Lamppost Pizza

was reluctant to go to this location, because it is old and dirty. But we were pressed for time, the pizza is low quality, The management was horrable has no concerns for the safety of his customers, He has no customer service experience at all and should not be in the business of running a restaurant.

We were optimistic but ended up disappointed. I loved Lamppost Pizza as a kid. Lamppost Pizza was the place to go after ball games. We went back tonight. The pizza was actually pretty good, about the same as Mountain Mikes. Better than Dominoes or Ameci. But it was ridiculously expensive. The extra large (12 slices) ½ pepperoni ½ veggie was $ 32. Add one salad, a pitcher of beer, and one milk and it was $ 67. The place was pretty dirty and grimey, and the bathroom was not good (I’ll leave it at that). The people were very nice in there and I hate to say bad things, but there’s no way we’d ever go back when we can pay the same amount for better food, great service, awesome beer, and an excellent environment at High Park Tap House.

I’ve been coming here ever since I was a little kid, after my baseball games. They serve the best pizza and it’s a great family place with a very nice atmosphere. The owner is very friendly and very fresh and great pizza.

Well, my adventure continues with the owner of this Lamppost franchise. He proceeded to yell at my child who was reffing a soccer game that was adjacent to the soccer game the owner was there to see. He yelled at my son telling him that he was proceeding with a call incorrectly. My husband was also on the same pitch reffing as well. After being talked to by the center ref (it is against AYSO rules to talk to Junior Referees) he approached to head, mentor ref and pointed to my husband and said «I already have a beef with that guy because of a bad Unilocal review» Are you kidding me??? Because you discriminated against me several years ago and blatantly violated the American with Disabilities Act, you are going to yell at my child at a soccer game and then call out my husband and mention a bad Unilocal review. My review and my husbands review is based on facts that actually happened. I think your bad attitude and poor business practices will take care of things and will have little to do with a review. I continue to keep my review up to date because you have not changed how you treat people with food allergies. Really, what harm does 1 person in a large group make bringing in their own allergy safe food?

This place serves the best pizza in town! I order the veggie pizza and sometimes the barbecue chicken and am always pleased. My favorite part about eating here is that the ingredients taste very fresh. Also the environment is nice to bring children or host a pizza party. If i’m in a hurry I call and pick up the pizza and there is no problem. The service is friendly and I will be back as a return customer. I’m glad this place has been in Lake Forest for such a long time. It’s nice to see businesses like these still in the area. Thank you for the great pizza and great service!

Was looking forward to trying this location. My wife raves about the the LP in Huntington Beach. The only difference in the pizza that was noticed at this location is that the pepperoni wasn’t as crispy. Perhaps a minute longer in the oven? Besides that she loved it as did I. All the ingredients tasted fresh. This place even though old and not updated gets a 5 star for the freshness and quality of ingredients. Good stuff!

Great pizza! Had pepperoni and sausage and the crust was not at all greasy thanks to the clever tray they serve it on. Good quality for the price, friendly service, and very clean seating area. Definitely will return.

This place used to have good pizza bit now they skimp on cheese and the toppings. I will not go back. I mean how hard is it to make good pizza. There is too much dough and the slices they sell can be old.

Love this place!
Same owner and same pizza ever since I first came here years ago. Excellent garlic bread, some of the best I have had.
Good pizza is not cheap these days. And, this place is not cheap by any means. But, I love to frequent local small business owners and these guys are awesome.
There pizza is a thicker crust but very fresh tasting. If you in the area and want something different than the normal fast food pizza places this is definitely worth a try,
If you go to pizza places just for the garlic bread then definitely go here :)

Pizza sucks. Place is over priced. Place is old and dirty!
Ammeci pizza is way better

They have great pizza. My review is not for the pizza. These guys don’t want to deliver so they make you jump through 20 minutes of hoops in order to get a delivery. They tell you that you need to go online to place your order. This is fun. Trust me! You go through 20 – 25 minutes of filling out their menu online and then submit it. It comes back after all this with no warning from the get go that the minimum is $ 25 to place an order. What the hell is going on here? How about I call and you take my order and deliver it like every other pizza place. What a joke! Hello Biagios!

Mmmmmm. Pizza on a warm night. Well I love it when I come back from washing my hands and the appetizer is waiting for me to devour it. And that was some patato wedges (8oz). They also have a (16oz) one but wasn’t that hungry. Also got the small pizza, half peppronie and half Hawaiian with water to drink because soda is just bad for you.

The pizza here is a really good and I love how they have a few arcade games, but the $ 25 dollar minimum for delivery is insane! How am I supposed to tip a driver when normally my limit is $ 25 bucks? I mean I am assuming their large pizza is less then $ 25 bucks and I just wanted a single pie. I’m not trying to order two mediums because that isn’t very cost effective and I can’t eat 30 slices of pizza in one night,
I guess I’ll be buying from the slice from now on since I can’t drive…

Wow! The pizza is incredible! I love their extra cheese!!! Service is friendly and bathrooms are clean. The décor is there is no décor, lol!!! I am a fan and yes I’ll be coming back!

Very expensive for what you get. 2 pizzas and 8 fountain drinks was $ 82. No I am not even kidding. Grew up patronizing this place but am more financially responsible and won’t go back. It’s too bad. Kids had fun playing air hockey and place is clean.

Really friendly staff. The pizza crust, I actually like a lot. Not too bready. Decent sauce. Try the wings

Great family pizza place !!! Pizza is very very good !! Great customer service. They are always very nice here. I’ve only had pizza here and boy is it good. We will keep coming back here !!

I’m a Unilocaler with 70 reviews under my belt and I can’t believe I’ve neglected to rate our favorite pizza place. We love pizza and try different places from time to time, but this is still our favorite! Luckly, we only live a mile from Lamppost so this is on our way home. We stop by about once a month and get a large pizza, half with everything and half Hawaiian to go. It’s the best! Delicious crust and heavy on the toppings. The two owners are always so friendly when we arrive. We’ve been coming for about 15 years and will keep coming!
When we try other pizza, we typically say… it’s good, but not as good at our Lamppost Pizza. Keep up the good work, guys!

First off I eat pizza every where I go. I eat Costco pizza, Round Table, and every other pizza place I can walk into. I do try to avoid the Domino’s and the other delivery. To even compare this place to those place is ridicules.
This particular pizza place I have been eating at for while, maybe about 20 years. Yeah, 20 years. It’s good. I like it. It doesn’t taste like any other pizza and I like that. The pizza crust is a little thicker so if you like a thin crust I don’t know what to tell you. But, it always tastes the same and I think it is delicious and that is why I have been coming here for 20 years.
I have never gotten a bad pizza or service from Lamppost. The owners are always nice. But, I am always nice to them and I tend to follow the rules wherever I go and be polite, ehem.
I am surprised to see one of my favs pizza joints getting dinged by the Unilocalers. People in my opinion are far to critical. Rules are rules. If I don’t like the rules of a certain place then I don’t go there. Simple as that. I don’t try and bully them because they do not cater to me.
As for the owner. Well, there’s two of them. You can tell they are very hard working and nice individuals. Never have heard or seen anything like I have read today and I am pretty sure I never will.
Anyways, I am ordering their pizza for take out tonight as I always do and I am pretty sure I will enjoy it as I always do. And, if they make a mistake every once in a while I will try to remember people are not perfect!
And by the way, claiming you need to eat «healthy» Del Taco food and then having the nerve to enter into a real food establishment and try to eat it that garbage right in front of the owners is not only insulting but completely against just above every restaurant’s rules. It is so ridicules and tacky and shows you have a complete lack of common sense.

The beer tastes like they haven’t cleaned their taps, and thier pizza gave me a tummy ache last time.
sounds like a hole in the wall to me.
