Selma's Chicago Pizzeria & Tap Room - Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688

Fantastic lunch specials. We like to get a half sandwich, salad and fries, but they have choices. The associates are all terrific. Well knowledgeable about what they serve, and attentive. We often come with our two big dogs, there is a wonderful outdoor patio and the associates always bring a big bowl of water for our furry friends.
I love the holy cow sandwich, tender juicy thin sliced sirloin steak with grilled onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms topped with melted provolone served on a fresh house made roll. Depending on the season i honestly enjoy a side sald with ranch dressing to accompany my sandwich and always always always I enjoy the crisp beer battred french fries. On cold days I absolutely enjoy the creamy house made tomato bisque soup, it’s an out of the park home run! My granddaughter absolutely loves the minestrone soup and the fried calamari, my favorite appetizer is the house made spinach artichoke dip served with house made French bread!
Selmas pizzas are absolutely wonderful! They make everything in house so it’s easy to get pizza exactly how you like it, and if you don’t see what you’re looking for on the menu, just ask they can make it your way. You can’t go wrong with Selmas.
The kitchen is bright and open easy to watch the chefs at work. They offer great kids parties where the kids get to work with the chefs learning and creating their own pizza!
The dining area, the bar, the patio and restrooms have delightful Chicago and Wrigley Field decor, and are always very well maintained and clean.

BEWARE!! Had been coming to Selma’s for 11 years and never had an issue with my orders or food. I received a doordash gift card and decided to order online. I CLEARLY ordered my pizza without PEPPERONI and even paid doordash fees to have it delivered and all totally $50 when the pizza is actually $26 if we would have just driven 15 minutes to eat there. Anywho the RECEIPT SHOWS NO PEPPERONI and the manager DID NOT want to admit to their mistake and said it was NOT their fault so they could NOT REMAKE IT or REFUND US. Doordash did not want to refund us either because it was SELMA’S Fault for not looking closely at the order. I will not be buying from Selmas they were not understanding and did not provide a resolution. They did not care and shoved the problem over to doordash when the issue was WITH THEM ADDING PEPPERONI when it did NOT SAY TO ADD the pepperoni. I’m so upset and disappointed.

$4 beer, $4 soup and a $14 Calzone with 2 toppings. I really liked the Honey Blonde House Brew and the soup was very good – with the exception that it should be served with some type of bread. The bar tender asked me right away if I wanted a dinner roll and after the first was done I asked for another which was not an issue. Overall the place has a great atmosphere, low playing current and past rock music from various time periods. The tables are clean, the people are friendly, the waiters, servers and hosts are on point and I will be back. Unless my Calzone fails, they earned 4 stars. They lost 1 point because I was asked to wait for the manager to place my order at the restaurant and they never came. When I walked over to the bar, they gave me service right away.

Ordered the extreme meat pasta, expecting a fair ratio of sauce to pasta, felt like I paid $20 for a bunch of noodles. I would urge Selma’s staff to be a bit more generous with the sauce, isn’t that what a customer is paying for? And how much more would it actually cost them to add another scoop or two of sauce. See below, the picture on the right is what’s advertised on their website, the picture on the right is what I received. Very unsatisfactory. No extreme meat for sure and definitely not enough sauce.

Our deep dish cheese pizza was a real showstopper! Topped with fresh, chopped tomatoes, it arrived piping hot and perfectly cooked. The pizza dough was baked to a perfect crisp on the outside, while remaining chewy on the inside. The melted cheese was rich and creamy, complemented beautifully by the burst of freshness from the tomatoes. Each bite was a delight, with the combination of textures and flavors melding together in perfect harmony.”

Went there 2 weeks ago.
The hostess didn’t make any effort to seat guests who were waiting. She also messed up another customer’s order and argued with them, saying “this is what you get.” The same happened to us, despite claiming she’d worked there for a year, our order was missing items and a salad served improperly. Multiple customers walked out, and we did too. A grumpy attitude and poor service are the last things anyone wants during lunch.

Ordered takeout (small pedal to the metal Chicago pie, turkey sandwich, meatball sandwich, and party ship cookie) $60. After reading the reviews we were excited for chicago pie. The crust was more of a deep dish bjs pizza (kinda soggy soft and geasy). The meatball was unfortunately bland. The beer battered fries with the sandwich were soggy and kind of a weird menu item. I’m sure they would have been better dine in and not take out. The cookie was burnt and hard to bite through. Overall the only item that tasted as expected was the turkey sandwich.

The food here is good, and the service is usually fine (sometimes can be slow when they are busy). Its close to my house to come watch football and not as noisy as some sports bars. Where it all goes downhill is how hot they keep it inside. It was 80-85° last time I was here and I was sweating through the whole football game. My friend (who usually runs cold and who also does hot yoga) was also sweating. We didn’t bother to complain because we already know what the answer is, but we did overhear other people complaining about how hot it was. The staff will just insist “the air is already on”. Its something I have reached out to the company about before, hoping to resolve the issue so we can still enjoy going there in the Summer. But I got the same response, that they do run the air and their AC bill is very expensive. However, as someone who personally works for an HVAC company, I can tell you that if you are running your air and it’s only cooling down to 80°, your AC is NOT working properly. After eating here my friend and I had to go into walmart to cool down, where the AC was working great. Selmas has the potential to be a 5 star place, but they certainly would need to get the establishment to a decent temperature.

Fantastic selection of delicious pizzas, pastas, salads, sandwiches and wings! I’ve never been disappointed by the food or large selection of rotating craft beers. It’s been a favorite spot of mine for years!

First time here. I saw the sign off Santa Margarita for years. Just never stopped here.

I had a few free moments in the area so I decided to give it a try. I love pizza.

The place was pretty quite as it was after lunch. Staff was super attentive.

I ordered a Da’Vinny personal lunch special. Deep dish Pizza and a salad. The salad was quite generous and delicious. The blue cheese was nice and strong if you know what I mean.

The crust of the pizza was perfect. Crispy. But not too hard. The pepperoni, Italian sausage, and marinara sauce were a perfect balance.

Definitely will come back. And recommended
