First up, Pizza Bar has an amazing location - it's proximate to Laguna Beach's downtown area AND the beach. Once you get there, you'll find that their pizza is very good; the crust is nothing short of phenomenal! It stands up to the generous weight of the premium toppings they use really well, and the taste of their pies is both distinctive and satisfying. The pizza alone makes this place worth a visit. That said, what really makes Pizza Bar stand out from the rest of the pack is their Poutine. Poutine is a dish originated in Canada. Anyone who's ever tried it there knows that our neighbors to the North have set a truly high bar for this hearty dish. I was delighted to observe that the Poutine served here is every bit as good, if not better, than the Poutine I've had in Canada :-) What makes or breaks an exceptional Poutine is the gravy, and the one they make here is both totally legit and delicious! The portion size is more than generous, with both fries and cheese that are nothing short of first class. I heartly recommend that you come here and try both the pizza and the Poutine, but if you can only have one, go North, my friends, go North! ;-) read more

TLDR: Spend your $20 elsewhere across the street at any one of the handful of delicious restaurants. Pizza tastes like cardboard and pale dough throughout. Is there just one good baker at this establishment and a bunch of bad ones? The majority of reviewers state the pizza is "meh" with people, far and few, who actually enjoyed the pizza. We ordered a cheese pizza because it's an easy and simple option. Can't really go wrong with it, right? Oh, but it went so wrong. At least the staff was super. Maybe they just need a new chef..who knows. To start, literally no joke, Walmart's ready-baked pizza tastes better than the cheese pizza we ordered. Little Caesar's $5 pizza is like Spago's white truffle pizza compared to what we experienced here. The dough was chewy, yet hard. It was dense like that of a muffin or bagel and looked like the warmed up flatbread from subway. The pizza dough, from top to bottom, was pale white but it wasn't pasty tasting so it seems to be cooked all the way through...but it was just so bland. So bland, that it in picks up the flavor from the cardboard box. The cheese and sauce was nothing to rave about either. Look at the various posted pictures to see the trends of what I'm describing. I should have known and expected the outcome as when I walked in to pick up our order, the pizzas pre-made and on display looked dismal to say the least. The margherita pizza should be simple and fresh looking, yet it looked very depressing with each slice getting one long, hard sliced, sliver of mozzarella cheese and one whole basil leaf if you were lucky (one slice had half a leaf). I can't comment on anything else, but am glad I didn't get to try anything else. read more

First time to try...so glad we did! Mozzarella sticks were not over breaded & had a wonderful thin crisp. So satisfying. I don't usually eat thin crust pizza but I really loved the margharita pizza. Sauce was not over acidic & we tasted each ingredient on the pizza as should be with a good pizza! Perfect amount of cheese. We are Very happy customers today. Thanks read more

Good slice pizza. Their sauce is really good. Try the mushroom pizza with pesto sauce. Recommend it

Look. I'm trying to be kind here, but this pizza brought me to tears in a bad way. Zero flavor, limp crust and it tasted old. :( The spinach was slimy and even the bacon (bacon on a pizza?) had absolutely no flavor. Comparing this with most 'pizza by the slice' places (not even counting the ones in NYC), this does not stack up and we threw most of it away read more

I think this place can become 5 stars easily, but they need to change some things. The pricing is really high for a pizza... the competition is tough when cheap mega corps like Pizza Hut and Domino's exist but I won't blame them because ingredients probably aren't cheap right now either. But I think changing how the pizzas are made can result in better pizzas and more customers. The chicken tastes very bland and almost like it was boiled. If it was grilled and cut, seasoned right and thrown in the pizza to reheat it would be really good. For the artichokes, I'd use much smaller cuts and leave a bit of the artichoke oil with the pieces, it's what really makes them a tasty topping. The pizzas was also floppy and soggy, light on the sauce and it should fix that problem... but I'm not a pizza expert and I'm sure they are more than capable of running this than I am... just my 2¢. When I came here I was deciding between pizza or gyro and I regret the pizza, the gyro would be more flavorful. read more

It was like $7.50 for a slice of cheese. The pizza was mediocre; think high end elementary school cafeteria pizza.

Girl at the register was really rude and refused to make eye contact, ignored me while I was at the register so she could finish her conversation with her coworker first. Annoyed when I asked if they had veggie pizza, because I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting a slice with meat on it. Totally uncalled for and I never leave negative reviews. The other two workers were professional, kind, cleaning and preparing the pizzas. read more

First of all they lied about being new owners because the pizza was horrible. I have been coming to laguna beach for years and years and always stop and have dinner at this place. The name is now mama something (hispanic name, can't recall) they use the name pizza bar as well. The cashier was telling tell me (after asking why is the pizza 5" thick) that the pizza is gonna be different because depends how much yeast is in it ??????? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh huh????? I don't care this isn't flavor of the day lady! And salad well it's the kind you get in a bag at the grocery store except I paid 15$, period! Horrible I will NEVER eat there again. Oh and water they give u in a Dixie cup :/ Promise you will NOT be happy. I sure Miss the old owners :/ read more

I usually don't leave reviews. 1. Pizza taste terrible. 2. Customer doesn't exist. 3. We got the equivalent of a large pizza (2 cheese, 2 pep, 2 Italian) for $38!!!! Do not come here. Will order from BJ next time. read more

After years of having a negative experience here, we decided to come back for a pizza, maybe it's good, but unfortunately it was the same! For some reason, when I see this place I think of good pizza but it's the Taco Bell of pizza! Nothing really fresh just frozen pizza lacking texture, dolors, scent and most importantly flavour! 20 bucks for frozen pizza, I see no value in this at all! I understand the location, it's expensive to rent a place in that area but seriously, you guys can do better quality! read more

Pizza is amazing. Crispy pizza just how I like it. Dough and is extra flavorful and the Wisconsin cheese is as an added bonus! Highly recommend the Lemon Ice, the Strawberry was really good! read more

This has got to be the worst customer service ever. For an overpriced pizza, the taste is not even worth it. I bought mushroom pizza and they forgot to give it. I had to follow up to get my pizza. I bought sea salt ice cream with double chocolate cookie but I got mint ice cream Instead! Then my bf bought coffee, they forgot the coffee again! We had to follow up before they make it all while the other orders after us has been delivered. They dont even have caramel latte that my bf ordered!! And worse, the coffee straight up tastes like sugar and milk! So disgusting. read more

The service was terrible, took 50 minutes to get our pizza. The place wasn't crowded but it seemed as if they fixed one order at time. Pizza was just okay...had way too much bbq sauce and there were two pieces that had chicken bones (so glad we didn't choke on it). I will never come back here. read more

I want to start off by saying, the first two times I went to pizza bar during the week, there were only two employees upfront, both times, the margherita pizza were remarkable. Made by Jessy and Cesar. Truly one of the most greatest pizzas i've ever had. Unfortunately today of all days, this bald headed,mean, STINGY!!! owner named Peter had the pleasure of taking AND making my order with Jessy and Cesar in the kitchen. Which is absurd!!! The pizza was horribly made. Dry. Ingredients were missing. Frankly very VERY disappointing. If you want a very well done pizza, only come during the weekdays, when the bald headed penny- pinching guy isn't there. If he is, save your money and go somewhere else. Ironic how it's "No one cooks like mama". Since no one cooks like Cesar and Jessy... read more

Decent pies here. I wouldn't say anything crazy unique. It didn't blow me away but it's convenient and a great place to people watch :)

TL/DR: Do not order from here. Bypass the positive reviews, and trust me, it is not good pizza if you've literally ever eaten any other pizza before In your life, this is trash. TRASHHHHHHH. This pizza was awful. We're staying at a nearby hotel, it got late, we thought we divert from the dominos and try something local and *some* of the pictures looked good so we thought we would give it a shout. We got a cheese pizza that isn't as good as chuckie cheese or, any frozen pizza I've ever had in my life. We got a cheese bread, which was just a disappointing cheese pizza without the sauce. We also got a bbq chicken pizza which was the first time I've ever had red sauce be the base of a bbq chicken which didn't make it good either. Wings, tasted old like that had been sitting all day or were frozen prior. The dough/crust was flavorless and almost like cardboard like. The chicken pizza did have a big amount of chicken on there that was literally the only mark this place got in the plus column. Let's not forget that with 2 medium pizzas, cheese bread, and wings total was 85 bucks before delivery. Same order from dominos woulda been like 25-30 and been way better. I hate blasting places on yelp, but these guys deserve it for what they called pizza and the audacity they had with their pricing. Save yourself the disappointment, go elsewhere. read more

Pizza has very little flavor, lot of oil, eating a few slices will put you on the throne no doubt. Only pizza joint open late in the area so not a lot of options... but this isn't a destination spot. And 6 bucks+ for a multi topping slice is steep given quality, even for Laguna... read more

Worst restaurant! DON'T come here if you have a good allergy. I ordered the vegan cheese pizza because I'm allergic to dairy. I also told them several times that I am allergic to dairy and they said it doesn't have dairy. Well I started eating it and it didn't taste right. Come to find out they put butter all over the crust. Thanks for making me SICK right before my friend's wedding. This restaurant SUCKS!!!! And the crust was all BURNT so ever if you eat dairy you probably don't want a gross burnt slice of pizza. read more

This is our absolute favorite pizza of all time! Crispiest crust I've ever had! We love the Greek pizza but they are all fantastic. Fresh and flavorful. Great service, easy carry out to eat while you watch amazing sunset on Main Beach. read more

Not gunna lie. Mixed thoughts. Pizza was not amazing. Cheese didn't stick to pizza and wasn't used to non-NY style pizza. Will post a picture. Redeeming factor was the poutine. Wife is from Canada and she gave it 5 stars. Full of gravy and cheese curds were legit. Servers were very sweet, just wish bugs weren't in the entrance way due to open door. Check this place out and let me know if you agree! read more

Terrible customer service. Young girl working the front was rude and suggested us to sit outside in the cold while she had a whole booth inside warm doing her homework. We sat in the booth where she was and she wouldn't move her book bag and could care less that we were forced to sit on the edge of the booth and making us feel very un welcomed. Disgusting attitude. read more

This place was such a great find! The staff was so friendly, the restaurant was clean and modern, and the pizza was delicious. Not to mention the location was perfect... right on the beach! We loved the unique pizzas and well as the more traditional. The pizza by the slice was also a convenient option. Thanks, Pizza Bar! read more

Liked the outdoor upholstered benches. Sorry to say service seemed a bit indifferent. Trash on a table, order taking a bit slow, nicely staffed but still not tidy or quick. Got 2 slices plus drink for $12. Veggie and California (margherita plus meat). Took less time than expected to get slices warmed, once order placed. Veggie was tasty but not remarkable. Wife liked her California style. Nice location for people watching. Thankfully the dog was not an issue, with outdoor upholstered benches. read more

Wouldn't write this comment if there pizza was any good but between their bad pizza and the dude who answers the phones attitude and how he lies all the time about when they are closed and closing (always try and flame a solid 30 even 40 minutes before the time posted online) that they are closed and is extremely rude But yeah pizzas over priced and oily and is usually undercooked. Go to slice down the street you can get a whole personal hand made pie where you choose the ingridients and whose pizza is actually good compared to this place. The only thing they have going for them is the location but their pizza sucks and their ustomer service is terrible. Always regret my decision of trying their just live right across the street from them and will try and call to have a slice or two thrown in right before close.. he'll not only lie but then snap at me and hang up the phone Don't see how hard it is to put a slice in an over and charge me at the register when it's 15 minutes before close? Your doors still open but on the phone say you locked up and closed? I can literally see it out my window not to mention the clock even says 9:13 and your door says you close at 9:30 looks like someone just wants to start to break down early and get out as quick as possible even if that means loosing a sale or two Get your employees act together they are loosing you money! read more

Burnt crust, no cheese, honestly just bad pizza. Not good gluten free pizza, and not worth the price.

My family and I decided to try this since my sister loves pizza! We got separate slices: the mushroom pizza which had I think 3 types of mushrooms and cheese, the Hawaiian one (which included bacon, ham, pineapple) and the veggie pizza. All three were delicious. It is a very casual spot and the pizzas were by the counter where it looks ready but needed to be reheated if ordered by the slice. We also tried the poutine fries. They were very good! They were fries topped with gravy and cheese curds. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area! read more

Trust the one star reviews! It's not an easy thing to mess pizza up but somehow pizza bar succeeds. $24 for three slices of the most flavorless, limp, cardboard pizza. It sits in a display and they just heat it up, not even fresh pizza. Mine should have had lots of flavor too - onions, olives, feta. Bland bland bland, zero flavor. We all left starving and immediately had to go find a snack. Only reason I imagine they're still in business is their location. read more

My favorite place visiting laguna beach! Can't complain about this pizza place! Can't wait to visit back again!

The food was great, the service was even better! Our pizzas and breadsticks were so good & came out quickly! The man who I am assuming is the owner took our order & checked on us several times to make sure we liked our food and had everything we needed. He was running all over the restaurant taking care of everyone & bringing over pitchers of water to all the waiting customers. We will definitely be back before we head home from vacation! read more

This spot is HORRIBLE! The wait is extremely long for garbage food. The 10$ garlic Parmesan breadsticks have a rubber cheese with no garlic in sight, it's also extremely small. The pizza makes little caesars seem amazing. The ranch also taste like vinegar and spoiled milk. 2 slices of pizza 1 drink and the bread was 30$ complete garbage read more
