Gina's Pizza & Pastaria

My favorite pizza spot in the OC. I'm not quite a pizza connoisseur, but I know what pizza I like and could argue it is objectively very good. I truly love how this place allows you to customize your slice however you like. My go to is always a sausage and jalapeno slice--absolutely delish. The staff are incredibly friendly. I think the owner is usually always there, too? I can always strike up a friendly conversation myself, but the staff usually does too. It's a quaint little place off of PCH. You can get lucky with street parking, but there is a parking space right behind it. It's 15 minutes free and $4 after, if I'm not mistaken. I enjoyed dining in here, and also taking the pizza to go. Reheats well on a stovetop, air fryer, or even in the oven!

This place has been on my radar for years now and I finally made it in. I should have made it over sooner.Excellent lunch specials and great daily deals too. Served plenty and not too hard on the budget. Friendly service and cool lil location. The food was excellent, Ive been 3 times now. Spaghetti and meatballs was a huge hit. They have great meatballs. Next up I did the pastrami sandwich with a salad. RASTA salad!! (Mix of traditional and pasta). FIRE!! (Yay Rasta Fire)!! LOL Nice to find good prices on great Italian food. Ill be back soon.(Being next to my new favorite coffee spot is a HUGE bonus)!!

Great place to get your pizza fix! Gina's is a fast casual pizzeria (order at the counter and they call you up when your order is ready) that sells pizzas, pastas, and salads. They also offer pizza by the slice and their specialty is their giant slices! All are made to order, too! Plenty of seating inside and it's a comfortable/casual atmosphere. I would definitely return again!

Placed a DoorDash order with the fam that was here from out of town. I've only been to the one in Newport, and maybe it's because it was a delivery but it didn't feel quite as fresh. Fam is from NY so you know they are quite picky but they still enjoyed got the godfather

Locals here. Best pizza in the area. We eat here like 3 times a month. Ranch is insanely good. Salads never disappoint. Quality ingredients. Just a solid Italian pizza spot.

All my friends that live in the area swore by Gina's. My wife and I traveled from the Los Angeles area to try it. You order at the counter and the inside of the building gives you a real Italian vibe but it was a beautiful day so we ate outside. The crust, toppings, cheese and sauce all come together to create a delicious slice of pizza. The service was great and the staff were very helpful in helping us choose a pizza (they recommended the Godfather). I was not disappointed and will definitely come back for more when I am in the area.

Pizza was made incorrectly. When I called to address the error their only solution was to give me a 25% discount on my NEXT order or for me to drive back across town to pick up another pizza. I made the commute (30 minutes round trip) and the pizza was not ready when I arrived. Overall poor service from the female working the phones. Do not recommend.

My dad follows that barstool sports guy so we decided to order Gina's for the first time on fight night. Ordered the house special pizza xl for delivery (3.4 miles away). They told us it would be about a 45 min wait, it was delivered hot and right on time. Unfortunately the quality didn't match the prompt timing. I hate to use the word awful but it definitely was not great. Seemed undercooked and flavor just was not there. Wish we would have just ordered round table. We also ordered 2 of their sugar cookies because they said it was the only desert they ordered in house, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it might have been the worst cookie we've ever ordered. Glad we tried something new but I wont be ordering from them again.

Delicious! So good, hot and ready on time first time in the area Will be back Forsure

Absolutely loved this place. Pizza, meatballs, and antipasto salad FROM scratch!! Who does that? Will definitely be back. So authentic. We had the Hawaiian pizza, antipasto salad and side of meatballs. Oh my. Just fabulous! I am in town for the air show and wanted authentic Italian. I definitely found it!!
