    Creamy Garlic Veggie and Pesto Supreme
    Arnold T.

    Stopped by after a sporting event and the ambience was as good as the company. We got a 1/2 1/2 pizza with creamy garlic and pesto supreme. Pretty good but standard, no wow factor, but still enjoyable. There's a small arcade area for kids to enjoy and the interior is fairly spacious. This seems to be the place to go for all the locals after sports and it can get pretty busy. Service was friendly but it does take a while to get your food. Located in the Ralphs plaza at the corner of Walnut and Culver, in Irvine. There's quite a bit of shops around but parking seems to not be a problem.

    As someone who grew up on Lamppost Pizza in NorCal I was excited to learn about the numerous locations in OC. This one is located in a strip mall in Irvine. I didn't expect it to be so crowded but it was pretty packed for a Thursday night, I was glad we were able to find a comfortable spot on the patio. They have an extensive menu with lots of varieties of pizza as well as sandwiches and salads. I like that you can get a personal size pizza here too, it makes ordering with a group easy--everyone can get what they want! I opted for my old favorite from my childhood--the cinnamon pizza. Dessert pizza is so elite. It was so crispy, sweet, and delicious. Staff was friendly, too. Will be back another time for the many varieties of pizza.

    Beers

    When we arrived, the restaurant was fairly empty, but Back Street Brewery had a few patrons enjoying drinks at the bar. We were able to order beer right away, and the server was kind enough to offer me a taste before I committed! One thing I wish was clearer: the menu didn't list prices for the beers, so I had no idea how much each one cost until I saw the total bill. It would be great to have that transparency upfront. That said, I appreciated the selection--they had a mix of BSB's own brews along with offerings from other breweries, which made for a well-rounded variety. The dog-friendly patio is great, especially for enjoying that beautiful OC weather. As for food, we decided to try the Pesto Supreme pizza, and it did not disappoint! The crust was perfectly crispy, and the cheese pulls were seriously impressive. Overall, I'm happy to have another solid brewery option in Irvine and look forward to coming back!

    The pizza served here is a different kind of delicious. It's fresh and great in quality. I've tried to make pizza dough from scratch and my pizzas don't turn out as good as lamppost. Something about their dough completes the pizza. The 8 inch individual pizza for $8.99 is very filling. My boyfriend usually comes here on his lunches and they have great deals during lunch. Only thing is lunch slices offer two options: pepperoni or cheese. Lamppost has a wonderful social aspect good for adults as they have their own bar area. It's great for kids too and is a family oriented restaurant.

    Located in the busy and popular Heritage Plaza shopping center. It was my first and only visit. On a Thursday, it was packed. Full of families and large parties. Very loud. They seemed to be very short staffed. Therefore, both the outdoor and indoor dining areas were a mess. Think the cartoon Tasmanian devil. Everything was all over the place and chairs were blocking walk areas. We had the pizza bread and Cobb salad. They were average in taste. The pizza bread was miniature. An okay choice for families with small kids.

    Lampost claims these listed hours are false
    Shelly M.

    My friend and I decided to come here after checking the times they are open on Google (see photo). It's advertised they are open till 10, so we figured last call would be around 9:30. We came in at 9:10 and the bar area was pretty full of people, and they had a few large parties at the tables in the dining area still, so we really didn't expect to be sent away. The kid working said we could only order for take out, claiming they actually close at 9:30, despite their Google listed hours. Even if this is correct, there is no way they were going to have all the bar people and large table parties gone by then anyway. They could have easily made our cheese bread and salad and had us out before the large parties anyway. The teenagers working here clearly don't care about customer experience or the business making money. They just want to get off work as quickly as possible. We went to The Habit, in the same center, who was more than happy to have our bussiness instead of pushing us out.

    This is a nice pizza spot for hanging out with friends and family. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately the pizza wasn't anything special, it tasted like Costco pizza to me (for double the price). I prefer a more tangy pizza sauce, and this sauce wasn't tangy at all. But I loved the potato wedges!!! Because of the price, I probably wouldn't come back, but I am happy I tried it. :)

Chewy was our pleasant waiter, very friendly and attentive. Fresh cold water when we sat down and a nice short easy menu to peruse and decide from. No frills, no uneasy decisions. Simple greatness is all that's needed. I'm guessing every table gets the Caesar salad, which was a botttomless pile of fresh lettuce, tons of delicately grated smoothe Parmesan cheese, delicate crumbles of breadcrumbs, with an absolutely decadent Caesar dressing - pleasantly spread throughout the whole entire plate of goodness. Next time I will try the fresh loaf of bread sliced thick with a bowl of cherry tomatoes. Whoa that looked great. Every plate that walked by us whispered 'try me' next time!! Saved the salami Calabrese pizza for home directions on the box which provided the most perfect texture for a reheated pizza we've ever had. Delightful! The pizza. The crust. I can't even believe a whole table while we were eating there skipped the crust of the whole pie. You can't! That's a sin! Greatest sourdough pizza, dare I say delicate but hearty?

Their pizza offering have a selection of white and red sauce options. when served hot, crust was good and flavor is as expected. Their bread and butter is exceptional! If you are going to get anything here, make this a priority. Caesar salad is also a great choice. The staff was attentive to our needs since we sat outside when the sun was setting. Had to hold the menu up to block the glare until the round thing settled. But to truly highlight the pizza, it was a bit on the greasy side and taste didn't yield anything of exceptional in terms of flavor or texture. Regardless, do not let my review deter you from trying this establishment as preferences with food varies. I just happen to be exposed to various types and styles of pizza. Within that hierarchy, this is decent by that standard and good for OC. Come try and judge for yourself. It's a fun environment. :)

We were seated on the outdoor patio, which had the perfect ambience as the evening started to settle in. We started with the Fritto Misto, which was awesome. The calamari and shrimp had just the right amount of breading, and the arrabbiata sauce pairing was spot on. For dinner, the three of us decided to share a few dishes: the Branzino al Sale, Margherita pizza, and Spaghetti allo Scoglio. The Branzino al Sale had a great tableside flame presentation, and they deboned and filleted it for us, which was really impressive. We were super excited for it, but unfortunately it was way too salty for our taste. We mentioned it to our waiter, and he handled it really well by switching it out for the lamb chop special of the day. That ended up being the star of the night, honestly one of the best lamb chops we've had. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender and love the chimichurri sauce with it. The Margherita and Spaghetti allo Scoglio were both very good as well. To finish, we shared the Affogato, Panna Cotta, and Tiramisu, and all three desserts were amazing. Despite the issue with the branzino, the service was excellent, the patio ambience was great, and this is definitely a place we'd come back to.

    This might be one of the most authentic Italian restaurants I've been to in Orange County…read more The place has a refined, upscale atmosphere. Our server was, I believe, from Italy, which made the experience feel even more authentic. He was very friendly, and had that cheeky, no-nonsense charm that somehow made the service even more enjoyable. What I appreciated most about Oliver's Trattoria is their philosophy toward pasta. So many restaurants load pasta dishes up with proteins, vegetables, and a dozen other distractions. Here, the pasta is the star of the show. Everything is handmade, and the dishes are designed to let the pasta do the talking. Cacio e Pepe (9/10) - Phenomenal. It's surprisingly difficult to find a cacio e pepe around here, so I was glad to even see it on the menu. My only critique is that it was just a tad too salty and maybe had a little too much cheese, if such a thing is even possible. Truffle Beef Carpaccio (10/10) - Oh my days. This was the highlight of the meal. The truffle flavour came through beautifully and paired perfectly with the delicate slices of beef. Truffle Pasta (7/10) - The pasta itself was perfectly al dente. My only issue was that the truffle flavor felt a bit muted, especially considering the price point.. Side of Salmon (5/10) - A little dry and lacked the depth of flavor found in the rest of the meal.
