Love the food here. Never disappointed and always consistently yummy. I love the goat cheese with hot honey and pepperoni!

We have a new favorite pizza place! Crust was fresh and crispy on the bottom, sauce tasted like fresh tomatoes, toppings were generous and tasty! Definitely will be ordering again soon! read more

Hi all - I would've messaged the mgmt direct via email but they don't provide one on their website. I really like this place. A lot. BUT, while I have been coming for a long time, they don't clean well and it does worry me. There are always small black flies, indicative of poor cleaning of traps, drains, or elsewhere. It is the "elsewhere" that worries me. GET RID OF THE FLIES! I would like to continue to eat there without worrying about what it is they haven't been keeping clean. read more

We went to Wise guys pizzeria again for some great food. The service here is something they are so busy but they keep up on it. The place has a lot of seating inside and out and even a little bar if you want something like that to eat it or drink at. The pizza here is always top quality and we love the salads. Great job. Keep it up guys!! read more

The pizza was very good and the garlic knots were good as well. But the customer service after ordering is poor. Nobody checks on the tables for refills of drinks. I had to go to the bar and several employees just past me by until I stopped one of them to get refills. When she handed it back to me, I said "thanks" and her response was "un huh." Then I needed a to-go box which again I had to go to the counter to get. Overall, good food, but customer service needs improvement. read more

Our go to place. Great food, large portions and wonderful staff. Perfect neighborhood business as Sean and the gang are very community oriented. Lunch deals are truly a great deal and they even have great ice cream read more

Best pizza, ever!!! This hidden gem in OC is tucked away in the hills of Orange. Family owned with amazing recipes! Their mouth watering hot wings will shock you with the amount of flavor and perfectly balanced heat. Their homemade minestrone soup is perfect for the colder weather, and super filling. The unbelievably delicious pizzas are the perfect amount of dough/toppings. The Don is my favorite, and I'm not a fan of sausage anywhere else! I can eat that pizza weekly! (Guilty) I've had a variety of their pizzas from veggie to chicken Gorgonzola... you can not go wrong. The pastas that I've had are top notch, just as good as any fine dining Italian restaurant. The staff is friendly, owners are extremely welcoming, and the inside is large with a packed bar at all times. Definitely try this place! read more

Great family place and the best pizza in the area ( my opinion). Always a friendly helpful staff!

We ordered to go order on the phone to this place on Sunday 11/30 it's been awhile since we ate here. We ordered the family pack I was quoted $35 comes with large pizza one free topping and I added one topping, salad, 2 liter of soda, half a pint of ice cream & garlic knots Total comes out $42 some cents. I asked the cashier why is so much he said the taxes. I asked how much the family pack he said $39 it's different from what I was quoted on the phone. I'm not very happy with the food the mushrooms topping looks old it's dark brown almost black color is not fresh and it didn't taste fresh at all and the salad is not fresh either some of the lettuce has brown edges you can tell it isn't fresh. Who knows how long it's been sitting there. I was afraid to eat it. I'm very disappointed with my food I now remembered why I don't but my pizza here anymore. I don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

My favorite pizza place of 10+ years! I love their pizza, pasta, salad, bread, and everything else on the menu!

They prepared large takeout for 17 people. The order included multiple items from pizza to chicken Parmesan. The food was ready on time and they helped us out. The food was a solid 5 on a scale of 5 and a 10 on a scale of 10..Thank you read more

We had lunch here and ordered pizza and salad. The food was delicious and the staff was attentive. It seems like a fun place for pizza.

Brought the family and my 81 year old mother for Saturday lunch. Food was good. Service was good. We left with a headache. The cooks playing their music. While a different music in the dining room. I asked if this was battle of the djs and that's what I was told. When I brought it up nothing changed. First time I had an experience like this here in over 20 years. Should have recorded it read more

We are rarely on this side of town but when we are we love to stop at wise guys. Service is always fast and friendly, the pizza is delicious!!! The crust is perfectly crisp and soft and chewy. I love their queen margherita but even just a plain cheese is delicious! My little guy loves the spaghetti marinara, and never skips his scoop of ice cream (comes with the kids meal!). They have plenty of TVs if you are looking to watch a game. We will continue to come when nearby! read more

Really good pizza! Not soggy, not dry, perfect topping ratio with cheese and sauce. The wings were meh but it's a pizza store, so their rating doesn't count. read more

Excellent pizza! Everytime i go to Irvine regional park, I always stop by and pick up a pie! 8/10

Nice place with good food, nice people, nice casual ambiance and the prices were very reasonable. Yesterday was my first time there and now I know I'll go back for more. Try the 5 cheese pizza. read more

The BEST pizza in the OC. We love their specialty pizzas!! Highly recommend the Rocky Graziano

I usually get a consistently good pizza from Wise Guys. Ordered the Milan both sweet and hot Italian sausage sauté onions and mushrooms mozzarella red sauce. Fair amount of each ingredient chunky chopped mushroom, slices of sweet onion crumbled sausage, great pull on the cheese and chewy crisp crust. Phoned in order for pickup I asked for the pizza to be well done and was told no problem. Upon arrival I am shown the pizza and it's prepared nicely but not well done. Wise Guys is your classic family ambiance with a sizable bar for adults. I did fire my oven up to 450 through the pizza on a screen and toasted to my liking. $24 out the door made two meals out of the eight slice medium pie read more

Great quality food, ambience, and service! The pesto ravioli was amazing, as was the cheese pizza!

I loved this place service and food is great ... Real pizza the wings we ordered were also delicious my kids are picky Wingstop eating kids and they actually liked the wings here. Coming back for sure read more

We absolutely LOVE Wise Guys pizzeria!! It's the best!! It's the only pizza place that I love to dine it! The atmosphere or ambiance is so much fun and relaxed. The service is great, and it's just a fun place to go!! We usually get a pepperoni pizza and their Veggie pizza. The Veggie pizza is the very best!! It has so many fresh vegetables, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, red onions, eggplant, red bellpeppers, and garlic. It is SO yummy!! We got a pepperoni, pineapple and mushrooms pizza along with the My Hot Honey pizza last time we went. They were both amazing! We will be getting My Hot Honey again for sure!! We always get the Wise Guys House Salad too, which has romaine, red onions, craisins, bacon, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, and croutons- yum!! We haven't had anything bad yet!! And we always have fun there! If you haven't been to Wise Guys in Orange- go!! read more

A casual spot for Italian food - calzones, pizza, salads, sandwiches, and pastas. There's plenty of tables and longer tables as well, making it a good spot for groups. The price is fairly affordable. I got the clam linguine and it came in at around $13, while clam linguine can hit the low 20s at other spots, so I was quite happy with what I got. What was nice about it was that it came with two different sauces - a marinara and a creamy, alfredo like sauce. The sauce was nice and chunky as well so it gripped to the linguine itself and was great for dipping the garlic bread in. One thing that could be improved is if staff wore face masks during the pandemic. read more

Great food, beer and gelato. It is family friendly. We go there often with friends. The outside tables is a good location to socialize.

Sooooooo GOOD!! Crispy crust - great marina - quality toppings we loved it ! Wish we lived closer so we could eat here all the time :)

Overall we'd recommend WiseGuys, food quality is very good. But when ot comes to pricing we still go to Valentinos..

Food wise 4 stars, but -1 for the extra wait We've gone here twice now and have always ordered to-go: Tijuana Tommy & Angelo's vegetable (split L). The second time Milan Pizza Large. The tijuana tommy had chorizo and while it was a good pizza the toppings were very sparse. The dough was good, I love me a nice outside crisp crust and the slice itself stood up horizontally instead of going limp. The vegetable pizza was also good and had plentiful toppings. The wait on this first visit was 20-25 minutes but I ended up waiting 35 minutes total. Annoying but not too bad. The second time however, was infuriating. We called ahead and they said the wait was 30-35 minutes. When I got there and paid, they said the pizza should be out in 6 minutes, which was exactly 35 minutes. We ended up waiting for 55 minutes for a pizza that wasn't fully cooked and was white in some parts. I honestly think they forgot about our pizza and scrambled to get ours in the oven and rushed to pull it out. That would explain waiting an extra 25 minutes for 1 large pizza. The cashier who finally gave me my order comped us with a free black and white cookie for our troubles. Thank you, it was a good cookie but can you please work on your pizza estimates! We are scared to go back a third time because than it'll be shame on us, we should've known better. read more

Great, old-school, classic pizza. Service is quick, pizza is delicious! Nice beer list. Will be coming back to try other pizzas, sandwiches, and apps for sure. read more

While visiting some family over the weekend we ended up stopping here for dinner which was a pleasant surprise! This is definitely a busy spot for a Sunday night but their menu was very good compared to what I was expecting. Full of a variety of pizzas, pastas, salads, and sandwiches and they also provide catering. I am a sucker for anything with hot honey so I got the hot honey pizza that had pepperoni, cheese, arugula and of course hot honey. They have a variety of sizes of pizza to pick from as well so it is perfect to get your own or a large one to share. Also the garlic knots are a MUST, they were so good and a basket of them was enough to share for our group. It is definitely a family friendly spot and they also have a bar area to sit at but you order all food from the front cashier and then they bring it out to you. Though I don't live in the area I would definitely come back if I was. My brother also got the mac n cheese which was big and super good! They also have gluten free options if you need it! read more

It's complicated, that's my relationship status with her. They have the best vegetarian pizza I've had, their kids pizza deal is sweet, and they have good beers on tap. The flip side they don't always answer when you call and they leave off toppings on pizzas. That last one is what upsets me the most! This time we ordered two pizzas to go along with a kids pizza deal. One pizza perfection, second pizza it's like they distracted and then forgot which pizza they were making and then threw it in the box like we wouldn't realize it. ‍ Sadly our bad we should've checked before we left, but hunger had us not thinking straight. Will we be back? Yes, until there's a vegetarian pizza somewhere else worth leaving them for. See told you, complicated. Best advice I can give: don't order during their peak times and ALWAYS check your order before you walk out. read more

I always love coming to Wise Guys! The pizza is super delicious and they have amazing appetizers. The staff is incredibly nice and polite. They make the experience super fun & it feels like being at home. read more

Consistently good pizza. Only negative is parents who don't watch their kids. Not cute. Annoying.

Greta pizza place. Reminds me of the old school pizza joint when I was younger. Calzones and pizza are great. Their pizza sauce is one of my favorites around. read more

Great vibe best pizza and beer place- they are friendly hardworking teenagers working here.

Bad crust, bad service, pretty bad all around. Skip this spot and go to the Dominoes next door.

Long ago, I attended a poorly funded inner city high school. Most kids just brought their own lunches because the cafeteria only served two things: microwaved hamburgers and barely-warmed-up frozen pizza. Last Friday, the medium cheese pizza at Wise Guys took me on an unexpected toboggan ride down memory lane. For the first time in 30 years, my throat strained once more to keep down each familiar bite of leathery crust, waxy cheese, and lifeless, zestless, discount tomato sauce. Yet somehow, Wise Guys' ode to my school's prison style cafeteria was the preferred choice of our family because it was still technically edible. Our other purchase, the large Mediterranean Pizza, looked as if someone's vegetarian dinner had been accidentally set ablaze and they had tried putting it out by angrily dumping it onto the remains of a frozen pizza crust recently rescued from a chemical fire. It's haunting. Even a week later, when I close my eyes, I still see the $45 dollar bill and the cruelly contorted faces of my family. One by one, they hurl half chewed up slices down onto their plate. Then, each turns to me and silently asks with hungry eyes, "Why?" P.S. Also, the portions were too small read more

Ordered two take out pizzas, pepperoni and Hawaiian. They were both really good. Didn't stay inside, but area looked like a cool kick it spot to watch sports. read more

The food was good, but it was very slow and way too loud and uncomfortable waiting. Most of the people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Would consider doing takeout only. They had so many employees in the front, but not enough people preparing the food. read more

DISCLAIMER: It really pains me to leave such a negative review as I just don't like to leave negative reviews, but I also feel like it's a disservice to potential patrons if I am not honest about how bad the food here was. We've been big fans of Wise Guys for a while but had not visited in quite a few months because we are currently on a health journey which unfortunately hasn't included pizza and knots. Upon the urging of my Bonus kid, with his rave reviews of having eaten here on his weekends with his mom and the food being so good, we decided to throw the healthy diet out the window for the night to enjoy the Dodgers vs Yankees Game 1 series with some pizza and knots. First off, we called to place our order around 3:45 pm on a Friday and were told it would take 40 minutes for pick up. We were totally good with that and ordered our standard: garden salad with ranch, large order of garlic knots and a medium pepperoni pizza with a drizzle of hot honey. We picked up our order 35 minutes later and it was ready. So clearly the 40 minute quote was not accurate which is fine by us. Upon getting home with our order and anticipating the hot, tasty knots we had not had in a while, we noticed that our box of large knots was only like a 1/3 of the way full. Again, we didn't really care and just thought maybe the Universe is doing us a favor and providing some portion control. First knot we had though, was so disappointing. They were cold, and hard. Almost tasted like they were old knots that had been sitting around all day, or reheated ones from the day before. They had no flavor, literally felt like I was chewing on cardboard. There was barely any butter, garlic or Parmesan cheese on any of them. Needless to say, we were super bummed that the knots we had loved previously did not live up to our fond memory of them. Next we decided that maybe the pizza would make up for the lack of taste of the knots. We dug in before it got cold. Unfortunately for us, the pizza was already cold and tasted like it had been sitting around for quite some time. The crust was hard, not crunchy, not crisp, but just hard and flavorless. While their pizza is always greasy, in the past, the crust has always had some crispness on the outside with a satisfying doughy inside and the greasiness could be overlooked. Not this time. It was just greasy pepperoni and sauce on some tasteless day old crust. After the pizza and knots fiasco, I thought the salad would likely be fine as it's something that's pretty hard to mess up, especially with Wise guy's delicious ranch dressing that we all love. Well, joke was on us because while their garden salad was decent, the ranch was super runny and just average at best. Overall, this was the most mediocre cheat meal I have had in a long time. We will not be returning anytime soon. I could list at least 5 other lower cost pizza places I would rather get a cheat meal from. So save yourself some money and save your tastebuds and just avoid this spot. Sad that it has gone from being one of our top 3 spots to somewhere I really don't ever care to visit again.

The best pizza is Orange as well as salads, pasta and apps. We haven't had a bad dish yet. My family particularly like the Hitman and pizza Bianco. The only issue is they're normally very busy so orders can take a long time and service can also be a little crazy. read more
