I ordered online for pickup to go. The food was ready in 10 min. I ordered the meat lasagna which came with garlic herb focaccia bread. The bread had good flavor but it was overly toasted and hard like a brick. . The lasagna sauce lacked flavor other than being overly salty. The pasta was brittle like it was previously frozen, definitely not made fresh. The food was a bit disappointing and I would not recommend it. read more

Came for the calzone and not disappointed. I had been here a few years ago and liked but not near area so last week I made it appoint to make sure I had time to come get a to go order of Italian sausage calzone. Waited less than 15 mins or less and calzone was all ready to go. YUM I peeped in box on my drive as the smell was just so delicious. I torn a piece off and dipped in sauce it came with. I HONESTLY DONT KNOW WHY I WAITED SO LONG TO COME BACK HERE BUT THATS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. If you've never had I highly suggest you go and give it a try. Inside was very clean and not loud at all . It was around 4 pm on a Thursday read more

I decided to get lemonade nearby and saw this place. Decided to get pesto since they had it in the menu. It was a 15 minute wait to pick up my order. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The people were helpful and there is something for everyone. There is also seating available at this location. I got my order to go. read more

Great place to get your pizza fix! Gina's is a fast casual pizzeria (order at the counter and they call you up when your order is ready) that sells pizzas, pastas, and salads. They also offer pizza by the slice and their specialty is their giant slices! All are made to order, too! Plenty of seating inside and it's a comfortable/casual atmosphere. I would definitely return again! read more

Gina's Pizza - House Special - Biggaslice Pizza - Italian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This place has been on my radar for years now and I finally made it in. I should have made it over sooner. Excellent lunch specials and great daily deals too. Served plenty and not too hard on the budget. Friendly service and cool lil location. The food was excellent, Ive been 3 times now. Spaghetti and meatballs was a huge hit. They have great meatballs. Next up I did the pastrami sandwich with a salad. RASTA salad!! (Mix of traditional and pasta). FIRE!! (Yay Rasta Fire)!! LOL Nice to find good prices on great Italian food. Ill be back soon. (Being next to my new favorite coffee spot is a HUGE bonus)!! read more

Been throwing up all last night after having 2 slices of pizza and salad from this place. Not a good start for a Monday morning of missing work to be hunched over a toilet bowl. Something was definitely expired or unwashed. I will not be eating here again. read more

I received super rude service from Nic at your Costa Mesa location today. She was dishonest, dismissive, and argumentative. I had called in, on my way home from work, to place an order and was put on hold. I hung up after 3+ minutes and called back thinking she had forgotten. When she asked to put me on hold again I explained I'd already been on hold for over 3 minutes and asked if it would be a long hold. She said yes, it would be a 10-15 minute hold(!). I was almost there so I decided to just order in person. Once there, I half-jokingly asked her if she was really planning to leave me on hold for 15 minutes. She acted confused, and LIED and insisted no one had called! I showed her my phone and told her I literally talked to her 2 minutes ago. That's when she admitted it was her and that she had had a "rush." {Fact check: There were a total of 4 people in the restaurant}. She blamed her manager for "...not scheduling more people." She then said she didn't appreciate my rudeness(!). I was in no way rude. In fact, I was more bemused by her behavior. I ordered and asked how long it would take so I could come back (since she claimed they were so busy). She said, "I have no idea." I turned to the cook and he said they'd make it extra-fast. Well, what do you know? My meatballs were already done! They were so slammed after the alleged "rush" that my order was ready in less than 5 minutes. Thank you to the cook staff. I reminded her that she's in the SERVICE industry (as am I), and told her she might want to change her approach with customers. Now, can we talk about some of these 20-30 year olds? WHY are they so put-upon and antisocial? Why is it a chore to them to put the customer first and treat them with respect? Why do good businesses like Gina's not take better care in hiring and/ or training? I work with many young people who are poised, personable, and professional, so they *are* out there. I feel like we are enabling this behavior by keeping such low standards. We love Gina's but will be a while before I return. I hope they get it together. read more

We ordered from here through DoorDash and were really happy with everything. We got the pepperoni pizza and it was solid--the sauce was flavorful and the crust was really good. We also ordered a Caesar salad and it was fresh and tasty, no complaints there. Only small wish is that we had ordered ranch on the side (totally on us ). Overall, everything was good and we'd definitely order again. read more

I called on a saturday night and ordered one large pizza. The boy on the phone told me my order would be ready in 15 minutes. I showed up exactly 15 minutes later only to be told another 10 minutes. That extra ten minutes turned into another 10 minutes. I understand it's saturday night and it sucks to be working as a young teen but please be more accurate and considerate with customers time. The pizza has barely any pineapple on it and mind you, that's the only topping i got. read more

I came here by mistake mixing up this Gina's pizza for another my friend had recommend me to try. I wanted to really try out as many toppings as I could since they let you choose a lot. I didn't think I would have needed to emphasize the importance of separating the veggies and meats as I assumed meat on one half and veggies on the other with pineapple on both was not too complicated, but I suppose I was wrong. The bacon and the veggies were mixed all about on both sides of the pizza and my mom being a vegetarian couldn't even eat the pizza I had ordered us to share and I had to pick out the extra veggies I didn't like too. Which was fine except it kind of destroys the whole pizza and the cheese moves when you're picking the pizza apart. In the end the pizza was hardly appetizing and I don't think it would've even been that great if it wasn't for the big mess up with the toppings anyways. When I called to request a new pizza they told me the kitchen was already closed and they couldn't make me a new one even tho apple maps said they'd be open for another 2 hours. They said they've give me some credit for the next time I order with them but unfortunately after this experience i don't think I'll be back again. read more

stumbled upon gina's pizza just passing by once, and now it's hands down mine and my boyfriend's favorite pizza spot. if you're into thin crust, this place is a must-try. we always get the margherita pizza -- simple but so delicious and fresh every time. perfect crust, great sauce, and the cheese melts just right. definitely a go-to for pizza nights or picnics :) read more

I just ordered a chicken Parm sandwich and it is one of the worst sandwiches I've ever gotten. It taste nothing like a chicken Parm sandwich. It has lettuce, tomatoes, and honestly just taste terrible. read more

Gina's pizza in Costa Mesa used to be much better now it seems as though they do not purchase as much care into making their product.

My favorite pizza spot in the OC. I'm not quite a pizza connoisseur, but I know what pizza I like and could argue it is objectively very good. I truly love how this place allows you to customize your slice however you like. My go to is always a sausage and jalapeno slice--absolutely delish. The staff are incredibly friendly. I think the owner is usually always there, too? I can always strike up a friendly conversation myself, but the staff usually does too. It's a quaint little place off of PCH. You can get lucky with street parking, but there is a parking space right behind it. It's 15 minutes free and $4 after, if I'm not mistaken. I enjoyed dining in here, and also taking the pizza to go. Reheats well on a stovetop, air fryer, or even in the oven! read more

Gina's Pizza - pep & jalapeno; sausage & jalapeno (regular slices; their jumbo slices are massive and the size of an entire box) - Italian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This place used to be the best hole in the wall 7-8 years ago, very nice owner, helpful staff and good food Unfortunately I visited a couple of weeks ago and it was a complete disaster, service was horrible and couldn't even finish my food read more

I was recommended to come here for some really good pizza. So I decided to stop in and pre-order a pizza before arriving. They were very helpful over the phone because I did not know what to order. I ended up ordering a pepperoni pizza with vegetables and it took them about eight minutes to make it. When I arrived, they had the pizza ready for me and the service was quick, smooth, and they were very polite. There was one person making the pizza, one of them was prepping the orders, and the other one was charging me at the register. Good teamwork! The pizza was really yummy. It was not too oily, which I totally appreciate! It was a thin pizza, but it was exactly what we're looking for. I would definitely come back. By the way, there is seating inside if you're interested. Parking is easy as well. But it is a shopping center so there's not many seats outside if that's what you're looking for. But go inside, smell the yummy pizza, and enjoy your own pizza too. read more

You never really know how good the other more complex menu items will be at a speciality pizza shop. I thought I'd try Gina's for pasta. Great pick!! Plenty of home cooked taste. I'll be back read more

All my friends that live in the area swore by Gina's. My wife and I traveled from the Los Angeles area to try it. You order at the counter and the inside of the building gives you a real Italian vibe but it was a beautiful day so we ate outside. The crust, toppings, cheese and sauce all come together to create a delicious slice of pizza. The service was great and the staff were very helpful in helping us choose a pizza (they recommended the Godfather). I was not disappointed and will definitely come back for more when I am in the area. read more

Ordered two pizza's ( wanted a traditional veggie- no longer on the menu) got a margarita and house special. Both came with a thin crust that was over cooked. Tasted like paper. We've been buying pizza from Gina's since 1975 and have certain expectations. Will find a different pizzeria. Sad! read more

Placed a DoorDash order with the fam that was here from out of town. I've only been to the one in Newport, and maybe it's because it was a delivery but it didn't feel quite as fresh. Fam is from NY so you know they are quite picky but they still enjoyed got the godfather read more

Great pizza! It's slightly thick but not too thick. We love The Godfather plus onions and extra sauce. They have a nice ranch and also a cilantro dressing that I love. No corkage fee if you bring your own bottle off wine! read more

Pizza just doesn't seem the same as a year ago. Lacking sauce so the flavor is compromised. The cheese seems to be less with a different texture. Upside was the antipasto was as expected. Newport store RR was non-existent with paper and debris everywhere. This is our last visit, we are moving on to better flavor and better managed restaurants. read more

Pizza was made incorrectly. When I called to address the error their only solution was to give me a 25% discount on my NEXT order or for me to drive back across town to pick up another pizza. I made the commute (30 minutes round trip) and the pizza was not ready when I arrived. Overall poor service from the female working the phones. Do not recommend. read more

Locals here. Best pizza in the area. We eat here like 3 times a month. Ranch is insanely good. Salads never disappoint. Quality ingredients. Just a solid Italian pizza spot. read more

I needed to grab food really quickly, and was in the mood for a slice of pizza, so I popped in for one of the Biggaslices. I didn't pay attention to the details, so I was shocked to see the size of the pizza slice! It was huge! And also delicious. It was the perfect size for me. read more

It's been a while since my wife and I last stopped in. We were looking forward to a delicious pizza and Caesar salad and we were not let down! The Caesar salad was large and undressed and our Godfather carnivore pizza was out of this world! We ordered a thin crust and it came out hot, delicious, with a crispy crust! Both were even deliver to our table on the patio! Thank you! Looking forward to visiting again soon! read more

The architecture of the restaurant is beautiful and stunning, but that doesn't make up for the fact that the pizza itself takes you all the way back to an elementary school cafeteria it tastes like pizza that comes frozen and packaged until whenever you need to heat and serve in 10 to 15 minutes We all knew how gross elementary School pizza was don't we? Don't make the mistake of coming here read more

Great food, great service, nice ambiance, at a decent price and right near the beach! Basic spaghetti and meatballs done right, haven't tried the pizza yet. read more

Great pizza Horrible customer service, called to place an order over the phone (they seriously need someone with more patience and knows how to communicate) Was just trying to get info on sizes and prices, (some places have more slices for bigger sizes, when I asked him about that, he almost answered like it was a stupid question) Once I started placing the order I accidentally gave him the wrong zip code, He got frustrated and hung up? Wow Seriously need to get someone else on that phone. read more

My dad follows that barstool sports guy so we decided to order Gina's for the first time on fight night. Ordered the house special pizza xl for delivery (3.4 miles away). They told us it would be about a 45 min wait, it was delivered hot and right on time. Unfortunately the quality didn't match the prompt timing. I hate to use the word awful but it definitely was not great. Seemed undercooked and flavor just was not there. Wish we would have just ordered round table. We also ordered 2 of their sugar cookies because they said it was the only desert they ordered in house, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it might have been the worst cookie we've ever ordered. Glad we tried something new but I wont be ordering from them again. read more
