So the last time we visited we wanted to dine in. Unfortunately, an $8 valet parking charge (plus tip) was a deal breaker so we kept on going. This visit was for another carry out as we've always done. They got the pizza right and the staff inside were great. Outside, the valet parking people, not so much. I pulled into the parking lot from Victoria. The valet staff behaved with the vigilance of a protective detail, treating me more like a potential threat than patron. Their demeanor felt closer to surveillance than service. We'll try again and park off site. 2145 is great but these parking goons should be replaced. read more

My son really likes pizza. So for the second time this weekend, I had to find a place serving pizza. On a Sunday it was very quiet. We grabbed a table on the patio and ordered our food. My son liked the pizza but not the pizza oven char marks. If you take your dining advice from a 4 yr old, this is must know information. He also liked the Cesar salad and his cranberry juice. It wasn't expensive and we were in and out in about an hour. We'd repeat the experience. read more

My daughter's friend who is a local recommended 2145 Eats. We called and made reservations, requested patio seating we brought our daughter's dog. Server Luke and support staff was friendly and checked in on us! Food was delicious! Really enjoyed the tomato risotto! The cheesecake which was made on house was amazing! Parking on site! Highly recommend! read more

Really interesting place! I had no idea that this was also a venue that could be reserved for a wedding or some kind of event as well. Did not get to check that part out but it sounds lovely. I am not sure about the other side but where we were sitting and all, the parking is pretty tight which is pretty typical for Costa Mesa for some reason. So just be mindful of that! Walking in, they seemed pretty busy because they were getting ready for some reserved event, I think. We were seated in the patio which I actually enjoyed with the tree in the center. I liked the ambiance and I imagine in the evening with the candles lit, it could be very cute. My friend and I got our plates and utensils and they weren't washed the best so we just wiped them ourselves (probably could have asked for another set). But, minor mishaps for some reaaaaaally good food and a really awesome waitress. We got the Brussel Sprouts and they were so so good. The pomegranate and cashews and goat cheese with the roasted Brussel Sprouts were an amazing combo. Would definitely get that again. Also the pizza was really great quality. They definitely know what they are doing with their pizza. I would say the food in itself was awesome. Our server, Marissa is fantastic and great to talk to. Very kind and gave us great recommendations. I would give her and the food at 5/5 (10/10). I'd recommend this place to friends. It's pretty neat and the food is good. read more

The food here was good! Nothing amazing, but everything was pleasant. I really enjoyed the brussels sprouts because of the seasonings and the pomegranate seeds. The burrata and prosciutto pizza was also pretty standard. I did love the crust as it was nice and chewy. I think the main selling point of this place is the patio in the back. It's pretty and a great place to have a catch up with friends! Parking is tricky though as they only have a small spot and not much street parking around. You can call to ask for other places to park. read more

Came here for a birthday party and I would say this place is good for big groups! Servers were really sweet and ambience is nice outside. Drinks were good, food was ok. The "garlic bread" was just cheese and garlic on pizza dough. The margherita pizza was good, but nothing special. Same with the Cesar salad. With all the pizza in OC now, I probably wouldn't come back here unless I needed a place to accommodate a big group. read more

Food is good and a nice ambience . Would go back again , FYI valet only $8 valley charge . read more

We love 2145 and have been quite a few times...just forgot to write a review. It's always been great - the food, the service, and setting is all really great. I hope I am getting the name right - but we went this weekend and Peter was our server. Could not have been more helpful and thoughtful. We have celebrated a few birthdays here...and will certainly be back. read more

I'd give it a 3.7/5! It's not quite a 4/5 for me, but I'll round up. My expectations of this place were pretty high! We came just in time for happy hour, and got a few things off of the HH menu (pizza, fries, and a house salad). Everything was pretty good, but nothing wow'ed me. Specifically the pizza - I didn't know this was possible, but I think there was too much cheese. The crust was good though; fluffy and on the softer side. Our server was great, and even offered to bring us bug spray to avoid getting bit by mosquitos. The one thing though is the parking! It's a small lot of oddly shaped spots. Overall, I'm glad I tried this place, but don't know if I'd return on my own volition. read more

Found our new favorite pizza spot in OC (and there's a lot)! I LOVE mushrooms and so I will order every mushroom pizza out there and my god 2145 Eats has perfected this pizza. There is so much depth and flavor, I could eat it every day. Their pizzas come LOADED with toppings, we got Italian sausage added to our pepperoni which was a bit too salty for my taste but still really good. As if ordering 2 pizzas for 2 people isn't enough, we always have room for dessert and went with the Horchata Titamisu - AMAZING. Please order, I promise you'll love it. They have a nice large beer selection (cause pizza & beer are the perfect combo of course). The place is huge, so many different seating options, and is dog friendly in their front patio space! Service is always top notch. Another time we went we ordered their Italian Sausage Pizza and man was this good. Came in close to beating my favorite but nothing can beat my love for mushrooms and so the Sausage Pizza is coming in as my second favorite. We've also ordered the Margherita as well and you just can't beat a classic, always a good one to order. read more

Great authentic Italian pizza, with a pillowy crust! Tried a few different ones and they were all delicious!

Despite going on Valentine's Day, the service and food were fine. We especially liked the fall salad and Marguerite pizza read more

I've gotten some really mixed service here. Overall I like the pizza a lot. But I originally contacted them to schedule a party for a large group of people and after the initial call, they never called me back even though I followed up with a call. I had great service once when I came with family and another time when I sat outside waiting for them to open and they didn't attend to me until 30-40m after they opened even though I was clearly sitting in their bench right at the door the enitre time. Honestly, with all this being said, I don't think I'm coming back. read more

Came here with a party of about 15 and the service was great. Although it looks small from the outside, there's so much seating and it fit us comfortably. There's also valet so you won't need to worry about parking your car. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and was able to handle our large party without issue. I would definitely recommend this for a large party. The food was a little disappointing, I felt like the pizza was undercooked since the sauce and cheese slid off the pizza right as I picked it up. As the self proclaimed dessert king, the horchata tiramisu was not enjoyable either to the point where even with a large party on the table we all thought one spoon was enough. read more

Great place to go out. The food was so good, we had the pepperoni pizza and the flavor of the pepperoni was next level. The cheese bread very tasty also. The location looks like an old gas station, I really like what the did to make it upscale Make. Reservations and prepare to valet park, this place is busy read more

Our 5th time here and doesn't disappoint. The cocktails are made with love. Pizzas are fresh out of the oven. Steak burnt ends flavorful. Atmosphere is always adventurous. And Service is always spot on. Beer selection could be better. read more

Went here for a date night on a Monday! It was so nice to find a spot where they do happy hour after 5pm (happy hour all day Monday which is even better). We ordered brussel sprouts which was amazing and could not stop eating it. We also ordered the Gabagool pizza and it was so yummy! We also ordered hot honey on the side which made the pizza even better. I definitely want to come back here to try the other pizzas. Will be back soon! read more

2145 Eats - Brussel Sprouts and Gabagool Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We were looking for a good place to eat on a Saturday night. Parking was valet-only. We were seated immediately as a group of 10. The server greeted us quickly. We asked if we could split the bill and were told they do not split bills--even if it's only into two. This doesn't make sense, as any modern POS system (since at least 2002) can easily split checks. My wife and I shared the Prosciutto and Burrata pizza and the meatballs. The food was good and came out in a timely manner. Our only real complaints were with the service after the initial food drop. We only saw our server once more, a few minutes after the food arrived. After that, we didn't see any server for another 25 minutes. By then, there were only a few tables left, so the staff wasn't busy with other guests. When we finally flagged down a different server, he said ours was busy doing side work. Last time I checked, customer service should come before side work. Half the table had empty drinks for over 20 minutes by that point. I then understood why the service felt so indifferent: the restaurant automatically adds a 20% gratuity (or service charge) to the check for parties of 6 or more. Last time I checked, TIP stands for "To Insure Promptness"--yet we didn't receive prompt service after the start of our visit. The restrooms were also very unkempt by this time of night. read more

Best waitress I have had in a while! Constantly made me and my party feel welcomed and cared for. The outdoor seating was gorgeous with plenty of heaters for when the sun went down. Amazing pizzas, specifically the Italian sausage pizza. Also, I highly recommend the caesar salad due to the pickled onions which were the perfect touch! read more

We have been to this restaurant twice and we really like it. We hope to explore other options on the menu soon but for now we have just ordered the same things. We ordered a 2 pizzas , one pepperoni , Margherita , their fall salad and a few drinks. Everything had been really good, solid both times. A plus is that my almost 4 year old really likes it, he eats the crust from our pizza, we order him pizza sauce and parmesan cheese, he is a picky guy but he wont ever eat a little caesars pizza. He likes good quality ingredients he can taste them, what can I say. They have somewhat of an odd parking situation, the first time we went we parked in their parking lot easily but the second time they had valet as the only option. They don't really have much parking to begin with but it was kind of annoying having to pay for parking only to have it parked exactly where I parked it last time for free. I just didn't get it. Overall we like the experience at the restaurant , the food is good and the service is great and friendly, we will continue to dine here. read more

This is a 2 part review.... We came into 2145 for our first time back in November and sadly had a below average experience. We were recommended this place by a close friend and I was so excited to try it out. We came in on a Friday night(it wasn't very busy) and sat at the bar. That's where things took a turn. The "craft cocktails" were mediocre, our pizza came out burnt and fries weren't well done. When I asked if we could get our pizza remade it almost seemed like it was a burden. After what felt like some haggling, we finally got our pizza remade and it was actually really good. We left disappointed but not hungry. Part 2 We decided to come back with our friends that recommended us this place to give it another chance. We came in during a weekday night. We also sat at the bar again and right away our experience was completely different. Landon, the bartender, was so friendly and attentive to our needs. He joked and laughed with us and made us feel like we were right at home. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and history at 2145 as well! He made us an off-menu custom cocktail that we enjoyed with our dinner and it was was beyond delicious. After our dinner was done we were craving a dessert cocktail in which Landon created one for us on the fly. It was SO GOOD that we each ordered a second one Moral of the story is everyone deserves a second chance, even a restaurant! The food here is outstanding but It's because of Landon's hospitality and kind soul that we will be back for more!! read more

This was my first time here, and I was really impressed. The pizzas were excellent with fresh ingredients, great flavor, and a perfect balance of toppings. Our server was not only super friendly but also really helpful in guiding us toward the best pizzas on the menu, which made the experience even better. The Brussels sprouts were a standout side--crispy, flavorful, and something I'd definitely order again. The ambience here is warm and inviting with a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great spot for both groups and date nights. Overall, it felt like a place that cares about both food and customer experience, and I'd absolutely come back. read more

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. Great service! Would definitely recommend the Gabagool pizza.

Service was amazing, me and my friend had their pizza and it was so good!! Came out fast and the staff was super accomodating/friendly. 10/10 would go again. read more

I've been to this restaurant so many times, and I really enjoy the service and food every single time! It's by itself on a corner lot, valet parking after a certain time because of the limited sized parking lot. I can't think of one bad thing I've eaten here so I'll tell you some of my favorites: Italian sausage pizza is probably my favorite, the mushroom pizza is also really good. The blue cheese honey is great. The prosciutto and burrata pizza is good but I think the others are better. For starters, the meatballs and arancini are great choices. This place is always a solid choice for a great meal and friendly servers. read more

Great pizza, especially the mushroom pizza. We came with a party of 8 and ordered 5 appetizers (pork belly and brussel sprouts were delicious) and 4 pizzas. It was very busy but the servers managed to get us our food on time and re filled our water. They only let you sit for 90 minutes in the patio area because of some regulation which I was unaware of. Parking was a huge headache and we couldn't even get in the lot to valet park because the lot is too small and it was backed up (at 5pm) all the way on the street. read more

My friend and I grabbed lunch here on a Saturday afternoon- we arrived around 1 and the parking lot was full but they accommodated my friends car against the front fence. We had both driven past here for years, had it on our list and finally made it happen. There is lots of outdoor seating which is surprising because from the front you can't tell. They have canopies so it's mostly shaded. Staff were super friendly and helpful with choosing from the menu. The food came out quickly. My friend loved her kale salad, I loved the meatballs. The pork belly was a seasoned well but very dry. The fries were not as hot and fresh as I had hoped (they looked amazing) but were salted and the added cheese was great. I know this place is known for its pizza which our neighbors were enjoying and it did look amazing. We'll have to try that next time. read more

Gave another shot and we have been a few times. The pizza is good, as well as other items on the Menu. Glad we went back!

Always enjoy the good selection of beers, good food and great friendly service! Pizza always on point.

This place is a hidden gem. The hostesses were very friendly and helpful and got seated within a few minutes. The back patio has a beautiful bamboo setting. Once seated, they were quick to crank up the heaters, and it felt nice and cozy at our table. We started with french fries as an appetizer and they were amazing. We were greeted warmly by our server, who took our order quickly. The meatballs and pizzas were all great. Overall it was great experience. One small complaint is that they were out of toilet paper in the bathroom. We will definitely be back! read more

Came in for dinner with friends and it did not disappoint! We had a reservation and arrived early which didn't seem to be an issue because we were seated right away. Most of the seating is outside with heaters which was pleasant. Parking is valet ($7) or my friend read there's parking across the street at the Lutheran church (nobody was parked there and we didn't want to risk getting towed). We tried the garlic bread, mushroom pizza and my friends also tried the prosciutto burrata pizza. All of the food was delicious. Pizza crust is light but crispy- the best of both worlds. All flavors work well together. Our service was great and staff was very attentive. We didn't realize they close early-ish so be mindful of how late you arrive. Definitely check them out if you're looking for delicious wood fired pizza! read more

Man finally tried this place with my wife and it did not disappoint! It's a cool little place that has cozy vibes. The pizza was great if you're a fan of that style of pizza. We got the blue cheese and honey pizza plus a pepperoni with spicy marinara. Very tasty and tasted like quality ingredients from everything involved. We also got the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and those were some of the best ones we have had at a restaurant. Asa was our waiter and was awesome. Helpful, made great suggestions, went the extra the mile and was friendly. The whole staff were friendly as well which was great. To drink- We had good red wine and an aperol spritz. Parking lot is small- which is really only for valet. You can pay with card or Apple Pay. Apparently from other reviews there is a neighborhood to park but we didn't try. This is a place we will visit often to try other items on the menu for sure! If you're a pizza fan and never been, don't sleep on this place! read more
