I looked for a pizza place to grab some take out after a doctor appointment and saw that Pitfire Pizza opened at 11am. I utilized their online ordering for a pick up at 11:15am for 2 pizzas. If you're on a time crunch like I was, it may be better to keep your expectations low in regards the promise time. I arrived at 11:05 and continued to wait until 11:23 even though there was only one party of 2 that came to dine in. The saving grace was that the pizza was actually pretty good. The toppings were plentiful and pizza dough was flavorful. I wish their mushroom came with more enoki on top (literally couuld count 15 strands). I would still return to take advantage of their happy hour and delicous pizzas. read more

Just ate dinner here, and overall we enjoyed and would come back! Jonathan was awesome. He was super helpful with ordering, bringing us coke even when he could have just told us to go get it ourselves (I didn't realize!) and he was so nice!! 5 stars for him and the rest of the staff. Our honey bear pizza was so good and I was glad we could add red peppers to it. The kids didn't love their pizzas, and these kids love pizzas. Also, no kids menu to color on. I wasn't impressed by the veggies we ordered, or the cheesy garlic knots. Also it felt ridiculous that we had to pay for ranch. We just paid $95 for our dinner and a good tip, but we have to pay for ranch? Seems wrong for a pizza spot! But the vibes, wine, and our pizza were so good. You get what you pay for! read more

This is a great spot in downtown Orange to pick up dinner. It is a smallish dining room that can get crowded quickly. The staff is friendly and the food is pretty quickly served up. The ingredients were fresh and the pizza well prepared. The dining room was a bit dirty on a Friday night, but I think that it was due to the volume of people. Parking can be a challenge, but it is a great spot if you are in the area for an event. read more

Great Pizza, Great Service, Great Vibes! Pizza is always cooked to perfection and drinks are always ice cold!

Food is 10/10 been here a few times because I love it so much. I definitely recommend the cheesy knots, chopped salad w pepp & salami. For pizza my fav is the Pineapple Express but also recommend margherita. Drinks are also delish, love the staycation. Service is great, staff is wonderful. Ambiance is nice, great for date night or family gatherings. read more

This place did not disappoint. We ordered takeout for the feast before the run Disney half marathon. We ordered: the sausage party pizza, cheesy knots, and the mushroom pasta. It was all absolutely delicious. If i wasn't hungry, there would have been pictures. The cheesy knots come three to an order and are the size of a small bagel. They have all the garlic and Parmesan flavor. I recommend you always add these to your order. The pizza hits the spot with a fluffy not too thick crust and delicious combination of flavors from all the variety of meats. These folks know have to play ingredients for the perfect taste. Lastly, the pasta was delicious. You can smell and taste the garlic which I love. It uses pulled chicken breast, generous portion of mushrooms and arugula. While you are enjoying lots of cream you feel a little less guilty because the veggies are plentiful without being overwhelming. It's a great dish i would come back for. I am grateful for the delicious food and easy online ordering system. I'm am happy to say i am well carved for tomorrow's race. read more

Best happy hour in Orange County. Can't believe this place isn't overflowing with people. 10 bucks for a great pizza and 10 bucks for amazing cocktails. Monday through Friday 2 to 5. Not a happier place in town. Great service, fabulous food, fortified drinks! Come join us. PS. Come eat and drink before you hit the movie next-door. You'll enjoy the movie more afterwards. read more

This place is absolutely insane!! Best pizza EVER , no joke! Hands down the best I've ever had . The brussel sprouts were out of this world, and the watermelon lemonade was perfection .

In town and decided to try their pizza due to the good reviews. It was solid. The garlic knots aren't special. They are just the pizza crust with a stick of mozzarella cheese inside. I'd pass unless you are really into that. The pizza wasn't bad. The crust had a sour taste. Reminds me of sourdough. Toppings were good. read more

Great pizza. Good service. Amazing vibe. Good for big parties. Pizza was so soft and crust had to be eaten. It was that yummy! Mushroom pasta was fire. Cesar salad was refreshing with every leaf (just order - you'll see). Strawberry lemonade was delish. The ranch tasted homemade. Drool worthy. Overall great experience. I'll be back!! read more

Ordered takeout from here because I had great experience from the location in Costa Mesa. I was kinda disappointed. The pizza was ok, the pizza was soooo thin but the crust was so thick and tough. It did have great flavor though. What really disappointed me was the mac and cheese. I'm not sure if I got the wrong order but it just tastes like butter noodles. The noodles were cooked al dente but there was no cheese. The description said it was a creamy, 5 cheese mac and cheese. It was not! 2 stars for them being on time with my order and super nice. read more

Pizza was delicious. Bread is great! It's napolitano style crust very thin but you get a nice fluffy crust which I like. The artisan pizzas are so creative I want to try all of them! Can't wait to go back. I had the meat lovers one and o was surprised it wasn't salty. Usually those are salty, but not here. It does have a balsamic reduction sprinkled on top that I think balanced the flavor quite well. I also got the Brussels sprouts and they were salty because it had so much cheese. Once I took off the cheese where I could, they were good. I think next time I'll ask with cheese on the side. It's a self serve restaurant which is different but pretty neat. You grab your own carafe of water, to go boxes, everything is available and you don't have to wait for anyone to get what you need. read more

my boyfriend and I once again love the pizza here. I love the location, not too far from disney. The pizza, wings, and salad are all so amazing this is our favorite pizza spot.

Large group of us went to this location. Pizza was delicious. The mushroom, pumpkin and pepperoni pizzas were a hit. The others were good, too! The Kale and Caesar salad were amazing. I'd come back just to have the little gem Caesar. So fresh and delicious. The broccolini was perfectly cooked. Service was friendly. Drinks reasonable in cost. For 9 if us, it was under 300 with tip and we all brought food home. Ambience was nice...busy, but not crazy loud. read more

Finally tried this place after hearing about it from friends! You order at the front and then someone brings it out for us to where you are seated. I went with a group of 4 and shared a Honey Bear Pizza, Linguini Bolognese, Roasted Chicken & Mushroom Cauatappi. For the drink, I got The Pitfire Margarita. My favorite dish was the Honey Bear Pizza. You can definitely taste the honey, but it's not weirdly sweet. I loved the sausage because it was soft and packed with so much flavor! The chicken pasta lacked a lot of flavor. I used the sauce to dip my pizza into and it had more flavor mixed with something else. If you are a fan of tomato sauce, the Linguini Bolognese will do it for you. The margarita was a slushy form and tasted exactly like how a basic margarita should. The location was nice for pictures! We sat outside on a cold day, but a fireplace was placed outside. There was also a set up to pick up our own plates and chili flakes/parmesan seasoning. read more

Came here with a group for lunch. This place is clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The guy at the counter is friendly and answered all our questions. We ended up ordering a variety of pizzas, namely: Honey Bear, Sausage and Peppers, Field Mushroom. We also got an order of the mac and cheese. All the pizzas had a perfectly soft but crispy crust with a brick oven char. It was also loaded with cheese and toppings. The honey bear came with hot honey that added a hint of kick and sweetness to the savory palate. The field mushroom was so flavorful and probably my favorite since I am partial to mushrooms. Sausage and peppers had a smoky taste and the seasoning was on point. Mac and cheese was cheesy and had a nice panko crust that added extra texture. Overall a nice meal! read more

Visited on a rainy Saturday around 3:30pm. The restaurant was empty when I first arrived which was probably due to the time of day and bad weather. I dined there for about an hour and the restaurant was staring to fill up by the time I left. There is a lot of seating for large parties inside and on the patio outside. The restaurant seems pretty family friendly and almost every table I saw had kids (including mine). The portions were large and everything we had was good. The Honey Bear was a bit spicier than I was expecting but overall really good. I also enjoyed the linguini. The Brussels were served like street style corn which felt a bit too heavy for me (lots of cheese). Overall a solid option. Food was good, friendly staff and the space was nice. Also had tvs with sports playing! read more

I really enjoy the "fire singed" pizzas as well as the veggies cooked in the same oven. They have a lot of unique flavor combinations that are delicious. The set up is a little quirky. You order at the bar, as if the bartender wasn't busy enough. Like a lot of quick casual places, if you charge it then they ask for a tip prior to seeing how your visit went. No take backs!! As to tipping on service, there is very little service. The bartender does most everything (I hope they get most of the tip). The only other service is your food being brought to your table. It's up to you to get silverware, plates, napkins, and to-go containers. I know how it works now and that's fine. I am happy to come for the food and to keep the bartender busy serving cocktails beer and wine. read more

Nice greeted by David as we entered so kind to quickly assist us. So I immediately started with blonde ale Mainewest. Beer was served in a chilled glass. Nice taste. We self seated with menus. As I ordered David quickly answered my questions of menu options. We ordered the Little gem Vegan Caesar salad that I've had before but now CRAVE! The tart of fresh lemon and bread crumbs and cashew flavors blend AMAZING! I LITERALLY COME HERE FOR THIS SALAD! We decided to start to try different menu choices so we went with Heirloom tomatoes pizza. Also cheesy knots. Cody came out to bring our pizza and greeted us. Super friendly environment here! The music is a whole other vibe. I enjoyed the Rock steady music playing as we dined. Perfect place to enjoy a Beer or drink with the open area and the music. Food arrived in profient timing. The pizza had fresh sliced green heirloom tomatoes as well as cherry tomatoes slices on top after baking. The garlic knots were fresh crispy but soft bread texture in the middle. Please order them you'll love them with the marinara. So as we were dining I saw the chef taking photos of a New Seasonal item Secretly not on the menu yet! I asked about the item and he kindly offered one for me to try. Chef Juan you created comfort of a family Thanksgiving dish that is kicked up a few notches so Savory from the first bit to the end. First look I was in Heaven! He said Sweet potato I was Sold!! It was Beautifully presented! As I gently opened the skin I revealed the sweet potato underneath this Creation of whipped butter with parsley flakes. As a closer look I recognized the honey drizzle with chili flakes. This dish brought the feel of comfort food for sure with a delicate drizzle of honey added a slight control of sweetness to this perfectly baked potato. The combo of butter and slight drizzle of honey was perfect for a savory yet sweet combination to a Perfect meal. I'm looking forward to ordering this on the upcoming menu. Great job Chef Juan! But Don't forget my previous review for the Chocolate brownie with olive oil drizzle Yes I said Olive oil! Try all the sauces in House made chocolate fudge topping also the Carmel but not least the olive oil. Chef did a wild turn here, who would have thought? but worked out to our advantage of flavors as we experience it. Thank you for another delicious meal! Let Cody and the staff know we sent you!!! read more

Unfortunately, I can't have gluten or dairy because it makes me sick. I just tried the pit fire vegan gluten-free pizza with their homemade cheese and it's probably the best vegan gluten-free pizza I've ever tried and I've tried all of them ha ha ha. Also, my family is not vegan gluten-free and they got the cheesy pepperoni and said it was one of the best pizzas we've ever ordered. read more

Love this place! Parking: Shared parking in an outdoor plaza, so plenty of spots! Ambiance: Outdoor seating had a fireplace, and indoor there were TV screens playing various channels. Pizza: Sooooo good. Ordered the Sausage Party with the bacon on the side. It tasted delicious and had a nice chew. There were a lot of options and even a seasonal dish! Mac n cheese: I devoured this. 'Nuff said. Roasted Chicken & Mushroom Cavatappi: Needed a bit more salt, but otherwise, it was great. I would definitely order it again! I will say, though, that one of the downsides from what was ordered was the beer & cheese dip. The sauce seemed to have separated, and there was literally a pool of grease (or beer?) on the top. The taste of the beer was overpowering. It's unfortunate that you have to pay extra for sauces because we didn't touch it after our first taste. I have every intention of visiting again and trying out their cocktails next time, and more of their menu! read more

The food and drinks surpassed expectations! Everything was so good! Service was great and the food came out quick!

Really enjoyed my experience at Pitfire Pizza! First thing I noticed was the restaurant itself is a very cool vibe. I just got takeout but would love to sit down and have a slice. They had a bunch of awesome cookbooks and merch as well. I ordered two pizzas, one plain cheese and then a vegan pizza for my wife. Both were delicious. My wife has a hard time finding places that do good vegan pies, this place is one of them! Pitfire takes pizza seriously and treats it like an art. Well done, would definitely recommend! read more

My favorite pizza place in the area not only for the food but for the vibes. It can get busy on the weekends for dinner but if you time it right you can enjoy a chill laidback atmosphere pre dinner rush. They have heavy poor with their wine and have pretty good service. Sometimes they get short staffed but it's understandable. Most importantly their crust is awesome :) read more

Very cute place with colorful decor. The service concept is different that what I am used to, they ask you order at the counter and pay then they hand you a number and you may pick a table, an employee delivers your food to your table. The service can be slow sometimes during the week because they are understaffed. I don't recommend going when there is a Duck's game at the Honda Center because it can get overwhelmingly busy! Nevertheless, the food is delicious. We enjoy their pizza because they use fresh mozzarella. The wings are some of my favorite I've had because they use real chicken wings that were deboned, none of the chicken nugget nonsense. The Little Gem Caesar Salad is a must try! read more

Marco and Brianna helped us out and were super kind. Definitely recommend. Great service and great food.

I've been to another location out near Costa Mesa and I was in love with their pizza. I had previously gotten the honey bear and it is a perfect mid of sweet and salty and savory. There's bee pollen on it. I was so excited that this new location opened up so close to me. Took my partner there and the interior is pretty big. There's patio seating and I saw some dogs so I think the patio is pet friendly. There's a large bar area where you order and then take the number to wherever you want to sit. They were out of garlic knots unfortunately. We got honey bear again and the bbq chicken pizza. It did take quite a while. But that's the price to pay for fresh hand made pizzas. Both were so so good. I don't even like bbq chicken but the pizza was so tasty. Had some leftovers for the next day. I'm definitely already a repeat customer! read more

It was a missed fire at Pitfire for me. Order at the bar for dine-in and food will be brought to you. I recently went here to try because of all the amazing photos, but was let down. Not sure if it was an off day for the kitchen or what. Charred brussels sprouts was more burnt than charred. It was also very soft/soggy, but that wasn't an issue. I tried to eat most of it but just couldn't finish the extremely creamy burnt dish. All pizzas are thin crust. Sausage party pizza was pretty good. It's not crunchy but it's not bad with a fair amount of meat and good mozzarella. Got the $2 ranch dip and it was different because it had a hint of blue cheese and some dill in it...I liked it. Staff was extremely nice and patient. Restaurant is spacious and clean with outdoor seating and tv's. Water, utensils, and condiments are left out for everyone to self serve. read more

This was my first time here and had no idea what to expect. I thought it was a usual sit-down restaurant with wait staff, but it's one of those places where you order at the counter, take a number, and they bring you your stuff. I associate those places with lower-quality "fast food," but the food here was really legit. I got the Field Mushroom pizza and it was so good. The crust is perfect--thin but fluffy. They have a great selection of beer, wine, and cocktails and prices are totally reasonable. We got a pizza, a pasta dish, and two beers for about $50. If you're going to an event at Honda Center, this is a great place to park/eat and then walk over to avoid parking fees :) read more

Pitfire Pizza has been on my to try list for a while and so recently I placed an order through DoorDash to give it a try. I ordered the honey bear pizza and the corn and chorizo pizza. The flavors are so unique and the presentation made them look so irresistible. The corn and chorizo flavor had limes served with it that really brightened the flavor profile, bringing in some fresh acidity in a fun way. My favorite part of the honey bear was the ricotta and the sausage bits. I personally wasn't a fan of the calabrian chiles but I have a sensitivity to some textures and I just didn't like the feeling of it getting stuck in my teeth, I would omit the chiles in the future. I have not been here in person but after having a great experience from ordering online I really would love to sit down here one day. read more

I love the pizza here! And I was especially surprised to know it's a chain restaurant too. The space is full of color and great to hang out. They have an outdoor patio, which would be great for me to bring my pup too. There is also a bar with various drinks. This is where you'll also order your food to be brought out to you. My friend and I ordered the Honey Bear Pizza ($17) to share. This pizza has a little spice and a little sweetness, which is the perfect combo. I do wish the flavors were a bit heavier, but delicious nonetheless. The crust really held up all the toppings, which is great too. To wash it all down, I also got the Aww, Pear ($13) cocktail. This was pretty light in alcohol and flavor, so just okay in my book. I did try my friend's Staycation ($13) cocktail and I liked the hint of spice in this one much more. Overall, great spot for a drink and bite in the area. It was the perfect stop before catching a movie at the theatres across the street. read more

There's no way I can give this place anything more than one star. I ordered roasted cauliflower and they came ( not ) roasted. They were the worst cauliflower I've ever had. Ordered a side salad with it and toppings were extremely minimal to none and they gave very few leaves. I paid $23 for my order on DoorDash. giving this place another chance is unlikely! read more

I'm so happy I found this spot! I love that they're a upscale ish pizza shop. It's a cute modern diner feel but they serve pizza, pasta, salads & beers on tap & cocktails! It's sooo hard to find a mellow spot that serves great alcohol options and food. I definitely recommend this place for a date night or a casual gathering with your friends. We ordered basically from each category of the menu and like all the pastas. Our fave of all the pastas was the bolognese. The spinach pasta is the best The let down was the smothered cookie! It definitely did not come close to BJs pizookie. Although it was good, even tho it came out on a cast iron skillet the cookie was cold and the ice cream made the cookie more frozen and we couldn't jam our spoons into it. But other than that, I'd definitely come again. read more

This place is relatively new in the space that used to be Spin!. It is also a pizza place and there is always plenty of space. I have been here a couple times now and both times have been A-Ok. I have had the margherita here as well the Frose. The Frose is super yummy! The pizza is good for a spot that is convenient to seeing a movie either before or after hitting this place, but the dough is a bit over floured. There is also a nice patio area for drinking, and a fire pit that would be great to spend some time at with friends in the summer evenings. Overall, it was good and I'd return due to the convenience of the theatre! read more
