The Pizza Press, Costa Mesa CA

What a rip-off! If you want a full-size pizza, this is not the place! If you want a good tasting pizza, this is not the place. If you want a good, friendly vibe, this is not the place! Such a let down!

This place is a whole in the wall pizza place. Customer service sucks, out of toppings as I stepped to them and ordered instead of apologizing guy got sarcastic half of pizza was burnt and thin crust did not help the solution, garlic bread taste better than the pizza and it’s way too many employees there that are not alert or helpful, there’s like 7 employees when it should only be 3 and they forgot to hand me all my sauces too 2bbq sauces and red sauce never again.

Great pizza with great ingredients. Only thing is if you get fresh basil they throw the whole thing on there, leaf, stem and all.

Had a really bad experience couple nights ago. The employee did not make the dough right. They were out of lots of toppings. Some of the toppings were stale and therefore the pizza did not taste good. One of The soda machine was not working. For whatever reasons they did not take cash. They started sweeping, taking chairs away and taking our trash while we were dining.

Some of these employees act like the ingredients they are adding come out of their paycheck. If you ask for more they tell you that you can just “double it” after putting 3 pieces of pepperoni.

It’s dinner time and there is exactly 1 employee working the whole shop. Taking orders, building the pizzas, charging the customers at the register. So everything is taking 3x the length it should. The guy is working real hard, definitely not fair that he has to do all this and keep the restaurant clean all by himself. Also the soda machine has been “out of order” for months.

I want to like this place so badly but every time I come, the staff are awful! I walked in today to pickup an order I'd placed several hours ago. When I came in, someone was stocking napkins, stared at me, and went back to what he was doing. Didn't say a word then finally made his way over, started at me some more until I finally had to approach him. I told him I was picking up an order and he had no idea what I was talking about. Checked the system and said oh, it didn't print out. With service like this, no wonder this store is always empty. Sorry to say that too because it's generally pretty good pizza.

Gross environment, rude employees, and the soda machine has been "Out of Order" for the last year (More like "Lazy Employees don't want to fix it"). It's no wonder the place is a ghost town, who'd want to eat there?
