This was my first experience that these trendy build you own pizza places. It came highly recommended and since we happened to be in the area, we had to come check it out. Parking: There is a hotel next door and when you turn in to the lot, let valet know you are going to Pizza Press - theyll direct you to a parking spot and you wont have to pay. Once we made our way inside, I was so taken back by the amount of endless ingredients and toppings to choose from. My mind was blown...I decided to create my own pizza and see what my inner culinary genius could come up with...after making my way through the assembly line, we paid at the end, waited about 10 additional min for our pizzas to finish up...and BOOM! HOT and CRISPY pizza for me to inhale....YES!!!! It was pretty crowded at 8pm on a Friday night, but given that Disneyland is closeby you kinda have to expect it here. I did feel like the staff seemed overwhelmed by the crowd, because during a few moments while I was building my pizza, I was lost and confused as to who was listening to my order and where my pizza was going. It was a bit frustrating, given that this was my first time here and I am just as confused as the people behind the counter... BTW: They also have a great selection of craft beers to choose from. I didnt get a chance to try it as I was really craving a cold glass of coke with my pizza.

I loved this place. Small, quaint, comfortable. The music was upbeat and enjoyable. We had to wait about 15 minutes to get our food. First you walk in and wait in a line (hopefully short). Then you build your pizza. The super-nice employees build your pizza for you with lots of yummy toppings then it bakes in a little conveyer oven for about 5 minutes. There were many sides to choose from. A yummy hot sauce, some sort of pesto sauce, ranch, etc. The beer selection was pretty weak. There were two beers that were high alcohol content -- 13% and 10% -- but they were $7 for only 8 ounces. WEAK SAUCE! I just ordered an IPA that was 9% and $7 for a full 16 ounces. And that beer was VERY yummy after wandering around in Disneyland for three straight days. So good. So very, very good. The pizza itself was very good as well. Maybe it was because I was so hungry, but it tasted so good at the time. The crust was thin and I prefer a thick crust, but still . . . it was just so good. The reason Im giving the place four stars is because there is extemely limited seating, and for a pizza place (and because Im from Oregon), I felt that the beer selection was weak and the doubling of the price for the high alcohol content beer was ridiculous. I highly recommend this place.

Unbelievably good pizza at an even more incredible price! We came here based on the reviews of Google, Yelp and Trip Advisor. I didnt think there was any way this site could live up to the stellar reviews it was receiving, but boy did it ever! First of all, the staff was incredibly friendly and even remembered us and our order the next day we came in! They were able to recommend unique toppings to make our pizzas an unforgettable meal! Secondly, the pizza itself is nothing short of fantastic with a great selection of toppings you dont normally find at your typical pizza joints - but unlike most pizza joints, Pizza Press doesnt nickel and dime you for those toppings. We were able to add as many as we wanted and it was still $10! Lastly, they have a unique variety of draft and bottled beers that you may not find anywhere else! One draft they had when we went was crafted for a special event, and they had it shipped in to be the only location to offer that brew. All in all, this place not only lived up to its elite reviews, it surpassed them! This is our new go-to spot during our Disneyland vacations, and a spot we will be craving and missing once we get back home!

Love the pizza and the service. The theme is super cute and retro! Food: Customize your own pizza for $10 or select one from the menu for $8-$10. The dough is fresh: rolled up in a ball and flattened once you start your order :) There are a lot of toppings to choose from and they are all FRESH. (Get the white sauce!) After you choose your toppings, they put it in the oven and serve your pizza in a little wooden pizza pan thing. From the very first bite, I think its safe to say that quality of their food definitely beats pielogy! Service: Service is phenomenal. They were helpful and kind to me as a first timer. Their outfits were so cute too, love the whole retro theme! Parking: Free parking with validation if there is not a lot of parked cars. Its located next to Carousel Inn so it may get crowded on on-season Disney days. But no worries, the valet can help you with parking!

Awesome pizza, awesome music (I love dance music, but its okay if you dont), awesome people, and some cool new beers to try including one brewed around the corner. Perfect end to a night in Disneyland. The make line is almost like ordering a subway sandwich - you can pick what you want. No charge per topping (its either cheese or it has toppings) - a refreshing way to see things done. The wallpaper is cool too (touch it - if your hands are clean). Tips: -Maybe try the "quarterly edition" if youre feeling adventurous - its supposed to be a mystery pizza. Dont want to spoil it, but I can tell you it was awesome. -The garlic cheese bread is basically another pizza but its also very good. -The valet guys at the carousel hotel will tell you how to park if youre here for pizza (the restaurant shares a driveway with the hotel)

I didnt have high expectations as soon as I saw the conveyor oven. Thankfully, the size of the pizzas are good for the price, though the dough was rather generic. Choice of toppings is good, I love that they have the herbs at the end to garnish the pizzas with. Despite the selection size, the pepperoni was sliced too thinly for me so I could not taste it. As far as the service, there were quite a few customers ahead of us, but the wait was completely expected and not overly long. Customer service was good, and the guys working had good attitudes and were happy to assist. Overall, the food is good, though nothing special. If Im in the area again and wanting pizza, Ill definitely be considering this place again.

Thin flakey crust, special toppings like arugula, BBQ pulled pork, artichoke hearts, smoked Gouda cheese, roasted peppers, etc. Always plenty of craft beers on tap or bottled, and super fair price. I usually get one and share, which comes out to be $5-6/person. They make it fresh to order assembly line style. Theres also a location in old orange, if you want to be away from the Disney crowd, which has way more parking options and seating. Parking is the main con to this location, but we usually come late and pull up on the side with no issues. Sometimes theres a worker who helps you park. If youre vegetarian, this is a bomb spot to check out.

So good!!! Were from San Francisco and we have some awesome food here in the Bay Area and this place is on par with some of the pizza places here if not better!!! Right now this Anaheim location is tiny but they are getting a much bigger place with lots of space and tables. We are here two days in a row for dinner. Pizzas are delicious. You can pick your own toppings for about $10 a pizza. A super bargain compared to the disgusting food at Disneyland. Ill eat here any day. They have a good selection of beer on tap as well and bottled beers. We will be back and hopefully well get to visit them at their new location. Good job Pizza Press!!!
