    Naughty pie
    Lucy O.

    Was so happy to hear that there is a Prince Street location in Costa Mesa. This was my favorite pizza I tried when I was in New York and now it's close by! The naughty pie is my favorite! Thick crust, cheesy ricotta goodness, spicy thick pepperonis, vodka sauce, and honey drizzled on top. Amazing! The staff working there were efficient as our food was ready pretty quickly. There isn't really anywhere to sit inside, although there are some benches right outside. It's more of a pick up spot. I also noticed that they have a good lunch combo option- 2 slices and a drink for $12.99 which I will definitely try next time. There is a parking structure right next to their location. I will be a frequent visitor :)!

    We were in Newport and decided to try this location out since we liked the one in LA. This place was hard to find, it's on the outside of the mall on the ground level. When walking in we were greeted by the staff. They have the pizza lined up in the counter for you and a bathroom down the hall. Unfortunately the staff didn't know much about their rewards program and their website is garbage. The pizza was crispy and flavorful.

    We had such an amazing experience at Prince Street Pizza thanks to Alexis, Pedro, and Brandon! From the moment we walked in, they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Their positive energy made the whole experience EVEN better. You can tell they genuinely care! Pizza was a 10/10, AMAZING workers, and lovely lovely ambiance they created!

    An excellent pizza that had great flavor and was the perfect portion! We got the houston jalapeno, margherita, and meat lovers. The Houston jalapeno was delicious and spicy with some sweetness from the hot honey. The margherita was probably my favorite, perfect balance of all the Margherita flavors. Meat lovers was the least favorite, the sausage flavor was a little meh for us. Service was friendly and fast. No seating but clean and fun pictures of all the celebs that have stopped by. On the pricey side for just slices but still a great once in awhile treat!

    After a long day, we wanted some pizza. Prince Street Pizza is located near a ton of other businesses that share a parking structure - it faces the street. Before you go, just know that there isn't too much seating/space for larger groups, though there are some blocks out on the sidewalk where you can sit and enjoy a slice. I ordered the Spicy Spring and Naughty Pie - the Naughty Pie was a standout by far, with its spicy vodka sauce. They captured the flavors wonderfully with that slice - highly recommend. One caveat is that this place can be a bit on the pricier end ($7 a slice), but I can definitely see this becoming a staple on the late nights!

    No Ranch!!   Got it, thanks!!

    If you're hunting for some of the best pizza in Costa Mesa, Prince Street Pizza is absolutely in the conversation. Personally I'm a New York pizza person myself, and if we're getting ultra-specific, I love New Haven style. Yes, I've watched enough David Portnoy pizza reviews to qualify for a minor degree. I didn't even know what New Haven-style pizza was at one point, and now there's no going back. That being said, Prince Street Pizza is probably the best you're going to find around here. Their St Lois spicy Pepperoni is AWESOME! The crust hits, the flavor hits, and the slices mean business. Best of all you heat it up the next day in the air fryer and it's crispy and crunchy just like it was when you brought the box home. Now for the tragedy: this place is expensive. Like "let me check my banking app before ordering a second slice" expensive. And somehow, despite charging premium prices, they do not offer ranch. No ranch. Zero ranch. Apparently they've decided their pizza is too sophisticated for such peasant luxuries. Meanwhile, some of their slices would be elite with a little ranch. Note to the upper management, please swallow your bougie pride and sell us ranch, in fact make it in house and make it the best ranch we can find an area. If you can make pizza this good then I'm sure you can make a really good ranch to go with it. For the record, we pick up a few pies every couple of weeks for all the boys at the shop. Again, it's not cheap, but it is really good. Oh and by the way, this high end bougie pizza offers most of their delicious live n a box sell most of their pizza by the slice, which helps soften the financial blow. No excuses my fellow Costa Mesa peeps, stop in and try this place at least once. When you get there tell them Costa Mesa Dave sent you. Oh and don't forget to bring your own ranch!

    Visited Prince Street Pizza in Costa Mesa around 4pm and had a great experience. There was barely a line, service was fast, and the pizza came out piping hot. This location mainly does to-go orders and there's no seating inside. We took our slices upstairs and sat on one of the benches in the plaza, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch spot. I highly recommend coming with a group so you can mix and match slices -- everything looked amazing. The standout for me was the Naughty Pie slice. Worth the hype! For newcomers: the plaza has limited garage parking since it's shared with the Nightclub and other restaurants. Do anticipate searching around for parking if arriving during peak times or if there are events. Highly recommend stopping by here and bringing your pizza to the beach for a picnic!

    Been wanting to try Prince Street ever since I saw viral videos of their hot pepperoni slice! Their location is prime, right below Time nightclub and close to nearby bars in Costa Mesa. They were busy at 10pm on a Friday night, but we didn't have to wait long. We tried their meat lovers and prince perfection slices. Both were delicious! The marinara sauce is slightly sweet and super flavorful. The meat lovers had generous toppings of sausage and pep. We still have yet to try the OG spicy pepperoni but are planning to come back!

    Yum yum yum!!! Prince Street is one of my fave pizza spots so when my family was in from out of town, naturally we made a trip over. Prince Street didn't disappoint. There's a bit of construction on the strip so walking to the restaurant required a little detour but it was fine. The line wasn't super long. They didn't have a lot of pizzas on the display but they had full descriptions and we could order what we wanted. A few musts: Spicy Spring, Naughty Pie, the white pizza, a thin crust pizza with ricotta and mushrooms. All of it hit! The crispy crust is perfection. The toppings are top notch! Quality pizza! Can't wait to go back for another slice!

    Been wanting to try this spot for a while! Finally checked it out after bar hopping! We got a small slice of the Naughty pie and a whole pie of the Oakey Smokey! Not bad I think the whole pizzas are better than the slices. The slices sometimes aren't as fresh as the whole but it looks like they constantly making the pizzas especially after the night rush

    Finally got to cross this place off my list the other day. I never got to eat at the OG location in NY but I have tried Prince Street's LA location in the past, which I remember being delicious so I had high hopes for the Costa Mesa location. I ordered the Oakey Smokey, Mercer Margherita, and the Spicy Spring. All 3 slices were delicious but my favorite was the Oakey Smokey - a slice that was true to its NY roots with it being thin, crispy, and bursting with flavor. It was a twist on the classic margherita with its smoked mozzarella which added depth to an already great amalgamation of flavors and ingredients. All in all, I was definitely happy with how the pizzas came out and tasted. Unfortunately, the prices are a bit out of control with each slice costing $7 a piece. I had paid $44 for 6 slices. I could go to my other favorite pizza spot and get 3 full slices + a fountain drink for $11 which is essentially half the price AND with a drink. Pizza should never be this expensive....

    The Detroit style pizza was incredible. I tried the spicy pepperoni. The other was good but not amazing. I would stick with the Detroit thick rectangles next time. So crispy and delicious. Service was excellent and easy. Great to grab a slice after a night out and had a great time eating standing on the street. It was that good.

    Raven R.

    This place specializes in NY style pizza. I ordered through the Too Good To Go app and got a generous portion of different iterations of cheese pizzas. The place is small, but clean. Staff is friendly. Crust- Nice chewy crust in the middle with a crispness on the edge. Dough is on the thicker side. Cheese- Their cheese is excellent! Gooey and rich with a good amount and proportion to their sauce. Very tasty! Great experience overall!

This was our first time visiting, and I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant for quite some time. I was especially excited when they opened their Orange County location, so my expectations were high. The hosts were cold and unwelcoming, which isn't the impression you'd hope for when celebrating a special occasion. We were initially seated at a poor table and asked if it would be possible to move to one of the many empty tables we saw around the restaurant. We were told those tables were already reserved. Considering we also had reservations, that response felt a bit frustrating. Eventually, we were told there had just been a cancellation, and we were moved to a much better table. On a positive note, our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The drinks were excellent and were probably the highlight of the evening. I definitely recommend trying them. One thing that surprised me was how quickly the food arrived less than five minutes after ordering. While some may appreciate the speed, it made me wonder whether the dishes were pre-made rather than prepared to order. The overall experience felt more like fast-casual dining dressed up as fine dining. The restaurant seemed focused on turning tables quickly rather than creating a relaxed dining experience. We never felt encouraged to sit back, enjoy the evening, and celebrate the occasion. As for the food, it was mediocre and didn't stand out. Given the prices, I expected a much better dining experience. Overall, I left feeling disappointed. While the drinks and service were good, I'm not sure I would return regularly, especially considering the cost.
