Doria's Haus of Pizza Costa Mesa

hey pizza fanatic here! i’d stay clear of this joint if i were you, you can get better pizza from little caesar’s and i mean that whole heartedly… nothing met expectations, the dough was dry and flavorless and it just didn’t give the experience a PIZZA joint should. The cheese wasn’t appetizing either, with the dry dough combo it just leaves a bad taste in ur mouth. The bolognese barely even feels like ur eating a plate of spaghetti and it’s drowned in sauce when you open the container and for $50? this place simply isn’t worth your money. if you do choose to give this place a shot load up the toppings as much as you can lmao and don’t say i didn’t warn you about the dough, have a goodnight/day everyone god bless!

I got the 9" turkey and cheese sub to go. Fresh and good flavor. The inside is old-school vibe and the pizza I saw on tables looked GOOD. Service was quick and efficient. In the same parking lot is The Caffeine Club if you're inclined to take a sandwich there and get a drink and some computer work/studying done.

Great food and service! Tonight the pizza was so good and the pasta hot and fresh. The sausage was cooked just right and not over done like it usually is. Service was excellent! Fast, friendly and very accommodating. Love the dive vibe but the place needs to be deep cleaned! Walls are disgustingly dirty (don’t look!), tables, chairs, booths need to be wiped down and the bathrooms are so bad you don’t want to use them. Repairs need to be done throughout. Take those plastic placemats off the walls and update the decor a bit! This place could be a gold gem if it was cleaned up, repaired and put on a deep cleaning schedule. You are already winning when it comes to the food and service.

We celebrated a birthday with a group of 10 people. Food was great, service was great and very friendly. They make you feel very welcome and that's nice. Price was fantastic! We'll be back and recommend to all!!

My boyfriend and I wanted to a new pizza spot in the area and were not disappointed! It's such a cute old school spot. We walked in and were seated right away. It's feels cozy like you're right at home. The servers were very sweet, quick, and efficient! We walked here from our apartment, but there is a free parking lot that does get a little full, especially on the weekend. The pizza was bomb and everything is very affordable. We'll definitely be back to try more on the menu! Food review: *They have some pretty good beers on draft! They're also a great price.* Side of ravioli: (3/5) The ravioli wasn't the greatest, it was cold and pretty hard. The meat sauce on top was delicious though! Side Caesar salad: (4/5) It's a nice little side salad. Definitely simple just lettuce and dressing, but a little too much of it. The dressing itself is delicious!! Sausage and pepperoni pizza: (5/5) The pizza is simple, yet very flavorful. The crust is SOO good! Definitely worth ordering! Tiramisu: (3/5) This wasn't exactly the flavor I was expecting, but it wasn't too bad. It was moist and flavorful for what it was! Wouldn't order again.

Great food, great service. Old fashioned great pizza.

Short of the proper but rare Chicago style pizza (being a native of there, of course) this really could be the best pizza in California. So much so that my wife and I drove 30 miles - and probably past that many other pizza joints - just to eat here. Their pasta is very good as well with ample portions. I don't know if it's a daily option, but if available DO NOT pass up the opportunity to try the lemon marscapone (not 100% sure of the spelling) cake.

It's my favorite pizza place, been going here for 2 decades. Good pizza, good antipasto salad. The lg pizza is an xl size at other places and antipasto salad for 1 feeds 2 people, and for 2 feeds 4 people. Good value.

4.5 stars Pepperoni pizza was really good. Even the crust was very tasty. Hole in the wall atmosphere that we loved but a little bit dirty. Great service. We really enjoyed this place.

Love this old school neighborhood Jim Gm. The house special by far is my most favorite pizza. I love coming into this old school, small cozy restaurant and enjoying a great pizza or pasta or whatever. I'm in the mood for. You can't go wrong. Everybody is always friendly and the food is always good.

They do NOT skimp out on the cheese or pepperoni here. The dough is very thick, bready, and filling... they pack the pizza with so much cheese and pepperoni. It's so filling to the point where I feel stuffed and can't move. Maybe too doughy. This is not a light pizza at all. Super filling and fairly priced if you're looking for good tasting pizza that will keep you full. One large slice is solid and will keep you so full. The picture looks small, but the pizza is quite large... The sauce is very flavorful. I want to try their pasta some time!!! Might not want to get a large pizza again. It was like eating a thick bready breadstick with pizza toppings if you like that. Lol. This place is legit, such a nice homestyle flavor with their food.

The pizza here is so BOMB!!!!! Super cheesy and very generous on the pepperoni. Worth every cent. The spot inside is super cute and seems like a family owned place!!! The quality is 100% there and the location is convenient. I'll definitely be back as a regular and will be recommending this place to my friends and family.

Theyre absolutely nice here, but honestly find a new pizza maker or check the recipe please. The dough tastes awesome but for now help the toppings stick on please

Take out on this trip Sausage/Pepperoni pizza was great and the Antipasta for two was huge Haven't found better pizza in the HB and Costa Mesa area The counter person was courteous and competent Overall it was a great experience this time

Service was amazing and pizza was so good ! Shocked how good their cauliflower crust pizza was too

Nothing But Love For The Pizza Bread Large. Super Tasty Very Filling. Next Time Will Be The Antipasto. T

I do love the family business vibe here . The pizzas here is so good . There's Something about the dough . lol Thank you for the welcoming and friendly service

I wish we caught our servers name because he was so kind and attentive it made us want to leave a review! The prices are super reasonable and the food was really good. Would recommend for dine in or takeout. We loved the chef's salad and had a medium pepperoni pizza before we went to a concert, as well as a pitcher of beer, and our tab was under $50 before tip. We'll definitely be back to try some of the other offerings on the menu!

HOLY MOLY!!!! This pizza is amazing! I was mind blown at how good Doria's Haus of Pizza was. Absolutely delicious! Super cheesy and the pizza dough was fresh and had good flavor. The dough, pizza sauce and cheese came together harmoniously. This is one of the best pizzas. And might even be the best pizza in Orange County. No joke. The manicotti pasta was cheesy and had lots of ricotta cheese. This is your place if you love cheese! lol The manicotti with Alfredo sauce instead of marinara was creamy and cheesy! Loved it. The garlic bread was tasty. The side salad was pretty weak though- that's the only thing I would pass on. Everything else was excellent! 10/10 for this place!

The pizza is mind blowing good, just thinking about it makes me drool! Staff is super friendly and very very engaging, makes it feel more personal and provides a warmth which interesting enough meets the environment which is pretty cozy! The whole experience will make you want to induce a food coma then go home to sleep it off. If you're looking to make wholesome memories with people you cherish, here is the place to go!

Do not get the Alfredo for delivery. Never have I seen something is gross looking. Especially at 17$!

Normally I would give them four stars because I always believe there's room for improvement, that said this is definitely a 4+. First time visit, we wish we lived nearby, we'd go there weekly. Had the haus special pizza, we'll be raving about it for days.

Still five stars. The food, the service, and the old school unpretentious ambiance are all still great. I won't repeat what I've stated in previous reviews. Instead, I will make some observations in the nature of pro-tips: - The anti pasta salad is great, and the "for two" size is easily enough for four people. There were three of us, and there was plenty left for the to go box. - The pizza is, of course, great also. The medium size is easily enough for four people. Again, there were three of us, and there was plenty left over for the to go box. I washed my meal down with a couple Coors Lights as one does. Long live Doria's! Cheers!

Go here for the Best Lasagna Ever. I order with Meatballs or Sausage which is extra but so worth it !!! I always Order Antipasto Salad and Extra Garlic Bread too. It's the Best Meal Ever !!! I find the Service is Great too.

First time ordering from here, I ordered pizza bread, large, with pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomatoes. What a mess they gave it to me in foil. All the cheese was stuck to the foil. The bread is completely soggy and uneatable.

This is a great neighborhood pizza place. I like their personal size pizzas. My husband likes their chicken parm. After a long day it's nice to head over there grab a meal and a mug of beer.

Exactly as it was 23 years ago! Pizza was excellent the anti pasta salad was delicious and our server Christine was delightful! A wonderful Saturday lunch with family!

Always great tasting pizza from a clean establishment and a friendly staff. Never disappointed when getting pies from The Haus!!!

Doria's Haus of Pizza - A True Mom & Pop Delight Fresh, hand-made pizza crafted with love and served in a welcoming, family-run atmosphere--that's the magic of Doria's. It's the kind of local spot where quality meets heart, and every visit feels like coming home. Lots to enjoy here! Great food, great value, and that old-school charm you don't find just anywhere.

My bf and I shared a small pepperoni and garlic pizza. I liked how you can customize your pizza and add whatever toppings you want. The price depends on the amount of toppings and size of your pizza. Our total was around $19 which wasn't bad. I did enjoy the pizza but it was a bit too cheesy. As soon as I bit it, all of the cheese would immediately come off the pizza. It's not a bad thing but could be a bit annoying at times when I have to constantly put it back on my slice. Nonetheless, the service was great, I really liked our waiter he was very friendly and checked up on us often. The interior of the place was very rustic and old school which was super cool as well.

Not only is this place amazing for their pizza (all of the cheese) the waitresses are amazing at their jobs. I've been coming here for over 10 years, and it's still our family's go to pizza place. No frills, kinda dark, but all the flavor and great service. Don't listen to any of the negative reviews about the staff (you know how some people can be with their entitlement) and make sure you try it at least once; you won't regret it.

-Friendly staff -Good ambiance -Tasty Haus special pizza -Reasonable price -Server: Sean - best server in Costa Mesa I will be back for sure

Once again the food, service and atmosphere was outstanding! Kevin, our server was funny, very friendly, perfect in every way and amazing server could be. The food came out fresh, hot and consistently ever-so pleasing to my palette that I am already excited for the next visit so I can order one of my other favorite dishes on the menu. If it were up to husband we would dine here more often but since I make a lot of our dining choices and am a fan of variety we don't come as often. But it's difficult not to frequent the fabulous places like Doria's Haus of Pizza all the time!!!

Congratulations on the new website! I encourage everyone to use it and call you directly for TO-GO orders. Avoid the hassle and higher costs associated with delivery companies--enjoy delicious homemade food.

Not good, pizza soggy, no refill on drinks. Customer service bad, the girl waitress must of been in bad mood or something I don't know. Gave us only two napkins and we are family of 4. Never came back to check on us and then just left for the day without letting us know. Won't be back , first time and bad experience.

This review saddens me We have been loyal customers for more than 25 years. The food is great and the servers are wonderful. Normally, I would chock it up to one bad experience, but I'm irritated and hangry My review is based on an experience with a very unhelpful manager about a messed up order. The Door dash app only allows for WHEAT pizza crust. Have been told in the past to "call us and we will fix it" (it's a glitch) I called and was told "we will fix it" There was a question about the name, but was told it would be corrected. (Btw: the wheat crust is inedible.) When the manager came to the phone he told me the problem was with the name on the order and to contact Door Dash There was nothing he could do. Hey, mistakes happen. When they happen a good manager tries to make it right. In this case, nothing could be done. He "didn't feel comfortable" giving his name because he was concerned about his YELP review (really?) Most problems can be resolved with a "we messed up. How can we make it right?" This did not happen. I will be back as this is not the norm for Dorias. Just unfortunate management

If you want to feel like youre at home, not have to be overwhelmed by the bill and have really really good food, then come here. And if you dont come here, this locals friendly, huge pride of ownership restaurant will just fade away and that will be a shame.. Must haves - Meatballs, Antipasto salad And order more pizza than you're going to eat. The fresh crust and topping are made to reheat (oven only!!!! micro is sacrilegious) Service was outstanding and quick, ambiance was inviting and relaxing and it was a modestly busy thursday night, 80% of the tables were full... Great stuff...

Meatball sandwich, garlic bread, stuffed shells all have been good ! Ember a good server also..

The worst service I have ever received in my life. Went a few months ago and a girl with short brown hair and piercings was our server; she was SO RUDE and honestly mean! I love the food so I thought I would try again and go with my boyfriend, so went went last night. I thought the restaurant closed at 10 rather than 9 so we walked in 20 minutes before closing accidentally. We walked in to be "greeted" by the same short brown haired girl with piercings. The didn't say hi all she said starkly was "we close in 15 minutes." Did say we could eat still, so I turned around and left. Ended up going to Simply Fish next store that also closed within the same time frame and they smiled and said no problem at all, after we explained we would be quick and easy. I would rather eat bad food and be treated nicely than eat good food at Haus of Pizza and be treated like dirt. I don't know how the company lets her continue to treat people like that. It blows my mind. Makes me sad she's allowed to do that, is not right, it's cruel mean behavior and they obviously are in favor of it. Don't go there unless you like to feel less than and like a waste of time.

When I'm in the area I'm always going to drop in for some lasagne. So cravable and the staff is always friendly.

this place is 5 for many reasons. One nothing beats the price! Split a pizza portion for one and the AMAZING lasagna and it came to about $14 a person and we are both stuffed. This is a hole in the wall type of place, a bit dingy but service and food is great. The lasagna is a MUST try this is by far the best dish i've had here. Secondly is the pizza which is solid. Things i wasn't a fan of is the salad and garlic bread, but i can forgive. The service is always great. People were very nice. I am a huge fan of comfort foods over looks and this place definitely is good food that'll make you happy leaving.

I love this restaurant so much, they are my favorite Italian restaurant, I've ever been to in my life. Their Minestrone Soup, is top 3 for sure, it is so flavorful and refreshing, and it tastes like it's made from scratch it is awesome. Their Panzarotti is the best I've ever had in my entire life, it's so good I never had one until I went there and it is to die for, it's that good you have to try it. Their Lasagna is outstanding and it never disappoints, it tastes like it's homemade, and it came from Grandmas Kitchen, it's absolutely fabulous you have to try it at least once because it's mind blowing. Their service is always excellent, they're always attentive, and caring. If you love Italian Food, you have to try this place because it's gonna change the way you think about Italian Food.

Pizza is good and at a decent price. Quick service. The Special Haus pizza is my favorite. The dough is on thick side. I prefer thinner.

We ordered the house special and was very satisfied with the pie and value. One large pizza is enough to feed a family. I've been here a few times and its a nostalgic hole in the wall kinda place. Service was excellent, we were very happy with everything.

This place is gem! Talk about your hole in the walls. It's small but mighty. Their sausage and pepper plate was simple but delicious! I loved the thick crust on their pizza! Service was great!

Came here yesterday night with my bf cause it looked good, but after waking up this morning I had a nasty stomach cramp, threw up, and have all the signs/symptoms of food poisoning. I haven't gotten food poisoning in a while, but I should've known the food didn't look very fresh and the inside was super outdated and didn't look like it was kept up to par. I'm suffering because of this place. Do NOT eat here unless you want severe food poisoning.

Took my kids for pizza and lasagna. Sauce tasted too sour and the pizza was overly cheesy and under cooked dough. The kids didn't even touch the pizza. The lasagna was weird and the meatballs were tasteless. Service and the tiramisu were the stars of the show, wish u could give it a better review. The restaurant felt dirty- the floors and tables were sticky.

I've been dining here with my family since I was 7 years old. 20 years later, still my favorite pizza spot of all time. I'm not exaggerating, I don't know what it is but nothing is quite like it. Homey and comforting. Staff is warm and friendly. Nostalgia never tasted better!

Family dinner feeds 5 or 6. The prices are great and the food is even better. Enjoy dinner here. Spaghetti is sensational.

I love this place. Simple, nice tavern like plus...the main thing...the main course, the pizza. great pies. The crust is awesome and toppings just give it that edge over the competition.

Can you say yum!!!! I had a pizza for one with cheese, jalapeños, basil & garlic and it was scrumptious!! Nice and garlicky and warm. The location seems super small when you walk in but the have a section on the left side with more tables. So my party of 6 sat there. The other side is kinda cramped looking so I was glad to be on the other side. My friend ordered an order of garlic bread too to share with the table and it was so good! Can't go wrong with garlic bread. Now the interesting thing. When you walk into the ladies restroom, you see a sink and a toilet. But then there's a stall with a toilet. So the first toilet is in the open - kinda like how you'd expect to see a urinal! Found that interesting; strange yet interesting. My friends ordered the lasagna and loved it so I'll have to try it. Doria's is a must go!!!

An old favorite and it's so great to discover the pizza is just as good or better than 30 years ago. Our server was kind, professional and attentive. The extra plates and napkins and keeping our drinks filled is always appreciated! We had the antipasto salad and the Hais special pizza. The salad is loaded wirh everything delicious and the dressing is delicious. The pizza was hot with fresh ingredients and was cooked perfectly! It was not busy and we are looking forward to returning.

Always good. Anti pasta is the best. Service with a smile makes you want to return, that is the start of great customer service.

I did takeout but the place looked pretty nice. The entrance was a bit confusing to me at night as it's on the side while the front of the restaurant is all floor to ceiling windows. I ordered their haus pizza. The taste was ok but it's just quite salty and oily to me. My throat got very dry afterwards.

Pizza was delicious, I shared a medium veggie pizza with my husband. Staff was friendly and worked well as a team. This pizzeria has been around a long time therefore it has an old school pizzeria feel. I like it!

Always a great pizza! This place is probably the best pizza in OC and great pasta and sandwiches as well with reasonable prices.
