    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!

    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.

    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.

    Build Your Own Pizza

    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.

    Lunch special
    Frank P.

    This is some darn good pizza. I love a true thin crust. I ordered the lunch special a two-topping pie with a drink. I went with pepperoni and mushrooms. This may be the best thin crust pie I have ever eaten. They don't skimp on the cheese either. I want to bring a Vegan friend so she can try one of their pies. It was nice to have Basil sprinkled on top before serving. I don't drink, but I noticed a nice selection of craft beers. Service hare is very good. I will definitely return.

    The Pizza Press was one of the first places I went to in Orange Circle, because it has build your own pizza and it has a fun newspaper theme. I got a custom pie and I really enjoyed it! You get to see the process of making the pie and then it goes into the oven. Pretty good pizza!

    Full-size build your own

    It was my first time here at The Pizza Press. I've never had it before. I must say, I loved how clean and spacious it was inside as well. Everything was all organized and stocked up. I love how the menu is set up as well as the beer lineup and menu. (I was to ow cited forgot to take menu photos). I will be back. Soon as we go up to order we are greeted by the workers. The one who helped me I forgot his name but was attentive to my order and I ordered a "build your own" pizza it has a play on words and forgot what it said lol anyways, when I got to the register Jack was the one who took care of me and my friends. He was so sweet and I did let him know it was my first time. After I was done and had to get a to-go box, I told him all the flavors were so good and every flavor came through. He took care of me well. Jack needs a raise by the way. His customer service w skills and communication was beyond amazing and had a smile that made your day that much better. Thank you Jack and your coworker. I will definitely be coming back. The food was hella poppin!! My fave base sauce that I had on my pizza l is their spicy marinara. It does have a kick but it works well with al the toppings I had chosen. I can't wait to come back!

    Dirty windows always. Get some windex. Attention to detail.
    Al Z.

    Good service!! Good Food and beer! Managers should pay attention to the cleanliness of their windows. Always dirty. Smudges. Nasty. They need to get a window washer or at the least, get someone to windex every morning

You get to choose a variety of toppings and two sauces. I got tzatziki and hummus which tied all the flavors together.

While it's still quite pricey ($18.50 for a chicken shawarma salad bowl) the portions are way bigger than they used to be. However, and most importantly - the food is just really good. Meats are cooked great, the burger is crazy good and the fries are seasoned perfectly. Staff has only ever been good as well. I normally stick to the salad bowl and leave stuffed. The key thing here is that this isn't Greek or Persian - it's Lebanese. And the flavors and spices of Lebanon are unique and for me preferred over other Mediterranean restaurants. It'd be a perfect 5 stars if only there were a lunch special or just slightly lower prices. Lots of other Mediterranean spots are easily 30% cheaper - but I get it. The Orange Circle has big rents and the oils and ingredients are premium. Still looking forward to coming back and strongly recommend.

As for the flavor, it was fresh and delicious! While waiting for our crepe, the shop did begin to get busy, but we still received our crepe fairly quickly (~5 minutes). I did see that they have a Wine Wednesday deal, which I will definitely be back for. Overall, everyone should stop by at least once for a crepe, a drink, or to experience one of their daily deals!

The portions are really good too because I still had leftovers to take back and still tasted fresh after a weekend in the fridge. The only thing I noticed were that the rice still was slightly hard. I'm not sure if the time I came (around 12pm) didn't give them enough time to let the rice cook more or maybe needed more water. Other than that, the staff member that served me was super kind and friendly, he kept checking in on me to make sure everything was good. So sweet! I'll definitely come back to try their other marinated chicken flavors!
