Great mom and pop pizza establishment I've lived down the block for years, and always saw this spot…read morebut never gave it a chance. ~12 years later, I live a few miles away but this spot always had me curious! Today was the day! Known for their extra-never-seen-before large pizzas, they also have a "big slice" which is an XL size pizza slice for $5 and $0.75 for every additional topping after the standard cheese pizza. My overall impressions: - took a minute but came out fresh, crispy, and most important hot with an incredible cheese pull - I would've appreciated more tomato sauce for a little more salt/tang content and moistness, but loved the thin and crispiness. - would definitely come back!

Wanted something hot and not too expensive and I found this place local and I've never known about it.. I wish I would've taken pictures. The food was delicious. I will definitely come back.

First time at Calixtos Pizza. I placed a phone order. Originally, I wanted a Canadian bacon and…read morespinach pizza. Bummer - no spinach no artichoke hearts available. I ordered a Canadian bacon and tomato pizza. The pizza was tasty. My true test of good thin crust pizza is the next day out of the refrigerator. The pizza held its shape. And, the cold pizza was yummy. My favorite pizza in SoCal is Big Rob's Sicilian Pizza. But, Calixto's Pizza is another option to try. I think it would be great to take on a road trip stored away in an insulated bag.

We got three of the slices our waiter recommended: Stay loose, Haole, sauce addiction, and mo honey mo problems. We loved that they had Detroit slices as well as the normal thin crust. The crust on the Detroit slice is light and airy even though it looks super thick like a focaccia slice. Although we liked the Detroit slice the thin pies were definitely our favorites. The crust isn't tough and was a good balance of crispy and fluffy. I thought the Stay Loose, Haole was a bit too salty and could have used more pineapple but the Sauce Addiction was amazing. Overall, I will 100% be back to try more slices and their appetizers! Ratings Stay Loose, Haole: 4/5 Sauce Addiction: 5/5 Mo Honey Mo Problems: 4.5/5

I've been coming to RIIP Pizza, Beer & Co. since 2020, and there is a reason this place is always…read morepacked. It is easily some of the best food in Huntington Beach. The Highlights: * The Food: They have some of the best pizza, mozzarella sticks, and even the Coke tastes better here. Even the chicken wings are solid. The taste and quality of the food are consistently high. * The Vibe: The environment is really unique and the service is always cool. It's a great local spot. * Logistics: Parking can be a bit of a struggle, but I've never had a major issue other than the line being long--which just goes to show how popular it is. The Only Critique: My only issue is that something in their ingredients routinely makes me feel unwell. I'm not sure exactly what it is--it's not just standard grease--but every time I eat it after taking a week off, I feel pretty bad for about 3 hours afterward. I suspect it might be a specific chemical or something like monosodium glutamate (MSG), but the food is so good that I honestly end up eating it anyway. Final Thoughts: If you can handle whatever "mystery ingredient" is in there, it's a 5-star experience. I'll keep coming back for the flavor alone!

After seeing West Grove Pizza featured on KTLA news, my husband suddenly decided we had to try it…read more-- apparently my months of saying I'd heard it was great didn't quite carry the same weight! We went for dinner and ordered a large pizza: half Big Kahuna for my husband and half Brooklyn Bridge for my son and me, along with a glass of wine for me and a beer for the boys. We grabbed a table outside on the nice little patio, which made for a perfect evening. Well... my husband immediately started eating my half of the pizza and loved it so much that we ended up ordering another large pie -- yes, another Brooklyn Bridge -- and not a single slice was left by the end of the night. The crust alone deserves recognition: easily one of the best-tasting pizza crusts we've had. I've heard the gelato is top notch, but after the boys demolished two large pizzas, dessert was simply not happening. We'll definitely be back soon to try the New York Bagel Deluxe. The short rib lasagna sounds amazing, too! Service was top notch -- very friendly and welcoming staff -- and it's great that they offer both indoor and patio seating. Highly recommend!

Pros: fresh ingredients, tasty pizza, yummy Caesar salad and dressing…read more Cons: super soggy crust, tip machine starts at 20%, lettuce a little wilted, but not brown. I find it absolutely insane that a FAST-CASUAL restaurant would START THE LOWEST tipping button at 20%. The only thing the staff does for service is bring the food to your table and bus afterwards. You get your own utensils, your own drink and refills, and you order at the counter. The audacity of starting the tipping buttons at 20% for that is insane. It's part of a greedy mindset that turns me off from any fast -casual business that would do this. And that's asking for a minimum of 20% off a fairly expensive meal. I don't blame the restaurant for that. Everything is expensive these days, but I certainly wouldn't call the food a value, just on the expensive side of fair.

The waitress from the beginning was super kind. Everyone was super attentive! The food was great, the sauce they have on the table had such great flavor. Pizza was the perfect crunchy, thin pizza for sure but the dough had such grate flavor. The spaghetti was so good as well(my friend prefers her noodle super soft and this place did have them a little more al dente). Muscles they really enjoyed as well, I personally don't like muscles so didn't try them. The ambiance was super chill and very home like. Great music as well!

I've lived in HB for years and somehow just discovered Bollini's Il Forno, and I was totally…read moreimpressed. Came in with my husband and our 15-month-old and had such a great experience. It had great vibes and upbeat music without being too much, and the service really stood out to me. You can tell it's a strong team, everyone checked in and helped in some way, which made it feel really welcoming especially with a young child. Everything was so good. I love that their pizza and pasta is made with fresh-cut noodles using the best ingredients. I got the Cesar Salad, NY Pizza and the carbonara and it was fantastic. Best part of the night - the chef surprised us with a personalized pizza for my son on the house. Such a thoughtful touch and completely unexpected! Our waiter said we actually never do that, and people have asked for personalized pizzas before. Just wow, so cool. Thanks so much! I've been talking about this place since we left. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

I thought it was worth it even with our kids because we love the pizza and salad. But to wait at least another 30 minutes once we ordered to have our food brought out was inexcusable. The waitress said there was "a lot of to go orders." In house diners who have waited to get a table should take priority over to go orders. If you're that busy, perhaps invest in another oven. The food and wine was delicious and I'd only return during off peak hours. But something needs to be done to expedite service.
