This restaurant was recommended to me by a coworker and was my first try of Chicago style pizza.
I ordered the 9″ stuffed pizza with the ‘carnivore’ toppings. The pizza can comfortably feed 2 people. They included plenty of toppings on the pizza and I thought the selection of meats in the carnivore was a good choice.
The service was excellent, they kept me updated on how long my pizza would take and kept my drink full.

This Chicago-style pizza place delivers an authentic and unforgettable deep-dish experience. The pizza itself is a masterpiece: the cheese is indeed layered beneath the sauce, creating a unique and delicious flavor profile. The crust is perfectly flaky and packed with flavor, reminiscent of a delicate pastry. Beyond the pizza, the maple bourbon wings are a must-try, offering a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. With TVs playing sports throughout the restaurant, the wait time for this freshly-made pizza flies by. Overall, this establishment is a must-visit for any deep-dish pizza enthusiast. Five stars!

I really don’t like leaving bad reviews, but unfortunately, this is one of those times. The staff was great—friendly and kind, which I appreciated.
I ordered the pepperoni and chicken deep dish, but sadly, it was bland from start to finish. I wanted to like it, especially after paying $35, but the only thing I could really taste was oregano in the tomato sauce. Even the tomatoes lacked flavor, and the whole thing tasted like it was made with frozen, low-quality ingredients.
It did make a nice Instagram picture, but that’s about it. I think they really need to work on the quality of their ingredients. For now, I’d suggest saving your money and trying somewhere else.

Finally made it out to Rance’s Pizza in Costa Mesa after seeing a TikTok about their Chicago style deep dish, and man… it did not disappoint. Being born and raised in OC, I’ve always wanted to try a legit deep dish and this hit the spot big time. The wait was about 45 to 55 minutes since they make each pizza by hand and fresh to order, which caught us off guard at first, but once we took that first bite it all made sense. We got the Carnivore and added jalapenos and it was unreal. Crust was flaky and crunchy, cheese was insanely melty like out of a food video, and the sauce had that perfect combo of oregano, garlic, and just enough spice. The bacon really sealed the deal. I was genuinely so happy with my order. The staff inside were super sweet and helpful too when we were choosing what to get. My wife went with the gluten free crust and it was actually really good, crunchy and packed with garlic flavor. Our friends got the house special and were just as impressed. But I gotta talk about the wings… those bourbon maple bacon wings were next level. Sweet, salty, crispy, and just disappeared within minutes. Honestly one of the best wing flavors I’ve had in a while.
This place is a must go if you’re in Orange County. Absolute staple and definitely lived up to the hype.

I’ve never tried a deep dish pizza and I guess I still haven’t! I tried the classic deep dish but it was the pan style so I hear that’s not the official deep dish style. But regardless it was so dang good. It still seemed like it had that deep dish feeling behind it, and we also tried some wings and everything came out in a timely manner. I also got to try an IPA but I only recognized the soda jerk machine for the beer, it wasn’t on the menu and the waitress apologized for leaving it off our selection but hey at least these peepers work and I was able to order a delicious voodoo ranger beer that just caught my eye. 😉

This is more like a pizza to go place than a sit and enjoy. Their pizza is very good with both deep dish as well as thin crust. Taste very fresh and properly baked. The staff member, Liz, when I was there what’s very much on the ball. Knew the menu well, made good suggestions, and checked up on us just when we were ready. The pizzas we’re assembled and baked so plan on waiting like half an hour after ordering.

I’ve ordered from Rance’s Chicago Pizza before and had good experiences, but this visit was disappointing.
This was an online order that I had already paid for. When I arrived, the server handed me a credit card receipt to add a tip, which felt awkward given that the order was prepaid. When I questioned it, he seemed visibly put off.
After that, I was still waiting for my pizza. I noticed a box sitting on the counter but assumed it was for someone else. After more than five minutes, the server finally walked over to that same box and then called me over, telling me I would need to cut the pizza at home. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all—only two tables were occupied—yet the interaction felt rushed and inattentive.
Unfortunately, the pizza itself also wasn’t as good as the last two times I’ve ordered. Maybe it was the service experience that affected my impression, but overall this visit left a bad taste.
Probably won’t be back.

We ordered a 14-inch deep-dish pepperoni and chicken pizza from this shop, which we chose based on its good reviews and ratings. However, I am extremely disappointed; it was a waste of money. I’m not sure how they received their “award” but the pizza was tasteless.

We recently dined at Rance’s Chicago Pizza, hoping to enjoy some classic deep-dish. While the staff were friendly, our experience left much to be desired, especially regarding service, food quality, and overall satisfaction.
First, the wait was incredibly long. Despite ordering two small and one large deep-dish pizzas, we waited over 45 minutes for our food, with no explanation for the delay. There were only 2 other tables there.
When it finally arrived, we were excited by the presentation—the pizzas looked visually appealing, with vibrant layers of cheese, sauce, and toppings. However, the crust was a huge letdown. It tasted suspiciously like pre-made dough, similar to a store-bought, tube-style crust rather than the freshly-made, buttery crust we expected in a deep-dish pizza.
On top of that, the crust and overall bake seemed undercooked. After waiting 45 minutes in the oven, it should have been thoroughly cooked, yet it was doughy and somewhat raw in parts, especially under the toppings. This became apparent when we both suffered from stomach issues later in the night, enduring severe diarrhea likely caused by the undercooked dough.
Finally, a minor yet notable issue: when it came time to pay, the server handed the check to my date, despite my name being clearly printed on the card. This small act felt awkward and somewhat emasculating, making the end of the meal even less pleasant.
Overall, while the presentation of Rance’s pizzas is enticing, the lengthy wait, questionable crust quality, and uncomfortable service left us disappointed. This experience was far from what we expected, and unfortunately, it’s not a place we’ll be revisiting. Total bill after 18% Tip was $100. Not worth it for me.
