Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I love pizza and I love service. Ordered for my daughter and myself. She had chicken strips and I had a pizza. Combo on one side cheese on the other. First it took an hour to get the good. The delivery person was very nice. That's why I gave 2 stars. The pizza was horrible. Cheese was thick and tasteless and the crust was wet and hard. Sauce tasted like prego out of the can. Not impressed. Chicken strips were frozen kind. Very disappointing. I would never order again. Sorry. Not world class. Change the name.

Our favorite pizza place when we stay at Pelican Hill or Marriott Villas. We ate in last time and they have Mexican Coca Cola in the bottles - nice touch! Tastes so much better than USA coca cola. Pizza is great and so is the garlic bread.
(5)Greg F.
I've been here many time because it's convenient and the pizza is pretty good. I've only tried the pre-made slices so I can't really comment on the other food there. The slices have a thick doughy crust and are good but aren't anything that special... the ingredients seem like those you'd find at any regular pizza place. The only problem I have with this place is the price. For two slices of pepperoni and a ranch it comes out to almost $10. I know the rent there is expensive but that still seems like a lot for some dough, marinara sauce, cheese, and a few pepperonis on top.
(4)denise B.
The staff is so AMAZING! I am both a home(delivery) and dine in customer. The quality of the ingredients (Generous toppings!)and service and great attitudes makes me feel like family! This is definitely my FAVORITE restaurant in the Newport Coast area because the food is so great and I appreciate the great service!
(5)Dominic P.
Decent pizza, over priced, horrible customer service. Ordered pizza for a work meeting. Called 90 minutes before and was assured it would be delivered 15 minutes before the meeting. Apparently they didn't have a driver on the schedule, but didn't bother to call me back and let me know. Pizza arrived 30+ minutes late. Neither the person answering the phone, driver, or manager seemed to care.
(1)Don M.
Picked up an XL pepperoni pizza for movie night. Regular crust with extra sauce. A simple but perfect classic! Well done, lads!! We'll be back...soon.
(5)Mrs W.
Fresh ingredients and delicious gluten free pizza crust that is amazing! Prices are fair too and friendly staff.
(4)Jim H.
DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU DON'T MIND DIRTY FILTHY USED / UNCLEAN PLACES. This place is HORRIBLE- the female manger lady was very rude and didn't even give me a moment to explain what I was unhappy about. Take your pizza and beat it was the MO. Take your weak crappy pizza you stuck up B*^t&%$ AND SHOVE IT.
(1)Sean R.
This place always come through for me when I have a last minute hankering; they are not cheap but when your craving ZA they listen and make it the way YOU WANT IT! Great staff - delivery crew is awesome - please tip them well...because they deserve it! Thanks you N1stClassZaaa! Pizza was great again tonight...mucho gracious!
(4)Nathan G.
Pizza tastes ok. Atmosphere is fine. However the value for your dollar is horrible. It's the most expensive slice of pizza. At nearly nine dollars for one slice and a small side salad you are better off buying the ingredients yourself and baking it on the hood of your car. Not to mention only two types of pizza by the slice. Over it.
(2)Norma L.
Bad service. Waited 30 minutes for the pizza because they forgot to put in my ticket. When I finally asked, they said a couple more minutes and they had not even put it in the oven yet.
(2)Kelly R.
I'm an Italian girl from Jersey. With that being said my standard/expectation for pizza is high. This is your run of the mill California pizza. Beware of the cheese. It's extremely thick and my son has gagged it up. Definitely need to chew it up carefully.
(3)Brian S.
My uncle & I stopped uin here while my mother & aunt shopped at Vaun's. This is a very casual place with wonderful service by the entire family. I ordered a medium kicken chicken to go For $20.55; not bad. The crust is very lite & crispy with tender chicken, fresh mozerella, a wonderful blend of seasonings, fresh mushrooms, & garlic; pretty good though perhaps it could have used more seasonings & garlic for more of a kick. But, I would definitely return again & get athat as well as other items. They are very patient if you have questions & cannot make up your mind. As far as dining in, it is not too big or small with nice tables & a self service soda machine; cozy best discribes it. They also have a few tables outside & delivery. So, for excellent pizza at reasonable prices in a clean casual friendly atmosphere, Newport Coast cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys.
(4)April S.
Closest pizza place to my house but I still drive out to Johnny's at the Bluffs because I don't like First Class Pizza. The pizza is super thick and their side dishes aren't edible. I tried the chicken wings and potato wedges, I threw most of it away! It isn't the worst I've ever had, but I certainly wouldn't go back. I guess I have high pizza standards.
(2)Vic M.
Love that they have gluten free pizza. They're very generous with the quantity of toppings they load on the pizza. Fresh and good ingredients.
(5)Ashley H.
We got delivery and the pizza was not worth the 45 minute wait. We ordered the kick n chicken. .. very bland and dry. Certainly not kick'n. Wet also got the combo. A little more flavor and tolerable to eat but not the best in town and definitely not worth the high price per pie. Certainly won't go out of our way to eat there again.
(2)Michelle M.
I have fallen fast and hard for First Class Pizza. My friend had a Christmas party over the weekend and to balance out the alcohol, she ordered 6 large pizzas from First Class. The pizzas came piping hot! The pizzas looked absolutely delicious and tasted even better. We had the meat lovers and the vegetarian. The meat lovers came with a WHOLE bunch of meat (see picture for bacon, ham, pepperoni, sausage goodness) and the ingredients were all fresh. They are super generous with the amount of ingredients that they put on and you can really taste the quality and love that was put into the pizza. I'm not a big lover of tomatoes on pizza, but WOW! Their tomatoes on the vegetarian was absolutely fresh and juicy and complemented the pizza so well. I loaded my plate up with 2 pizza slices and they were fatty and THICK! Finally, a pizza place who UNDERSTANDS my love for food- LOTS of food! I will be ordering from First Class Pizza the next time! I can't stay away from my pizza crush :)
(5)Holden S.
Pizza was decent at best and the lady behind the counter wasn't nice and couldn't muster a smile. The prices are outrageous! I went there because they have free pizza to us at an event at our community and I thought I should try it. Probably never again. I would go to Z-Pizza or get a fun Mexican pizza next door at Sharkys.
(2)Somer S.
Legit shittiest pizza I have ever had in my life. On the cheese pizza the cheese has to be about 2 inches thick. I kid you not when I say they have like 30 employees which is stupid because no one eats here because it sucks.
(1)Frank J.
Great pizza. Great service. Great environment. Mom and pop shop. The food is gourmet so for the taste and quality you get, it has ro be on the more expensive side.
(5)Joe S.
Was my first time here; Saturday afternoon and no other patrons eating. The girl at the counter took my order and completely forgot the salad I ordered with pizza. I had to walk up to reminder her and I asked for no olives. Of course she brought olives. The pizza comes out and it's nothing spectacular. Pretty much a Ragu like sauce with a lot of cheese, thick with a tough consistency. You find yourself pulling the cheese off to make sure you don't eat too much. Right out of the oven, the pizza seemed almost lukewarm, very odd. As we left, 3 people working (all in their early 20's), made no attempt to thank us or say bye as they watched us leave. This place needs to step up their customer service badly.
(2)Bobby B.
You like pizza then you will love this pizza! Italian pizza in Newport! Good Italian Pizza!
(3)B J.
pizza is pretty good! but!-- way too expensive for what you get. little pizza for $20. are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 star to offset the madness!

My wife and I were on a holiday weekend in Newport, and were looking for a nice little local flavor at lunch. In a grocery store shopping center, amid the boutique clothing stores was First Class Pizza. Something we noticed even before walking in - this place does a fair amount of business. You'll find plenty of options at First Class Pizza. That being said, my wife and I needed something easy that would please both of us and our 4 year old son, so we got a medium BBQ Chicken pizza. It was a fair size, and tasted good. One complaint: we found a hair on one of the slices that wasn't any of our hair color. The tables and items on it were both a little sticky when we sat down, but it wasn't terrible. And while I'm talking about the set-up, there was an empty salad bar cart placed in the middle of the floor, somewhat between the front door and register. It was an odd placement, but looked like it was on wheels, so I'm not sure if it was there in transport or from an earlier event. Really, I have few complaints about First Class Pizza, even if we didn't order hair on our pizza. The pizza was good, the soda refills were free, and the price was in-line with most other local pizza places.
(3)Bee C.
The pizza is amazing! Everything is so fresh and they put a lot of cheese and are generous with the toppings you get your money's worth.The best pizza is the spicy southwestern who knew honey mustard would be good on pizza?The service is also very good friendly staff a little pricey but well worth it in comparison to their competitors.
(5)Aria M.
I used to like this place that was 5 years ago when they actually cared about what they put on their pizza. Step forward today I'm in college and home for summer and not only hungry for decent pizza, but also a way to make a little extra money before I go back in fall. I go to the shopping center and see they are hiring. Cool I bring in my resume and cover letter since that's what you got to do. Needless to say I give full flexibility. Long story short I don't get the job because management and owners discriminate based on last names or some other crap. Look here you! If you're going to say your hiring and discriminate go to hell! I don't appreciate the way you do business and you've lost loyal customers because you don't care what goes on your pie. You also take a heck of a long time to deliver too. If I get contacted by someone from your establishment I'm getting my legal team and going after you! Freedom of speech and you guys sign a contract with Yelp to not harass or ask patrons to modify their reviews. If you have a problem with my review learn to accept criticism when it's dished out and not bug Yelp to have it removed.
(1)Chris K.
We are gluten free and they have a very good gluten free crust. Prompt delivery. Nice, clean cut driver. We ordered Sweet Pig ( Hawaiian) and a Combo (works-ish). Very good. Plenty of cheese. Fresh ingredients. Great sausage.
(5)Allison D.
The garlic bread is amazing!! Would have been happy with just that. Love their pizza crust!
(4)William I.
Totally exceeded my expectations. Quality poofy crust in the pizza. Their lettuce description on the salad had me a little worried but it was all fresh romaine. And since we got it to go they kept the hot chicken, artichoke hearts and tomatoes separate. Awesome.
(5)Max P.
Excellent salads, killer pizza, and a plethora of other italian options to keep you full and happy. Love this place! Great place to stop by and watch sports.
(4)Johnny G.
Meatball sub was very good. Pizza tasted very bland. Service was good.
(3)Nick L.
Decent pizza, generous with fresh toppings, horrible in-store service.
(3)Hello K.
They do have some amazing pizza, with probably the best crust ever. Its thick and pillowy and soft inside with a nice crunch outside. I tried Round Table for the first time the other day and it seemed like a soul-less knock off of First Class Pizza. They are somewhat similar, but the crust and sauce here put round table to shame. I always make sure to order a side of marinara for dipping because it's yummy. I took off a star because it is sometimes inconsistent and when you're paying over $30 for two small pizzas to be delivered, you do not want it to be soggy or undercooked. *And forget about ordering fresh tomato as a topping if you are having the pizza delivered, because for some reason it forms a soggy puddle under the pizza and that's no bueno. Another negative is that the guy who usually takes the order over the phone has a very thick accent and it's very easy to have a miscommunication.
(4)Rene C.
I was in the area a few Saturdays ago and in between my mid day meeting, I was starving. I had a buddy with me and we noticed this place only because of the name. My buddy is Indian, mind you, so "First Class" is a very Indian thing to say. We gave this place a shot and we were not disappointed. The Pizza was huge, cheesy, and quite delicious! I got the salad bar as well, which I was also pleased with. Really, what do you expect for 7 or 8 bucks??? My money was very well spent here. Although I may never come back (due to the distance), I will have fond memories of my random Saturday affair with this Pizza joint.
(5)Betty L.
This is my favorite pick up pizza in the area. Their staff is always super friendly. I always get the zesty italian pizza. It's topped with these zesty peppers that give a kick to your palate that makes it all worth it. I can eat a whole half of a large pizza by myself when I eat here. When you pick up a slice of pizza, I love how it's so cheesy you have to actually break it apart. YUMMMMM
(5)Idean S.
I definitely miss Joe's Pizza that used to be on San Miguel, but this place is solid. Good pizza and the cinnamon desert, which is basically pizza with cinnamon on it, is great.
(5)Ying S.
This is one of the worst pizza I've had in a while. The pizza tastes old. Cheese tastes chewy like gum. I'm surprised because I expected better quality from a place that's located in this plaza. You are better off ordering from Domino's or Costco, at least they up keep to certain standards.
(1)Donald S.
The voices in my head told me to "go forth my son, get a slice for lunch" a few days ago. I argued with voices for a while...I nearly convinced two of them to let me go to Arnie's for a corned beef sandwich! But in the end, the loudest and most strident voice won. It was little bit like having a CNN panel discussion in my head! I said to myself, "OK, then where"? The voices said "not our problem, buddy boy...we just decide what...you figure out the where". Yelp helped me find FCP in my neighborhood...close enough to ride my bike, so that was nice! And though reviews of FCP are mixed, I am well aware that opinions as to what constitutes great Italian peasant food vary greatly...some like sweet sauce and thick crust, some like crushed tomatoes and house made mozzarella on a thin and blistered crust. Me, well, I like pizza...and with the exception of something out of the freezer case with "Totino's" on the package, I can get along reasonably well with everyone on their choice of pie. I think that is actually the first step to the de-balkanization of our great nation...respect for others pizza choices. Or not. At any rate, I rolled up on the trusty Diamondback, ordered a slice of pepperoni and a cheese slice (I needed to have a sampling in order to really figure "what is what"), sat outside and enjoyed the view...of the parking lot. So let me start with the good at FCP...they are nice people, they have a nice and clean little pizza joint and they sell big slices (I could only eat about 1/2 of each slice...one would be plenty). The slices are very much in the foldable, "NY Style" tradition; with grease dripping and all that...you need to hold your slice with your paper plate or you will wear the pizza the rest of the day. There was no "bad" at FCP...but the FCP pizza wasn't really something that I would get again...greasier and with sweeter sauce than I like in a pie...but that's just me...not really my cup of tè.. One other thing that I noticed in passing...as I was ordering, the staff was in the process of pre-making dozens of pizza's...I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I generally prefer that my pizza be made when I order it, not in the early afternoon for later baking...again, my personal preference. After I ate, the voices started in on me again..."why did you take us there, it was so greasy"..."get us some ice cream"..."we don't want to ride the bike any more, call Carin to come get us"..."take us to Zov's for dinner"..."let's go play golf"! They're like children.
(3)Adam B.
Had a small pepperoni pizza and it was enjoyable. Not the best atmosphere but a good meal overall.
(4)T W.
Eh it's okkkk. Salads aren't good, nothing tastes homemade (I appreciate a house dressing). Stay away from the buffalo chicken. Margarita is good, crust is soft and sweet. But I'm from the north east and our pizza is crunchy not mushy and just all in all way better than this joint. However, staff is very friendly and they do deliver. So I unfortunately will probably eat here again some day.
(3)Justin B.
Cinnamon Pizza, Cinnamon Pizza, Cinnamon Pizza. You've already kicked your diet to the curb if you're thinking about ordering from this place or at least somehow justified making today a cheat day. So since you're at peace with it "going straight to your thighs", order the Cinnamon Pizza for dessert. It's worth the extra 5 miles you'll have to do on the treadmill tomorrow morning. The pizza, it's alright. Not the best ever, but definitely a decent slice. The buffalo wings are pretty good too. But seriously, cinnamon pizza.
(3)Hellscaper L.
This place is...okay. I only ever order for two reasons: 1. Don't want to cook 2. No other pizza nearby It's pretty bad that I have to put the soggy pie on the stove for a few minutes, just to get a crispy crust. Their salads are pretty good though, I always get one and eat a grip of it, even their small salads are big enough to split among two people with leftovers. Place is a bit pricey for the end result. Staff is very nice and their delivery guys are all pretty chill and don't lag, so that bumps the place up a star.
(3)Sid A.
As the local pizza place in the Newport Coast area, I was skeptical that this place could live up to the best pizzas from nearby eateries (BJ's, Z Pizza, etc). Turns out I need not have been so hesitant...this place is fantastic. It all starts and ends with great quality food, and this place delivers that in spades. There are pizza slices that are ready for take out, but unless they're fresh order yourself a fresh pie. You won't be disappointed...the pizza's sauce is unbelievably flavorful, and the quality of the crust and cheese are home runs. The menu goes beyond pizza, and a few items must be highlighted. First, check out their hot sandwiches, namely the Meatball...it is by far the best hot sandwich I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and try it sometime, and ask them to use the pizza cause instead of the marinara sauce (both are good, but the pizza sauce is incredible). The lunch specials come with a salad bar which my girlfriend loves because of the variety. For dessert, their Cinna-Pizza is generous and a perfect ending to an excellent meal. The customer service is excellent...Tino happens to have worked here for years and he is always friendly and willing to answer any questions or give great suggestions. The staff always gives a friendly greeting every time people walk in. This place is pricey for pizza/sandwiches, at least 50% more than competing pizza places in the area. However, once you've given this place a try I think you'll not only enjoy the quality of food, but also the friendly service. Try the lunch specials for great deals. Overall, this place is highly recommended to anyone visiting the Newport area.
(5)Tony K.
Stopped in for dinner and we got the 'Hot' sandwiches , they were good sized and fresh and really good! Nice and friendly service too ! We will stop again when passing thru.
(4)Raymond H.
Good but not great pizza c+, ordered a deep dish cheese and a thin crust pepperoni and both were average. Dough is not more than average, pizzas are very very greasy. Salads b+ Great and super friendly counter help.
(3)Gustav D.
I've been here a few times in the last month or so and I haven't been disappointed! Being from Chicago and all I tend to be a bit judgmental of pizza sometimes. I can honestly say that they measure up! Nice soft crust and tons of cheese with toppings all up in there make for one delicious pizza! A bit on the greasy side but c'mon, that's what good pizza is all about! I've had a few pizza's from First Class and the toppings have always been great, all sorts of freshness! The ordered pizza's are the way to go, I had a couple pre-made slices for lunch once and they were good but not quite the same greatness as the fresh made pizzas I've had! I also happened to try the wings last time I stopped in and was quite pleasantly surprised! I'm normally a bigger fan of boneless wings but I decided to make an exception and boy am I glad I did! Great sauce, just spicy enough to remind you that your eating wings but nothing overwhelming, yum! All in all though it was the staff that really puts this place over the edge. They all seemed super friendly and welcoming. From what I've gathered stopping by from time to time the main chef changed before I started coming here so maybe that's a source of some of the sore reviews (can't find any other reason)? I love this place and would recommend it to anyone in the area of passing through!
(5)Richard S.
First class used to be one of our favorites. Had it recently for the first time in a while (probably over a year ago). I am not sure what happened, but they have gone completely downhill. Both the cheese and the sauce were barely edible. None of the four kids could even finish one piece. I will give it a try again in a few months to see if it was a fluke, but if it is anything like what is sitting in my regregerator right now, we are pretty much done with pizza here.
(2)Molly I.
I am so sad to have to do this, but my Fiance just called and got the rudest service ever. The guy who picked up the phone left the phone on the counter for 5 minutes. Then, when my fiance called back, the idiot pretended not to hear him! WTFREAK!! we loved this place... :( __________________________________________________Â_____ We get delivery from First Class at least once a week. Their pizza is so delicious and their service is great. They did forget our soda once, but have never ever forgotten again. My all-time faves! I had to revise my review, just to address those East Coasters.... You're in freaking Orange County...do you really expect to get authentic New York style pizza? Get real and get off your high horse. Or go live on East Coast, no Californian wants you here. Honestly, what Californian talks down on California in any respect? "Westside when we ride."
(1)Rory M.
Best delivery pizza I've ever had. Only after having First Class did I realize how much Z Pizza sucks ass. This place converted me and I'm never going anywhere else. Perfect combination of puffy crust, crispy dough underneath the cheese, and they definately do not skimp on the onions or green peppers or whatever the hell you want on there.
(5)Robert H.
Pretty dang good pizza. I recommend the Zesty and Combo Pizza as their toppings are plentiful and tasty. Will be venturing over to this place again when in the mood for pizza.
(4)Ian J.
Third class, really. Still 10x better than Gina's.
(2)Vince L.
Good pizza and typical salads, etc. Nothing to call home about but a bit above average. Prices were a little on the higher end but seems typical for this area!
(3)Chelsea C.
I love Sus the owner. He is so amazing. He really treats his customers like they are one of a kind and always tries to go above and beyond the normal customer service you get from a pizza place. Everything about their food is to die for. I could eat my own weight in ravioli's or chicken fettucini. And lets not even get into the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, my god man! Oh yeah, then there are pizzas. Chicken delight is to die for. Ultimate Thin Crust visits me in my dreams. Just thinking about a slice of plain cheese or pepperoni from First Class makes the idea of other pizzas just disgusting There just need to be more of them.
(5)Kristopher V.
Decent pizza. Wasn't good, wasn't bad. Tried it with Italian Sausage and artichoke hearts, which both made the pizza taste better. I also ordered a cinnamon pizza which was pizza dough with a gooey cinnamon topping and icing. The sweet topping was delicious, but there wasn't enough of it and the dough was too thick and bland. I ended up eating the middle and discarding the pizza crust, something I never do.
(2)Christopher C.
Lemme put it this way. The place has AMAZING pizza. However, to counter the taste of the food, they have some pretty outrageous prices. Most of the items are priced as if you were at a movie theater. Now, you have to consider this -- you are in Newport Beach. Since when has food, salons, and other commodities ever been well priced in Newport Beach? Yep, I thought so.
(5)Kelly T.
I had my misgivings about going here. First Class, Really? Methinks thou dost protest too much. I always say, if someone has to claim they're "classy", they're not. And the place looked like any old generic pizza place where they heat the pizzas under a lamp and if you order a slice too late in the day, you get a reheated piece of rubber. These were my negative thoughts ok? And then I ate the pizza, which seriously was phenomenal. The crust was perfect in my estimation: flaky and cracked on the outside, doughy once you take a bite. I will definitely be returning.
(4)Tad B.
This place has the best pizza I've run across so far, and I'm quite picky. Excellent crust, really crisp fresh vegetable toppings in generous proportions, great tomato sauce, and delicious seasoning. So many pizza places make plain boring pies that taste like their individual toppings. First class pizza ingredients and seasonings really tie together nicely for an outstanding blend of flavors.
(5)J H.
GREAT PIZZA. Yes it is a bit pricey but after all this is the OC and I do not mind paying for great food. The Pizza that I ordered was full of toppings and the toppings were all fresh and very tasty. This will be my go to Pizza place in the OC.
(5)David R.
I Eat this pizza all the time. Usually very good, lots of cheese. Look, I know NY pizza and nothing around these parts can compare, but, I like FC Pizza. Is it greasy? Sure, but that's OK, good pizza needs to be. Only four stars because it's a little pricey.
(4)Marylou K.
ive been a good customer at the newport coast first class pizza, since they first opened, but I have never been treated in such a manner as today. i wanted to try the gluten free cheese pizza, it comes in two sizes small and mini. I was quoted $16, for the small. For sure this was a big mistake and they will notice the mistake and fix it. In the meantime, I had my order delivered and there was no mistake they had charged me a shocking amount for a small small gluten free pizza. I called up z pizza and compared prices for the same pizza and z pizza was $9. I decided to call the manager of first class and see, maybe this was a mistake by the guy who took my order over the phone. He told me, that it was $13, not $16, nevertheless, very pricey, and i wanted to know why they would charge so much and tell them that z pizza was $9. At that point, the manager told me that it is what it is, and if I dont like it, I should fo to zpizza, gina's or dominos and that I dont have to buy pizza's here. What was to be a customer service call turned out to be a boxing match. I told the manager that Im sure the owner wouldnt appreciate him sending customer somewhere else and that he was not a good manager and he doesnt know anything about customer service, and he should not be working there. With that comment ,he told me, very loudly, that he was going to post a note on their caller id, not to ever deliver food to these people. Do you really think at this point I would ever want to eat there again? I have never had to write a disgruntled letter to a restaurant, but the behavior of the manager was shocking and harassing, I am afraid to have anyone from that restaurant deliver food into our community. I feel very threatened. I am going to have to report this to the association and maybe just have the owner deliver food to this community. I think that the way this manager handled himself and how he yelled at me, I would and anyone would be very scared. this incident should be looked into and the manager should be spoken to or more. I will make sure that the community knows of the harassement. My husband is on the association board, maybe they can look into having their delivery license taken away. saturday 2/2012

This is a pizza place for those who like a thicker crust pizza (crunchy thin crust fanatics won't like the pizza as much) Always a friendly staff. They really do pile on the toppings. My favorite is a grilled chicken and sausage pizza, it just works pretty perfectly,. Additionally, they're always accommodating and will do pretty much anything to create your perfect pizza (I've done a half bbq sauce half tomato sauce pizza - it rocks)

This is the same quality pizza as Pizza Hut or Domino's so if you think that pizza is good, you'll like this pizza. The pictures looked better than it tasted. We also had the buffalo and extra hot wings and they had relatively no flavor. The Buffalo tasted like boiled chicken and the extra hot tasted like Hooter's medium wings. They were baked so I thought they would be better, but, meh... Then I ordered the antipasto salad and it was just meh... I've never had an antipasto salad without cheese. It wasn't awful but I wish I would have saved the $20 and walked to the grocery store to buy a Tombstone.

The name sounds like it better live up to something....and it does! Hands down the best non-chain pizza joint in OC. Why it's so delicious is the crust. Can't explain it, but it has this great buttery taste and a good fluff to it. They are very generous w/ toppings. I usually always get a combo of pepperoni and pineapple. It definitely IS a bit steep when it comes to price, but it's worth it.

It is not the best pizza I have tried, but all in all it is recommended specially the mushroom pizza with thin crust. Yum Yum.

Great crust, but THICK!!! Although thick, it's crispy on the outside...as a pizza crust very well should be! I actually prefer a thin, NY-style crust...which this is not. I prefer the taste of GIna's pizza to this. They DO have GREAT delivery service, though!! I called tonight and they delivered my pizza in less than 38 minutes! I was really pleasantly surprised. When the driver handed me my pizza, a large veggie, it had to have been the heaviest pizza I ever felt! I opened it and, to my dismay, it appeared immediately as though they had given me extra CHEESE vs. the DOUBLE extra SAUCE I asked for. I asked the girl who took my order to please ensure double extra sauce, which obviously did not happen....this is the second time....just be sure if you like a lot of sauce, to order extra sauce, and hopefully you will get it!!!

I had the worst service the other day from the women who I think is the manager/owner. I called to get 4 slices of pizza fresh because she told me the slices that were out for 20 mins. It normally is not a problem when I ask for fresh slices, however she said she cant do that because she would have to make a full 6 slices fresh. Talk about losing a customer. I will never go back again as long as she is there.

i really am disappointed. I read all these reviews and was convinced this HAD to be good pizza. it was not. i mean, i didn't throw up or stop eating it... but definitely is the closest thing to Pizza Hut i've ever had. SUPER GREASY. Wal Mart pepperoni and stiff cheese. The dough was alright. $16 for a medium pepperoni pizza. Pizza hut would have been cheaper. I am in search for amazing pizza in OC and haven't found it. The best so far is costco... sad to say.

In town vacationing and wanted some pizza. Thick crust was crispy with fresh toppings.

i would classify first class pizza as neither really good, nor really bad pizza, while it is considerably better than the dreck you get from domino's, pizza hut, et.al ., it does not measure up to truly great pizzas. the crust as others have said is very good; flaky and crispy on the outside, puffy and doughy on the inside. the toppings were fresh and tasty. i was disappointed by the near absence of sauce, it was there but hardly noticeable, next time i shall ask for extra. i also found the cheese was a bit too plentiful and stringy for my liking. taking a a bite felt like performance art piece as i tried to wrap the cheese around and around until it snapped. also tried the "extra spicy" chicken wings and had a similar reaction: not the best, but not the worst. the notion these were even moderately spicy let alone "extra" is laughable, i've had spicier bags of doritos. they were overdone, but were not overly salty like so many wings are. the benchmark for chickens wings is still crab zone in laguna beach. the atmosphere is non-descript and forgetable bar the antics of the self-entitled, noveau-riche of newport coast. service was good without being noteworthy.

All I have to say is, their pizza is amazing! Though its not inexpensive, its worth spending the extra money on for Good pizza.

Yes, the title says it all. Probably the best pizza I've ever tasted. Even better than Z-Pizza, or Roundtable, and I love those places! The place inside really isn't that big, but who cares ?! They bake pizza fresh out of the oven, and when you get it, it's like you're in pizza heaven. The pizza melts in your mouth, and the crust (my fave part) is to die for! I live up Ridge Park in Newport Coast just like 1 sec away from this place, and I eat here whenever I have a pizza craving. You should defiantly check this pace out if you want some delicious pizza. Highly recommended in my opinion!

THE BEST QUALITY PIZZA!!!! The pizza has all the best quality ingrediants you could ask for, how do I know this? when you look at the top of a pizza ,it should not have an orangy oil on top. This chain uses the best quality ingrediants, it is worth the price and the wait.

We ordered the pizza with extra cheese, tomatoes, basil....forgot the name, but it's one of their specialty pizzas and I was surprised how much I liked the pizza considering I always get pizza with pepperoni.

Wow!!!! Amazing pizza and service. Visiting from Dallas and absolutely loved the pizza and Marinara sauce.

Been here since I was 10... Stopped coming here for a bit cuz the pizza got real bad... Something must have changed because of pizza has gotten over the years. The dough of the pizza is a lot chewier and a lot thicker. The tomato sauce no longer taste artificial, and the pepperoni slices are some of the best that I've had. There is a size chart on the wall when you walk in. The pizzas are a bit expensive for the size, but I think it is worth the money. I have only had pizza here, so I don't know how the other food taste. So, as far as the pizza goes, I think it is one of the best in Newport Coast. If you're thinking about calling dominos or ZPizza for lunch, don't be an idiot. Call first class instead. There are some prty chill guys working here too!!!

This place is definitely 1st class! 1st class pizza and 1st class service! The employees were very observant to our needs and provided exceptional customer service to us. The pizza was deliciously bubbling hot with just the right amount of toppings and tasted perfectly fresh and delicious with each and every bite! Absolutely love this place and can't wait to come back and have more fresh bubbling hot and delicious pizza!

I've ordered pizza here numerous times and it was always hot and tasty. I like their plain pepperoni and why is that? Good sauce, good cheese and plenty of both. They aren't skimpy on their ingredients and it shows in the taste.

a good freind of mine and i have been going for a little over a year now and we can never get enough of the pizza! the large is hig enough to where we are always one slice short of finishing the whole pie. By far the best pizza i've ever had!

Thin crust Basilicious pizza was wonderful! Friend ordered gluten free pizza and remarked that crust was the best he had ever had!

1 star just for the nice delivery person that had to deliver our food when we weren't there but the other stars are completely gone due to the fact that they waste everyones time. When ordering online you receive an estimate of how long it will take for your pizza to arrive to your home, and thats great! However, when you say its going to take 1 hour I except it to arrive somewhere around 45 minutes to an 1h and 15 min to get here which is very generous. That being said I went to run some errands and after 15 minutes I receive a call that they have arrived at my home. That made no sense and I had to leave in the middle of something important to rush back home and actually pick it up myself from the restaurant. On top of that I would be charged the delivery price which is 5 dollars more just to pick up my pizza. I don't live very far away from here (actually across the street) so to my displeasure I wasn't given a sorry or a thank you or anything. I will not be coming back and I will not be ordering delivery from this establishment. I hope someone fixes your system to give more accurate delivery times because I believe no one wants to waste there time.

I've stopped in at lunch for slices on two occasions. The first time was a while ago, so the other day I decided to give this place a 2nd chance. Mistake. The pizza is simply not good. The crust is pretty thick, which is fine if it's cooked properly. Theirs is underdone, so it takes on a Wonder bread quality. The sauce is equally forgettable. ZPizza is far, far better. I want to like this place. The location is great and the service has been fine. But, go elsewhere for your pizza. I will.
