is nothing more than a very thin crust, oblong shaped cheese pizza. The side red sauce/marinara arrived ice cold, thick and seemed more like tomato paste? Yuck. To round all this out; there was a side salad. Loads of disappointing/odd tiny unseasoned croutons. There was fancy packaging but I'd rather of had dynamite food. Disappointing and won't happen again. read more

Pizza tasted good, staff was a bit disorganized and service slow but friendly, interior a bit run down, prices good. I would give 5 stars. However, I got mild/moderate food poisoning and did not sleep last night, so 1 star in lieu of an official health complaint. My wife did not but she is 8.5mo pregnant and that is terrifying. I overheard staff talking about food temperature and possibly witnessed food being thrown out, now I think I understand. read more

It saddens me that I would have to leave a review based on something minor, but first impressions are lasting impressions. My wife and I "EACH" downloaded the app for the establishment looking for new restaurants in the area since we moved here for ministry. We signed up for the rewards program and received an email for a free item. We also received a notification/alert on the app for the same item in the app's inbox. We decided to go today and when arrived the manager on site named Rachel informed me that they no longer offer that and it was nothing she could do. She was very kind and thorough but explained to me that they are working on the app to remove it but also that I can go to the location located at 1700 S Harbor Blvd, Anaheim, CA. What doesn't make sense to me is that if the company no longer offers it, why would you send us to another location? In addition to that if it's the company's fault/issue, why shouldn't as a business accommodate for the consumer/customer? I relayed to her prior to me being a pastor, I worked in retail and banking industry in management I would always work to accommodate a client/customer especially if it was an issue on the company's end or if the customer went out of the way. Gas is over $5 per gallon now and it saddens me that this establishment is basically not taking care of the consumer. I pray this complaint reaches the right person(s) and hopefully my wife and I hear back from someone regarding the matter. read more

The garlic cheesy bread was $7! Insanely cheap considering how much a cheese pizza goes for these days. Delicious, quick, and convenient. Staff were great, and the interior is nice. The outside seating is set up well, but I opted for inside considering it's 88 degrees in October...go figure! This was my second time dining here and I will be back. read more

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Both pizzas were extremely salty and left us feeling nauseous the rest of the evening.

Nooo no no- don't do it. First off I have to say, I made a mistake. I went for a salad and the boneless wings. Big no no. Let me break it down. Chicken Caesar salad- $12.50 & came pre-made in a plastic bowl with a packet of dressing! Just like from a vending machine. Awesome. And a bad salad generally- Albertsons prepackaged is better. Boneless wings- again, FROZEN. These defrosted, toasted but still slightly mushy "wings" come naked with the sauce you choose on the side for dipping. Go with Tyson frozen wings rather than wasting your money here. Pizza- "build your own!" Finally the food they specialize in! Tried my husbands, the crust was very thin (but not in a good way?) and somehow the pizza was still soggy in the middle and just generally bad. All in all- go to TJ's and buy their frozen food instead- it'll be a better experience! read more

Came here today for the first time. I had the chicken caprese salad and the Chronicle pizza. Both were delicious. The basil they use here is so fresh and just gave such a burst of flavor in every bite. The crust could have been cooked a tad more as the center of our pizza was too soft and had a large soggy section however the flavor was still great. I do wish they offered iced tea but they still had tons of other drink options. There was a nice open feel to the dining area with lots of natural lighting and the location is great too. read more

This place is great! The food was delicious and the staff is friendly!! I will definitely be coming back!

Quick, easy to order, and fast is how I'd best describe this pizza shop. Overall the pizza itself is unimpressive. But, if you're looking for something that is what I described shots l above, then The Pizza Press is your spot. The location offers indoor and outdoor seating, but no table-side service. The location was clean and fairly easy to find. Thus pizza restaurant felt like a conveyor line of pizza similar to Chipotle or Subway. read more

"finished with fresh basil and basil pesto" i do not see any of that. I waited almost 40 mins for my chicken wings because it seems like the employees forgot to even do it. I tipped 15% just to get such a sad looking pizza with missing toppings. None of the employees felt welcoming to me and felt uncomfortable talking to them because they look like they do not want to work. Not coming back. But ngl the wings are good though. read more

Take note that this place can take a while so as long as you're not in a rush they definitely have yummy options to choose from. Can create your own or find something off the menu to order but what's great is there are options for everyone and at a decent price for a casual quick atmosphere. The area here is a little bit more family vibes so keep that in mind if wanting more of a chill/sit down pizza vibe. Otherwise, can definitely order for pick up / to go. Movie theater nearby, plenty of outdoor seating and gorgeous views of the lake. read more

I used to have a Pizza Press right across the street but it's been gone for a bit. It was fantastic & I was craving a pizza. I ordered from Door Dash & am a bit disappointed in this one. Crust was thinner than I recall, toppings very haphazardly topped; some slices okay, others no topping. Toppings seemed slim from what I recall & even with delivery, pizza was quite cold. I'll given them another shot in person but wasn't particularly impressed, and rather a bit disappointed when I remember how good the one across the street was. read more

I like the idea of modifying your pizza to your liking, picking all of the ingredients you like but the prices are a little too high.

The pizza is pretty good, but they are super disorganized. The last few times we've been there they forgot something from our order and it's a hassle to get them to fix it. It's a decent place to go if they aren't busy. The pizza is made fresh, but I don't think we will plan to come back. read more

I ordered 2 extra large pizzas , the Harold and Chronicle. i always customize the Harold, by adding garlic and caramelized onions in the base, easy on mozzarella and add some Goat cheese and finish with arugula, herbs and ranch. It comes out amazing. I had to pay a little extra for customizing it. They have raised their prices but so is every where else. I had a coupon so that helped a lot. They were very busy making lots of pizzas probably for Super Bowl and a kids party. I thought the staff was very nice and were working very hard to make the large orders and help me and other customers. The cashier was very sweet and the 2 girls making the pizzas were also nice and answered my questions. The pizzas were delicious. I would definitely come back. read more

This place is a disgrace. The young crew preparing pizzas are not friendly at all, they prepared our pizzas like those were free, gross!! Regretted so bad leaving 20% tip. When I asked for plates guess what? NO PLATES, SORRY! Those were the cashier's words. UNBELIEVABLE. The soda machine has no many options. Tried Orange Fanta and I barely filled the cup half way when it ran out of it. The same cashier: "sorry no more of that", REALLY!!! The soda machine is super gross, the place is not clean at all. Please if you want to save yourself a headache don't come here. ZERO customer service, disgusting the way they prepared our food, disrespectful, way overpriced for the quality of the food. Honestly, we didn't eat our pizza, the trash can that's exactly where it ended. NEVER COMING BACK!! read more

We visited this place on Sunday night just in the time that store should be open and there were some customers . One of the workers, wearing a headset and making a lot of noise, started collecting chairs. When I politely asked him to be more gentle and quiet, he rudely ignored my request. Shortly after, before closing time, he abruptly asked all customers, including us, to leave while we were eating our food. When I inquired about his name, the Asian worker responded in a very rude manner, saying "CP with a capital C" in a dismissive tone . Another reason for my disappointment, which makes me want to give a zero-star review, is the state of the restroom. They had just cleaned it and locked the door. My friend and I, both pregnant, had soap on our hands and unfortunately found the restroom upstairs in the plaza blocked. We approached the pizza place and asked them to open their restroom door, explaining our situation and showing them our soapy hands. Shockingly, they refused, suggesting we find another restroom elsewhere. This response was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Overall, our experience was unbelievable. The staff were rude, the facilities were dirty, and their professionalism was severely lacking. read more

I need to give five stars for the customer service here. Went on a date here and the dude choke coughs into his beer and SPRAYS my face and the sneeze guard with fluids. Like in the movies... props to the sweet young girl prepping our pizzas. She didn't openly laugh over my food and did not bring her hands to her face in shock. Her commitment to food safety and sanitation is so remarkable. She also immediately cleaned the area after we paid. Safety star of shift for sure. Food was tasty and my cider was nice, too. read more

I've been getting more into personalized pizzas and I'm really happy with the Pizza Press. Of course, your pizza is made fresh and to your liking. They had plenty of toppings and options to make your pizza your own. It was pretty busy when I went but the wait wasn't unreasonable. I like to get some sauces on the side to dip my crust and the cashier seemed a bit annoyed when I came back to ask for sauce but it was busy so I get it. read more

Horrible burnt pizza with zero flavor and skimpy toppings. Dominoes or little Caesar's is better for half the price. There were a handful of customers and the two workers moved at a snails pace. The Caesar salad was the worst I've ever had. A bagged Fresh Express or Ready Pac from the grocery store is 10 times better. read more

Was craving some pizza before our movie so we decided to stop by this pizza place located right next door to the AMC. There was lots of parking available. I grew up in this neighborhood, so it was very nostalgic for me to come to this movie theater that had actually been closed down for a while.. Anyways this reviews is about the pizza press not the movie theater lol. The way it works here Is you order your pizza kind of like chipotle style it's basically like an assembly line where you pick your toppings or pick one of their signature pizzas. We ended up ordering the Tribune pizza and a Caprese Chicken Salad both were just ok , the salad came in a plastic to go type container and the pizza came out in a pizza box even though we dined in, I would recommend using pizza trays and recycle bowls as to not waste so much cardboard and plastic. Also I went back to the line to ask for dried red pepper for my pizza and they sent me to the cashier to ask for it. The cashier was busy so I stood their for a good few minutes before another worker asked me what I wanted I let her know and she handed me like 3 packets, when I got back to the table I realized it was Parmesan cheese, not pepper ; ( note to manager keep red pepper and parmesan packets/ dispensers by the drink area or at each table. The staff is mostly youngsters and they all seemed confused AF,this place has a lot of potential. It's a nice little shopping area I think with some minimal improvements it could be so much better. read more

I recently visited the Pizza Press and I have to say that I am not impressed. The prices were fair;y steep for personal size pizzas and they are not as flavorful as other brick oven pizzas I have tried. When interacting with their employees they seem unhappy to be there and not patient when some had questions. There is a lot of seating and the place is clean. However, if you are looking for a high quality pizza, skip the Pizza Press and try another place. read more
