Orange County Pizza — Restaurant in Rancho Santa Margarita

Small, 9" all pepperoni 1/2 olive 1/2 green peppers... That is complicated? Apparently so for the young girl who was taking my order. Plus there are quite a few price errors, as much as over $1.50 for one item. I suggest dear pizza lover Mgmt here cannot be bothered with honest pricing.

Overall, this feels like the best non-chain pizza option in the area, but it could truly stand out by enhancing its flavor profile, expanding its toppings selection, and improving the calzone recipe. A little more creativity and better ingredients could...

Just had a pizza from here (pepperoni and sausage thick Crust). Our first experience with OC Pizza was years ago. Needless to say, it was less than a good experience - we never went back. Have noticed a number of posts on the local city Facebook page saying how good their pizza was, so we figured with the stay at home order in place, we would patronize a local restaurant and give them a another shot. We were pleasantly surprised. This time they were MUCH better than our first experience. There was a good amount of nice stringy cheese on the pizza. The sausage and pepperoni were very tasty. Glad we gave them another shot, as we will return. Gets a two...
