Favorite Pizza in OC is Massimo's in Costa Mesa on E17th St! They have the freshest ingedients and the best crust. Been in OC for over 25 years and family owned and operated. Must go!

I actually LOVE the pizza there...Do you work there?

To OCRA, I do not work there but am friends with the owners and have been dining here for years. I love this place!

I haven't had really good NY style pizza since I moved back to OC. Anyone know of any hidden gems I have yet to discover?

You know there is this place in Mission Viejo called Big O to go
they don't even use pizza boxes they wrap it in foil, the pizza is really good.

Thanks for the tip! I will have to check it out this weekend.

You guys should try Mario Batali's restaurant in LA called Pizzeria Mozza. It's a relatively small, upscale pizzeria with very affordable prices. Many of the ingredients are made in-house and I think the pizzas are wonderful!

What is your favorite pizza place?? I am from the east coast and have not found a favorite yet.

I'm going to vote for my local joint--Al's NY Pizza in CM off 17th and Irvine Ave. There is a caveat, though. It is best when ordered by the slice and kept with a simple topping or plain--otherwise, the pizza tends to get steamed in the box. The Pizza Bakery makes a nice CA pie. Round Table, fresh at the restaurant w/ original crust is good (I don't usually like chains, but RT does a nice job (King Arthur Supreme.) Laventina's on the penninsula is good and cheap. Unfortunately, the best slice this side of NY (Di Fara's and Grimaldi's (Brooklyn), John's, and Lombardi's (GV)), in my humble opinion--is at Luigi's in San Diego. (Golden Hill area) For Chicago Pie, the best (IMO) is Geno's East in Chicago with crumbled sausage and pepperoni. If you add too many toppings, it gets too muddled. Also, try Old Chicago Pizzeria in Petaluma, CA. Again, there's nothing like the goods in Brooklyn.

As a writer previously wrote: Pizzeria Mozza in LA is on my short list to try. I'm quite certain that a Silverton/Batali co-op is a can't miss.

I must've hit Massimo's on a bad night. I didn't appreciate it as much as a previous writer.

Pizzeria Mozza - the best... I dream of the Pizza and am going to be there on Saturday to savor it once again!

Local... I agree with Brent.. Al's by the slice!
