Pizza box
Kaylee L.

I ordered thru Uber Eats. The pizza was nicely sliced but the box seemed a bit too big for the pizza. The slices had shifted apart upon receipt. I got the IYKYK PIZZA which is labeled as having bolognese, mozzarella, ricotta, and chili flakes. The pizza- Bolognese ratio was a bit of a letdown: Bolognese was fairly thinly spread with some slices barely having any; the slices had more basil leaves. Other than that the pizza was not bad. The dough was thin, chewy and tasted a bit like lasagne. The roasted cauliflower had a hint of mint it it which is an unusual combination. The chocolate chip cookie was a decent chunky size but very soft, almost like raw cookie dough. It didn't seem like it had been baked long enough. I stuck it in the oven for another 5 min or so it and it turned out a little better. The menu offers some interesting pizza options, although it seems to be a little on the pricy end. It was not the best pizza delivery experience but it was not bad either.

I would say this is more of a 3.5 for me now. I have been to both this and the Orange location a couple of times over the past few years. They have great pizzas and topping combinations. I love the honey bear one. I tried the Brussel sprouts for the first time and it was good. However, I was a bit disappointed in the amount of toppings. It seems to have reduced significantly from what I remember. One of the pizzas hardly could get 1-2 slices of pepperoni each. Same with the sausage. I know these are artisan pizzas and overloading toppings isn't the point. But I do expect a bit more for the price point. I still think they have great pizzas but the lack of toppings for price, and waiting close to an hour when calling in has me looking elsewhere unfortunately.

HONEY BEAR

In an area that has plenty of pizza spots this one was a pretty solid choice. I met up with some friends on a Monday for some lunch. Between the three of us we shared two pizzas and a salad. The pizzas were a good size and definitely shareable. I liked that they were thinner crust and they gave us some complementary pesto and ranch dressing to dip. For our pizzas we went with their popular Honey Bear pizza and the sausage pizza. The Honey Bear one was definitely on the sweeter side and had ricotta which I enjoyed. I recommend it if you like it sweet. The sausage one was my more preferred one. It didn't have a whole bunch of meat but it was good. Both didn't taste that heavy. For the salad we got the Little Gem Cesar salad which was full of flavor. It was enjoyable. You order and pay first at bar and they bring the food to you. They didn't really check on us while we were there. The inside of the restaurant is large and casual. There is plenty of seating and great for small or larger parties. No outside seating. Parking was easy since they have a whole lot to themselves.

Field Mushroom pizza  IG: @thefoodhigh

A few friends and I ordered 3 of their pizzas (Honey Bear, Field Mushroom, Margherita). The pie is cut into 6 decently sized slices. This was a delivery ordered which came at the estimated time so I can't speak much to the service or ambiance. The crust was thin crust and had a slightly doughyness on the crust. I'd rank the Field Mushroom as my first winner , then the Honey Bear (wish it had more meat), and Margherita (wasn't something I'd order again). The flavors are there and it was satisfying when ordering for a late night dinner on the beach. I'd come back to try a few other menu items. Happy Eating! "High on Food.

Had the pepperoni pizza with the cauliflower crust and it was AMAZING! Very flavorful. The cauliflower crust is a delicious alternative for someone wanting low cal pizza options!

Pitfire Pizza continues to be a very solid pizza option, especially if you are looking for a gluten-free pie that actually delivers. I had tried the LA location before, which made me confident coming into this visit, and this location did not disappoint. I ordered the gluten-free sausage and ricotta along with the gluten-free mushroom pizza, and both were excellent. The mushroom once again stood out with deep flavor and great balance. The gluten-free crust was crispy and held up really well, which is not always easy to find. It did not feel like a compromise at all, just a well executed pizza. Consistent quality and a great gluten-free option in Costa Mesa.

Catered this to a party! The downside was the wait time on doordash compared to the time we actually waited. We did the Family Meal: Roasted Chicken & Mushroom Cautappi Pasta, Sausage Party & Pesto Chicken Unfolded Pizzas, and Little Gem Caesar Salad. We also got the Boneless Buffalo Wings (Large) and a Classic Chopped Salad. To be honest, our judgement of the pizza is different from what we think of the wings due to the pizza being cold by the time we got it! All the flavor was there for the wings, but the coldness of the pizzas made it taste even more bland. The salads were great on the side to wash down with such a savory meal. If you get a chance to get the brews at the bar, definitely do it for a great, yummy buzz. We waited an hour for our pick up order. Halfway through, the gentlemen in the front let us know the Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka Pasta was actually out so we chose our second option, the Cautappi. I wish they would've let us know sooner because it makes it seem like that was what was setting them back from our order. Thanks for the reassurance from the man working the front that day and another lovely server. Hopefully next time I come, the day won't be too busy!

Amazing Honey Bear pizza! We came near closing so it was fast and calm place. LOVE IT!

Love this place Delicious pizza options and . They have great selection also on beers and draft wine and I believe margaritas. You order at the counter and get a number choose your table, and they bring the food to you. I really enjoyed the music they were playing.

Ordered delivery last night and was very disappointed. We got two pizzas and two orders of chicken wings... the food did not seem fresh and it was very dry and overcooked. Very sad to receive such mediocre food! Spent almost $100 and immediately regret choosing Pitfire. I had it one time that was really amazing and would say they are very hit or miss!!!!!!

Honey Berr (with Pepperoni)

If I was a drug addict and Pitfire was my drug of choice, I'd never quit. This is my favorite pizza spot in OC. I bring all my friends here and I go 1-2 times a month. The employees are all so kind, the food is amazing, and the drinks are perfect. They really dedicate themselves to giving you the best service possible. For instance, I ordered a Honey Berr pizza and they brought me TWO pizzas because the first one (according to them) was "too small" so they made me a second one! This place is the best, go ahead and try it.

This Place Is Awesome!!…read more I am not sure where to start on what I liked about this place.. This place was recommended by friends from Chicago.. From the moment we walked in the door we were greated by a friendly employee and he made us feel like we were gonna be taken care of.. The place looks like a pizza shop and has a total pizza vibe inside.. The place was clean and the seating was comfortable.. Ok... On to the food... We started with the bacon artichoke dip.. That was sooooooo good and just the right amount of cheese... Yum Yum... We also ordered a medium thin crust pepperoni pizza (to eat there) and we ordered a medium stuffed deep dish with mushrooms, pepperoni, and sausage to bring home for a dinner in a few days.. The thin crust pepperoni was so good.. I am a pizza snob and this was pretty damn good that I struggled to remember when the last time I had pizza this good..I am being honest too.. The deep dish we did a half bake so it cooks easier in our oven at home.. Smelled good in the car for the 90 minute drive home.. Shout out to Chris.. You could tell he cared about the products.. He asks if you have been there before and then helps you decide the right pizza to make your visit the best.. I liked that.. We had a couple of beers to wait for the pizza.. Thank You Chris M.. for a great visit!! Just remember good food is always worth the wait.. Everything is scratch made and it shows in the product when you are eating.. This place also doesn't break the bank either.. Last thing... The Restrooms are clean.. That matters as it reflects on the rest of the restaurant.. THANK YOU RANCE'S !! You Truly Earned My Future Visits..

Absolutely fire pizza. I know it gets super busy around dinner time so my friend and I came around…read more11:20 AM on a Monday and it was pretty empty but around 12 PM more people started filling up the restaurant. We got three of the slices our waiter recommended: Stay loose, Haole, sauce addiction, and mo honey mo problems. We loved that they had Detroit slices as well as the normal thin crust. The crust on the Detroit slice is light and airy even though it looks super thick like a focaccia slice. Although we liked the Detroit slice the thin pies were definitely our favorites. The crust isn't tough and was a good balance of crispy and fluffy. I thought the Stay Loose, Haole was a bit too salty and could have used more pineapple but the Sauce Addiction was amazing. Overall, I will 100% be back to try more slices and their appetizers! Ratings Stay Loose, Haole: 4/5 Sauce Addiction: 5/5 Mo Honey Mo Problems: 4.5/5

The Highlights: * The Food: They have some of the best pizza, mozzarella sticks, and even the Coke tastes better here. Even the chicken wings are solid. The taste and quality of the food are consistently high. * The Vibe: The environment is really unique and the service is always cool. It's a great local spot. * Logistics: Parking can be a bit of a struggle, but I've never had a major issue other than the line being long--which just goes to show how popular it is. The Only Critique: My only issue is that something in their ingredients routinely makes me feel unwell. I'm not sure exactly what it is--it's not just standard grease--but every time I eat it after taking a week off, I feel pretty bad for about 3 hours afterward. I suspect it might be a specific chemical or something like monosodium glutamate (MSG), but the food is so good that I honestly end up eating it anyway. Final Thoughts: If you can handle whatever "mystery ingredient" is in there, it's a 5-star experience. I'll keep coming back for the flavor alone!

Massimo Pizza - Costa Mesa Rating: (5/5)…read more Sometimes you want an artisan, wood-fired, ultra-balanced pizza. And sometimes... you just want a massive, unapologetic, cheesy beast of a pie. Massimo nails that second category so perfectly that it feels almost therapeutic. We ordered an XL pepperoni + sausage with extra cheese, and the thing that stood out immediately is that Massimo actually understands what extra cheese is supposed to mean. Most chains toss on maybe 25-50% more, and it barely changes anything. Here, they layer it so thick that the slices almost fuse together into one glorious sheet of bubbling mozzarella. You lift a slice and it stretches -- heavy, gooey, satisfying -- exactly the way you hope it will. Flavor-wise, it hits all the buttons. The pepperoni brings salt and crisp edges, the sausage has that savory punch, and yes -- it's a grease bomb in the best possible way. If greasy pizza isn't your thing, this might not be the spot. But if you embrace a good greasy pizza, whether you're recovering from a long night or just craving comfort food, this place delivers. What really surprised me was how well the sauce balances everything. It has enough acidity to cut through all that cheese, meat, and oil, keeping each bite from feeling heavy. Instead of being overwhelmed, you just want another slice. And another. I also grabbed a side of alfredo sauce for crust dipping, and it was fantastic -- creamy, rich, and basically turned the leftover crust into its own bonus meal. This isn't a dainty pizza. It isn't pretending to be health food. It's bold, salty, cheesy, greasy, and absolutely delicious -- exactly the kind of pie you daydream about when someone says, "Let's just order pizza tonight." Final verdict: Massimo doesn't just do "extra cheese" -- they commit to it. Big flavors, heavy slices, great sauce balance, and total satisfaction. For this style of pizza, it hits the spot every single time. 5/5 -- an easy must-order. If you want clean, delicate pizza... look elsewhere. If you want pizza that tastes like pure comfort -- this is your place.

Admittedly, I didn't know this restaurant existed walking up, and it was a spur of the moment…read moredecision after I discovered the nearby 17th Street Deli was already closed (3pm). So, pizza or pasta? I needed something in my stomach before a wine tasting at Hi-Time Wine Cellars afterwards. Definitely need food for that! I was in a hunt for lasagne, so I asked and the lady who took my order gave it a seal of approval. I was also eyeing the house specials, or a build your own option. Pizzas looked good on the neighboring tables, so that's probably my next time choice. I grabbed a comfortable booth and waited a bit. The lasagne came out piping hot with that lovely browned cheese top. I decided to avoid adding anything else except black pepper, which revealed it's flavorful as-is. Anyhow, I like the casual atmosphere, and the clientele seemed to be regulars on a Saturday afternoon. Very nice!
