    Delicious pizza
    Eva C.

    We love this Pizza Press!!! It is the only pizza my kids will actually eat since they make it perfect. My kids are a little picky so it's nice that they customize it to exactly what they want. The staff is great too! My girls favorite pizza maker is JACK!!!! He always makes the pizza perfect and is super friendly and always remembers us!! my girls are always happy when Jack is working!!

    Going to school in Orange, Pizza Press was and has been a staple of mine for years now. My go-to is the garlic cheesy bread with their house ranch, but the build-your-own or signature pizzas are fantastic too. You really can't go wrong. The cheesy bread is simple, delicious, and most importantly, affordable -- what more could you want in college? There are lots of great places to eat in the circle, but Pizza Press will always have my heart.

    The kids were starving so we ducked into this quant pizza place. We ordered them half cheese and half pepperoni because you know kids and that what they love. This place has a great lunch special and atmosphere. The pizza was delicious! The kids barely let me take a picture and a bit before devouring it.the crust was thin and not too crispy, with real cheese! So happy we found this place.

    Employee at Pizza Press
    Debra N.

    Pizza Press employee Oscar verbally abused my elderly father. He yelled at him and told him he was wrong. For context, Pizza Press Marketing Director introduced himself to my father and I. He was excited to tell us about the BOGO offer they were doing for the day. Marketing director we thank you for your hospitality. Marketing director leaves and Oscar comes out with violent intimating behavior. Father orders his pizza and shares his excitement for the BOGO offer. Oscar yells there is no BOGO offer. Another employee eventually makes the pizzas. Time to pay and Oscar made it clear we did not exist. But we wanted to pay, leave with our pizzas, and forget about getting yelled at. But the abuse and intimidation continued. Pizza Press others on yelp have warned you about Oscars behavior. Thank you other Yelpers for sharing about Oscar's mistreatment towards you. And if you're reading this and unfortunately have been mistreated by him I'm sorry. PLEASE Pizza Press please prevent this from happening to anyone else. This community here on yelp have made you, Pizza Press aware of his abusive behavior. You continue to allow this employee to treat people this way. Unethical business.

    Couldn't wait to take a picture first; had to enjoy a freshly baked hot bite!

    I absolutely love this location! I was first introduced to Pizza Press in Pasadena, and after trying both the Anaheim and Orange locations, the Orange Circle location is hands down my favorite. The food is always great, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff really make the place stand out. Every time I've come in and Jack is working, he's been awesome. He always has great recommendations, checks in to make sure everything is good without being overbearing, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. It's the kind of service that keeps you coming back. I also love hanging out here when I have some work to do. It's a great place to grab a cold beer, enjoy a pizza, and get a little work done without feeling rushed. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or planning to stay awhile, this location just has a great vibe. Highly recommend!

    The Tribune. No olives, add arugula
    Catherine S.

    I got the Tribune (no olives, add arugula). It was good and the guy making the person was nice. He made sure I was happy before sending down the oven line. Boneless wings were okay. The buffalo sauce was good but the wings were soggy and generic. You could find better elsewhere. The space wasn't dirty, but it wasn't super clean for 8:30pm. I would have expected it to be a little cleaner well after the dinner rush Heads up on pricing. I get that everything expensive but $45 for 2 pizzas and 6 piece boneless wings...woof!

    Journal with mushrooms, olives and sausage
    Richard W.

    There's two sizes - regular or XL. Regular size was more than enough for one average person. Like most pizza places, they have combo suggestions or you can create your own. There's also an option called the Journal where you get cheese and tomato sauce +3 toppings, which ends up to be about a dollar cheaper than the create your own option which has unlimited toppings. You also get an unlimited amount of "finishings" after your pizza is made. This includes basil, cilantro, Italian seasoning, hot sauce, etc. The ingredients are super fresh, but I thought the crust could have been crispier. In hindsight, I would have also asked for a little less cheese. I also prefer crumbly spicier Italian sausage but their version is sliced and mild. They have a nice set of beer on tap with varying Abv's as well. That's all.

    Chairs clearly never cleaned.

    It's been a while since I've been to Pizza Press and I was really looking forward to it. I went today Sunday, Jan 18 around 1:00 P.M. I will say the gentlemen who made my pizza was very nice, but the guy working the register was literally just a body. I had to ask a few times for things and you can tell that he did not want to be there. The place is absolutely filthy! Filthy is using a nice word. The place is extremely dirty and with dust all over. Don't believe me? Look for yourself when you walk in. All the wood, the pizza oven close to the glass, the signage hanging and lights. Our table was also extremely dirty. This place needs a major deep cleaning. Not sure how the city has not done anything about it.

    This place was actually so much better than I expected!! The inside is so cute and family friendly, plus spacious! There is a variety of toppings and sauces, I tried the spicy pizza sauce with many veggie toppings, and it was so yummy! The service is very fast and friendly! I did feel bed for the workers because they had to clean up some drunk guys barf in the middle of the restaurant, but they took care of it as soon as it was brought to their attention! Thanks Pizza Press!

    Pineapple cream cider
    Raven R.

    Came here for dinner. The place was quite busy but the staff handled it pretty well. They were nice and offered suggestions on their cider selection. We got the pineapple cream cider for drinks, a customized pizza with pepperoni, mushroom, and olives, garlic cheese bread, and lemon pepper wings. Pineapple cream cider- Refreshing and fruity. The pineapple flavor carries through with just the right amount of sweetness. It has a finish that reminds me of creamsicles. Pepperoni, olive, and mushroom pizza- The crust is to die for! They also give a good amount of cheese. The toppings were good but they could have done a better job of spreading it evenly. Garlic cheese bread- I cannot rave about their base crust enough. Great flavor and perfectly crisp around the edges. The cheese was melty and you can taste the garlic quite well. Lemon pepper wings- I was disappointed with this dish. The exterior had a rubbery texture and didn't carry the flavor that it should, we probably didn't get enough of the lemon pepper seasoning. I enjoyed the meal overall, but improvements could be made.

    First time here and loved everything about it…read more First of all, General Manager Jessica is suuuper nice and friendly. She greeted us with great energy, making small talks. Told us everything is made in-house, even the sauces! That's really good to know and makes me feel better about the food. She even gave me a free delicious cookie for being a first timer! And she comes around from time to time to check on us to make sure we're enjoying our food. Really nice to receive this kind of attention from a fast-casual restaurant. The Santa Maria BBQ Salad looked good but I asked her if they could substitute the chicken with the Chimichurri steak and she said "sure!" And surprisingly they did not charge extra! I love restaurants that are flexible like this. My salad bowl was SO good and filling. Lots of good stuff in it: chopped salad mix, coleslaw mix, Applewood-smoked bacon, crumbled goat cheese, corn & black bean salsa, grape tomatoes. Served with chipotle ranch dressing and blackberry BBQ sauce on the side, and a fresh baked focaccia bread. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the cold meat. I was under the impression that the meat was going to be hot. My BF got the Southwestern Sandwich. It was delicious. All the Southwestern flavors were there but not overwhelming. The sandwich was hot and juicy. For a restaurant that makes everything from scratch, their prices are very affordable. Both our meals were only $27 total.

My son called Culinary Dropout and spoke with Olivia, the hostess, to see if the kitchen was still serving. Olivia responded with genuine warmth and kindness, assuring us that the kitchen was still open and that they would be happy to welcome us. From the moment we arrived, Olivia's hospitality set the tone for an exceptional evening. She greeted us with a warm smile, made us feel genuinely welcome, and promptly seated us. Shortly after, our server, Layla, introduced herself. Despite the late hour, she was energetic, engaging, and had an infectious enthusiasm that elevated the entire dining experience. She expertly recommended several cocktails, along with a glass of wine, and her knowledge of both the bar program and the menu was impressive. Her recommendations for appetizers and entrées were spot on. We decided on the Wagyu Pigs in a Blanket, BBQ Nachos, and the Spicy Rigatoni. Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. Another team member, Emanuel, delivered one of our dishes and was equally personable and engaging. He took the time to share information about the restaurant, further demonstrating the outstanding level of hospitality displayed by the entire team. Manager Dave also stopped by our table to check on our experience. We shared with him that this was, without question, one of the best dining experiences we've had in Orange County in quite some time. Great food certainly matters, but it was the exceptional service, genuine hospitality, and positive energy of the staff that made the evening truly memorable. A sincere thank you to Layla, Olivia, Emanuel, Dave, and the entire Culinary Dropout team for creating such a first-class dining experience. We look forward to returning soon and will gladly recommend your restaurant to family and friends.

You're going to pay sit down restaurant prices while eating out of paper plates. $20 chicken kebab plus tax and tips - that is the exact same price as at Panini Kabob Grill. The pricing point is kind of a stretch for work lunch hour meals. I'm not sure that too many people are going to be willing to pay $25 for their lunches but the quality of food seems to be on point and that is rare around the downtown area where most restaurants serve burgers, fries, and all sort of deep fried dishes. For that price, honestly, my bigger beef was eating out of paper plates. Chipotle does this, but their meals are a lot more generous and cheaper. I think you should definitely give this place a try at least once and then decide whether to come back by yourself. The food was good.
