      found this place across from my rehearsal studio lockout and decided to try it. great service and good portions with reasonable prices. had a spicy marinara pizza with pepperoni and sausage. i would say it came out in less than five minutes.

      very tasty with salad and garlic cheese toast options and some other things.

      they have lots of events on different nights and are in the heart of the downtown santa ana scene. pretty cool vibe and good food. will be back!

      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.

      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!

      The food was excellent, the toppings available are a great choice and the pre assembled signatures they offer are superb! Service with a smile and very polite. The ambiance is very kool good jams and fun spot to people watch while enjoying a good slice of pie on a Sunday

      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.

      I had a mixed experience at Pizza Press. The employee crafting our pizza seemed disinterested, giving off a lazy vibe. The ingredients didn't appear fresh, though the pizza turned out decent. Disappointingly, they no longer offer WiFi, which was a convenient feature they had before.

      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

      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.
