Love the outdoor seating! We ordered grilled octopus, prosciutto + burrata, and a mushroom pizza. This place is perfect for bringing your furry friends and chilling with friends on a sunny day. The beer and food were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was perfect. The staff were all so friendly! This place has plenty of parking too. I'll definitely be back.
I was looking on Yelp for a place for Friday dinner for my husband and I and came across this place. I made a reservation for 5:45pm. The only negative thing for this place is definitely parking! They only have 13 parking spots , that's it. You have to either park in the neighborhood ( which is permit parking and risk getting a ticket) or park across the street in front of the laundry place where all kinds of sketchy people are hanging out. Anyways enough about the parking . We arrived early so we were able to still order of the Happy Hour menu, and bring our first time here what better way to try the food. We ordered the Margarita pizza, a garden salad, the burrata and tomato jam appetizer and the Brussels sprouts . We started with the Brussels sprouts that are flash fried and drizzled with a delicious vinaigrette and with cashew and pomegranate they were delicious! Then we had the burrata with a tomato jam and crostini appetizer and that was also so good , they need to bottle up that jam! The margarita pizza was also delicious. It's a Neapolitan style pizza cooked in a wood oven. We are definitely going back to try some more of the pizzas. The garden salad was also so tasty , it had the perfect amount of lemony creamy dressing. Oh and the staff are all amazing. They all look happy to be working there. They all go around and check on you and ask if everything is good or if you need anything. I just that that was great. That is what I call great customer service! My husband and I went home very happy and will definitely come back! Hopefully we can get a parking spot in front of the restaurant
Pizzas were spot on! Server was great jut took a while to get to us even though it was only 6:30pm and there were a lot of open tables. Very cute outdoor patio dining which was perfect and very quaint.
My daughter's friend who is a local recommended 2145 Eats. We called and made reservations, requested patio seating we brought our daughter's dog. Server Luke and support staff was friendly and checked in on us! Food was delicious! Really enjoyed the tomato risotto! The cheesecake which was made on house was amazing! Parking on site! Highly recommend!
2145 is easily one of the best pizza spots in Orange County! I've been a few times, and the changing menu always keeps things interesting. The pizza is consistently amazing with great creative toppings, and the appetizers, desserts, and drinks are just as good. Everything is well thought out and tastes fantastic. If you're into great pizza and a cool vibe, and great service this place is a must-visit!
I'd give it a 3.7/5! It's not quite a 4/5 for me, but I'll round up. My expectations of this place were pretty high! We came just in time for happy hour, and got a few things off of the HH menu (pizza, fries, and a house salad). Everything was pretty good, but nothing wow'ed me. Specifically the pizza - I didn't know this was possible, but I think there was too much cheese. The crust was good though; fluffy and on the softer side. Our server was great, and even offered to bring us bug spray to avoid getting bit by mosquitos. The one thing though is the parking! It's a small lot of oddly shaped spots. Overall, I'm glad I tried this place, but don't know if I'd return on my own volition.
2145 is a great local restaurant that is a remodeled gas station. All the food tastes extremely fresh, as they only use fresh ingredients, and they have some of the best pizza around. The Brussel sprouts (as you could tell by the picture we were too excited to dig in we forgot to take a picture) are also a go to appetizer along with the meatballs. The "cocktails" are also great and having tried all of them there's not a bad one on the menu. The strawberry vodka drink is my favorite seasonal drink. The service is also very good as we have had pleasant experiences with all of our waiters here. Shout out to Ava and Julie for the great service!
Cheesy goodness and the most delicious Brussel sprouts!! The light pizza dough at 2145 is a triumph. It strikes the perfect balance between crispiness and chewiness, creating an airy, light crust that complements the toppings without overpowering them. The edges are beautifully charred, adding a smoky flavor that enhances the overall experience. This dough is clearly made with care, resulting in a base that is both satisfying and delicate. Service was excellent, very attentive. Ambiance is very casual, it feels as if you're sitting comfortably in your backyard.
I've been to this restaurant so many times, and I really enjoy the service and food every single time! It's by itself on a corner lot, valet parking after a certain time because of the limited sized parking lot. I can't think of one bad thing I've eaten here so I'll tell you some of my favorites: Italian sausage pizza is probably my favorite, the mushroom pizza is also really good. The blue cheese honey is great. The prosciutto and burrata pizza is good but I think the others are better. For starters, the meatballs and arancini are great choices. This place is always a solid choice for a great meal and friendly servers.
