went during oc restaurant week and got the build your own pizza w 2 sangrias and a cookie pie. appreciated the option for vegan cheese and loved the large selection of nonmeat toppings!! the pizza building process went smoothly and our sangria was served as we were eating. it had a bunch of chopped fruit bits in it and was very refreshing the establishment and bathroom were both very clean, and there was plenty of seating. loved the newspaper theme for the naming of things. and the tv inside was playing kiki's delivery service!! there is free street parking around the perimeter, which i appreciate bc the parking garages can get expensive. check this place out! read more

The Pizza Press - Pizza Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I saw the ad at the Frida Cinema about this place. So I decided to pay a visit after the show. It's a nice short walk from the Frida Cinema. The service staffs were friendly, and the service was efficient. You get in line, go through your selection Then the pizza is built as you move thru the line, and then it gets fed into the conveyor oven and gets baked. You pay, sit down and the staff brought out your pizza. The place is decorated like a printing press and the pizza is "hot off the press" literally. There are 2 large screens with one showing soccer matches and the other showing Studio Ghibli anime, which is a nice touch. As for the pizza itself, the thin crust has that nice crisp. The sauce and cheese, however, were somewhat average and lack flavor. Overall, it's a decent pizza joint, but nothing to wow about. read more

I've places online orders and picked up here quite few times, even when there are events going on in downtown and every time, the pizzas were always so good! Service has been consistently fine too even when they are super busy and barely has time to do anything else but Pizza Press is my go-to spot for pizza because they are thin and not oily like other pizzas, good flavor and just right for our taste! read more

A friend and I enjoyed a meal at Pizza Press a few months ago. We were treated to a surprise concert by some local high school students! What fun that was! They could have turned the volume down a tad, but their choice of tunes was mostly familiar to us and felt comfortable. We opted to eat on the patio so we could hold a conversation. The staff made our pizzas to order as requested and the food hit the spot. I hear that they now have a karaoke night and game nights too. What a fun downtown restaurant! read more

2 stars because the food in the end was ok and I'm glad we didn't get sick. But they need a manager or some structure in this restaurant. It was hard to tell who actually worked here-everyone looked young and in their school clothes-no one actually professional or adults. It took a while to get our food done-little bit of a cluster. It was a Monday so I guess they don't expect to be busy but they did have some DJ event going on, so you should plan to have some additional traffic. All in all, I would not come back unless I had to. It was an interesting subpar experience. read more

Great pizza. The ingredients were fresh as opposed to other pizza restaurants such as Pieology or Blaze. I wished they had more vegetables to choose from. The pizza dough was soft and flavorful. Customer service was as best to be expected with an order and go restaurant. Attentive to the customer after the server is done conversing with their coworker on non related restaurant business. read more

My family loves coming here! Freshest food around and the restaurant is super clean! Staff and owner is always super nice and helpful! Highly recommend, if you want good fresh pizza, wings or salad! read more

If you are hosting a party, Pizza Press should be at the top of your list! At the suggestion of a friend, I called Mimi on a Wednesday desperate for a place to host my husband's surprise 40th birthday party. Everything was planned for an outdoor picnic in a park but the weather was not going to cooperate. I was frantic but Mimi calmed me down and told me she'd absolutely love to host the party at her restaurant. On Friday morning, I met with Mimi and went over our order. She perfectly estimated our food needs for guests. In addition, I was able to order 3 specialty pizzas for guests with specific dietary needs. She had options available to accommodate everyone. I was supposed to set up before the party but due to the change of plans, it wasn't possible. Mimi told me not to worry and that she and her team would set up for me. I brought the decorations with me on Friday morning and told her what I had in mind. She and her team set up the night before the party and executed it above and beyond my expectations. When my husband walked in, Mimi had borrowed one of my friend's phones and was filming the surprise for us. Soon after the greeting, the food came flowing out. She had appetizers of tasty tots and wings ready to go for our hungry guests. Then the salad and pizzas started to arrive. She had a steady stream of hot and fresh pizzas from the ovens every 5-10 minutes. Guests who arrived later were welcomed with nice hot pizza. Everyone absolutely raved about the awesome food and great selection of beer on tap. The crust of the pizza is insanely simple yet tasty. And you can tell the ingredients are fresh and come from great suppliers. The customization is awesome but the pre-set pizzas are fantastic as well. We had so much fun at the Pizza Press and were seriously impressed by the hospitality and professionalism of Mimi and her team. We will absolutely be back for more pizza and celebrations in the future! read more

I loved this pizza press place, I came in for dinner with my boys and sister. This was my first time coming to this location I usually go to the one in old town Orange. However this one was closer to home. It was a great experience from the beginning and to end. When we first got there we got greeted by the nice young employees. They took our order down and within 20 minutes we were enjoying our pizza and of course we had to have our beer. They have a couple selections which was pretty awesome. They sell wings too and pizookie as well which was my favorite it was delightful not too sweet the wings were ok I've had better. If you have young kids they will love this place they have board games for the kids or even adults. The atmosphere is good they have a lot of little shops around you can go for a walk after your done and enjoy your day. read more

Odie, the Manager at The Pizza Press Santa Ana is great. He was very accommodative to our large team lunch outing. Great service and even better pizza, thank you! read more

Walked in on a slow Tuesday, ordered a pizza and a pitcher of beer. My observations: lazy, poorly-trained employees. 3 broken tables that limited where you could sit. The bathroom was disgusting. The gym who brought us the pizza dropped the pizza box on our table, leaving us to w onder where the plates, utensils, crushed pepper, etc. was. All in all. While the slightly undercooked pie was fairly tasty, I won't be back. Maybe the teenagers that come in don't mind, but this sdult expected more, as the prices are not cheap. read more

Bought the tribune pizza yesterday, delicious (chill on the olives tho). Got some mango habanero wings too, although they weren't as spicy as I thought they would be they were still juicy and tasty. The guy who works there and looks like the singer from the strokes helped me out and was very polite. read more

We needed to find our chinchillas a new home and asked lots of local businesses to let us put up flyers. Although tons said yes, we found lots didn't actually do it. The Pizza not only put up our flyer, but was incredibly kind to us when we asked. They spent time talking to me about the chinchillas, what kind of care they need, and what kind of home we were looking for. They remembered me when I came back and asked about it. They genuinely care about the community and people in it! PS- we also love their Wednesday Chess Night! read more

Best food, service is greater, and the ambiance is of the best,I come back every week.

Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever had in my life! Being a vegetarian I requested her to use a clean knife to cut the pizza. Which she politely agreed to. I appreciate that. While she was cutting the pizza I requested her to box in two small boxes (as I was splitting the order with someone else) and which sauce to pack. She got really upset and told me I was giving her too many instructions while she touched my pizza with her gloveless hands. Giving me a dirty stare witnessed by my colleagues. Thinking that maybe she is overwhelmed I didn't say anything to her and paid for my order and tipped her and waited for my colleague to pay. Watching me still standing there she snapped "Now what you want!". I said "nothing" and quietly walked away after my colleague was done paying. I am still processing this experience. Her snapping at me even after I paid is literally unfathomable! I have been there couple of times before and also been to other locations and I order exactly the same way and have NEVER been told that I give too many instructions as I always share my pizza with someone and ask for a clean knife to cut and which sauce to get. I am not going back there ever again. read more

I love pizza press and ever since they opened at south coast plaza I've always supported them. I was craving pizza while in Santa Ana and figured I would stop at pizza press cause they never had disappointed me. I was surely wrong. My pizza was too saucy, my cheese tasted funky. I ended up throwing away my pizza. The service was horrible the lady there was so rude had me waiting there just for her to get started on my pizza. And when I asked for condiment the amount in each little container was not enough for the whole pizza I had order. Order pesto and she said only one. The ambience was quiet. There were no people there. And one more thing the floors smelled like wet dog. I'm sorry but the lady that was working there was just plain rude read more

Great service. Food was delicious especially the soup. Thank you so much for catering our event.

As usual it doesn't disappoint.... now available cauliflower crust. Yes it's more money but it's delicious. In the mood for pizza when your downtown than here is your spot. Highly recommended and excellent customer service is a plus. Unfortunately we are not able to dine in yet. read more

Worst $70 ever spent, pizza was as thin as a piece of paper. I ordered mango haberno wings and the wings had no flavor whatsoever. A tip for everyone, if the cooks look young the food will never be good. Never coming back again read more

Thin crust is the only way I eat pizza and theirs is quite thin and tasty enough. But what I do love about them is that have both fresh ANDroasted garlic and ricotta cheese. Not all these types of build-your-own pizza chains carries the same toppings and those make such a difference in my pizza. Love 'em so much! I'm not sure if all the PP locations do have the same toppings, however, but I had those added to my pizza from last night that happens to be my leftovers for lunch (yay me!) and this DTSA spot is where they had them.  For beverages, they carry a decent selection of beers, including craft on draft. As of last night, they had Grapefruit Sulpin that's always a good to-go-to for IPA and they also carry Perrier if you want something better then the free water. Good crew, newly opened (think earlier this year) it's nice and clean inside. All great stuff they've got at this spot and very much worthy of a visit. read more

I placed a pick up order at this location around 6pm and when I arrived the store was empty but somehow both staff members failed to notice my order.

Ive been a big fan of pizza press until thy started charging 50cents for sauces. Before the pesto on top of your pizza was included but now it's a charge. They're prices went up on the pizzas as well. I'm a sauce type of girl so I get 4 sauces on the side lol so when they fill up not even half way and still Charge me 50 cents it's like what the heck? Here's a pic of the ranch. Workers don't know any of the items on the menu because I had to explain what a bell pepper, which sauce was which, what basil was. Workers learn the menu PLEASE it makes the process faster. This is the Santa Ana location. Won't be coming back to this location anymore. read more

The Pizza Press - a black and white cat - Pizza Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I would see these around Orange County and feared it might be a trendy pizza joint that would fade. It also has an expensive look by the quality design of the restaurant. All my impressions were false. This place is legit and excellent value for Money. You can choose from signature classics like the "Tribune" or you can design your own. It's an excellent portion size and it's priced so affordable. My family of three ordered the Tribune which was a nice flavored marinara sauce, mozzarella, red peppers, salami, sausage, ricotta cheese and olives. We added an order of bbq wings and tried their craft beer... the blood orange Hefeweizen. It was an excellent way to end the work week, we were all stuffed and the food makes It another great gem of a restaurant for DTSA 4th read more
