An easy 5 stars for this absolute 10/10 neighborhood spot! Both visits were super positive dining experiences. The vibe is extremely comfy & casual with a relevant game playing on the tv. Both times I had zero wait time. You get mind-blowing portions for unbelievable prices. The "Big Slice" Meal is shockingly huge and the baked tortellini is smothered in gooey melted and tastes just like Sundays at my Italian childhood home. To top it all the staff is fantastic! However, Leanne provided amazing service that goes completely above and beyond with her gracious, personable, attentive, proactive and friendly demeanor. Make sure to ask for her when you go. Give your tastebuds a treat and yourself a relaxing nice time out. P read more

This place is a gem! My son actually craving tortellini which made me turn to Yelp! Once again, Yelp came through. We ended up at Pizza D'Oro where he got his fix and I ordered a cheese pizza. My pizza was strategic. I had something I would eat and a backup in case my son didn't like his food. Well, that was a non-issue. He ate ALL of his tortellini and then a piece of pizza. He said he loved his food - and so did I. The staff were VERY friendly and checked on us regularly. I could tell that they had a lot of regulars at the place as some folks came in, sat, and ordered without a menu. The place is mostly small and not loud. This is a place that you'll enjoy from food and service perspective. Bonus points: the food is inexpensive for what you get. Good price for great food! I will definitely be back!!! read more

(5/5 Stars for Fusion & Fantastic Service) I've been coming to Pizza D. since I was a kid, so walking in under the new ownership had me a little nervous about how things might have changed. Turns out, change can be absolutely delicious. I ordered the **Clam Scampi Pasta**, and the new modern fusion twist completely blew me away. Instead of the heavy, overly drenched pasta dishes of the past, this was fresh, incredibly flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The sauce is punchy with garlic and herbs, loaded with clams, and has a great kick to it. Even better? The service is still top-tier. The meal came with a side salad, and my awesome server hooked it up by tossing on some extra arugula at no charge, adding a perfect, peppery modern crunch to the meal. Paired with that basket of garlic bread, it was the perfect mix of childhood nostalgia and elevated new flavors. **The Verdict:** New owners, same great soul, and an even better menu. If you're a Pizza D. regular from back in the day, do yourself a favor and try the new fusion pasta. You won't regret read more

Life is full of pasta-bilities! Let's sauce things up. A home where Italy meet a sports bar. Is the Ambience. But the food portion is amore-zing. A regular slice of pizza feeds two people easily. Ciao down on that. The service was good even got a little bit of a history lesson about the establishment. Pasta La vista baby. read more

The good - prompt completion of an order - delicious pizzas - mom and pop shop -good customer service The bad -none Love this place. I ordered and paid for two pizzas on a Monday for a meeting nearby that was to begin at 11 AM on a Friday. They open at 10:30 AM and the timing would be great if they could have it a few minutes before the meeting. A few other nearby pizza places opened at 11 AM and I didn't want to be late. So the start time is a score! Sure enough the pizzas were both ready and waiting super hot at 10:45 on a Friday. The cashier gave me some cheese topping and chili flakes and I was off. I ordered a medium pepperoni and a medium barbecue chicken, something a some of the other places didn't have available. They were so big that they barely fit in the medium boxes which supposedly fed 6-8 people each. Most of the two pizzas were gone with 10 people. Seems like the BBQ chicken was the more popular; it had the right combination of sweet and tangy sauce and bits of chicken though people also liked the pepperoni. They didn't skimp on the meat or cheese. I also loved that it was a mom and pop shop and price was about $25 each (though I really don't remember). All I know is that it was a great choice for a great meeting. Customer service was friendly, too with the cashier explaining the pizzas. On Friday - day of the event - I texted them to get a status on what time for pick up, and in a couple of minutes texting me back. Definitely a good find. Sorry I never got a picture because of the ravenous attendees. read more

Today my Wife and I wanted lunch, so we went to a spot our family love for dinner's, but we've never had luch at My wife had a baked pasta dish, with a meat ball a meat sauce. It was very good, as expected for dinner. I tried the mixed ravioli meat and cheese. I felt the pasta a little under cooked, but the meat sauce was very good. The filling was not enough to really taste it, the filling in both the cheese and meat, really needs to be increased to make them better. We also had cannoli, the filling was nice, the chocolate was good and plentiful; but was missing something. Most cannoli has almond extract, or Italian amaretto in the filling. We will always return, our family really enjoys the food served here. read more

Just dined in here for the first time and man oh man this place only gets better!! When picking up I always notice the inside is pretty packed and the food always looks so great so we decided let's go eat there. We decided to skip pizza and take advantage of the chicken parm deal and a rigatoni dish and these were incredible. The portion of the chicken parm was insane we packed it up to go home with us. The cutlet was juicy, crispy, covered in cheese and sauce, the spaghetti was perfect with a nice tasty meat sauce. The salad to start was also perfect I must add. The sausage and rigatoni dish my wife got was great she had the garlic red sauce and it had such a good kick! The staff is so friendly and the happy hour was great. I really can't believe the daily deals this place puts out it is such a gem!! read more

Thank you!!!! I need to make a correction to my review: Thursday nights are the tortellini special nights. Again: Pink sauce. Friday nights are the chicken parmigiana special. And if you haven't shared the Giant Slice of their incredible pizza, you're missing out! Cheers! read more

This is another neighborhood, Jim I absolutely love and adore. The nightly specials are amazing. Something for everyone. Always super tasty. Their giant pizza by the slice is like getting a small pizza. I enjoy every bite of it! It's small and cozy, but always inviting. The team is always friendly and helpful when I come in the door to pick up my order. read more

Never again. Greasy, chewy. Online ordering was easy. The pizza...not so easy to eat. read more

There are HEAPS of pie slingers around here. Some are noticeably better than others. This restaurant has AMAZING lunch specials each day of the week. Honestly, I felt lucky to find an empty seat today (Wednesday = Bottomless Spaghetti).. It's got a welcoming, family style trattoria vibe inside, highlighted by generous portions of tasty food served with a friendly, pretty/handsome smile I ordered "the BIG slice" w/side salad special from a courteous, female food server. The staff is engaged, professional, and attentive. The "Big Slice" is just that - a really big slice of pie. Here's where the "Big Slice" stops being a gimmick - it's absolutely a great tasting piece of pizza pie... no joke. I definitely recommend this little goldmine for its super high deliciosity rating, amazing atmosphere, obvious value, and ithe service of it's shiny, attentive staff read more

I cannot believe how delicious the pizzas are. I'm not even a pizza fan but we came here with the group, I tried the giant slice vegetarian pizza and my friends pepperoni giant Slice Pizza. I love how the toppings was extremely generous and the pizza crust was crispy and not too thick and doughy like most Pizza places. I was barely able to finish a third of my giant Slice Pizza which was double the size of my hand. The value for the money was incredible. The food was extremely fresh and made to order. Highly recommend trying this place if you are having a pizza craving. You will be very happy. read more

Outstanding value and comfort food at its best. I ordered the Sunday special lasagna for $14.50, which came with a side of spaghetti, a dinner salad, and garlic bread, and it absolutely exceeded expectations. The lasagna was rich, hearty, and clearly homemade, the spaghetti was perfectly cooked with great sauce, the salad was fresh, and the garlic bread was warm and flavorful. What really stood out was the portion size. This meal easily lasted me three meals, which is almost unheard of at this price point. Quality, quantity, and value all hit the mark. I will absolutely be back and highly recommend this Sunday special to anyone looking for a satisfying Italian meal. read more

Best service EVER! Food was GREAT also. They give you super LARGE portions and it was really good. It looks like a little pizza place from the outside. It's small inside, but you have to try it! You will love it. We have been going there for about 25 years, whenever we come to town! read more

Solid little spot- mom and pop Italian place with the red and white checkered tables--super cute! We sat in a small booth and it felt cozy, kind of date night vibes, but also a place you could easily bring the kids. Pretty mixed crowd, very chill environment. We got the chicken parm with penne and asked for the spicy diablo sauce instead of marinara--definitely a good choice since we like a little kick. Big portions, everything tasted fresh, and the chicken was nice and crispy under all that sauce and cheese. The garlic toast and salad were simple but good, and the meatballs were actually really solid. Came out to about $44 with tax and tip, which felt more than fair for how much food we got. Nothing fancy, just really good, comforting Italian food and a spot that feels easy to come back to. read more

Ordered med pizza pepperoni and sausage it was ok this time a little much cheese mushed up quickly! Dough was good. But worse value added the Parmesan chicken strip app thought it was different but for $11.75 basically a thin chicken breast cut in 6 slices same as the chicken parm dinner, this app should be $5.00 at most. Next time will just get the whole dinner with the salad, pasta and bread for $14.50 read more

I finally got to try this place after so many years of people telling me how great this place is. My order was the Chicken Diablo Pasta and it was one of the best Spicy Pastas I've ever had, and it had this spicy sauce with a really good kick to it, and the Noddles were soft, and had awesome flavor to the sauce which is a perfect balance. And I love that they have Deals every day of the week, so that you can get something really good every day. And the Garlic Bread was the best, I've ever had in my entire life it was so good you have to get it. I highly recommend this place to everyone if you want to get some of the best Italian Food you need to try this place out. read more

Pizza D'Oro - El Diablo Pasta - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Thought I'd take the time to applaud an excellent experience to start my weekend. I'm in the area for work on Friday, midday, looking for a bite to eat. Nothing really stood out, considered lil pickle, but decided on an ole favorite Pizza d'oro. We always came for the lasagna or spaghetti w/meat sauce, salad, and delicious garlic bread. Of course we'd order a giant slice or two to split with through the family. At any rate, I head in and order from a nice young woman and head out to wait for my slice. I come back to pick up my slice and a gentleman, I believe to be management/Owner, greets me and ask how he could help. I let him know I'm picking up a slice and he immediately heads back to check on it. He comes back with my slice and ask if I'd like a salad. (Free of charge) I thought it was such a simple, kind and generous offering. In today's climate with so many people, businesses, etc, being essentially on 'autopilot', it was nice to experience personal touch and warm smile over greed and the numbers game. If you are looking for a delicious quality meal with a perfect ambiance, look no further. This is your spot!! Attached is a pic of lunch Friday. (Full slice cut in half-seemed over a ft long) Cheers and Thank you read more

This wasn't the best of nights for my favorite family Italian restaurant. I've been coming here for years but this was an off night. There appeared to be having a youth pizza party and the kids and their families had taken over this very small restaurant. The kids and families were so loud I gave up trying to have a conversation with my wife. It looked like the owner was supervising the party but that didn't change anything. I remember in the distant past my children attending youth pizza parties but never at a very small restaurant. Maybe in the future it would make sense to close down your restaurant for such an event. Additionally, one of the best sausage sandwich could be had here but not on this night. The sausage tasted like overcooked meat but not Italian sausage and it was very dry. Maybe this was just an aberration. Addendum: BTW the Italian sausage sandwich was not good either. Interesting, in that I saw you went over to older couple who arrived after me and you apologized to them but you didn't make it over to my table. read more

Met a couple of friends here to celebrate a birthday and although it's a pretty small place, the staff is very friendly and the service was great. Def gives it a more intimate vibe. The pizza is so good with so many toppings to choose from and the wait wasn't very long either but just fyi the pizza sizes are bigger than you may initially expect! No complaints tho cuz we were able to take some home and the pizza tasted just as good warmed up as they did fresh out the oven read more

The pizza was good. Only complaint about it is that it had all the ingredients in the middle and droops when you go to pick up a slice. Service was terrible. Guy with the backwards hat has got to go. Horrible attitude and couldn't understand basic instructions. Had to give instructions to him 3x slowly so he could punch it in the tablet. Don't know what his issues are but it's really bad representation for the company. The brunette with the black outfit was equally as bad. Horrible attitude and unwelcoming. read more

My fiancé and I were looking for a local Italian spot to try since we are semi new to Costa Mesa. The first time we tried this place we ordered a pizza with pepperoni and mushroom which was really good. Then we decided to try their sub sandwiches my fiancé got a " meatball" which didn't taste or look like actual meatballs, not to mention the flavorless marinara. I tried their chicken Parm sandwich, which also was very bland and I tasted more of a burnt flavor than actual chicken. Sorry to say, but we will not be returning customers. read more

Catering was very good. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Will use again. Our guests enjoyed the food. read more

Love this place! My family has been coming here for 30+ years, and it's still amazing. Delicious food, friendly service, and that warm, homey feeling every time. They even made sure each of my daughters got a slice and offered me a drink while I waited--top-notch all around! read more
