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

This place has some very amazing pizza and salads. Yes great all around. Even their ice cream and gelatos are legit. I've had their pizza many times and every time is superb. This time I got a personal Pesto pizza with Onions and sausage I believe it was. Super good! The dough is made to perfection and the toppings are fresh and plentiful. Also got their Greek Salad. The small size is big enough for two people. Also fresh ingredients and great tasting. Their dressings here are so good. Finished our lunch off with some Gelato and it was also made very well. Love the atmosphere of the place to. Lots of TVs to watch sports and people eating and drinking having a good time. Will definitely be back! read more

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

I was pleasantly surprised by how this place is able to accommodate a large crowd while also still maintaining a mom and pop type of restaurant feel. The interior is homely and inviting, and immediately behind the front counter you can see fresh pies being tossed and made. In terms of pricing, it seems very fair considering the pizzas taste freshly made and full of toppings. I only had a chance to try the specialty loaded pizzas, and ended up going with the Pizza Bianco. The bianco uses alfredo instead of marinara and included plenty of garlic, cheese, chicken, onions, and mushrooms. The menu in general can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate, but I'm certain that with such a large variety there will always be an option for anyone. This is not limited to pizza, as pasta, salads, and sandwiches are also included with just as much customizable selection as the pizza menu. Great spot inside a plaza to accommodate a large crowd, good pizza, and the friendly staff make this a nice location to return for lunch with a group! read more

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

Came here for my kids school fund raising night tonight and the food was as good as I remember. We came here a few times before and their food has been always good with huge portion. We ordered a small salad and a medium pizza for the family of three and still have some salad and pizza to take home. Our friend ordered their wings (I forget the name, but he's kind of sweet with a hint of spiciness); it's juicy and right amount of sauce to cover the wings with an after taste of the heat. It's definitely a casual places to meet go with family and friends and absolutely kids friendly. They were very busy tonight probably due to the school event, but the staff here were very nice, patient and tried to get thing we asked for. 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.

Good food. Slow service. You can wait forever for a take out. Staff does what it can.

The food is so worth going for but the place can be busy and sports/college themed. If you order takeout or delivery it might take longer than going inside the restaurant. read more

Love their honey siracha wings and all the pizza's!!! Also it's a fun vibe inside! Great service overall!

Highly recommend this place for 2 reasons. Firstly Maddy, was my server and she was fantastic. Secondly, they have a great selection of craft beers and the food is good. Great place to come and eat and drink. read more

My wife and I frequent Wise Guys for lunch. They have great lunch specials and food. We give a "shout out" to whomever hires the young staff there. The staff is always respectful, pleasant to communicate with and motivated. We also like the ambiance and background music. read more

THE best pizza place I've been to. The inside is so fun, the walls are covered with college pennants, and TVs always have a sports game on. Any of their specialty pizzas are fantastic, but don't leave out the pizza rolls as an appetizer. Lots of great local brews are on the menu and it's your lucky day if there's homemade sangria! I hope this place never changes! read more

Let me say first that I love this place and go here a lot living not too far away. However, this is the second time my order was wrong so it's best to open it and check it everyone. Last time I called and they apologized so not bothering this time. Despite both the person taking the order over the phone and the young man at the cash register confirming the order when I arrived to pay for it and pick it up I arrived home with the exactly what I asked them not to do. No red sauce on the meatball or sausage - just plain meats and pesto on angel hair with extra pesto... it all came with red sauce and no pesto. Since neither of us can eat red sauce the dinner was pretty much a waste. Garlic bread was fine though. Open the bags and check even if they are busy.it will save you time and money. read more

Kind Staff. Yummy food!! Ambiance was a bit loud for a Sunday night, but now that I think about it there was a football game going on which explains the screaming. We had the goat cheese marinara with garlic knots..YUM. the bruschetta pizza was alright, quite expensive, and underwhelming. crust was great but didn't support lackluster ingredients. read more

We've been enjoying Wise Guys for years. They have great food and service. One of the few places in SoCal that has Diet Dr Pepper on tap.

Ever had food so good that you eat it all before you even get a chance to take a picture of it? Well that was me last night. My food was absolutely delicious. Authentic, quality Italian cuisine, decent prices and generous portions. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo (minus the chicken) perfect amount of creamy & pasta cooked perfectly and the garlic bread all I can say is OMG freshly made seasoned and cheesy. On top of the great food, the customer service was great too and employees are still wearing masks & gloves. Hand sanitizer provided for guests. Indoor & outdoor seating or curbside pick up. I highly recommend this place and next time I visit I will try to post pictures of my food prior to eating my food. read more

Chicken parm was great the only downside was they burnt the garlic bread and the pizza both had an overwhelming burnt taste that made it inedible read more

There are only two places I will ever go for pizza again, Wise Guys & a little hole in the wall dive bar in Huntington Beach. Since finding wise guys about two months ago we come here pretty regularly because the pizza is always perfect. Fresh ingredients, creative topping choices, the wings are great, the salads are great, the beer selection is pretty ok - I'm not a beer aficionado but they do have some good choices here. Our favorite is the Pizza Bianco and Godfather Supreme. My advice when coming here is order a few small specialty pizzas so you can have a mini sampler platter. read more

Great food! The marinara with goat cheese is a must try! Love all the food, and a great salad selection.

I think this place has some of the best pizza in Orange County. That being said, I like all pizza so never take my reviews too seriously. I appreciate how Wise Guys has a little white board by the register saying approximately how long the wait will be. I like that they are up front about that. read more

We were in the area. We have been to the Yorba Linda location and liked it. We came on a Saturday night. Pros: Nice location, storefront, lots of trees surrounding the area. We were able to order right away, a small antipasto salad, medium pepperoni pizza, lemonade for my wife, and I had a draft IPA. Everything was very good. Service was satisfactory. We stood waiting for a few minutes with no one else at the register because it looked like two employees were attending to something else. An employee came to offer refills on my wife's lemonade. Cons: Very loud. An outside table would have been quieter but they were reserved. Didn't know they accepted reservations. While my beer was good, it was pricey, $9.00 for a pint, more than a lot of expensive restaurants. However, I love pizza and this pizza was good. We may not be back to this location as we don't live nearby, but we will keep coming to Wise Guys! read more

We used to love Wise Guys when it first opened. We live very close to this location and we used to get the Weekender special all the time, which is a specialty pizza and salad. We stopped because going here because they were putting less and less toppings each time. We decided to give them another try yesterday and that was a big mistake. The weekender is 37 dollars now, we got the Mediterranean salad which was good, and half untouchable half Pizza Bianca. The chicken was non existence, barely any mushrooms or even buffalo sauce. It tasted like eating a piece of dough. I think I will stick to Pizza Press, where I can put as much of toppings and cheese and sauce I want to put. Will not go back again. It's sad because it's so close but for over 25 dollars for a pizza I expect a little more. read more

Came here in a rainy day for some comfort food - a meatball sub and some tomato basil soup. I've had worse meatball subs, but also many much better ones. Couldn't bear to finish it. Same with the soup. It was more like heavy cream with a bit of tomato flavor. Maybe their pizza is good, as there is a constant flow of customers, but I'd have to be really hungry to ever come here again. read more

This location is in a busy shopping center, so parking may be a problem. There are quite a few tables, and if most of them were used, it's hard to imagine that all the diners would be able to find spaces in the lot. This is not a full-service restaurant, but can't be classified as a fast food place either. You order at the counter, and your food items are brought to the table you chose. I enjoyed my chicken parmesan sandwich, and the pasta salad I chose as the side. It was a good deal for $10.99. Unlike a salad which came almost immediately (and was also enjoyed), I waited at least 10 - perhaps 15 - minutes for the sandwich. It's the biggest factor in not rating this place 5 stars. Service was both competent and friendly. read more

Their pizza rolls, just a simple pepperoni, is my fav...or garlic knots and a salad. Fun family oriented place with decent prices for great pizza, salad, lasagne and raviolis, too! My inner six year old is always happy to eat here. read more

Just amazing service and food every time we go in. Love the pastrami! Kids love the small pizzas. We have been a dozen times with family and friends and never had a miss. read more

Good pizza joint! I ordered in advance and pizza is always ready for pickup on time. Lots of variety to choose from

Have yet to have a bad pizza. They are always busy though, so be prepared for a longer wait then other places.

We have ordered pizza to go from Wise Guys many times... but we have to say there's nothing quite as good as having it served hot at the table. The Italian salad dressing is delicious and the pizza is crispy and hot and the best in the area - not to mention the employees are fantastic! read more

What happened to the taste and quality? 3 different pizzas, all bland flavor and crust tastes like old frozen crust. Such a shame as this was (not anymore) one of our go to places. Tried 3 different occasions hoping they would get it right. Never again. read more

Ordered full order of garlic knots, small pepperoni pizza, medium pizza bianco, and shrimp scampi pasta. Total cost: $54.xx Garlic knots 5/5 good! Will order again Small pepperoni pizza 5/5 soft, fluffy and cooked right Medium pizza bianco 2/5 center was a wet mess. It was so wet/soggy that the crust ripped right off when trying to grab a piece of pizza Shrimp scampi linguini 2/5 nothing special, missing something, no yum factor Price 4/5 we had left overs so it's like a second meal Overall- willing to come back and try other items such as calzone etc. read more

Just and average pizza for $20. I felt like Wise Guys skimped on the toppings. Couldn't taste the Alfredo or garlic and the "fresh" basil was cooked and burnt. The next day I took the leftovers and drizzled some store bought Alfredo and more mozzarella which made it so much better. Would I try Wise Guys Pizza again? Probably not. I ordered this pizza for take out so I have no opinion on the service or ambiance. read more

So I want to say this is diamond in the rough. It's in the hills of Orange. And I first came here with my cousin to meet up with some of his riding friends. This place has some of the best pizza I have ever had. And I have been to NY and lived near Chicago for about a year. Yes that good. And yes it cost a bit more. But you always have to pay for greatness. It's not like the average commercial pizza. So much much much better. They have about 20 types of pizza but you can also make your own. They also make pastas. That are amazing. Another great thing about this place is the beers they carry. They have a revolving taps for new beers that come in every Tuesday. It's a must to come here on a Tuesday. The vender will be there. And usually you can get a glass with your beer of the Brewer. This place is also known for kids and adult sport teams to come celebrate after a good win. And sometimes a loss. This place does get packed. Many people order out. But it's great to wait some times and enjoy it there. And if you have room. Try dessert. I won't spoil it for you. But it's as good as their food and beers. read more

This place is literally down the street from my house, so I'm here frequently. The place never disappoints! There is such a nice vibe about this place and the food is on point. You can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches, pizza, etc... I highly recommend the goat cheese marinara and Bugsy's BBQ chicken sandwich. My kids go crazy for their gelato and black and white cookies. We've been coming here for years and I have so many great memories of dining inside with the long benches with checkered table cloths. Can't wait for Covid to end! read more
