    This pizza is supposed to be a Double Dough pizza with Mozzarella, Pearl Mozarella, and double chicken. Poorly made pizza.
    Yiotis T.

    Came in tonight to order two pizzas. One for me and one for my wife. Got a reg BBQ, chicken, bacon and a regular Double Dough cheese, fresh Mozzarella and double chicken. The pizza maker was attentive, friendly, but lacked attention to detail as you can see by the picture. The second pizza is not double doughand certainly not double chicken. It's as if the person did not know how to do a double dough crust. It was like eating a cracker pizza. So sad. Moving on to the end, the finishing the pizza was oblivious as to what was asked. I told him 4 times to do a BBQ drizzle, only to have the person load the pizza in the boxes and then ask again if I wanted any additional toppings. It's as if the person did not want to go to the other side to get the BBQ sauce. I also got a deep dish cookie with the ice cream on the side to go. If a team member did not tell the person to put the ice cream in a plastic to go container, he was going to put it next to the cookie in a paper carton. I had to explain that the previous times I've ordered the deep dish cookie, they put it in a half pizza box to keep it warm and covered. He seemed puzzled, but did as I requested. Obviously we still be going back to this location since its close, but hopefully this review will reach management so they can look into quality control. There are team members that are true pizza masterpiece makers. It's just too bad they can't make the pizza all the time.

    Immediately greeted by the sweetest gal behind the counter today AND she brought our pizzas to the table when they were ready, amazing customer service! She was definitely 5/5 stars. If you don't like thin crust pizza, which is their standard, i recommend asking for thick crust. While enjoying my pizza, I noticed the TV had Fox News on....

    Overall: A nice go to pizza spot and yummy! Got a white sauce based pizza and it was really good. Freshly made and a good portion too. Decently priced, especially with a student discount! Service: Really nice staff and pizza came out quickly. Ambiance: Clean and modern with plenty of seating options.

    The Chronicle. on Cauliflower

    This cute little pizza spot is located in Woodbridge Village Center, at one end of North Lake in Irvine, California. We walked here, along the lake, while staying with my sister, as Irvine is a beautiful, walkable city. The thing that stands out to me about this location is the excellent service. We were a large group and disorganized. I've never been here before. Our server was extra helpful and took the time out to explain everything on a busy Friday night. They have great gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. We chose to order two The Chronicle. Extra large pizzas on cauliflower crust, and two salads. As the pizzas roll through the heating element and come out, you are met with them at the cash register on the other side. Here the server asks if you'd like shredded basil and pesto sauce to top off your pizzas. We chose fresh basil, and it was very good. The pizzas are sliced and placed into boxes and given to you. There are paper plates and disposable utensils near the beverage station. There's plenty of seating inside at tables and there's an enclosed patio outside if that gives you a view to the Woodbridge common area and playground. I thought our pizza was amazing and delicious. The crust was nice and crunchy and the pizza had toppings I loved, including artichoke hearts. Everything tasted really well together. It was a lovely dinner and evening spent on the patio with family. The nice thing about this location is the several other food spots within feet of this pizza place. We went around the corner and got some frozen yogurt after dinner for our walk home.

    Founded in 2012 and with locations nationwide, The Pizza Press wants you to "be newsworthy" by creating your own custom pizza/wings or selecting a signature pizza/salad and pairing with one of the many craft beers on tap. The restaurant theme is inspired by 1920s Americana newspaper which explains why their signature pizzas have names like "The Times" and "The Tribune". We visited the Woodbridge location off Barranca Parkway for dinner after catching a movie at the AMC next door. The restaurant was busy and looked to be popular among local teenagers and families. There's also a playground conveniently located outside. We ordered the Publish Your Own (PYO) Pizza and topped it with fresh and premium ingredients like spicy red sauce, minced garlic, mozzarella, pepperoni, smoked ham, bacon, meatballs, mushrooms and jalapeños. Service was friendly and efficient. If you're a fan of the 'build your own pizza' concept and you've never been before, then it's time to check out The Pizza Press!

    The Times.^

    We walked in on a whim while waiting for friends to finish a movie at the AMC next door and we are so happy we did. The place was cute, they had a couple of booths and lots of table to sit. We order a regular cheese and "The Times" specialty pizza. It was so good and fresh. We could stop saying how good it was. We also order bbq bone in wings and they were the right amount of crisp and juiciness. The service was great and the staff was very helpful. Not sure why they have 3 stars. They are great!

    Customer service was really good during the Pi Day sale. The line was so long but the workers remained efficient, patient, and nice. Pizza tasted great! I love that Pizza Press offers a pink sauce base, one of the main reasons why I like this chain over the other build your own pizzas.

    Food: This was one of my favorite spots to go to for lunch or to cater from during college!…read moreMendocino's sandwiches are amazing, especially their Not So Fried Chicken, Vegan Banh Mi, and Happy Hippie! I've heard the Peruvian Steak, Prosciutto, and Chicken are good too! My only feedback with the Happy Hippie is that there is slightly too much filling, so it falls when you are eating the sandwich. Each of their sandwiches comes with two halves and is filling and satisfying. They also use fresh, vibrant vegetables, and a store associate told me their bread is baked fresh every day! Service: The service here is half the reason I come! A lovely store associate will guide you when ordering, and they will bring the food right to you! When they bring the food, there are two napkins on the tray. If they see you carrying your tray after you are finished eating, they will also offer to take it for you! Although the sandwich prices are slightly premium, you are paying for their healthy ingredients and exceptional service! Ambiance: This restaurant is spacious with many tables on the inside and outside! Their bathrooms are also really clean and well kept! Please go here for a healthy, non-bloating meal when you're in the area!

    Tough call... This is my favorite Mendocino Farms location…read moreout of at least five I have been to around Orange County. The problem with this sandwich chain is one and only: They have a huge issue with quality consistency. Ask their managers and they will tell you that the portions and sandwiche ingredients are strictly measured, but as a customer you know that's not the case. You go to some places and get these tiny sandwiches with two slices of bread and barely any ingredients in between. The Tustin location, located in Whole Foods has been the worst offender at this by far. Now this Campus Drive location has been creating the best, most generous, consistent sandwiches. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen every time still. It all depends on who you get as you cook on that day, crafting your sandwich. Some day sandwiches that get to the table are juicy and enjoyable, and sometimes, they come out to be disappointedly small, with minimum amount of ingredients. I had to complain to the manager a couple of times, but it doesn't help. Every time I come here, I pray to get the right chef who will make my sandwich well. Absolutely hate being at their mercy.
