Great pizza and service! The staff was so friendly and nice. Pizza was very tasty and nice.

If you're looking for authentic New York-style pizza in Orange County, Mr. Moto's Pizzeria in Irvine is definitely worth a visit. They have an incredible variety of specialty slices, so it's the perfect spot if everyone in your group wants to try something different. We ordered a mix of their signature slices, including The Hulk, Extra Virgin, California Love, Lobster Bisque, Piece of Art, Shroomster, and Mamma Moto. Each slice had its own unique flavor, and the crust was exactly what you'd want from NY-style pizza (thin, crispy on the bottom, yet still soft and chewy). We also tried the Caesar Salad, which was fresh and a great lighter option to pair with the pizza. The real surprise, though, was the stuffed knots. We ordered the Spinach, Ricotta & Mozzarella and the Pepperoni, Jalapeño & Mozzarella versions, and both were warm, cheesy, and packed with flavor. They're a must-order if you're visiting for the first time. I'll definitely be back to try even more of the menu! read more

Absolutely delicious New York style pizza. The flavors are fresh, high quality and lots of layers of flavors on each pizza. My favorite was the extra virgin which is basically a margherita pizza. It was so good! Prices are typical. They have seats right outside. Service was not super friendly but it was quick and thorough. read more

I've had Mr Moto in San Diego and fell in love with the variety of flavors and quality of pizza so I'm glad they opened one in Irvine!!! We ordered so many flavors: The Hulk, California Love, The Shroomster, Extra Virgin, and Piece of Art. We also ordered a calzone, 12 wings, and garlic knots! Highlyyyy recommend the Shroomster as that was my fave. The wings were also delicious and flavorful. I love how they make their pizzas crispy and am always down for a New York slice. There's no seating indoors, but there's plenty of seating outside which was perfect because we brought our dog. Service was helpful and we will be back! read more

First time trying Mr moto and I was pleasantly surprised! Theres a great selection of different pizzas. The crust is thin and crispy and the slices are massive. Piece of art is my favorite by far. And the stuffed knots were definitely stuffed! read more

Tried out Mr Moto Pizza to go along with some Spooky flicks and it was a solid pairing! The pies have very robust flavor combinations they are definitely generous with their unique toppings. Bit on the floppy side but the sauce and toppings make up for it, solid pie overall : Mr Moto - Italian sausage, Spanish chorizo, burrata cheese, Chunky tomato dots with homemade garlic paste base. Piece of Art - Pepperoni, Basil, Burrata, Parmesan, Reggianito and Spicy honey. read more

Amazing pizzas! I'm still blown away that you can actually create a custom box - not just a build your own - but select 8 flavors of pizza. Who said you can't have it all?! My favorites were the furious Diablo, California love, Lobsta 4 (flavor of the month for June and July), and piece of art! I came back the same week to grab a whole furious Diablo for our 4th of July lunch, it was so good. I like how they don't over flavor it, it's perfect. There's no indoor seating at this location, but there's plenty of seating area outside! read more

No indoor seating, staff was great, service was so quick (since we got slices, pasta took 10 minute tops). Appreciated all the sauces! + Mr Moto Special ($38 for 8 mix and match slices): perfect for a group. All slices were thin crusted and crispy. The margherita pizza was perfectly tomato-sweet (7.7/10). Mr moto was very savory, but liked how meaty it was (7/10) + Caesar salad add chicken: chicken was very salty but appreciate a decent sized salad to balance the pizzas (5/10) + Garlic knot: would pass, quite dense and could be fluffier even when fresh (5/10) + Stuffed Garlic knot: get the spinach cheese filled one! Amazing herby, cheesy flavor (8/10) read more

Tried Mr. Moto Pizza and it definitely hits when you're craving something quick, filling, and flavorful. The slices are big and have that classic crispy-on-the-bottom, soft-on-the-inside texture. I went with a couple different slices and they were all solid--good amount of cheese, sauce wasn't too heavy, and everything tasted fresh. It's not trying to be super fancy, just really good pizza done right. What stood out is how consistent it is. You know exactly what you're getting and it delivers every time. Perfect for a quick bite, late night food, or just something reliable. Service was fast and easy, and the vibe is super casual--nothing crazy, just grab your slice and go. Overall, solid go-to pizza spot. Nothing overcomplicated, just good pizza that satisfies. read more

Stopped by for lunch since it was near by my office. A quick pick up for my to go order. Lunch special was available to get two slices and a drink. There is no seating inside because of the outside seating available for common use. The decor was warm with the sliced pizzas displayed for selection. I got the piece of art as part of all the hot honey craze. The pizza was sweet but didn't have enough spiciness. Solid place to pick up pizza for lunch. read more

I was on a work trip and found this place driving from the airport. I had tried Mr moto pizza in Orange and it was phenomenal. When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by staff. Staff were friendly and very helpful. I ordered the Mr moto pizza slice and the garlic knot. The pizza was delicious and the garlic knot was phenomenal too. Ambiance is customer friendly. This is a great place to have a delicious pizza slice and other great items on the menu. read more

Super stoked that this pizza joint came to OC! Going to San Diego, Mr. Moto's was always a stop for me. The New York style pizza is the perfect blend of crispy and doughy. My two personal favorites are the piece of art and the Rocky Mountains. What are they? I honestly have no clue, but trust me, try it! The piece of art is basically a pepperoni pizza with basil, parm, and hot honey. So good! Don't forget the garlic knots! It honestly seems boring, but once you try it, you'll be hooked. I recommend it with ranch, but they have it with marinara too. Service-wise, the staff was professional. Patient with me trying to decide what pizza to get and hooked it up with the ranch! The place alone has counters inside to eat, and also has plenty of outdoor seating. Not really much for indoor seating, but plenty of outdoor with shade. It is missing the grittiness that the SD locations have but that'll come over time. Check it out for a quick slice! You'll love it. read more

Saw this new pizza joint over by JWA, so we had to give it a try of course. Ordered 3 pizza's: Mr Moto, Mission BLVD and Hulk. My favorite was the Mission BLVD even though it was all veggies. The crust was a bit soggy on it, I think if you got it well done, it should be better. The Mr Moto and Hulk were both a tad on the salty side. I wasn't a fan of the ricotta they add once the pie is taken out of the oven. Pricing on them is on the high end, about the same as SGT Pepperoni for reference. It's located in the same plaza as Paderia Bakehouse/Starbucks/ Clucks. Can get busy in that plaza during peak times and I would imagine parking can be bad. There is also parking in the back area, by Starbucks. Overall, it's decent pizza. I would give it s 3.5/5 and would come back. read more

We got the California love & mr hulk, both were good but I enjoyed the California love more! It's great value for quality! $5 a slice & they have deals like $13 for 2 slices with a drink Need to come back to try the garlic rolls. I wish they had more unique options but it's still a great spot read more

No indoor seating. This place is basically a storefront with plenty of outdoor shared seating from neighboring businesses. Service is okay. Front staff taking order wasn't very friendly, but wasn't rude either. Ordered 4 slices of pizza and some knots. Was asked to look over my order on the screen to confirm. I did.... Waited about 10 minutes for my order to be heated up and when I sat down, I noticed my order was incorrect. Also, when they handed me the pizza box, I wasn't offered any utensils or paper plates. I wasn't even advised to where I can grab them. Again, I think the staff can work on improving their customer service just a tad bit. I understand that many patrons are repeat customers, but I was not. I also understand that being a small store, I could probably figure out where everything is. However, the friendliness factor was lacking. Pizza was good. Slices are thin, but toppings are generous. read more

Starting at $5 for a slice, it's pretty good! The pizza crust is more fluffy with a crisp, a little less "condensed" than Terra Mia.. Marinara isn't as good as Sgt pepperoni. Wings tasted better than the pizza. $12/20 and they were meaty! Took 15 min to make them. Even with sauce on the side, they're still flavorful without. chicken bacon ranch pizza 4/5 It was definitely indulgent with the white sauce, and flavorful from the bacon. Meatball ricotta pizza 3/5 decent and not dry, but the red sauce is nothing to write home about. I didn't like how their ricotta is more whipped and smooth, I prefer mine gritty, feels more cheesy! Garlic knot 2/5 Too doughy and not recommended. Don't waste your cals! In the cheaper pizza world, I would choose Terra Mia, but for convenience this isn't bad at all. Service is friendly and parking is easy! read more

This place is absolutely amazing I can't get enough! This is my second time back since they've opened and have tried a few different items now. This time I got the California love pizza with buffalo wings. The California love was absolutely incredible I love how big the large is and how nicely done the crust is. It's full of flavor and every bite has something to offer. The buffalo wings are great as well with a nice crisp to the wing. The wings do not come pre tossed in the sauce ( I assume that's to keep them crispy) but I used the buffalo as a dip and it was phenomenal! I do have a couple of notes I just wish the wings themselves were a bit more seasoned if they are going to be left undressed with the sauce but other than that great! Service was nice and quick I showed up when the app said I should and my order was ready for pick up! The place is located near a bunch of other food options that share the outdoor seating area. It's a nice quiet place and a hot spot for the lunch hour. read more

I can probably say this is the best New York Pizza in Orange County right now. Been wanting to try them for a few weeks . I love the piece of art pie. But California Love was a little too garlicky for my taste. Ordered half and half large pie and it took about 20 minutes. Tasted great and quality of ingredients was high. Make sure to get your pizza well done if you like it crispy. Only issue was with ordering, the person taking the order could not understand what I meant by half-and-half, super strange. We eventually made it work out when somebody else came to her rescue. The other guy was super nice and knowledgeable. I think he was the main Pizza maker or the dough stretcher. Overall great pizza and will come back again and again. Just want them to keep making pizza with the same quality in a few months. read more

I'm a sucker for New York-style pizza, and I grabbed a classic cheese slice to try while I was in the plaza picking up another order. I'd rate it somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. I like that the pizza isn't super greasy and the ingredients seem fresh. The slice was light, and the crust had a nice light crisp (not floppy), but I felt like it was lacking flavor, maybe it needed a bit more salt?! The crust tasted a little bland to me. Overall, not a bad slice, and I do want to come back to try other slices or a whole pie. I'll update the review then. It's located in a plaza, so parking was easy. It was busy during the lunch hour, and there's plenty of outdoor seating. Service was fast. There's no indoor seating, but there is a small stand-up counter where you can eat your slices. read more

i love the concept of the moto special, allowing you to choose all different slices so you can experience nearly each flavor option at once. i especially loved the extra virgin. the slices are incredibly thin which i LOVED. extra crispy on the crust while still being fluffy. their marinara is one of my favorites i've had. mildly sweet and great consistency. the slices are HUGE too which is more worth for the cost. the garlic knots are thick and garlicky but not overly. would love this for a quick pizza craving anytime. parking is easy and lots of seating. service is great as well. read more

Super yummy pizza! I tried the Mr. Moto and The Hulk. The slices were pretty big. They had had crispy thin crust that was also soft. The garlic knots were hot and delicious! The marinara dipping sauce was warm and fresh. Came by on a late Saturday afternoon and there was no wait. Just a couple of minutes to receive my order. The staff were very nice and welcoming. The interior was decorated for Halloween. There was plenty of outdoor seating available, but no indoor seating. Can't wait to come back again! read more

My favorite pizza by the slice shop in OC!! It's healthy in the world of pizzas, affordable, and delicious with lots of variety. The whole vibe and personality behind the brand is also really fun and uplifting. I like to grab a slice here once a week and it's exactly what I'm looking for as an eatery that I can fully appreciate while on a budget. The staff are really nice and great people with awesome service, and it's really clean and inviting inside as well. Excited for the other Irvine location to open soon as well. read more

I've been in a pizza type of mood lately, specifically thin-crust NY style pizzas, and even more specific, a margherita style pizza. Mr Moto doesn't have an exact marg pizza, but they do have the extra virgin pizza and without the pesto oil, it's pretty similar! My friends and I ordered a few pizzas to try something new a few days ago. We got the extra virgin, California love, and rocky mountain. The three pizzas plus two stuffed knots, and some ranch/marinara came out to about $100, which was about $25 per person. For the size of the pizzas, it was pretty worth it! The extra virgin ended up being just okay, same for the California love (which is chicken, ranch caramelized onion). Our favorite was the rocky mountain which had ricotta, sauce, and red sauce! Surprisingly, their sausage wasn't super salty, which is probably why we liked it. I liked that they have an online ordering option, which was about 45 minutes, and it was ready when we got there. read more

I would give this place a zero if I was allowed. First off I order my pizza they tell me 20 minutes ok great. Then 20 minutes turns into 40 minutes. I ask how much longer they tell me he's just making the pizza now and want me to wait another 20-30 minutes. I tell them forget it and give me the slices they already have made and won't even give me the full 8 slices or any type of refund or anything for my inconvenience. Then the lady working the counter had the audacity to give me an attitude. I wish I got her name so I could complain to her boss. I couldn't even eat my lunch because my lunch time was up for work. If you're in any type of rush or anything DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Delicious new pizza option around Irvine. We ordered the Mama Moto on DoorDash and the pizza still came fresh and yummy! Next time, I would order just a plain pepperoni though since the Mama Moto ended up coming super liquidy since the burrata cheese melted into a sauce, which I wasn't too much of a fan of but should be expected when ordering delivery. read more

Mr Moto Pizza - Mama Moto pizza - Pizza Near Me - Irvine, California

+ Yummy variety of pizza options. . A lil expensive. Each slice is $5. The slice is large though. - A full pizza or an order of wings would take them 15-20mins to make. I'm sure it's fresh, but unfortunately inconvenient for me. This shop is located in a business area, so you're likely stopping by during your lunch break. Don't have 20mins to spare. - If you're ordering for dine-in, they'll bring your food out one slice per plate. So if you're ordering 3+ slices, your hands will be full as you carefully carry the dishes out to find an outdoor table. Wish they provided a tray to comfortably hold everything. - No interior seating. + Polite, helpful staff. + Ample but often crowded parking. Easier to find a spot in the rear larger lot. + Conveniently located by the 405. . My meal was $25-30. read more

Went back to the Irvine location to try something different. Ordered a pizza (half Mission Blvd, half Furious Diablo). They made the pizza fresh on the spot. The pizza was made like a piece of artwork (see picture). Normally I prefer a pizza with more meat but I was confident this was going to be good. It didn't disappoint. Toppings were fresh and plentiful...plenty of cheese. The crust was thin with just enough firmness to eat the slice with one hand. Mr. Moto is still holding up for one of the best thin crust pizzas around. read more

They don't accept cash. Was looking forward to trying but can't support a cashless business.

Had an Uber order to be in our office by 12:30pm and called at 1:00pm and they said they're still building it and it will take another 20 mins to release to the Uber driver! Unnacceptable. The order was placed way early and they said they've been working on the order since open. Not even an apology. If you can't make it, don't allow people to order it! Sucks to have a company waiting around for an hour past the delivery time to eat. Consistent service along with other reviewers - management needs to step in and improve processes with this along with the "nasty staff" comments. read more

Really great slice of pizza, one of the best I've had in the area! It's crispy, thin, with a nice crunch on the bottom with a little chew at the edge, the sauce tastes fresh and tangy, and the cheese melts just right without being greasy. I enjoyed the "Piece of Art" and "Mr.Moto" in particular. Unfortunately, I have to bring down the review one star for now based on my experience with the pasta. I had the Alfredo pasta with mozzarella and it was really bland to the point where I wasn't sure if there was any Alfredo in it. Admittedly, there was a nice crust on some of the pasta. I asked the team if they could help me out, and they offered to add some Alfredo...except they pulled cold Alfredo from the fridge and poured it over the pasta. Good intentions, but left me with semi-cold pasta. I might just be uneducated on good pasta, but felt like it could have gone better! read more

Tastes like regular pizza just with higher quality ingredients and a nice, quality soft crust. Sauce is regular, toppings are regular. Soft crust not at all crispy. Sausage bits taste like any other sausage bits. If you like average ever day much the same pizza, you'll like this cuz it's that just a upper tier version. But I have to give it 3 stars because they're expensive. Not worth. If the price was right I'd say a 4 for a local recommend. read more

Omg.. the pizza and garlic knots were so good! I wish it were closer to me, I'm at the other end of Irvine. The price is reasonable and worth it. The staff were friendly and very nice. You do have to sit outside but it was a nice sunny day so it was lovely. read more
