“ Super in love with this pizza place. Its Roma style and all the ones we ordered were delicious. Our favorite was the Japanese one, the prosciutto was a close second. Crust was crispy and ingredients was super fresh. The server was kind to explain everything as this was our first time here. I just wished the place had more seatings to dine versus eating in our car. ”

“ Everyone working here is so kind and amazing!!! Answered all the questions I had and had great recommendations! Everything here is freshly made to order so expect at least a 10 minute wait when ordering as well Japanese Slice... slightly sweet but not in a bad way at all. More like kewpie way and I dont even like mushrooms but this is really good. Super umami, the bonito flakes are mehhh but I think thats just a personal thing. 810 Amatriciana Slice... Kinda tasted like margarita but more smokey the meat on top was so yummy like elevated bacon. I think this one was my favorite. Very tomatoey I love it 910 Chorizo Pastor Slice... Very spicy its very herby as well. I took off the pineapple sorry and jalapenos, but still delicious not my fav but glad I tried. 6.510 Margarita Slice... holy moly sauce galore, cheese pull aplenty, crust pillowy soft but also crispy, man how can you not love this. I am a basic gal AND? 810 Contadina Slice... Sausage was amazing and seasoned great, sauce very tomatoey but I love that. All the toppings together honestly also tastes like spaghetti which is amazing lol. The onions on this were also amazing sweet and delicious. This was more than just a slice of pizza this was like a whole dish. 910 Nonna Slice... Light and sweet in a super pleasant way, reminds us of lasagna becuase of the cheese lol.

“ My friends celebrated my bday by ordering this place and it exceeded my expectations. Ordered the pepperoni, calabrese, margarita, and gargonzola. All 1010. Definitely will be ordering again soon ”

“ Service is awesome!!! Guy at the counter asked everyone that came through the door if it was there first time there. Then he would explain all of the options in there pizzas, their process, and how they keep everything fresh and made to order like in Italy. We had a few slices and everything we tasted was so good!!! Our favorite by far was the chorizo pastor pizza. Dont take my word for it. Try it! Ample parking in a small shopping center. Wheelchair accessible. Tables inside and a couple of small tables outside. ”

“ Ive been to Italy twice and this is the best Pizza Romana out there. Its even better than Italy because they make theirs super thin. I can even see the pockets in each slice! We had so many slices that we tried. I definitely love the new buffalo chicken! ”

“ If you havent yet ventured to Sugo, a Romanstyle pizza place in Costa Mesa, youre missing out on a slice of heaven. This isnt your runofthemill pizza joint its a gourmet experience that starts 72 hours before you take your first bite. The dough, meticulously crafted to perfection, forms the foundation for a pizza that is light, airy, and full of flavor. Each bite feels like a culinary embrace, leaving you marveling at how something so simple can taste so extraordinary. The fresh ingredients only add to the magic, with toppings that range from classic to innovative. Now, lets talk about their cheese. Its flavorful, and melts perfectly, complementing the crust in a symphony of taste and texture. After seeing an IG post from FOODAGRAMMER, the seasonal peach pizza was the reason I drove from SD. Its a delightful blend of sweet and savory, with juicy peaches that taste like theyve just been plucked from the orchard. Its my personal favorite and an absolute musttry. Despite indulging in a full meal, I left feeling satisfied but not weighed down. This pizza has a way of filling you up without making you feel heavy, a testament to the quality and care put into each pie slice. Be sure to look beyond the half baked pizzas displayed on the counter, they have delicious make to order pizzas, try the truffle pizza! In a world full of pizza places, this one stands out not just for its taste, but for its dedication to the craft. So, do yourself a favor and treat your taste buds to Sugo. ”

“ Sugo was great! Awesome spot to come and grab a slice or two or Roman style pizza! The service was quick and friendly. Note that when you order it will take about 10 minutes for them to heat up your pizza, as it is on display not fully cooked. I got two slices to try the Margherita and the Rustic with ham, potato and rosemary. I was very impressed with both slices. The crust is crisp yet fluffy. Ive had other Roman style pizza where the dough was either too dense or maybe dry. This dough was perfect and was the star of the slice. I highly recommend this spot. The restaurant has a few seats if you wanted to stay and dine in, but this seems like mostly a takeout spot. ”
