Really good pizza! I love the slightly toasted texture and the perfect chewiness of the dough. The lady who helped us was so sweet and accommodating--she even gave me free condiments! Their homemade ranch was also so good. Really appreciated the thoughtful service.
Delicious thin crust pizza! Very foldable, crisp, and their sausage and pepperonis are like little cups of deliciousness. Love their deals and daily specials. Glad to know the hype was worth it. Def park in the cheaper structures nearby to walk to it. Order at the window only or you might get embarrassed like me opening the cool door! Staff there are also friendly and quick!
Best Pizza I've had in Santa Ana and the service was excellent . A must try if you live in Santa Ana and it's worth the drive to try it
Great slice for a great price !! Been on my list to visit and glad we did we love pizza and this place didn't disappoint. They even use cup n char pepperoni and the slice was only $4.15 . It is a walk up window and only a bench to sit on out front . The staff was friendly and we will be back .
I randomly saw santos on a Thursday around lunch time and the bright colors caught my eye. I parked by a near parking structure with free parking for 1hr. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza, order came out fast. The pizza was delicious, crust was good, the pepperoni was crispy. $4.15 for a slice of pizza was cool, The lunch special prices were also great, $5 for a slice of pizza and soda. I really want to try a whole pizza next time.
Santos Pizza has quickly become my favorite new lunch spot! The pizza is always fire, fresh, and seriously on point every time. I love having a spot like this nearby with consistently great pizza and a super convenient pizza window. Definitely a new favorite in Santa Ana and highly recommend!
I don't eat out much because I'm broke, but today I came to santos and I couldn't be happier, I am a pizza connoisseur and I make my own pizza but I chose to come here and man was I not disappointed Kobe and Christian were super helpful and made me an amazing slice, please do your self a favor and come check them out! Little shop on the corner with the great vibes and better pizza
Visited during their one year anniversary after all the great reviews and it was just ok. The pizza dough was pretty great but they overdid it with the cornmeal and it made the pizza flat and gritty textured. Ordered a pepperoni and a cheese pizza that we ate pretty quickly in the hot sun. They only have full sugar sodas, no diet or zeros. Service was fast and easy. You order at a window and eat on the sunny side of the street. They have some standing under shade.
In one word? Perfection. They offer whole pizzas and slices. While they have a variety of whole pies you can order their slices are only pepperoni and cheese. I ordered one of each and a side of ranch. They have the best ranch but their pizza didn't need a drop of it. Really thin crust pizza with an absolute perfect cook on the bottom. Flavor wise they were both a hit and I would get either one again. Really reasonably priced too at $3.95/4.15 a slice. Worker was super nice and you can really tell they care about the customer experience. I fully plan to be back to try some of their whole pizza options
Pizza was absolutely delicious, it's so perfectly crispy and flavorful. I wish I could try their specialty pizza in slices but only cheese and pepperoni are sold in slices. It's a good place to try for the experience, I'd definitely be in trouble if I live near santos cuz all my money be going here haha Service was quick and the staff was friendly
I am a FAN! Everything I have eaten in this area has been very good but this place takes the pie! It has been years since I had good pizza! This is my favorite in recent memory....crust was nice and thin, soft with a satisfying crisp, sauce was full of flavor, we ordered light cheese, which is how we like it... The place itself is pretty modest--a window next to a door painted with an image of dripping cheese. It's a very cool vibe while being very simple. There's no outdoor seating, which I wish they did have but the pizza is worth the 20 minute wait.
Never fails, not sure how many times I've been here & I always forget to check-in on yelp but I crave this pizza so much and I'm glad they started doing the lunch specials as well as the slice of the day. Stop by and grab a slice or even a whole pie, you won't be disappointed
This is a pickup order. We called ahead and the pizza was ready when we got there. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. We got a 16" pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives. Dough is chewy with a crisp edge. They put a good amount of cheese, and toppings were evenly distributed. It was fresh and hot. Pretty tasty! Great experience overall! read more

I claim not be a thin crust connoisseur but this a damn good pizza (I usually opt for thicker style pizzas). Perfect ratio on everything sitting on a delicious dough. Santos earned a ranking high on my pizza list topping Regents in La Jolla. Thankfully, I found it by doing search on best OC pizzas and I'll take the drive from La Palma anytime. Extra notes: sampled their house ranch (good stuff) and partook in a tall can while sitting in the outdoor street courtyard. read more

I miss NY pizza...This is the closest thing to it! Amazing! I spotted this place driving around when I was looking for parking and decided to try it out. Glad I did because I found my new favorite pizza spot. They have a great lunch special but only limited to pepperoni and cheese. I will have to try one of their other specialty pizzas some other day. Thank you, Santos pizza for some great thin slice pizza that in my opinion is second to none unless I'm in New York. read more

I saw this spot pop up on my IG and bookmarked it immediately. After a long, exhausting moving day, my husband and I didn't feel like going out for Valentine's Day, so we decided to do takeout instead--and I finally remembered this pizza place I'd been wanting to try. I ordered online and got half Rocket 88 and half Gasser. The place itself is a small takeout spot, but my pizza was ready right on time, and the guy who helped me was super nice and helpful. The pizza was honestly one of the best New York-style pizzas I've had in Orange County. Super thin, but the crust was still fluffy and amazing. I even reheated it the next day and it was just as good. 10/10--would definitely come back to try more flavors. read more

I think I just found my favorite local pizza spot! On a Saturday night, I was craving pizza and this was one of the few places open late (2am!), so we decided to give it a try. We called ahead and they told us it would be ready in 20 minutes, which was gave us enough time to drive over and find parking. Downtown Santa Ana can be a little tricky to find parking with a lot of people going to bars and limited street parking, but we managed. The spot itself is truly a hole in the wall with just a walk-up window to order and pick up your pizza. The staff was very friendly and even thanked us for calling ahead. We ordered half Supreme De Luxe and half Hirohata with hot honey on top. The worker mentioned those were their most popular. To our surprise, it was HUGE! The pieces were like Costco slices. I didn't realize it was a large pizza, which definitely justified the $39 price tag. It was loaded with toppings, and I appreciated that the meats weren't overly salty or spicy. The thin-cut sausage and crisp pepperoni added crunchy texture, and the crust was just right by being not too thin and not too thick. The hot honey brought everything together with just the right balance of sweet and spicy. Specifically, the Hirohata proved that pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza. The sweet pineapple paired perfectly with the heat from the jalapeños. It had a totally different flavor profile from the Supreme, which was equally as delicious. Honestly, it was so good I struggled to stop eating, and ended up eating more than I planned. It's THE spot for delicious takeout pizza or a late-night bite while bar hopping. I'll definitely be back to try more! read more
NOTE: Ate outside the order window on 10/4/25. There's not really any seating but you can sit on a bench out front if it's available. Otherwise just stand and eat! Parking can be tricky if it's on the weekend, as DTSA is lively. Super late hours (2am on Fri and Sat) Let's start with some credentials. I'm a pizza enthusiast, but not necessarily a connoisseur. I also spent my winter and summer breaks in New York as I was growing up, if that means anything. I've had L'indistrie (both locations, and yes, the original one in Brooklyn is better), but honestly I prefer a slice from Paulie Gee's in Greenpoint. For anyone who isn't familiar, one of Paulie Gee's specialties is the Hellboy, which I think started off the trend of putting Mike's Hot Honey on pepperoni pizza. It's such a simple addition, but a revolutionary one for your tastebuds! It's gotta have the right balance of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni in every bite. And it should have a slight crunch, not be super droopy, and fold easily using one hand. That's what I think of when I think of an ideal slice for me. Anyway, I have been searching far and wide for a slice that sparks that level of joy in me. I actually really loved Shin's Pizza in Cypress Park, but they closed :( Then there are a few I've yet to try, such as Secret Pizza, Weirdoughs, and Wallflour Pizza. But I've had Appolonia, Esco's, Danny Boy's... all good slices! But there was always something missing. I had no idea that I'd have my pizza ratatouille moment in Downtown Santa Ana, of all places, but it happened. Super friendly staff, and the slices are perfectly heated. I had to wait a while before eating mine, otherwise I'd burn my mouth and tongue! But yes, it was bliss upon first bite. Tomato sauce, pepperoni with crispy edges, the cheese, the crust, and the hot honey drizzle were like a symphony reaching its crescendo in my mouth. Best of all? Reasonable prices. 18 inch slice for $5 ($4 if you don't want hot honey). This is THE spot to beat and would easily be a popular slice in New York. read more

Saw this on instagram. Had to give it a go. Right out the gates my new favorite pizza joint in santa ana! Talk about freshness the crust was just the right thickness sauce not over powering. Toppings perfectly balanced. We ordered the Hawaiian which i would never order but today I took one for the team. Added my own touches of Canadian bacon and bacon pieces. I am officially a LIKER! Well done Santos! read more

Awesome pizza spot on 3rd street! It's just a little window however you can sit in the outdoor area to the left. For a slice of pizza there is only pepperoni or cheese. The pepperoni is so good! Perfectly crispy as is the crust! It's thin slice & super good. For the whole pizzas they has way more options I tried the Hawaiian and added jalapeños. Really yummy! They people are really kind & the service I quick! Will continue returning. read more

Nestled on the corner of 3rd, look for the Pepperoni and cheese looking awning and door (yellow with red dots) and you've found a slice of happiness. DTSA needed exactly this. Artistic approach from a passionate business owner. Creative store front, sharing the passion of classic cars, motorcycles, skateboarding and art. What Did I Order: - $4 Pizza By the Slice: Cheese 5/5 stars - Pan Head Pie 5/5 stars Light thin crust, still crisp so it can be picked up and folded. Toppings that are plentiful and quality you can taste. Don't even bother asking for grated Parmesan packets. The cheese on this pizza is of a quality that you should not even need it. If it's a whole pie or you just crave a slice, what you get is a quality pizza, served by people who care and are passionate about providing a memorable experience. The prices are fair. The ownership and crew here are welcoming and warm. I'll be back again and again and again read more
This place has some of the best pizza I have ever had. You can tell the owner has done his research on how to make the perfect dough and where to get the highest quality, best tasting cheese and toppings. I had a slice of the pepperoni and it was absolutely amazing. The crust was perfect without too much cornmeal on the bottom. Light, soft, and delicious. The pepperonis! So darn good. The staff was super nice and the aesthetic of the place was super hip. I even bought a shirt to show my Santos support. If you haven't had this place, you must. read more

tasty We ordered two slices os peperoni with honey hot drizzle and one Dr. Pepper. The crust was crunchy not thick nor thin. The slices were hot but did not burn the tongue. Give the hot slice a minute before biting into it. The sauce was very good. The flavors were well balanced. The cheese, no pues wow! The people happy and busy little joint! Rudy met with us with cheers and suggested the slices. He is a genuine kind man and I recommend this place 100 times over! Don't miss out. A lil gem. read more
I had a wonderful experience at Santos Pizza. When I walked up, the menu was easily accessible and I opted for the Pepperoni Pizza Slice with hot honey drizzle which was highly recommended by Alex. The service was fast as the pizza was ready immediately and the slice tasted fresh. The slice itself was sturdy yet chewy and I liked the fact that they were confident enough in their own cheese to joke that Parmesan wasn't necessary. The ambiance reminds me of a pizza by the slice shop in NY or DC and its nice that they have such a nice relationship with the Mexican restaurant to their left that they allow use of the alley for customers. I can't rave about this place enough and definitely will be a regular! read more

Is the pizza on a conveyer belt or is an actual oven used to crisp the dough?
