Artisan sourdough pizza, unique toppings, housemade ranch, beer & wine
"You’ll be leaving Newport Beach for this one, but trust us—Folks is worth the five-minute drive across the freeway to Costa Mesa. This laidback pizzeria at The Camp has walls covered with love notes, a patio with glowing tents, an always-packed dining room where groups gather over trays of beautifully charred pizza. Both the red and white pies are excellent, with blistered, bubbled-up crusts that crunch when folded. The dough has airy, honeycomb-like bubbles with a nice chew, and the traditional-leaning toppings are generously sprinkled so you’ll get them in each bite. The crust is half the experience here, so make sure to dip, chew, and repeat in the herby, housemade ranch." - cathy park

"Since Folks Pizzeria opened in 2019, pizza enthusiasts have continued to flock to the open, rustic space near the back of the Camp plaza in Costa Mesa. The neighborhood pizzeria specializes in artisan-style pizzas that aren’t necessarily tied to a specific style or method of preparation. The menu boasts both red and white sauce pies featuring a slew of ingredients that aren’t usually found on pizzas.The fennel sausage pizza is one of the most popular, while the potato pizza is a more distinct white sauce option." - Cathy Park
"Folks Pizza owner Joey Booterbaugh is a longtime student of dough fermentation. The stunning pies are in a category all its own. Folks Pizza’s creations are sturdy wide-rim pies that keep all ingredients intact including a classic pepperoni or fennel sausage pizza, or one with guanciale, basil, fontina, provolone, pecorino romano, and olive oil with white sauce." - Eater Staff
