My husband and I had a date night at Pi Social last weekend, and we had a mixed experience. When we first arrived, it's was PACKED. I highly recommend you get a reservation before going. Luckily, we were able to find two seats together at their sizable bar. We were served fairly quickly by a bartender and got two cocktails. Both of these cocktails were tasty and well balanced. We probably didn't order for another 20 minutes or so. When we did, we ordered the garlic knots and two pizzas--the pesto chicken and Temecula. We waited probably another 20 minutes before receiving the garlic knots. We awkwardly watched as the server with the knots came out of the kitchen and went around the bar, asking patrons if they were theirs, until he finally took them back to the kitchen. Our bartender was kind enough to retrieve them herself. The knots were delicious, warm and flavorful. In this time, we ordered more drinks--it was slower the second time around. I got a watermelon ranch water, which was very good and seemed to be popular. Probably 30 minutes after the knots were served, a waiter came to our spot with two pizzas. To our disappointment, only one of them was one we ordered (pesto chicken). The other was something with pepperonis, which the server pawned off to the gentleman beside us, despite the fact he didn't order it either. My husband waited for me to get my pizza before he started eating, but it was just taking two long. After 15 minutes, I told him to eat. By the time my pizza arrived, he had finished his pizza. It took almost 90 minutes in all from the time I ordered to the time my pizza actually arrived. To their credit, the pizza was delicious. The flavor combination was unique, and the pizza was cooked perfectly.
Overall, this place has a lot of positives--really good food, a cool location and atmosphere, nice bartenders, and good drinks. But unfortunately, it was very obvious that there are organization issues, specifically for table numbers and the kitchen wait times. I would go here again, but I would recommend that customers be prepared for a long dinner. Do not go here if you're in a rush. Even people waiting for pick up orders seemed to be waiting a long time. This place has so much potential, but really needs to work on internal logistics. I hope they get it worked out in the coming weeks, as I would love to take friends and family here in the future.
