Cut the pizza, put it in the box, close the lid, pass it to your customer. I don't know how hard it is but the guy behind the counter was cutting it, turning around talking sh*t for a few minutes, throwing the pizza into the box, leaving the pizza box lid open and then walking away! Come on! I don't think I deserve that kind of service. I did not forget to tip you! Why did you give me attitude like that?! BTW, look at his fantastic work. Wrong sauce with perfect packing skill. What a surprise! read more

The Pizza Press - Salad Near Me - Irvine, California

I'm a regular here and have my picture up on the wall. I even have one of their commemorative refillable XL growlers for when I want a beer (incredible selection btw). The whole crew is great. Elle, Gracie, Rachel and Kyle are all so nice and funny. The pizza is consistently good and the whole family loves it. I have made the mistake of going to a different pizza press location and they didn't have my favorite topping. Never again. Ride or die - Pizza Press - Woodbridge Village Center 4EVA!!!

No good anymore. I told them I want half pizza, then they combined the cookies and drinks without letting me know until check out.It turns out that I spent more than the whole pizza for half one. So bad read more

Train your employee how to treat customers in a proper manner. My high school daughter went to order pizza today and the employee who took the order gave my child an attitude and a bad service. All customers should be treated equally with common sense and respect. read more

Horrible customer service, attitude from the staff. I waited for my pizzas to come out of the oven and the staff was assisting other customers at the back of the line, I was gonna wait till they were done because I'm not a Karen but my pizza began to lift over the edge at the end of the conveyor belt and start to go off the edge. So I said "excuse me, my pizza is about to fall on the floor" and the lady came over and said "it's fine it's not going to fall" and proceeded to box my pizzas, I said " oh, ok It looked like it so I was worried, if you want to finish with the other people first I can wait!" She ignores me and says " anything besides your sides of ranch?" I said no and left. Get home to find I was charged for 4 sides of ranch when I only asked for one, and they gave me 0! That's almost a $5 over charge! I was gonna call and ask for my money back but guess what? Phone number is out of service . Will not be returning to the location. read more

Ordered a pizza at 8:30pm. Got a text at 8:51pm that it had been delivered. It had not. Called multiple times and no one answered. Now, they're closed and they owe me both my $26 and my fucking dinner. I'm starving and I was depending on them. read more

So disappointing! There was no cheese on our pepperoni pizza. No arugula on our other pizza and no red sauce for our garlic bread. It was obvious that the pizza was just thrown together haphazardly. I knew something seemed odd when I was messaged about 15 mins after ordering that the order was done & on its way. I def won't be going here again! read more

Alex and Roberto provided excellent customer service , prepared my pizza just as I requested without any extra charge or hesitation and here they make a high quality delicious pizza really , also fast service and quick to make customers happy here , try the cheese pizza with basil it's the best ! read more

Each time my running group comes here, we all have a great time! All the employees are really friendly and the manager is super cool. Thanks you guys! See ya soon! read more

I was at Pizza Press the other day. They made nine phone order pizzas while I was waiting at least a half hour to order. Two people were working. Why couldn't one person make my one pizza. Or why couldn't they work my one Pizza in. The Person was not even in the Restaurant to pick up their order. read more

Came to Pizza Press for lunch to get pizza for my kids. There were 2 staff there working. One on cashier and the other making what was obviously a huge online order. There were 7-8 pizzas sitting there, not even yet baked, and she looked up and said " be with you in a minute." As I waited, she kept making more pizzas, tapping on her phone (which had the online order she was making), and after about 5 mins, and 2 more pizzas had been constructed , I asked her how much longer she thinks it would be before I could place my order . She said that it would be at least 10 more mins ... so my pizza wouldn't have even been constructed for 15 mins .... They were busy which is fine.... And that's not their fault. Poor experience though because : 1) 2 staff in the whole restaurant at lunch time? 2) if it's going to be 15 mins before my order can even be placed , the staff shouldn't say "be with you in a minute." Id rather hear that there's a huge order it will be about XX mins.... so I know to go elsewhere read more

Trust their bad service reviews. If you don't have your receipt, they will not let you use the restroom. Even if they remember you just ordered and finished eating. They were rude and mocked whether I wanted men's or women's. A whole scene because their policy is that customers must read their receipt for the restroom code, they will not share it otherwise. In the end there was an argument and I was not allowed the restroom!! read more

They did a wonderful job for a group gathering we loosely planned for our daughter's friends visiting from the South Bay! We gave them a heads up a week prior for needing 7 pizzas, cheesy garlic bread, a salad, 15 cookies, and even mentioned preferring to keep everyone on the private patio. They had everything ready by the time we arrived with 12 hungry 3-5 year olds and parents after an afternoon at Pretend City. The quality is fantastic, thin chewy crispy crust that's reminiscent of NY pizza. They had a "Reserved" sign on the patio with all the tables moved together for us including the high chair I mentioned I'd needed. They were a bit short handed that afternoon, so we had to ask for the salad and cookies, but they even gave us an extra free caprese salad for our group! They were so friendly. Everything was nice and hot. The men's bathroom was gross per my husband (poo on the seat) so the moms had to take the kids to the women's clean bathroom. Overall we were really happy. They don't "hold" parties, so they were quite accommodating and gracious. We now have a soft spot for The Pizza Press in our hearts, as our get together was like a reunion for our dear friends. We will definitely be coming back as semi regulars when we make our trips to Pretend City! read more

Rachel greeted us upon our arrival and was exceptionally friendly! The pizza turned out amazing and the ambiance was conducive to good conversation. Thank you! read more

pretty delicious even though I am personally more into Mod and Blaze pizza. Although their garlic cheese bread was amazing and I would come back for more read more

Extremely dirty bathrooms, no toilet paper and broken toilets. Total disappointment. The food was okay but nothing extraordinary. would not recommend this place because of lack of hygiene. read more

The Pizza Press - Mice running around in the patio! - Salad Near Me - Irvine, California

I don't think I've ever had a bad pizza from here. My husband and I order from here pretty often. I always get gluten free (allergy) and I noticed the review before mine saying theirs was soggy... yes that usually is the case with a cauliflower crust (especially if you get lots of toppings like me lol). I always ask for them to push my pizza back so it cooks longer and I haven't had an issue with it being soggy. I love a crispy thin crust pizza! Service is always good, the employees are usually friendly and make good small talk. Worth trying if you're wanting pizza! read more

Straight up attitude from the cashier. He rang up our pizzas as they were being cooked. Once they were finished, he took a look over at them and asked if that was vegan cheese on my pizza. I confirmed. In a very condescending tone, he said: "Next time you have to let me know before you pay because vegan cheese is $1 extra." I replied: "Oh sorry, I didn't know. I can pay the extra dollar right now." He responded with more attitude stating that he'll let it go since he couldn't ring up the charge for just vegan cheese. Since he was being so mean about it, I insisted he take the extra dollar. So he huffed "Just put it in the tip jar." I'm sorry, what??? I'm not going to leave a tip for someone who is being disrespectful to a customer!!! Why should he get to pocket that dollar??? He absolutely DID NOT deserve a tip from me!!! I was livid!!! Though this was my first time at this Irvine location, I've been to Pizza Press in Long Beach where I was able to pay an upgrade for a gluten-free crust on a pizza. Let me say that again...the cashier in Long Beach rang me up for JUST gluten-free crust. So I'm really not sure why the cashier in Irvine was having such a fit about me paying for vegan cheese. Perhaps expecting the customers to know YOUR system of payment is a little self-centered. Maybe a bit more polite guidance next time??? Not to compare Pizza Press with other chains but at places like Blaze Pizza, they write VEGAN in big bold letters on the paper under your pizza so that by the time it gets to the cashier, they know how to ring you up. Also, Blaze Pizza stopped charging extra for vegan cheese a long time ago so it didn't occur to me that it might cost extra at Pizza Press. I would've happily paid the extra dollar! I'm not a dishonest person. Extremely heated after this experience. read more

The pizza tastes fresh, and the service is super convenient. We usually get the Herald after waking around the lakes.

3.5 stars. I'm loving all of these build-your-own pizza places and Pizza Press is no different. Pretty much the same as Pieology, Blaze, Mod etc, just variations in the toppings offered and slight differences in the price. At Pizza Press, it's $9 a pizza, but they were recently running a facebook bogo promotion, which made it a super good deal. I'm no pizza expert so I can't really tell you what sets Pizza Press apart from its competitors, but I can say that I love the option to top my pizza with arugula and balsamic glaze after it's done baking. I'm also a fan of their pizza dough. Everything tastes very fresh. I do agree with other Yelpers who said their service is a bit on the slow side. I can't imagine how they would handle the lines I've seen at Pieology. However, every time I've gone, it's been pretty empty and I've always been first in line so it's been okay. Located in the Woodbridge village plaza near the Woodbridge movie theatre. There's also Yogurtland and Cha for Tea in the same plaza. Huge parking lot. read more

The Pizza Press - Build-your-own ($9) - Salad Near Me - Irvine, California

Employees are rude. No manager to manage the store and employees. you have to show them your receipt to use the restroom.

Last Saturday I went to this place for two pizzas. My wife instructed me to buy a Hawain and a Margarita. Sadly, as soon as I opened my mouth the young Bruce Lee-like (bodybuilder) cashier on duty aggressively started to reject my request in the rudest manner possible. In the end, I opted for being tolerant and placed my order as per their specifications on the visible board in front of me. Nonetheless, the young man's apprehensive hostile behavior continued until a young assistant witnessing the incident politely came to my rescue. After that sour experience, I am still trying to understand the reasons behind the aggressive and savage attitude of this young man that day; and I am wondering if it was just because of my seniority as a 70 years old man sometimes unable to express myself or it just was because of my DARK skin African-American ethnicity. read more

Came in last night on the 3rd seemed like they were closing it was my first time here. Usally when i come into store late at night all the staff is usally very lazy and seem like they just want to leave. Didn't catch his name but the guy who made my pizza was very welcoming i wasen't sure what to order as i am first timer and he told me to try the tribune and the hearld which me and 2 of my buddies demolished as they were so good. Would defnitly give this place a go and will be coming back for sure. Staff is also super nice and treat you like family will come here soon. read more

Food was just fair but they are certainly overpriced for what you get. The wings were not worth what we paid for.

The have cauliflower crust! You can eat pizza while being on keto! Woah! That's awesome! My pizza was savory and delish, the deep dish cookie dessert was soooooooooo good . Yummy yummy yummy It's a great space to get some work done too! read more

The Pizza Press - Very comfy seating - Salad Near Me - Irvine, California

You're kidding me right?! $42 for a side salad, tiny personal size cheese pizza and 6 wings (that were flabby and chewy)... I must've ordered the wrong items cause this place wasn't very good whatsoever. I'm shocked they're still in business. Very nice employees though. read more

Update: I decided to give Pizza Press another chance. Pizza press opens at 11am. I placed my order online at 11:05. My email receipt stated my order would be ready at 11:20. I arrived at 11:20 and the doors were locked. I called inside and they said "hang on, we are working on a food order and will open the door in just a minute." Then someone unlocks the door and walks away- no acknowledgement of me or apology for the doors being locked 20 minutes after open. I go to the counter and let them know I am here for my pickup order. They said they were working on another order that came in before mine and it would be another 10-15 minutes. This happened AGAIN! All o ordered was 1 cheese pizza. What is wrong with this establishment? You need to fix your online pickup times. read more

One of best pizzas I've had. Would recommend over piology. The thin crust with cheese, pepperoni, mushroom, and arugula was excellent. The bread tasted well and didn't overwhelm the ingredients. read more

This was a dissapointment. The toppings were fresh, but the crust was under cooked, and frankly, pressing the heck out of a crust doesn't make for good crust. Also, there was no iced tea, but they didn't have a sign on it saying so. The diet coke came out watery. When I mentioned this, they managed to fix the iced tea. Finally, there was one table dedicated to the workers that was a mess. There was an off shift worker just sitting there watching her phone with the table covered in food from other restaurants. Good potential, poor execution. read more

Better version of pieology/MOD. Crust and dough is better, ingredients are fresher, just overall tastes better. Generous with the meat portions. Sits better in my stomach than the competitors too. Minus a star because the ricotta cheese is all the way at the end of the line with the vegetables. This means when they ask for cheese and you say ricotta, they say they will get it at the end. Except they forget. We came at a decently busy time, ordered 3 pizzas with ricotta, only 1 ended up having ricotta. The other 2 were forgotten. I don't get why ricotta is all the way at the end and far away from the rest of the cheeses. When it's busy and the employees are stressed, it makes it easy to forget. read more

The pizzas are custom made. I love how they did newspaper style. They 'press' and par-bake the dough and they have prefix menus (rough translation in parentheses)- the Press (cheese), the Daily (cheese & one topping), the Sun (Hawaiian), the Herald (chicken Alfredo), the Chronicle (vegetarian), the Times (BBQ chicken), the Tribune (pepperoni & Italian sausage) and Publish Your Own. From interior to the employee uniform, everything has to do with newspaper. We had a very enjoyable dinner. Will definitely be back! read more

Of all the build-it-yourself pizza joints, I think Pizza Press takes first place. The fad of making your own pizza follows in the footsteps of Subway and Chipotle with building your own fill-in-the-blank. It's a nice way of customizing your meal but can be quite time consuming. I thought the quality of toppings and dough are better than the competition. The base of the pizza is important so that you can hold the toppings especially if it's top heavy. With that said, I created my own pizza so that it was guilt free. Mostly greens and lighter options. It was a bit of a wait given it was opening day but well worth the wait. I was hanging out with friends in line and enjoying their company so the time flew by. I will definitely be back! read more

WOW!!!! It's been a while since I came back to the pizza press. I'm always so happy to be back. Everyone here is so nice and sweet. I know at times it can be busy, but all the employees here are so sweet. I love how they are always prepared and detailed when explaining their menu. I didn't catch their names, but this guy and two girls were so polite. I think it was Kathleen or Alex. As always, this place is always clean, and the workers are on top of everything. I'll be coming back, FOR SURE. Especially to try out that lunch special. I'm always in need of something quick and delicious for my lunch at work. read more

The best thing about this place is the staff! We had a party of 130 people (65 adults + 65 kids) and the staff at this location came through with 60 pizzas flawlessly. The General Manager (Jason) and the manager on the day of the event (Anthony) ensured all our pizzas were ready in time after we watched a movie at the next door AMC Classic theater. Although Jason was supposed to have the day off, I was surprised to see him on they day of our event helping his team prepare all the pizzas (what a great leader). Since we were hosting our son's birthday party in the Woodbridge Village, the staff was especially helpful getting all the pizzas set up outside. On top of the awesome staff, the food (and beer tap selection) are great. This place is new to Woodbridge and is a great place to eat and hangout. Our family will definitely be coming here on a regular basis. read more

I thought I had a review for this place before. If I had left a review before it would have been 5 stars even though it is slow because the pizza dough was great and the ingredients. When I checked in today and saw it was like 3 stars now, I was in disbelief and attributed it to probably being just the service being slow (which is fine even though it is slow) but after eating here, I see now why. The quality of everything just dropped drastically. The ingredients they were all mushed and I was hoping it was just appearance, but after tasting it, it tasted bad, too. The artichoke hearts, chicken looked like mashed potatoes. The service wasn't as great as it was before. read more

I love this place is so delicious! I always do a build your own, it's reasonably priced, fresh ingredients, and the cookies are also really yummy. read more

I love that this place is open late, makes for a perfect late night meal. Service was quick and portions (aka toppings) were generous. There was a decent amount of people behind us and the staff seemed well-equipped to get us through the line. I always put on a lot of toppings, so I appreciate staff patience as I list everything I want. Highly recommend for a fresh customizable pizza at a fair price. read more

Yummy pizza. I really enjoyed The Tribune which is their version of a supreme pizza (I topped mine with basil). Fresh quality ingredients and perfectly baked. I also enjoyed my beer flight. I can't remember which ones I chose but they were all refreshing and complimented my pizza. The service was good. I noticed some reviewers complained about the wait time. It didn't take that long for our food. Perhaps 10 minutes. The pizza has to cook, right? Will come back. read more
