Olive Branch

My friends and I closed out the bars in the area and Olive Branch was one of the few places left that served some food in the area. The pizza place itself is just a window on the wall somewhere between La Vida Cantina and the Yard House. There are 2 or 3 tables to sit on outside as well.
Our pizza came out nice and hot. We ordered a pepperoni and a pepperoni & sausage. The pizza was a bit expensive, but the quality is pretty good. The crust was a bit thin in a the middle making it hard to fold the pizza and chow down, but the edges were nice and crisp.

We had just got to Costa Mesa to have a few drinks. It was almost closing time but they took care of us pretty well. We didn’t know what to get so we asked one of the workers what he would recommend and so he said the nacho pizza. It was extremely delicious. I’m not sure about the rest of the menu but the nacho pizza did the job. Nice people and great pizza; specially while you’ve had a few drinks!

Ordered a pizza for takeout on Friday night, I got a veggie pizza with pepperoni instead of the artichoke and added black olives, and it was delicious. It had bell peppers, red onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, basil, and possibly a few other things I can’t remember. I was very pleased with the pizza and the employee was very friendly. Will definitely be back!

The pizza is expensive but when I wake up at 12am craving pizza, I can order the usual delivery pizza from a chain restaurant or I can pick up this really good tasting veggie pizza from Olive Branch. You can order from the outside walk up window. Open late and has fresh tasting salads and great pizzas. This place is connected to the Black Knight night club at the Triangle Square mall. Every time I walk up to order they offer me a free bottle of water which holds me over while they make the pizza.

I’ll admit, after ordering our pizza at the window, I did think that it was a little overpriced. But after my first bite of my medium thin crust onion & mushroom pizza. OHMAHGAH. One of the best I’ve had in a while.
Plus, you know it’s a good one when it tastes just as great the next morning — sober.

Terrible customer service. Waited for 10 minutes just to flag down a busboy at the window to get our order in. Once the appropriate person took our order, we waited 20+ minutes for it. They didn’t even bother at least bringing out the salad first while we were sitting there starving waiting. The pizza was good, was missing the side of pesto I specifically asked for but wasn’t about to wait any longer in hopes of flagging down another busboy. The salad I could’ve made at home myself. Not worth $ 30 at all.

Coming from an East Coaster whose family owned an italian restaurant, this is some of the best pizza you can get in Orange County. I had crumbled sausage, pepperoni, peppers and black olives. It was delicious. My east coast friends agree. I highly recommend this place. Service was fast and friendly. It is overpriced though, I will say that.

Thai-​Chicken pizza is probably some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. It’s stupid good. Service is hit or miss but hey, it’s a pizza window, what do you expect?

They gave us bottles of water while we waited for the pizza. I thought that was pretty cool customer service! Decent pizza, decent price, convenient location.

I thought the pizza was pretty good overall. The ingredients tasted very fresh, but the pizza was a bit messy to eat. The center seemed a bit too wet/​soggy and maybe this was the problem? All I know is with almost every bite, veggies were falling off my slice and I couldn’t keep the thing together.

This was my second visit here. The first time was really really tasty!!! This time, it was ok. We had the veggie with pepperoni instead of artichokes, and it tasted alright, but as I took a few more bites, the toppings fell all over the place! It wasn’t a terrible thing, but something to note. I think I will stick to my tried and true pepperoni and mushroom next time. Also, something weird. I gave them my Capital One debit card for payment and their system recognized it as a «blank card». That was the first time that has ever happened. Luckily I had cash so crisis averted! I got my pizza and got home in time for HIMYM.
One last thing. Because of the inconvenience with my card, the guy behind the counter hooked me up with 2 bottles of water. Very cool of him to do so. Tasty food, cool people and down the street. I’ll be back!

My friends and I always eat here after hitting up Sutra. We ordered 2 boxes — 1 pepperoni and 1 sausage. They were both fresh and hot. The cheese was so good… so good I picked the cheese and toppings that fell from my friends’ pizza slices as they picked them up from the box. They thought it was pretty gross. But hey, what can I say. It was so good! Although the weight gain after eating and drinking isn’t fun to lose…
Having this food joint open right after the club is such a good idea. There’s usually always a wait when we pass by. There’s only a couple outdoor small tables too, so if you plan to eat here, grab the tables stat!

I have to say overall I liked their pizza. Was impressed with the fresh ingredients. Example the Hawaiian pizza had fresh sliced pineapple not canned. The only ding I would give them for is the soggy center however it could be because it more difficult to cook a large pizza evenly through. I like that they offered complimentary bottle water while we wait. That is excellent service.
This will be my go to quick meal for movie Tuesday but next time I’ll try their small pizza or ask for longer cook time.

This place is awesome! Their pizzas and flatbreads are really tasty and they have salads as well that are quite creative and anything but ordinary. I think my favorites at least for the moment would be the flatbread with mushrooms, caramelized onions and truffle oil… The aroma alone will is incredible. I also love the Thai chicken pizza and their eggplant poke which is such a great twist on the traditional poke, which they also have. They have beef skewers made with filet mignon and a very decadent meatball skillet appetizer. And of course they have a variety of great craft beers and even wine on tap which is pretty rare. I like to eat in which means hangin out at the Black Knight Lounge which is a very cool place and the home of this great wood fired pizza joint. Try this place. You will be pleasantly surprised by their food and drink!

Pizza, i have to say for fast, wood fired pizza pretty darn good. Love the Mushroom Pizza and how easy to just roll up on the window and within 10 minutes i feel like i got the restaurant style pizza out of a window. Can’t ask for more or can you. So i did i went into the Black Knight, which is attached and sat and watched the Miami kill the spurs with my pizza and a beer in had. I would and will go back.

This pizza was a disappointing over priced crap of a pizza. The guy at the window insisted it was worth the $ 21 bucks… BS go F@#$! yourself man this pizza is crap. You can’t even order a slice here wtf. We were stuck ordering a large pizza between me and my 3 friends. I was drunk eating this pizza and I was like wow I wish domino’s pizza was open or should have went with our other option the 24 hour subway by my place. We got a pepperoni pizza which was cheesy with a puffy unseasoned bland crust. Seriously a wannabe Lavantinas pizza by the peninsula which is mediocre pizza at its best even when I’m drunk. I’d rather go through a Taco Bell drive through then come here or even Jack n the Box. Overall don’t waste your money here my drunk or sober friends and I hope you’re reading this too. Step up or game or get out of triangle square seriously thanks for wasting our money. Harsh review but stuff that is less than mediocre and overpriced when I’m drunk is unacceptable.
