Pieology is legit. Its too legit to quit! Its okay readers if you dont know what that means. Just ask your parents. Oh the memories. Im old :/. Do you ever have a problem deciding what kind of pizza toppings to get? Do your family members say "I like anything" but they really dont? Well its time to get an individual pizza the way you want it and nobody can stop you! LOCATION: This is an odd location for a restaurant, around the corner from Wahoo Fish Tacos. Its such a long walk from the main entrance near the theater area. The Food Court is closed, so for you cheapies out there this is a great option. PRICE: The Price is Right! Sure, you can get a whole pizza at Pizza Hut or Little Ceasers for the same price, but can you have it your way and is it cooked in from of you? Yes, this matters! Search Youtube for pissed off Pizza Hut Employee and see how your pizza is made at your local chain pizzaria. Gross. SEATING: Limited but if you are willing to wait a table usually opens up. The food is usually served in a timely manner. Outdoor seating is shaded except for the tables outside of the covered patio. I know it doesnt get too hot in Irvine, but I just dont want to feel like a Pizza before eating one. QUALITY: Its okay. Not CPK or a typical pizza joint. I feel like the chefs speed up the cooking process to feed many people quickly. Cooking and consistancy can vary. My pizza turned out pretty good when every I go, but I did see a lady next to us with a burnt crush and raw center, but Im sure that happens when you overload your pizza with too many items. My first visit the server put on a redicious amount of oil. I thought he was trying to make a Tostada or a large potato chip. Oil is not a sauce!! Oil is not your friend. Every pizza turns out greasy so you may want to order a drink. My second visit I asked for light oil with extra sauce. This was a lot better. Pieology is good, but I would still take Round Table over it any day of the week. The quality of your pizza is in your hands. Depending what topping you choice can make or break the flavor. So choose wisely. If you pretend that this is an all you can eat buffet. Go ahead load on the toppings if thats your thing, but dont blame me if your Out is not as fun as your In. I suggest you stick to one type of cheese mozarella. If you want any of the other cheese go for it, but to me cheese is just mold. Its true google it! Always get extra sauce and light oil. I would stick to 2 or 3 meats max and load on about 3 veggies and always add garlic and basil. You may not get kiss at the end of your date, but it will be worth it. Besides you will have protection from twinkle twinkle sparkle Twilight glider-faced vampires. Add extra garlic and onions if you need. I recommend Pieology! However, if you like quality pizza or if you are gonna tell me Chicago style Deep Dish is the only real pizza, you will be disappointed. If you enjoy cheap food without tip, this is a great place for those on a budget. Save your money for movie tickets, shopping, and drinking (Kids Im talking about juice).

During a road trip down to SoCal, my friends told me that Pieology was the last meal we HAD to have before heading home. The line was out the door and wrapped around the corner, which I thought was ridiculous for a pizza place. I mean, come on, how good could a pizza be that would warrant a line like this, but needless to say, my foodie curiosity got the best of me. So there I was, standing in a line that seemed to move unexpectedly fast. Im not sure if its because my wandering thoughts were jumping from the wall of quotes to wishing I hadnt worn wedges that day to what I was going to put on my pizza, but lets just chalk it up to the fact that the people working at Pieology are the definition of efficient. I must say, its good that the line was somewhat long, because it gave me time to come up with a concrete recipe for what I wanted on my pizza. Seriously, you better know what you want by the time you reach the counter or else youre going to make everyone else behind you very unhappy. Anyways, my not-so-secret pizza concoction was half BBQ chicken pizza and half meatlovers pizza. They didnt skimp on the toppings, which is a total plus, and the staff were super nice! After I paid, by the time I got a cup of water, found a table, and sat down, my pizza was fresh out the oven and ready to be devoured! Lunch was my first meal of the day, so to say that I was hungry would be an understatement, but my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach! I ate half my pizza and was able to take the remaining half with me as a snack during my road trip back north. The saddest part about my experience at Pieology was knowing that I had to leave and wouldnt get a chance to eat here again until I visited SoCal next. BUT, thats okay, Pieology was well worth it!

I checked out the reviews and the images of the food and it looked pretty darn tasty. I’ve never been to build-your-own-pizza joint so this was my chance to try it out. Make sure you head over there early because the line will be out the door! As I was waiting in line, I had time to really think about what I wanted to order. From the type of crust, to the type of sauce and dressing, I had to make up my mind quick since the line moves somewhat fast. I chose whole wheat pizza crust to be healthy, mozzarella cheese in which the staff packed on a huge handful, olives, tomato, artichokes, and chicken.The pizza was baked to perfection. I say perfection because the crust was light, crispy, and had a slight burnt taste in a good way. What made the pizza delicious was the fact that it was thin crust which is my most favorite way of having pizza. I also tried the cinnamon sugar pizza which is like a cinnamon roll but in a pizza form. It’s a pizza crust with cinnamon, brown sugar, and a drizzle of icing and was very tasty. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take a picture of it! Well that just means I have a reason to go back =) I definitely want to go back and try one of their creations or build my own pizza with the different sauce and toppings.

Whenever theres a long line zig-zagging out the door to order food, I find that I am always drawn to the reason for the formation of the line. Whats happening? I really want to know whats good inside. The love of a long line is that you get time to watch others order and see if they enjoy their order. The love of a long line gives you an opportunity to jump out of line if you find through observation that others ahead of you may have that look of disappointment about their order. But Pieology Pizzeria actually surprised me! I couldnt believe the ## of toppings that you could order for your pizza. I couldnt believe how good it looked. I couldnt believe that all of it was for "one low price. " Like many chefs will advise -- the food may look good like candy for the eyes, but the real question is "does it taste good?" Again, Pieologys pizza did not disappoint -- it actually tasted good too!! Wow! Great Pizza taste and a great low price with guests lining out the door to order for eat in or take out.
