    P6. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken
    Timothy Spencer T.

    This place was a bit disappointing with its portion size. The taste of the pasta was good, but I just wish it was bigger for the price point. I was hoping the bread would be better too.

    10" pizza
    Lynnann W.

    Ordered via delivery, appreciated their accuracy. Perfectly adequate Italian food. Pizza toppings were scarce and definitely cooked on a conveyor belt. Not our favorite by far. The Mama Mia special was dry; definitely needed more sauce. The Greek salad was fine. Overall, okay but we would try elsewhere in the future.

    P4. Chicken Pesto Pasta
    Jhovany S.

    I can see why Italian Express has been a staple of the community for so long. Their food is great. We ordered the pesto chicken pasta for pick up, and when we got it home, the past was still piping hot. The portions were quite big and was enough to feed two of us and then some. With large chunks of chicken and a tasty pesto sauce, what's not to like. The workers are friendly and welcoming. Plenty of seating if you come and dine in, with a robust menu of different items like pasta, sandwiches, and pizzas. We will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu

    Decent pizza. Cheese was ok and the meatballs were slightly tasty. It's more like a glorified fast food pizza.

We got some garlic knots with marinara sauce. The garlic knots come out piping hot but so soft and delicious. The star, is of course, the pizza.

The recommendations made the experience even better because we got to try pizzas we probably wouldn't have chosen on our own.

I'll absolutely be coming back!

It's often hard for people to agree on whether one is good, bad, or great. I had several guests come over so I ordered large pepperoni pizza with green bell peppers and onions. We all agreed - It was great, lots of toppings and the right amount of cheese and sauce. Crust was perfect texture. It was ready when promised so I quickly drove it home to a hungry group. There are many pizza places much closer to me, but I had to try this one. I am taking a class at Orange Coast College and one to the cooler classmates (Simeon) told us how great their pizzas are at his location in South Irvine. But I went to the one at Jamboree and Irvine Blvd. It was great there, too. It's in a shopping center with lots of parking and a short walk to Ralph's to pick up some beer and sodas. Anyway, everyone enjoyed the pizza and will return when I am in the area again craving for great pizza. Pizza like this went great with some bottled craft beer. PS Sorry no pics, We ate it all before I could pull out my camera.

It was pretty loaded, I do wish they did white sauce on the Hawaiian pizza. They messed up our order, but they made extra medium size to make up for it. The pizza actually tasted better the next day when I reheated it and made the crust crispier. First day, it is a bit on the doughy side, but the next day it was better. Price is pretty hefty if we had just gotten the one pizza we actually ordered. It would've been $40 for a large custom pizza and a small caesar salad. You can tell the owner/older guy who works there definitely cares about his customers and the service he gives.

Any restaurant owner would love to have this location, possibly one of the best places to have a restaurant in Irvine. We arrive with reservations on a Saturday night with the place empty. Only three parties inside, most other out on the balcony. The service was so poor, we had to sit ourselves. Our waiter was grumpy, snarky, and asked if I wanted to take home our clam shells? We asked if we could have our clams with linguini pasta instead of spaghetti? NO, came his reply. The portions were small, they use store bought mushrooms for their resotto, instead of the more expensive ones. We had to get up a few times to ask for help, with our kind bus boy doing most of the work. It was so subpar for the price. I could give you a list of great Italian restaurants within a few miles of this place with great service and huge portions.

    This review is kinda late, but I was down here in SoCal with my crew last week for a week or so and…read morewe had tried the other Rance's pizza location and really liked it. We were in the Costa Mesa are before we were going to head out back north and my crew wanted to have this deep dish pizza again. What we liked was the crust was so good. It wasn't overly cornmealish like some of these "authentic" Chicago pizza places. I grew up out here in the west, so I'm used to a more flaky light crust. My first Deep Dish Chicago pizza was Zachary's in Berkeley in the Bay Area. This Costa Mesa location is located just south of the 405 at Harbor Blvd. Go to Baker Street and turn left and it's right there. Easy Parking. One thing you gotta know about the deep dish pizzas, they take longer to cook cause they're just so big and need more cooking time, like maybe 35-40 minutes, depending on how busy the kitchen is. We get a classic combo pizza and have some drinks while we wait. It arrives and oh boy does that look good. Dishing it out takes a little practice, but we're good at that now! Everybody loves the flavor and crust. This isn't the cheapest pizza round, but well worth the price and wait. You want cheap go to Straw Hat or something like that.

    This place is a must try!!!…read more Some of the best Chicago style pizza I've had was only in San Diego ... until we found Rance's! The restaurant itself is small and quaint. The decor was street style but simple. The staff was so welcoming and attentive. They answered our questions and regularly checked on my boyfriend and I. We tried the buffalo wings while we waited for the pizza. They were perfectly cooked and sauced. Paired with their own ranch, so delicious! We did the traditional 9" pan pizza with only pepperoni. (You just have to keep in mind, the pizzas take approximately 45 min.) The sauce to cheese to toppings ratio was perfect. The cheese pull was soooooo good! I normally don't like crust, and I ate mine here! Pizza so good, you don't need ranch! I tried an Ube beer. And surprisingly, it was so tasty and refreshing! I wish I could remember the brewery and beer name. This was the Costa Mesa location. They do have another one in Long Beach. Overall a great experience and delicious! We'll definitely be back!

    My friend highly recommended this pizza place, so I had to give it a try!…read more First of all, the thin crust was absolutely my personal favorite. I love a good thin crust, and the fresh ingredients really won me over. The price is also very reasonable. A large pizza is under $30, which I think is a great deal--honestly, I'd even say it's on the cheaper side these days. They don't have different pizza sizes. You can either order by the slice or get a whole pizza. One thing I really liked is that you can split a whole pizza in half and choose two different flavors. That's definitely a big plus, especially when you're ordering for a group. The pizza itself is surprisingly light and clean-tasting. Even though you're eating pizza, it doesn't feel heavy or greasy at all, and I didn't feel weighed down afterward. Now, one small downside: you have to pay for water, and even hot sauce or ranch costs extra. Since the pizza itself is reasonably priced, I'm not really complaining, but... if I have to pay extra for every little thing, I can't exactly say I'm thrilled about it. I did really enjoy their habanero hot sauce, though! It had a slightly unique flavor that I really liked. After eating with my friends, I seriously debated whether I should buy a whole pizza to take home for the kids. I loved how thin and light the pizza was, but for my personal taste, it was a little... ordinary. It wasn't quite a "WOW, I have to have this again!" kind of pizza for me. So I decided to pass this time and thought, "Maybe next time if I'm in the area." Would I come back? Yes! If I get the chance, I definitely would.
