pizza was delicious and crust was amazing. Sauces were delicious. trio Italian was delicious. everything is so flavorful read more

we enjoyed our experience. we came for pasta: one puttanesca and one spaghetti with sausage links. delicious flavors along with the accompanying bread. the puttanesca is heavy on the anchovies. as someone reviewed previously the spaghetti sauce was watery but when brought to the chef's attention he fixed it right up! next night we got a large pizza with 3 toppings and a chicken parm sandwich. the pizza was great but the sandwich bread was not so good. a nice salad accompanied the sandwich that had very good chicken. we got this order to go and the sandwich plate had two sandwiches. i saved one for the next day but only ate the chicken. tasty. service is great! comfortable with highway view or secluded towards the rear. i would recommend coming here. servings are good size. both meals came to $50+ read more

What a find!! We were enjoying our friends band, 3 Chord Kings at Mother's Tavern, and got hungry. Across the alley about 40 feet from door to door is this Italian place. I asked a local in Mother's if it was any good, he replied "effing yes it's great". That was enough for me. In between sets we enjoyed pasta with spinach, mushrooms, and olives. I tried the Italian Trio. This is three small portions of Chicken Parm, Fettuccine Alfredo, and meat lasagna. Off the charts explains the meal. The service is great, and the vibe is small, local, beach cool. I can't give it 6 stars, but I would. We shall return for what we see is yummy looking pizza. Well done Sunset Pizza and Pasta! read more

Best Italian food I've had in the area. The marinara sauce is homemade with love and super fresh ingredients. The prices are a little high, but not for the quality and amount of food you get. It's family owned and it shows. It has very limited seating, but we saw tons of foot traffic picking up to go orders. Husband had a seafood combo in a white sauce and could not stop raving. read more

This place is a little hole in the wall - very small beach town vibe. Cute. Went with the hubby and a few friends. Friend ordered the veal (apparently last piece of it they had) but when it came, they had prepared the veal alla limone - not the way he'd ordered it - but we didn't say anything as we already knew it was the last piece of veal. He said it was "fine." My pasta had lots of great toppings like sun dried tomatoes, sausage, and olives but...all the toppings sunk to the bottom and the penne was flavorless unless I made sure to spear some toppings. My husband tried the spaghetti with meat sauce and it was so watery - again, nothing stuck to the pasta. The bottom of his bowl looked like light red water...a lot of it. Meh. My other friend said the pizza was good. She also had a salad which looked fine - nothing special. The bill for four people - no appetizers, no alcohol, no dessert? $121 + tip. So...not cheap. The quality did not live up to this price. I won't be back. read more

Very nice mom and pop shop really enjoyed everything that they had I love their vibe I love their service I love everything about it The coolest thing is that everyone so was so involved not even just a waitresses the cooks the salad people the whomever they were just everybody I mean you have people who are locally eating dinner and also picking up big family meals to go You really got to give it to them I think they did an excellent job I told my wife and kids about them whenever we're in the area we got to come here read more

Sunset Pizza & Pasta - Scampi linguine with a cream style garlic sauce delicious - Pizza Near Me - Sunset Beach, California

I was craving pizza after getting stung by a stingray twice at the nearby beach and we ended up coming here. The service was amazing and the ambiance made me feel right at home. The employees were super kind and even helped me with remedies for the sting pain. Overall, everyone was friendly and the food was delicious. We got the pesto and BBQ chicken pizza and both were great. read more

This time the pizza wasn't as good. We should have asked for extra sauce. We ended up getting a side of marinara, but that wasn't that great either. If anything we should have gotten an extra side of pizza sauce even though it might not have been hot. read more

Awesome food and service! It's a small nice place. Very cozy and homey. The pizza is good and is also my son's favorite

We loved the food here so delicious! And for my daughter's birthday they brought her ice cream and lit a candle it was so thoughtful she felt so special ! We will be back for sure read more

Food was amazing and so fresh! Service was great and the ambiance was nice! We will definitely be back very soon!!

For a PCH pizza place, pretty good. They might have their own"sweet spot" for pizza/italian food... Rates a 6.4 on the Portnoy Barstool pizza scale... read more

MUST TRY!! I came here once on a whim- now it's a true favorite. Beautiful atmosphere (right by the beach), the most attentive and hard-working staff, and an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work. The food is fantastic, especially anything with their pesto and the menu has so many delicious pastas and pizzas to choose from. The salads are super fresh. The caesar dressing and vinaigrette are both exceptional. They serve warm house made garlic bread that's absolutely delicious! This place never disappoints. read more

Looking for great pizza and pasta in the Huntington Beach area? This is the place! Incredible food at a very reasonable price. The owners are the cooks, so you know the food is going to be top notch. Family-owned feel, quaint and welcoming environment. Staff was extremely friendly, and service was above and beyond! Right on the PCH, and Sunset Beach. My recommendations for orders (no particular order): (1) Margherita Pizza (2) The Sunset Pizza (3) Trio Italiano -which includes the most delicious, breaded chicken parmigiana, homemade lasagna and creamy fettuccini alfredo that is to die for! We live 800 miles away but always see to it that we visit Sunset Pizza whenever we are in CA- worth the drive!!!! You won't regret it. Just remember - they are closed every Tuesday. read more

What a rare place this is... Has that small mom n pop feel to it, feels warm and welcoming without all the flash and glamour of today's corporate food chains. The walls aren't covered in Frank Sinatra photos trying to convince you how Italian it is. The chef cooks the food right there in front of you on a burner that's seen a million plates of pasta. A splash of this a pinch of that a few stirs here a few stirs there all while slicing and dicing onions and tomatoes like clockwork. Not a measuring cup or automated cookware in sight. Just a man, a knife and spoon. I highly recommend this place for a nice quiet dinner or relaxing date night. read more

My wife and I stopped in for an early dinner the other day. This is actually the place where we had our first date so many years ago. Not too many things have changed in the year since. The food is still as good as ever, and the seating is as small and cramped as ever, we had traffic service! Young lady took great care of us. For starters we open with their toasted ravioli and an adult beverage. They were OK, never having them before. My wife and I split a small carnivore pizza. It was a little greasy. But that said delicious. read more

Osvaldo's service was great! The bbq chicken pizza and their bread was amazing! Accommodated to our group.

We recently moved back to SoCal. A good local secret. This has been our go to pizza for more than a decade, even when we retired north to Sonora, CA, we would return for dinner when checking on our local rentals. The food is very good, the best hot bread for dipping Vino/oil up front in OC, great friendly service, a small room with one large booth, numerous tables and a counter bar w/ five stools where one can watch the chefgs prepare your meal while enjoying the hot bread. Be sure to check out the suggestions on the chalkboard above the booth. Parking is limited but usually plenty of parking along PCH and 1 very short block behind the restaurant. I happened to mention the hot bread to a waiter at another Italian restaurant nearby, who served us a couple of cold breads with frozen butter. He chuckled and replied, "I know, I have one of their Tshirts." e-nuf said. Kenneth Smith read more

Sunset Pizza & Pasta - Mozzarella Parmigiana - Pizza Near Me - Sunset Beach, California

Amazing restaurant and food. Super friendly staff and great service. Delicious fresh ingredients.

We went on Sunday night, it was crowded, but the waitresses were so attentive and apologetic about the wait, they even bought us an appetizer. The food was good, the good old standards (eggplant parm, pizza and chicken with capers) The bread was delicious (crispy yet soft) The restaurant kitchen is open and it is a bit noisy with all the commotion, but it's a great place for a good wholesome Italian meal. read more

Thin crust pizza cooked longer to make it crispy, chefs kiss! Tiny hole in the wall. Quick service.

We were looking to get Italian food after taking our family photos in sunset beach. We decided to try this spot, we have been here before but just got pizza for take out. I tried the penne Al pimento and my husband got the tortellini Rosato. It was good but I felt like my pasta lacked some flavor and my husbands rosato sauce had a unique flavor we weren't fond of. The restaurant is super tiny with barely any room to move. But it seemed like they had a lot of regulars there. So that's always a good sign! Not sure that we would go back. read more

Was greeted immediately with smiles everything need to order food with fresh delicious atmosphere amazing highly recommend. read more

Hubby and I wanted to eat Italian food while we were camping at Bolsa Chica State Beach. I'm so glad we found Sunset Pizza and Pasta! The food is fantastic! I had Spinach Penne and it was delicious! The mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes made this dish unforgettable. Hubby had the meat lasagne. He said it was the best he has ever had! The service is friendly and prompt. We will be back for sure!!! read more

A friend of mine took me there and I had a pepperoni pizza it was awesome. The service was outstanding and the gal who served us was a very friendly soul. It's a warm place and it gets warmer with hospitable staff working there. Shoutout to Emilia she is great, if you happen to be there ask for Emilia. In all, it's a great place to have food and on my next visit, I'm gonna try penna pasta with pesto sauce. Keep up the quality of food & service!! read more

Sunset Pizza is my favorite nearby Italian restaurant! Hector and his staff are so welcoming & friendly!

This place is so bomb definitely recommend it if you're a lover of Italian food The staff is so sweet and friendly. Best lil spot in town

We ordered a to go pizza and pasta. It came with bread which was a bonus we didn't know we needed plus the girls working gave us ample Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. The margarita pizza was literally insane and I want to live there for it. We got a pasta and we didn't love it as much just because of the way the sauce sat on top so we didn't have any flavor except there and mixing wasn't super easy in the box. We devoured a plain cheesecake in seconds. Inside was cutie and small with a family feel. Love her. Miss her. read more

This place is a wonderful hole in the wall. It's on PCH in Sunset Beach. The staff is extremely nice and I have picked up lots of catered food from there. As well as having eaten there. If you walk in you think I'm not sure about this place. But the food is delicious and it's a fun little atmosphere. read more
