Piadina is located in Tustin Marketplace off of El Camino and East near some of the other small food shops. It's an area I typically avoid mostly because the parking lot always seems busy and filled with lots of cars. But, if you want to try something new, sometimes sacrifices must be made. Walking into the restaurant, you find a long counter with the staff making up sandwiches and salads. Once at the counter, there is a large overhead menu with a good selection of salads and sandwiches. I ordered up their most popular sandwich, the California. While waiting for my order, I noticed one of the workers taking dough and putting into a flatbread machine. The machine created a perfect round thin sandwich dough about the size of a large flour tortilla. Then she placed it on the grill and cooked it until it had a nice brown toasty color. I just knew the bread would be delicious. I picked up my order after hearing my name called. At first glance, I was a bit disappointed at the size of my order, found wrapped in a paper envelope. However, after I got back to the table and sat down, I took out the double stacked sandwich and found it was actually decent sized. The thin sandwich had lots of arugula lettuce, and mozzarella cheese. The sandwich was a delight to bite into with its thin crunchy bread shell, reminiscent of a flaky quesadilla. The only downside is the sandwich left me wanting more chicken and avocado. Overall Piadina was a great clean place to grab a quick meal and a slightly different kind od sandwich. read more

Like other reviews, the ingredients are fresh and high quality, but they just don't give you a lot of it. Kinda pricey for what you get, I think which wich next door might be a better deal, but this is a different sandwich. read more

Fresh, fast, good portion, and really good. My sister and I just randomly picked this place because we were shopping near by. We were both so happy we did too. She got the veggie and had the Parma. So yummy we plan to come back and next time we're bring the family with us! read more

Amazing sandwiches but I feel like they can go a little heavier on the protein. Other then that they have great options

Hella fucking good sandwiches wow they're actually surprisingly really different from your typical sandwiches. I don't expect much from sandwiches, but boy did these stand out, I really like the warmth and softness of the bread here idk what it is, I think it's a pita bread? Maybe. Idk but wow it's some of the best pita bread I've ever had anywhere. Usually if I ever get pita bread it's typically chewy and hard and a little bit tough. But here the pita bread is so perfect. It's soft and easy to bite off and has a good consistency to it. The inside of each sandwich is customizable so that's good too. Like Subway or some shit. And yeah it was all really good to me. Tastes amazing. A little on the expensive side for a sandwich though I gotta admit. It's like 9 bucks or some shit? Damn that's like the price of a Pieology Pizza. read more

Crispy flatbred and well-balanced fresh ingredients. Reggio sandwich was very interesting and delicious. Not too spicy. Will comeback to try other items. read more

Boy am I glad this app called yelp was invented!! I would have never found this place without it. Driving down the freeway I started to get hungry for a sandwich. Typed in sandwich that was closest to my location. This was one place that popped up and thank god it did. Seriously I have never had a sandwich like this before. The outside flatbreadish is so damn good. Just made it perfect in terms of crunch and flavor. I ordered the #8 and was blown away. It was so good I came back a few days later and I don't even live in OC!! read more

Piadina - Italian Near Me - Tustin, California

Been here multiple times on my lunch break. By far my favorite is the Vegetariana because I love eggplant and you can add avocado for a small upcharge which makes it really filling and satisfying. One of my coworkers comes here as well on his lunch break sometimes and he and I agree the Vegetariana is better than the meat options because when I've gotten meat options some of the meat was warm and some was cold even though I ordered at the counter and sat outside to eat it immediately so it didn't have time to cool off. We both found the mixed temperature meats offputting but don't mind if our vegetables are mixed temperature. The employees are kind and the orders only take about ten minutes during non peak times so if you work nearby and mobile order it is usually ready when you arrive in my experience. On warm days the cold pellegrino is a nice compliment and I love the blood orange pellegrino flavor because it is light and refreshing. Overall not the most amazing food but relatively healthy compared to nearby options which is what garners piadina 4 stars instead of 3. Keep up the friendly service :) read more

Get the California. You won't regret it! I recommend this place to so many people and every time they are in the area they pick it up. It's very fresh tasting and a unique style of flat bread. read more

Service was great. Craft Soda fountain drink selection was cool. Food was bland and underwhelming. Won't return.

Came here today for lunch. I got the California sandwich, which the gentleman who took my order told me was the most popular. It did not disappoint at all and I highly recommend. It was very tasty, and the pesto made provided the right flavor balance. It turns out they make all their bread, which I believe is a Italian flatbread style, from scratch, daily. Wouldn't hesitate to come here again. I believe there is another one in the middle of Irvine as well. read more

I came here the weekend before Christmas around 430-5pm and it was empty. I came with friends to this spot in the marketplace as there are many different dinning places here, so something for everyone. Parking was a breeze, I'm sure the marketplace was super busy during the day but at this time on the Sunday before Christmas Eve, it was empty. One other friend and I chose to eat here, and I'm glad I ddI! I ordered the California-#8. It was chicken, tomato, pesto, mozzarella and magic. These Piadinas remind me of Italian quesadillas. The bread is folded over like a flat bread and crisped up. It was super delicious. There is ample seating at this place for a quick serve, and much more outside to handle the lunch rush I'm assuming. Overall, this place was pretty darn good and I would definitely come back for a quick bite. read more

Always love their sandwiches as they are made to order with fresh and high quality ingredients. It's crispy outside and the ingredients inside are delicious. Tried the gourmet sandwich, Napoli and the seasonal item, Carolina (pulled pork with BBQ sauce and creamy coleslaw) Both of them are so good. Will definitely tried other items soon read more

First time here! We had a coupon for a buy 1 get 1 and it was expiring so we decided to give it a try. We were pleasently surprised with how good it was! We ordered 2 sandwiches: The Roma and The Italiano. They both came with Mozzarella cheese but we asked to substitute their other type of cheese on the Roma. Honestly both cheese tasted pretty similar. But they were both good. The sandwiches came out fast and were warm and fresh! I don't know what type of bread they use but it's amazing! Reminded me of a really good thin crust pizza but baked just right so the outside was a light crispy and the inside was fluffy! My husband liked the veggie more but I preferred the Roma. I liked the thinly sliced meat and veggie combination. But they were both good. If you prefer more of a 'greener' tasting sandwich, I recommend the veggie. Will definitely be back! Coupon or no coupon this place is definitely worth the price! And it's very unique, no other sandwich place comes close! read more

Let me just start with WOW! I just tried Piadina for the first time and it exceeded my expectations. I was looking on Yelp for lunch ideas and came across this gem. So glad I gave it a try. It was delicious I had the Reggio sandwich which had Prosciutto, parmigiano-riggiano, mozzarella, mushrooms, arugula, tomatoes, tartar and Tabasco sauce which gave it a nice little kick. Definitely a must try! They have many different menu items to choose from from salads to sandwiches and piadizza's. Can't wait to go back! read more

_______________________ \ / / -:: OVERALL RATING ::- \ \ / / 4.0/5 :: Venue/Décor \ \ 4.0/5 :: Service / / 4.0/5 :: Ambiance \ \ 4.0/5 :: Menu/Variety / /_______________________\ -:::- VENUE / DECOR -:::- Located in TMP, Piadina is a great addition to this plaza! During peak times parking lot gets crowded, but there is always parking all around the plaza. The establishment is a corner store & located at the end of the building by Mizu Sushi Bar & Grill. Stepping into Piadina you'll notice that it is an open kitchen area where you can see your sammies being made to order. Menu board is visibly seen inside the venue or you can grab their menus from their counter. There are 2 cash registers to place your orders. Chips are available at extra cost. Dining space isn't huge but just enough otherwise there are outdoor seating too. Piadina is not a full service restaurant but rather a self seating & self beverage establishment. Decor is minimal but it does the job for a fast service sandwich shop. -:::- SERVICE -:::- I haven't had a bad service here. The staff I've encountered have been pleasant and most of them provided a welcoming feel. You gotta be a bit patient cuz all sammies are made fresh to order. If you can't spare the time then call ahead for your order. I've always ordered mine to-go & generally it takes anywhere from 10-15 min. -:::- MENU VARIETY -:::- I love Piadina's sammies especially how the dough is cooked fresh on the griddle! Every bite you sink your mouth into -- the rustic Italian flatbread sammie is nicely toasted, deliciously soft & crunchy. IMO - Very simple, fresh & satisfying. It is NOT oily, fatty, nor greasy tasting. It is NOT smothered with sauces nor packed with a punch full of spices. Piadina is a healthier option than the other sandwich shops around & surprisingly filling too! If you take it to-go they place it in a 1/2 size pizza like flat box, keeping the crispiness within. I've tried the following so far: Roma [5.0/5] California [5.0/5] Francese [5.0/5] Genova [4.5/5] Definitely looking forward to trying out their other Italian sammies, salads & soup! I hope & wish they would expand upon their breakfast menu items tho~ -:::- NOTES -:::- 1) Take advantage of their discount coupon from The Irvine Company Special Offers! 2) Off menu -- but they can make a pretty darn good Affogato! 3) Restrooms available for customers. read more

Piadina - 7/30/16 (sat): Delish & Thin Italian Flatbreads! #8 California & #10 Francese - Italian Near Me - Tustin, California

At the time, I wasn't thrilled to be dragged in for a healthy, pizza type sandwich, but once I took a bite of the piadina...wow! My fiancé and I shared the Francese piadina then used the Yelp check-in to get a small size salad. The amount of food we received was perfect for us, and both the piadina and salad were tasty! Hoping to visit again soon the next time I'm in Tustin. read more

Pretty mediocre overall. The warm wrap is nice but I find it lacking in flavor, and not a big enough portion.

My family and I came here for lunch one weekend. Everybody really loved their food. Some however get a little too salty because of the meat, but ehh it's still good! We will be coming back! Also pro tip: use the yelp check in!!! It's either a side soup or salad. That day, the soup was minestrone. We all liked the minestrone better and it comes with a side of the bread. It just hit all the right places. So glad it opened here at the marketplace! Only downside is that it didn't really fill us up for ~$10 each. No we didn't eat the whole thing in one sitting. They cut it in half; so we all ate half of it for the most part. Found ourselves going home, eating the other half and still wanting more. Maybe it was just that good!!! read more

Love Piadina ... good bang for your buck and you definitely get full! For the ones that I've tried I would rank them ... 1. Calabria ... I like spicy 2. California 3. Parma Think my goal is to try one of each of the 12 sandwiches :) read more

Ordered for the first time today through doordash! It was soooo tasty based on the picture I thought it might be too small but the portion size was perfect. Will definitely be ordering again sooon! read more

I always came here with a coupon so in my opinion its worth it with a coupon. The quality of the ingredients are fresh and their pesto is soo good. The bread or whatever it is called is always tasty. I ordered the sandwich with pesto, arugula, and prosciutto and its always on point. I don't feel like a slug afterwards which i usually do after a sandwich. Their sodas are yummy (natural cane) and its always clean so that's a plus. I would return with a coupon haha read more

The food and service were excellent! I met a coworker for lunch around 11am and it wasn't too crowded and had the freshest sandwiches and amazing drinks! Highly recommend grabbing a bite there! read more

Food was a 2, service was a 1. $15 dollar sandwich that has very little flavor and is nothing special. The service was crazy slow. They prioritize online orders. There was myself and one other person in the place. We waited 25 min for the guy to make our sandwich. He literally did 22 online orders first. read more

Stumbled upon this place when looking for lunch today. This place ended up being a great find! Ordered the Austin flat bread sandwich. It was really good! The flat bread was amazingly delicious and the taste of the brisket with avocado blended well. I will definitely be visiting really soon! read more

Scrumptious Italian flatbread sandwiches made with fresh ingredients that don't put you in a food coma after! The flatbread is really what makes the sandwich special. It's wonderfully light and crispy without being oily. Textural complexity, people! My favorite is the California which comes with chicken, mozzarella, arugula, tomatoes, avocado, and basil pesto. I like it with extra pesto. Very California and very delicious! read more

Delicious!! They make the bread fresh right in front of you. It's crispy but light and so addicting! I could eat this every day....

First time visiting this restaurant and I give it two thumbs up!! I wasn't expecting it to be so yummy because of the negative reviews from some people. Come try and prove them wrong like I did! I ordered the #11 and added prosciutto. I love this grilled flat bread kind of reminds me of a toasted tortilla! You have to give this place a try! read more

Usually love the food here, however my last order the fierenzi was super salty. Also the guy making the sandwiches was put very little arugula. Going down hill! read more

Ok. I'm going to say that after coming here two times, I won't be coming again, but that's not because this place is bad. I like the food here and I like how clean and bright the dining area is. The location is great and there's abundant outdoor seating. I wish I could say I'd come back again and again, but both times I've come, I've had "issues" almost immediately after. I have suspicions that it's due to the excessive amount of oil they drizzle into the sandwiches, but even then, I shouldn't be having such problems within 1 hour of eating here. Also, be aware that the sandwiches are not heavy and they might even be "bland" to people who are used to more sauced/fried/salted food. I like light and simple so the chicken and turkey and fresh bread/wrap were all refreshing. The bread they use is thin and crisp. If I were to try to describe it, I'd say it has the lightness and crisp/flaky nature of a croissant but the integrity of a thick (think German) style pancake or crepe. It's not, as others have put it, like a freaking quesadilla. The meats are clean and not salty. The vegetables are fresh and bright. The pesto is also light in flavor but a bit oily. Service has been....decent. The cashiers have been friendly during my limited two visits but the people who call our your order when it's ready are less than personable. No, I don't need you to treat me like a friend but at least try to treat me like a human being. Anywho, yeah. Great place and I wish I didn't have such a bad reaction to the food, but so many people like this place so I'm giving 4 stars because my main issue with the food is clearly an isolated event. Thanks, Piadina. I hope you continue to do well. read more

Cute little place for a quick bite. This is not your typical sandwich shop because the "bread" is replaced with a flatbread-like skin. I enjoy this place because everything tastes and looks very fresh. Traditional Italian cuisine really cherishes the original flavors of the ingredients, and I find that Piadina does just that. Some may find it a little on the bland side, but it makes you appreciate how natural and fresh your food is. I enjoyed everything I've tried there so far, but the Genova stood out to me the most. Their basil pesto brings it all together, and the turkey was very good. Highly recommended! The service there was great too. The staff was friendly, and they noticed I was going to split a piadina even though we did not tell them. They wrapped the halves up separately before giving it to us. read more

This isn't like your typical sandwich joint where you get a boring sandwich that's mostly bread. This is a true Italian sandwich. The ingredients are fresh and tasty. I ordered the #1 Parma which has Prosciutto, Mozzarella, mushrooms, Arugula, and tomatoes. It's served on a Piadina bread. I also got chips and iced tea. You can see the quality ingredients in the picture. Eating this made me feel like I was at a sidewalk cafe in Italy if not for the Habanero potato chips lol. This is a place I would definitely patronize again. read more
