Laventina’s Big Cheese Pizza Irvine

Amin Shakhsi a month ago

Alright… I’ve always got pizza from their newport beach location and their pizza is out of this world. I found out this location is right by my house so i ordered extra large pizza, wings, ravioli, fries. Everything was great except the pizza. The pizza here is nothing compared to the one in newport beach in terms of flavor. I love this spot, my only recommendation would be to ensure same taste as the newport beach location. The wings and ravioli were great Just like the newport beach location. But the pizza was disappointing. The taste and flavor of cheese and sauce is nothing like the newport beach location.

I moved away from the area in 2015, and one of my fondest memories in my 20s was grabbing a fresh large pizza with my friends from Laventina's original location in Newport Beach. I actively thought about Laventina's in the past decade because it was just that good in my head. So you'd imagine that after moving back, I was elated to hear that there was a new location in my hometown. Of course I was a little skeptical because it's sometimes hard to maintain the quality at newer locations, but I had to give it a try. Located in Woodbridge where many of the restaurants sit. It shares it's space with a little bakery. The vibe definitely feels a bit off. I typically expect to hear 10 surfer bros arguing with each other when I go to Laventina's. I ordered a pepperoni and jalapeno pizza and some hot wings. The wings were pretty standard but a little bit on the dry/overcooked side. The pizza, though, was a big disappointment. I ordered light cheese, but it was on there so thick and felt like it was sitting around for a while. The dough felt a little flat. Absolutely no cheese pull. It was quite tragic. When I went to the Newport location, I would always avoid a cheese only or pepperoni a

So glad there's a location more accessible than the Newport one! I've been hearing about Laventina's for years and found out about this location and decided to try. AMAZING pizza, definitely cheesy! Love the sauce, crust, and of course CHEESE. 🍕 I haven't tried their wings yet, their garden salad was okay not unique but definitely fresh and a good size for 2 people for the half size. I'm excited to try more pizza from here-- and will be visiting Laventina's instead of Pizza Hut!

Nice eating outdoors, very relaxing. My wife ordered the Rose Donuts tuna melt, loved it. I ordered the garlic cheese bread. The bread was very good, but way too many garlic chunks, ended up removing all of the large chunks. Next time, I am bring garlic powder and requesting for them to add it before adding cheese (and omitting garlic chunks.) I believe this would be very good with the cheese bread.

Laventina's is awesome! We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this pizza café. From the moment we walk in, we are greeted with kindness, patience, and a genuine sense of care that makes every visit special. The pizza is consistently delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with pride. It’s the kind of food that brings comfort and joy, and our group looks forward to it every time. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the people. The entire staff is incredibly kind, respectful, and welcoming. They take the time to understand our needs and always treat our class of adult patrons with dignity and compassion. As adults on the spectrum, having a space where we feel accepted, safe, and valued means the world to us. A very special and heartfelt thank-you goes to the manager, Jairo. Jairo is gracious, accommodating, and is helpful to all guests. His thoughtfulness and understanding create an environment where everyone feels comfortable and cared for. It’s clear that his leadership shapes the positive, inclusive atmosphere of the café, and we are deeply grateful for the way he and his team go above and beyond for us. This pizza café is more than just a place to eat
