    mushroom pizza
    Ainsley J.

    Such a cute date night/hang out spot! We went on a Tuesday & they do a special martini menu for Tuesday nights. The outdoor seating area was so comfortable - perfect spot to get together with friends! Our server Hailey was so sweet and the food came out so quickly & was so amazing. We got their burrata snack as an appetizer, it was a 10/10 and we ate it too quickly to get a pic. The mushroom pizza & caesar salad were delicious and tasted so fresh. I can't wait to go back and try more pizzas!

    We stopped for dinner after failing to find a parking space at a nearby taco shop before a film festival showing at OCC. Parking was limited, especially considering the size of the restaurant, though this may be an issue to restaurants in this part of Costa Mesa. The waiter recommended the blue cheese honey pizza and it was great, albeit a tad too sweet for my tastebuds. The dough was delicious, but their baking process was not perfect -- see the giant burnt bubbles in the center of our pizza and crust (far beyond the typical "leopard spotting" on Neapolitan pizza). We also ordered a ribeye and it was fantastic. The purple mashed potatoes were a colorful treat. Our service was good, but kitchen turn around time was slower than expected. If you're on a time crunch, like we were, save this place for a casual date night. I'd love to come back and see if the burnt pizza was a one off.

    We went to 2145 Eats after a workout and I couldn't think of a better meal. It was absolutely delicious! The pork belly is definitely one of the show stoppers there, we were OBSESSED with the flavor. The argula and dressing complimented the pork belly nicely. I also loved the garlic pizza we got, I am a huge fan of garlic and it had such a good amount! Our other pizza was delicious too, but I do prefer the garlic one better. The fries were also delicious, with a nice crunch and some house made sauces to compliment them. Since it just opened up, there was plenty of room for us and we were seated quickly. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and it was pretty cool given there's shade in that area. Would definitely come back again!!

    Sausage pizza

    Ohhhh yeahhhh! Finally got to check this off my list. Their food does not disappoint!! The cocktails are beautifully crafted and they taste amazing!!! Their Caesar was delicious and large!! Enough to share! The pizzas!! We got 3 different ones to share and they were all delicious!!! My favorite was the Calabrese with hot honey. The sausage one was our other fave. Parking is valet or you can find parking across the street.

    A really cool spot with great food and drinks. Came on a Thursday night around 5:30 and there was no wait. Sat on the back patio which had heaters. Dog friendly restaurant FYI. Our server, either Melissa or Marissa, was awesome. Very friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. She was perfectly attentive and just an all around great server which is not altogether common nowadays. We had the Brussels sprouts which were so good but a smaller portion than I expected. That could have been because they were on HH. The blue honey pizza was amazing too! Great flavor combo. Loved the crust!! Wood burning ovens are a totally different experience than I'm used to- the crust is almost like naan bread and not a typical pizza crust. Would I come back? Probably not because I live in Laguna niguel but I would recommend this restaurant to those who have never been. My Paloma was delicious too!

    prosciutto pizza

    The pizza dough it's great, however I am not impressed nor will I be returning. The Tiger Shrimp Pasta was so gross, we had to have it remade. The Mushroom Pizza is the best thing on the menu probably. The marinara sauce is too thin & watery on all the other pizzas. The Cesar Salad is alright, nothing special. The Fries saved the day because they were amazing but why tf are they $10? lmao. Servers were a mess, so unorganized. We got so many items on the house because they messed up on so many things.

    Diavola pizza was amazing! That's a mezcal cocktail, packaged in a dainty wrapper. Like brass knuckles in a velvet bag.

    It's a cool place, with a relaxed but special vibe. There's a full bar with a strong craft cocktail menu. Neapolitan pizza with great salads and appetizers. Serviced is friendly and attentive. It's on the slightly pricey side, but the vibe is there if you're looking for a casual night out with a little sparkle.

    We were in the area and craving Neapolitan pizza. Thankfully the wait was minimal and we were seated quickly. Service was helpful and our pizzas came out fast. The main dining area is a covered patio so their gas heaters were crucial to keep the diners comfortable. We all really enjoyed our pizzas although I personally felt like the dough ratio was too much for me.

    Gabagool

    Came here for dinner last Thursday. Good food and service. Haven't been here in a while but my hubs was here with his friend a week ago and enjoyed it. Valet parking only but if you don't mind walking and getting some steps, it's right next to a residential area where there's plenty of street parking. We had a couple of appetizers that were good - melon (honey dew) and prosciutto and brussel sprouts. For entrees, we ordered salmon and Gabagool pizza (with cured pork, hot honey, basil and San Marzano marinara).

    Pizza is incredible! Fresh ingredients and a flavorful crust. Cool spot but strange parking situation- there is only valet on site. You can park at the church across the street for free.

    Yummy pizza! Came on a Friday night and the OC weather was just perfect. I was able to join the Yelp waitlist so we were seated right away after checking-in in person. We ordered drinks, fries, and two pizzas: The Spicy Salami and the Gabagool. For my drink, I had the Costa Mesa Mai Tai. It tasted delicious, I could barely taste the alcohol, but boy oh boy was it strong for one drink. LOVED IT. By the end of dinner, I was feeling goooood haha Now the pizzas were terrific! Slightly upscale without being too extravagant for a pizza. The crust was FABULOUS! I normally skip eating the end crusts but this crust was sooo fluffy and tasted delicious dipped in their ranch. I appreciated the beautiful char and leoparding on the pizzas. Between the two, our entire table preferred the Gabagool. Such good pizza! Service was a little slow. But our server ended up being such a sweetheart so I truly can't complain. Overall, a fun restaurant! I'd definitely come back and have more pizza!!!

    Came here for dinner with a bunch of friends. There is valet parking at their lot but they told us to park at the lot across the street for free which we did. We ordered a bunch of appetizers which I did not care for but the pizzas were amazing. The combinations and toppings were unique and the dough was excellent. Would definitely come back.

She had told me about it before and really wanted to take me, so I was excited to finally check it out. It's a very small place, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation online.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the drinks were wonderful. The staff really stood out to me. They were attentive, kind, and professional throughout the night.

The atmosphere could have been cool, but every 5 minutes the bright hallway light blasted through the western-style swinging door and completely ruined the dark speakeasy vibe. The drinks were tiny and overpriced. We ordered two Old Fashioneds and the giant ice cubes took up almost the entire glass. Larger than a normal square ice cube- a little taller. But it seriously felt like they split one drink into two. Barely a shot in each glass, and the cocktails themselves were just so-so. Very syrup-y flavor. Definitely not "bespoke" or unique the was the server was upselling us. Service started good but when he got busy it went downhill. And by busy he got (1) 5 top.....He was excited about explaining the menu but then never once came back to check on us. When we finally flagged him down and asked for the check, he just dropped the handheld payment terminal on the table, walked away, grabbed it when we finished paying, and said absolutely nothing... no "thank you," no "have a great night," nothing. And this was after we still tipped 20%. Definitely not worth the money, service, or atmosphere. We won't be back.

I am so glad I did, especially since it was happy hour. The place definitely has a great vibe to it. Plenty of seating throughout the restaurant. I recommend sitting at the bar as that's where all the action happens. You definitely want to make sure you get there for happy hour and Taco Tuesday especially, $10 Margaritas $4 tacos and these are not cheap tacos. These are like serious tacos that will fill you up. Their salsa is great, not super spicy and makes great for munching while you're talking with friends. The margaritas are definitely strong, which is nice, as some places tend to water them down for happy hour. I would say that this is a great choice to go check out and have a taco or two or three or four. I had the carne asada, the carnitas, and the pastor, every single one of them was perfect and the salsa that they came with was out of this world. Bottom line? This is a great place for Taco Tuesday as well as just a hangout and have a drink after work. Whenever I am in Costa Mesa. I am definitely coming here again.

When we arrived, we were shocked to see they were going to squeeze us into someone else's table filled with people that could not comfortably seat four additional people next to them . Horrified we requested what we originally booked and they said NOTHING accept they were REALLY BUSY and pointed us to the outdoor fire pits with no proper chairs or seating just a firepit to put a child to sit in front of. At this point zero management came to address this and zero servers as we asked for one . We were completely ignored . We were so hungry we just sat down desperate and starving. There was no omlette bar. (I was told on the phone there was an omlette bar before booking ) No sauces to go with any food. Dried up scrambled eggs and just a few dishes to choose from this 'buffet'. The ONLY salad dressings they had (2) were super sweet (no ranch) nothing . No flavor . Their non meat dishes were just one horrible dried up bean and grain pattie obviously frozen out of a box even an animal would never eat . It was that bad . Their 'replacement ' for almost zero dishes was a pancake ststion obviously to cut costs even more . The food was horrible . When you anticipate a special Mother's Day brunch that is horribly overpriced and get this in return its so disappointing and apalling .We were prepared to walk out after our bad news of no proper seating and terrible start but by then obviously we couldn't just go to another brunch on Mother's Day . Plus our other two guests were parking with a child so we were stuck. This was our only option or nothing. Its unbelievabke how am estsblishment can treat people like this especially on a soecial day like Mother's Day amd can command their pricing with no proper and safe seating for 4 with safe and healthy distancing with a fire pit as a SEAT. No apologies , no manager , nothing . just a terrible high bill, very little options and poor food quality . At best we should get a refund as this was false advertising and did not get a table for up to 4 . What an awful Mother's Day Brunch . We go out to eat EVERYWHERE around here but can't believe sonething like this can exist . So sad . This part of the day was ruined .
