User Reviews

First time visiting this location in Costa Mesa. Great atmosphere, the location was clean and the employees were outstanding. Awesome customer service and great knowledge of the items they are selling. As a New Yorker I'm not normally a Chicago style pizza fan. This is the place to go in Orange County if you want a Chicago style pan pizza. The pizzas take up to 45 minutes so it might be better to order ahead if not enjoy their large selection of beers/wine, Our food was delivered piping hot and again the customer service was outstanding. You can get a crushed tomato topping or a regular pizza sauce topping which I might suggest. Overall this is a great place to eat and I highly recommend it.

Finally after like 10 years we make it here to try out the deep dish pizza! We tried the spinach artichoke dip first, very good!! We decided on the deep dish versus pan etc because that was the point lol....just know there are options. Keep in mind these take a good 30-40 minutes to bake but trust me, you won't be disappointed!! Flavors were on point! We went with a medium pepperoni, bell peppers, onions and sausage! I'd say most people will have one slice, at the most two! Its like a whole meal in a slice! Give this place a shot, if you like pizza or Italian food, im sure you'll like this place.

Best Chicago pizza in OC/LA hands down! This spot's got you covered with their epic Chicago-style pizza that's seriously next level. The crust is flaky, buttery, and perfectly crispy, and the tangy tomato sauce and toppings are fire. And, the cheese – is so good!! It's melty, gooey, and stretches for days, making every bite a cheese lover's dream. The vibes are chill, the service is on point, and you'll leave seriously satisfied. If you're all about that legit Chicago-style pizza in Orange County, this spot is a must-visit.

I came to try this place for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. Although you have to wait 40-45 minutes for your pizza to be ready (except for the thin crust pizza that is ready sooner), it is worth the wait. You can choose from any of their style pizzas or customize your own. The pizza was really good and the crust was so crispy, it had a really good flavor. The bbq wings were good too.

Small hidden gem located in Costa Mesa! We came from Moreno Valley, Ca. and it was definitely worth the drive! We got the kiddos a classic thin crust with pepperonis and cheese and it had a hearty amount of toppings in every slice! As for the hubby and I we started with a chicken and pesto panini to share, it was very flavorful and nicely toasted! We went with a Carnivore pan pie pizza and added bell peppers and onions. EVERY bite had a lot of a perfect layer of each topping! It was so fulfilling, we ended up only eating one slice of it! We will definitely be back again!!

First time here today and it was great! Never thought I'd be able to find deep dish outside of Chicago, but here we are! The crust was soooo delicious, and honestly isn't that the best part of the pizza anyway? The rest of it was really good too. Place was pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon but still, everything came out perfectly. Go here and be happy you did!

Chicago Style pizza done right- and in California!?!!!! I continue to search for the elusive Deep Dish that is worthy of the caloric intake and bravo to Rance's for achieving greatness in this regard. They offer 3 styles of crust - we tried the Pan and the Tavern cut and both were on point. The Tavern is good to enjoy as a pizza appetizer while waiting for the main event deep dish that takes 45+ minutes made to order. The tavern has a nice crisp crackery crust and the cheese and toppings are fresh. We prefer the pan style over the stuffed as the pan has the buttery crust which I love and crave. The pan did not disappoint and I purposely fasted that day so I could feast (warning - you may get super full - so plan accordingly). They have other appetizers but we didn't bother even consisting. Also a nice rotating craft beer menu to boot. Parking is street parking and can be a little competitive. I'll be back.

It’s so wonderful to have Chicago pizza in California ! 🍕🍕🍕🍕 The perfect square pieces of pizza make it easy to eat and the crust is delightful. As a New Jersey piece person.. one taste of their pizza was all that it took No more jersey pizza where the big pizza slices drizzle on your hands and burn your mouth. We love this pizza and bring it home for family and friends. Yum. Yum , crunchy fun The interior is nice but it’s just a bit crowded but it’s a friendly place. Enjoy every bite 🍕🍕🍕🍕
