I came here for the first time . Artisanal pizza... really ? I took a Nico and CIndy pizza. They have no taste at all. I am an italian tourist in Costa mesa. Nothing to do with a Pizza at all.. It is not à pizza dough at all but à doigt make for break. Plus the pizza was empty, not even cheese. You don't even taste the cheese. If you love bread you will love the dough but this is not à pizza at all.
Best pizza I've had on the west coast
Such a great hole in the wall pizza place. The owners were so kind and the pizzas were even better! We ordered the Thomas and the Nico. Thomas tasted like an upscale deconstructed pasta and the Nico was so decadent with all the herb flavors blending nicely. Saw one comment that the pizzas are oily and lack of cheese, but that’s clearly intentional given the price point and high end ingredients. The olive oil they sprinkle on the pizza is perfect for dipping your flaky crust.
The guy was super nice so it pains me to give such a low rating, but the pizza was awful, even for California. Don't go here if you're from the tri-state area. Koji in the dough was an intriguing - if culturally-appropriating - idea for a white dude (stolen from Shota Nakajima), but it just made the pizza taste bitter like rye bread. And the whole pie was burnt. Something "being Cindy" is actually an in-joke with my friends, meaning something is familiar, right, and as it should be. But despite having a pizza called Cindy, this definitely wasn't Cindy.
Great experience all around here! We love the Lab concept and have been wanting to try Kuro for a while. Finally got the chance today. It was about a 25 minute wait for a Nacho, and they got pretty busy in that time. When it came out, the chef was worried about a hole in the pizza and offered to make it right however he could. He ended up bringing us some cream puffs and other pastry desserts that were simply sublime. The pizza still tastes wonderful as well! We really appreciate the gesture and loved our visit as a whole. Can't wait to return and try all the other combos over time.
kindest service and amazing pizza. i always recommend it. they have super unique flavors. the crust is thin and its a bit messy to eat but its pizza i mean you eat it with your hands. love them, definitely give them a try! :)
Very tasty! Grab a pie and head next door to Bootlegger’s for a beer!
Pizza was amazing! Loved the flavors of the nacho pizza , had a sweet heat and it complimented the Italian sausage really well. The staff was also really nice and super accommodating!!
