My boyfriend and i were planning to bring it to hotel, but we ended up having a bite in the parking lot, and, needless to say, it didn't make it to the hotel That crust is amazing!!!!! The first bite gives you the perfect satisfying crunch with a light bread and the perfect amount of toppings. It's great that you can order pizza by slice as well. Will definitely be back to try other flavors! read more

Sugo - Killer Bee Slice and Carnivora Slice - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've heard of this place, never had it. The other day, my boss ordered Sugo for a company meeting. Personally, I got the Killer Bee slice and the standard pepperoni. I'm not normally a big crust guy, and I was a little worried about have crust edges on all of my pizza, but dang, the crust was perfectly crunchy and delicious. The pepperoni was so good. Thick little slices that cup up when they're cooked. Edges crispy. Nice. The Killer Bee slice might be one of my new favorite things, like, I'd order it again soon. Pepperoni, Gorgonzola, mozzarella, fresh basil, and spicy honey...I don't really have to say more. The flavors were crazy! Salty, sweet, savory...my taste buds were trippin! Knock out job on that combination. See you soon! read more

Sugo Pizza was so good! The pizza was fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect crust. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and every slice was delicious.

EDIT: Sandro, the owner reached out to me and made me aware that they improved a lot of our processes since I ate here, especially with their online orders. They have gone through a dough upgrade so that the pizzas can travel better. Unfortunately I live out of state and cannot give them another try, but keep this in mind when you see my review. REVIEW: My review is specially for a Togo order. We placed it for a specific time, picked it up a couple minutes past the "it's ready" message, and drove it 6 minutes back to our hotel. By the time we opened up the box, the pizza looked phenomenal, but was cold and tasteless. I was extremely disappointed because the reviews for this location are great, and the pizza was overpriced. I would not recommend ordering Togo, or eating here in general. read more

First time at Sugo and was so impressed! They have a large variety of pizzas to choose from that can be ordered by the slice or whole. All pizzas are available in their display case, and once you order your flavor, they will bake it and have it out to you in no time! I especially appreciated how flexible the staff was. They were able to make any of the flavors without cheese (dairy-free) by request. They let me know it would take a bit longer to be ready, but I did not mind waiting. I ordered the Contadina pizza that came with italian sausage, caramelized onions, and chives. It was absolutely delicious and immediately had me excited to come back and order again! read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, and I finally stopped by to pick up a couple of pizzas. The place is small with just a few seats along the wall. I ordered the Queso Fundido and the Japanese pizza -- both were incredibly unique and packed with flavor. The crust was crispy, light, and perfectly done. The Japanese pizza was surprisingly delicious; the combination of mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms, porchetta, kewpie miso sauce, and bonito flakes worked really well together. Every bite had a great balance of savory and umami flavors. The Queso Fundido was also excellent, topped with mozzarella, Mexican spicy sausage, oven-roasted potatoes, charred poblano peppers, and tomatillo sauce. It was flavorful and well-executed. Overall, both pizzas were creative, memorable, and absolutely worth trying. read more

Great variety of flavors. Love how you can get it by the slice (a decently large slice!). I do wish the crust was a little less baked so when they reheated it it wasnt as crispy. Overall would go back to try again. read more

Finally tried Sugo on their two-year anniversary. Loved the creative flavors of their Roman-style pizza! Slices range from $6.60-$8.50, with specials at $9. They cut each slice in half, which makes it perfect for sharing! We got four slices to share between two people, which was more than enough. My fave was the Japanese slice with porchetta, shiitake mushrooms, bonito flakes and miso kewpie mayo drizzle. The Killer Bee is another winner, with pepperoni, hot honey and Gorgonzola. While I like the Chorizo Al Pastor, it was a little on the spicy side for me (great if you like it hot). The Margherita was a little boring by comparison. Looking forward to seeing what other interesting flavors they develop! Limited seating indoors and outdoors. You can also order online (which is what I did). read more

Excellent fun pizza squares that captured imaginative flavor combinations with a delicious crispy crust. Food/Drink- 5 stars The pizza was excellent and we enjoyed every bite. I appreciated that they plated it in the order that it was best enjoyed -Japanese- this was good, but probably my least favorite slice. The kewpie mayo overwhelmed the other flavors, but luckily kewpie mayo is always good -Calebrese- this was my favorite slice. So balanced and flavorful -Chorizo Pastor- this was the most fun slice. A bit on the spicier and heavier side -Pera E Gorgonzola- thoroughly enjoyed this as the recommended last (dessert) pizza slice Service- 5 stars Service was fast and helpful. It's out of their control, but their doorway is on top of the sewer line, so a bit of a stink when you walk in. Bottom Line Incredible and fun pizza. I'll definitely be coming back read more

Sandro and the staff at Sugo are the sweetest! Earlier this month, I posted a 5 star review of me trying out Sugo for the first time and loving it, but mentioned that it was a bit of a wait on a Friday but the wait was totally understandable due to the dinner rush and it was truly worth the wait! Sandro, the owner, reached out to me in my messages and offered two free slices. We came back to try their limited edition Baby Boy and Yo Mama slices and got an additional Chorizo Al Pastor slice since that was our favorite last time. All of the slices were fresh and delicious! Amazing customer service from the Sugo team! read more

I've been coming to Sugo Pizza in Costa Mesa since they first opened, and at this point it's honestly become part of my routine. After getting a massage nearby, I almost always stop here because it's one of those places that just consistently hits the spot. My absolute favorites are the Pear Gorgonzola and the Chorizo pizza, both are so flavorful and unique in their own way. The Pear Gorgonzola has that perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the chorizo pizza always has such a good kick of flavor. What I also really appreciate is that they're always introducing new flavors and seasonal combinations, so there's usually something different to try while still keeping the "classics" I love. The atmosphere is chill, the staff has always been friendly, and the pizza is consistently good quality. Definitely one of my favorite pizza spots in Costa Mesa and a place I keep coming back to. read more

Sugo - New flavors! Baby Boy and Queso Fundido! - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Easily the best pizza in Orange County. This is more of a take-out than dine-in place, so sweatpants-it-up accordingly when getting your food. For my plant-based peeps, don't despair: there *is* a way to potentially veganize your order. My current obsession here is a fully veganized pie crowned with arugula, wild mushrooms, and roasted garlic -- a composition that feels both refined and indulgent. Sugo consistently executes thoughtful vegan adaptations (simply inquire), and the results justify the request every time. In Orange County, where truly elevated plant-based offerings can be elusive, discovering options that are not merely available but genuinely exceptional feels like a rare and welcome luxury. read more

Heard about this place on Instagram and Sugo did not disappoint. Delicious Roman-style pizza slices! They have a ton of choices in their display case. When you choose them and order, they cook them fully and they come up piping hot! The crust is nice and airy and chewy and crispy on the edges. If you haven't had Roman style (think pinsa style crust) then it's worth trying out here. The slices are big and cut in half, with hearty toppings. I ordered two slices and it was perfect to share with my partner. This place seems always busy but they tie around the orders fast. There are a few small tables inside, appropriate for a quick bite. Appreciate that they're open late, and there is parking right in front. Really convenient. read more

My friend and I came here on a Tuesday around 5 PM and there was only one group in front of us. The service was relatively fast and he was super friendly!! I got the Hawaiian and Rosa pizzas and they were super delicious. To be honest, I'm not a harsh pizza critic so good pizza is good pizza lol but the crust was so light with the perfect crisp and chew. This is the perfect casual yap spot and will def be back to try their other unique flavors! Ratings The Rosa: 5/5 The Hawaiian: 4.5/5 read more

Sugo - Hawaiian and Rosa - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The crust is nice and crispy without crossing into burnt territory and it has no flop. It's a solid base for their wide variety of creative toppings. Personally I think the pizza with the red sauce wins: Margherita: You really can't go wrong. The sauce has just the right amount of tanginess, which balances out perfectly with the cheese and fresh basil. Killer Bee: This one was a bit of a struggle. Between the heavy grease from the pepperoni and the hot honey, it gets messy. Also, if you aren't a Gorgonzola fan, this isn't the one for you. Japanese: Unfortunately, it was pretty dry. It's a cool concept, but it desperately needs unagi sauce and a much heavier drizzle of Kewpie mayo to bring it together. Pear: Much like the Japanese pizza, this one came out quite dry. I'd definitely come back, but the red sauce pizzas are the clear winners to me. read more

The pizza here is definitely on the pricey side, but it's also unique and so delicious. I have a small stomach, and two slices are more than enough for a full meal... honestly a little too filling, but it's so good you'll want to finish it anyway. Ordering online for pickup is easy, and the pizza slices are always warm and toasty. I've tried a few different slices, and my favorite by far is the Rosa (vodka sauce, purple onions, fresh basil, parmigiano). I've always been someone who loves lots of toppings on pizza, so it actually surprised me how much I love such a simple slice. That just speaks to how good the ingredients are (nothing extra is needed to mask the high quality ingredients of the dough and sauce). I realize the Rosa is a limited time slice (nooo!!) but I'm hoping they keep it around. The crust is unlike any pizza crust I've had before. It's not too thin, but it's chewy and flaky at the same time. I'm usually not a crust person and tend to not finish it, but this crust is so good I'll eat it even without sauce. Overall, it's definitely a splurge, but I'll happily come back once in a while when I'm in the mood for an expensive treat. read more

This place was amazing! It was our first time here and the man at the register was so sweet to explain all their pizzas and offerings. We ended up ordering a slice of the margherita and a slice of the killer bee. The pizzas are made to order, but they come out reasonably quickly! The pizzas were sooooo good. So full of flavor and the crust was amazingly crispy. Just thinking about it again is making me hungry, lol! I love that they have staples as well as rotating seasonal flavors. Inside, there's space for about 2-3 small parties, and outside there's a few tables. However, parking is limited in the small lot and can definitely be tough on evenings/weekends. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a bit now and fortunately, had the opportunity to try it! On a Tuesday around 2, it had a steady line. They only have certain ones available and I'm assuming you'd have to wait if the one you want is currently out. For example, we wanted to try the Rosa but it was currently out. You order your slices and then they warm it for you which took around 10 minutes. My sister and I ordered 2 different slices to share; the worker was kind and he split the slices for us too. We got one margherita slice and one Santa baby slice. The dough was crispy but not tough. We loved that it came out fresh and hot too. The tomato sauce was great, well balanced in its sweet, tangy and savory flavors. The mozzarella was mild and not too much. We just wished they put more basil. It was a great classic overall. The Santa baby is a limited time flavor but we liked it so much and wish they'd keep it on the menu! It was topped with a pistachio pesto, mushrooms and truffle oil. The truffle oil wasn't over the top, they put a good amount of mushrooms, and the pesto was pretty good (just a little too lemon-y). All of its flavors worked together so well! Slices are all at least $8 which is a little pricey. But if I happen to be craving pizza in the area, I'd be down to check it out again and maybe try something new! read more

In Costa Mesa for a conference and this pizza place was right around the corner. Walked in, placed my order and patiently waited for my pizza.

Sugo - Sounds delicious! One to-go please! - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

There is just something really special about Sugo. Yes, their pizzas are probably the best pizzas I've ever tasted. Yes, they have unique flavors and are cooked to perfection. Yes, their entire staff is so welcoming, and Michelin Chef Sandro Nardone is the most welcoming of all. Just those reasons alone are what helps makes this place such a gem. Hubbie and I came last night for early dinner. We came around 5, and luckily beat the long line. We ordered their carnivore, killer bee, Rosa slice, and Pera e Gorgonzola slice. Each so unique in their flavors, and each cooked so perfectly. The crust makes their pizza exceptionally delicious, and the ingredients all mix to form the perfect pizza. My favorite (though all SO good) would have to be Killer Bee. We also got to meet Chef Sandro! He was so kind, friendly and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised that he took his time to chat with us, and we even got to take a picture (thank you Chef Sandro!) At the end, they gave us a little gift. A keychain holder so we can save money for Sugo. It's always those little things that make such a huge difference. I will definitely be coming back frequently in the future. Thank you entire staff of Sugo! read more

It was my first time trying Sugo and it did not disappoint. I got the Killer Bee and Contadina slices as recommended by the worker and they were both so good! The Killer Bee had crispy pepperoni slices with hot honey drizzled all over. The Contadina had pieces of Italian sausage with a cream sauce. It's a pretty small shop with high seats so is probably better for takeout. Service was quick and efficient as well. read more

Parking: the plaza had plenty of parking when I stopped by at around 12:30 pm on a Monday! I could see parking be tough on a weekend since there's mainly two rows of parking and there are a few different establishments in the strip mall. The plaza is tucked away in a more discrete location right next to mitsuwa market. Service: the cashier taking my order was very kind. He was also very friendly and helped me to pick between carnivora and contadina so that was super helpful! Ambiance: the store was smaller and definitely more cozy. It was nicely decorated. There was some indoor seating (high top) and limited outdoor seating. Probably not a good spot for huge groups, but great for smaller groups. It's a casual dining spot. You order, pay, and then receive your food. There were some people who dined there and some people who placed take out orders. Food: all of the pizza slices are prepared with generous amounts of toppings. After you order, they bake it. So each pizza slice is baked fresh to order and takes around 7 minutes. Contadina slice (10/10)- the pizza slice was soo yummy, freshly baked out of the oven. The crust was perfection, thin and crispy without being too hard or too crispy. The crust stayed crispy as I ate the pizza. I loved the sautéed onions on this slice, it was the perfect touch. I love how they offer such a large variety of pizza slices with so many different toppings. Most importantly, the slices taste soo fresh. I love a good cheese pull from the slice. I wish they would bring back the truffle mushroom one-- I would've loved to try that. Can't wait to be back! read more

I know. I know it looks like just another good pizza place from the pics. I know it looks small and underwhelming. But trust me, this is no ordinary pizza. Sweet goodness! It's amazing! We were out here for an event. Got out late and we were starving. So I started my Yelp search because it's what we do. Everything good was pretty much closed. Fast food sounded unimaginable. Then I came across this little gem in the "open late" section. I'm not gonna lie, our group debated it. It's just another pizza place. But I being the foodie elitist that I am argued, great ratings, fancy toppings, fresh instead of fast??? Easy choice. I won. To Sugo went the caravan. Area wasn't great. But we were starving and decided to risk it all and eat pizza. Although it was late, a few people were eating inside and others waiting for to-go orders so our confidence was growing. If locals are here, it must be good. WOW! It was great! From the customer service to the pizzas, all amazing! Easy five star. The crust was crispy, dough was soft and chewy, and the toppings were delicious. Perfect amount of sauce with a flavor bomb in every bite. We almost cried. That's how good it was! High marks to the sweet girl at the counter who patiently helped us choose our pizzas. She was awesome! Even made us a dessert pizza. I didn't get her name but she knows who she is. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday around 5 PM, there was a short line, but the wait was only about 5-7 minutes. It's a fast-casual setup where you order and pay first, then they call your number. Seating is mostly outdoors with just a few tables available. They serve pizza by the slice (square-shaped, almost like flatbread), but you can also order a whole pie if you want. Not traditional but pretty cool concept! We tried the Japanese slice, which looked lighter and it was! The miso flavor and mushrooms were a perfect combo, and the crust was crisp on the outside yet soft and chewy inside, exactly how I like it. The only complaint I have: it's definitely pricey at $7.99 per slice, for the Japanese one. Still, it's a solid spot if you're in the mood for something a bit different and don't mind paying a premium for quality. read more

Sugo - Margherita pizza and XL Contadina - Pizza Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Sugo by Chef Sandro is, by far, the best pizza alla teglia you can find in Orange County. I was born and raised in Italy and moved to the United States about 20 years ago, so I can say with confidence that I know pizza. What Chef Sandro is doing here is truly special. From the traditional classics to the more creative options, every slice is outstanding. The real test for any pizzeria is the Margherita. If the Margherita is good, you know you can trust everything else on the menu--and here it's excellent. The dough is clearly the result of serious research and care: perfectly balanced between crunch and softness, light, and incredibly flavorful. The ingredients are always fresh and authentic, and the taste truly reminds me of Italy. At the same time, I appreciate how they sometimes introduce new combinations that subtly reflect the diverse tastes of Orange County, including influences that appeal to Mexican and Asian communities. It's a great example of respecting tradition while staying creative. The people working there are always kind, welcoming, and clearly proud of what they do. Love, love, love this place. read more

Sugo is a new pizza spot in Costa Mesa. This spot sits in a small plaza next to the Mitsuwa plaza. This spot is opened by Chef Sandro, known for Bello and Angelina's Pizzeria. I was curious to check it out after hearing so much about it from some coworkers. The shop is really small, not much inside seating. But the service is great! The people are friendly, and they really take the time to get to know you and make recommendations. I heard them even chatting with regulars! The food itself was pretty good. The pizzas are a solid texture for me, not too thick or thin. I do wish the pizzas had more sauce on them. I was hoping for a more refreshing tomato flavor on the margherita pizza. Overall, Sugo is a very solid pizza shop in OC! Come check out their unique flavors! read more

Sugo has some truly special pizza, and I love that I can try different flavor combinations by ordering by the slice. It's easy to order online for pickup, and the staff is friendly and the food is always ready by the time we arrive. There was a previously available pizza called the Ono, which was sort of their version of a Hawaiian slice with pineapple, Canadian bacon and Fresno chilies. I craved it with my entire being from the first time I tried it. So I was excited to try the Aloha slice, which is a spicier take on the concept. It was very good, but not as perfectly balanced as the Ono. Please Sugo, bring back the Ono! read more
