Best Pizza I've Ever Had!…read more Service was quick and employees were friendly! This spot is a bit on the pricer side (it's Laguna Beach after all) but they have great selection of specialty pizzas! I decided to customize my own. There's limited seating inside and i waited at least 10 minutes for my pizza to be served. I can't describe how delicious it was! I recommend you coming and giving this place a try!!

I really don't have much to say on it as I thought all the ingredients complimented each other so well that I'd love to get it again with other people.

I would only go here again if there wasn't any other Italian restaurants available in the area and…read moreI wanted pasta/ pizza. We ordered a variety of pastas and pizzas. The first pasta we ordered was cheese ravioli with pink sauce (the pink sauce isn't on their menu). The ravioli tasted like it was straight out of the freezer and the pink sauce didn't have any flavor including salt. There was no salt to be found in that dish or any other dish we ordered. The Alfredo pasta (pictured) was the best thing we ordered but it was still bland + tasted like something I could make at home. I would give the pizzas a 5/10 they were just normal + didn't seem like they had the best ingredients given we were all a little sick after we left. Parking was nice as they have dedicated parking spots right in front of the restaurant and there were a ton available. We went around 5-6 pm on a Saturday after a beach day and it wasn't all that busy.

Such a yummy pizza place! Went with a group of girl friends and we got some cute pictures (thank…read moreyou to our hostess) and delicious food out of this place. We ordered a ton--garlic knots, wedge salad, two round pizzas (champion and umami mushroom) and a square pizza (smoky vodka). I enjoyed it all. The garlic knots were fine, but nothing special, would skip if you were already iffy on ordering. The wedge salad was also highly rated, but it was okay in my opinion too. Good to try once, but not a must have for me, a little too dressed up for my liking. I did try the spagnola salad at the Laguna Beach location and enjoyed it more, maybe because it tastes lighter. The pizzas though, were spectacular! Truly Pizza definitely deserves the high rating. The crust and pizza dough are cooked to perfection. My recommendation is to carefully read and choose toppings you know you'd enjoy for sure. While I enjoyed the round pizzas, I did not like the umami mushroom as much (maybe because I don't love and didn't realize there would be sesame seeds on pizza). The champion was a classic and the smoky vodka was delicious! The square pizza was fluffy, but not too doughy where it felt like I was just straight up eating bread. The side of ranch is here is also a must if you usually like dipping your pizza. Overall--great ambiance, excellent service, and excellent food. Would come back!

Really good pizzas and I can kinda understand the hype. We came here after snagging a last minute…read morereservation on open table a few days before. They open their reservations 30 days ahead and I definitely recommend getting a reservation since they usually book up, including weekdays! We came here on a Wednesday and it was packed. Not sure if everyone knows but there was a hidden parking lot behind the restaurant. It seemed like everyone did street parking. We ordered their famous champion tomato and cheese and the la foresta. Both pizzas were excellent. The champion cheese was really awesome. You can really taste the fresh tomatos and cheese. The crust was super crackly. They definitely nailed the crispiness. The la foresta had a nice dollop of ricotta on each slice that helped with the balance of the richness. Get the soft serve at the end of the meal! The issue was that the pizzas were super crispy and chewy that your jaw starts hurting to the point that you get kind of sore. However, I think it's totally a preference thing. There was also a wait of 25 min for your pizza since it was really busy. Aside from that, the service was excellent. Our server took really good care of us. Also, even though this was outdoor seating only, this spot was beautiful. They have lemon vines around and lots of great lighting inside. We'll definitely want to be back but probably when the hype of this place dies down a bit.

My girlfriend and I both had the hazy (highly recommend), and I went for a flight to sample a few more perfect way to kick off the weekend. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and even better service.

I sat with my back against the wall watching the poor souls go by -- those who don't have this pizza and lager in front of them at the moment. I said a silent prayer for them....then I ate. The service is top notch and the ambience says beach life in a quiet way. I want to thank my parents for not aborting me, so that I got to enjoy this. I can't wait to come back!

Gina's Pizza in Laguna is exactly the kind of spot you hope to stumble on after a day at the beach…read more- casual, friendly, and serving seriously satisfying pies. The crust is that perfect middle ground: thick enough to have some chew, but still crisp around the edges, so it holds up under all the toppings without getting soggy. The sauce tasted fresh and tangy, and they don't skimp on the cheese or the meat, which makes every slice feel hearty and filling. The pizza we ordered came out piping hot with plenty of sausage and other toppings spread evenly across the whole pie, not just in the middle. Each slice had a good balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings, so you're not fighting over the "good pieces." It's the kind of pizza that's easy to share, but also dangerous because you just keep going back for one more slice. On top of that, the atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming. It's easy to grab a table, share some pizza, and just relax with friends or family. If you're in Laguna and craving a classic, no-nonsense pizza that hits the spot, Gina's is a solid choice.

The vegan pizza here was delicious! Officially one of the best I've had! Hubby and I split a pizza…read morebut we had 2 different pizzas in one (half and half). I got a vegan margarita and he had a veggie pizza. The girls shared a small cheese pizza and I probably should have ordered them a smaller size pizza because we had plenty of leftovers. I loved my margarita pizza and he said his pizza was good too. My girls enjoyed their pizza as well. I loved that the pizza was hot and the cheese was melted perfectly on my pizza, hubby's cheese on his pizza half wasn't fully melted but it was still good. The girls ordered a lemonade and hubby and I had a beer. The only downside was that it was SO hot inside and while there is outdoor seating, it's not child safe (all barstools). They really need to keep the doors open to allow the ocean breeze. One other note, the booth by the bathroom--- you could smell the bathroom from the booth. Yuck! Other than that, service was friendly and the vegan pizza was SOO good!

It was a very humid out, so we opted to get a table inside. Unfortunately, sitting inside was not much of a relief. I assume they had no A/C. Jen opted for the Linguine Marechiaro and I chose the Baked Housemade Ziti. Jen liked her dish, but after seeing a documentary on octopus decided to give the ones in her dish to me, which I enjoyed. I found my pasta a bit tough and was a different spin on other baked ziti dishes I've had. However, the meatballs underneath the pasta were excellent. The service was a bit inconsistent. Not sure if they were understaffed but when ordering, our questions were met with short and mostly unresponsive answers and when closing the check, we had to request a to go box, then a second request for a carry out bag. I would have liked to give this place a higher rating, but feel 3/5 accurately grades our dining experience.
