Cosentino's Pizza

I had allergies and they took care of me and it was delicious

Living in SC this is our favorite pizza spot by far. Not only do they have the best pizza, the view is great as well. Their gluten free pizza is incredible! Also we had a issue once with a take out mistake and the staff corrected their error as they gave us a regular pizza and not GF. Thankfully we aren't allergic and it's a preference but continue to be extra careful or even buy a sticker to put on the box denoting GF.

5 star all the way! Bbq Chicken Pizza with added hot honey on top is fire! Pizza thickness was perfect. Tons of flavor! The gal taking orders was juggling a lot and still had a welcoming spirit and a smile on her face. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Delicious Pizza. Homemade pizza sauce. We take the metrolink from Riverside to San Clemente pier. Walking distance to restaurant. Make a trip at least once a month.

Location AND views AND always great pizza! My favorite stop on the weekends on my drive back home to San Diego. The seating area is tiny, so get your pizza to go and find a nice picnic table, grass area or a spot on the sand by the water to enjoy your food!

Absolutely delicious! One of the best Pizza's I have had. We had the garlic white pizza. Very nice and friendly staff. Fantastic ocean view!

Best pizza I’ve had in a long time. On par with New York. Satisfaction guaranteed. 10/10.

This is an old school, scratched floor, slightly cramped, pizzeria. I don't think it's been updated in decades. And that's what I love about it. Great food and prices. Huge glasses for draft beer. And the best thing about it is the long front, outdoor facing window counter where you can watch the sun go down and people watch to your heart's content while sipping beer and munching on pizza. Thank you Cosentinos for staying the same. Don't ever change.

Delicious! I ordered take out pizza & boneless wings. The Margherita pizza was so fresh and light. The crust was very good (not too heavy)! The wings were awesome! Great option to stop by if you are visiting the pier.

Love Cosentino’s! I finally found a place that has ranch better than Wingstop lol. You can purchase it by the slice if you’re solo or a box if you’re with a big party. Has cute beach front seating, and I love that the staff are always smiling and friendly! I’d recommend the ‘Large Double Pepperoni Pizza drizzled w Mike’s Hot Honey’! The crust isn’t too thick how I like it, the honey isn’t overbearing, and they actually add double pepperoni compared to other places. 10/10! ⭐️

Amazing food! We had a calzone and a sub sandwich, which came out really fast, both were delicious and HUGE portions. Nice location right by the beach, but not too expensive.

Came here for a quick dinner snack and got 2 personal pizzas, drinks and cheesy garlic bread. Service, location and food were great! Since it is a small shop there's not plenty of seats inside but you got a whole beach to sit on!

Popped over for some pizza and more importantly… some garlic knots !! Surprisingly a lot of seating inside, but you can’t beat the outdoor tables w the ocean view. Everything was hot and fresh. Appreciated the kind staff and cooks:)

Great thin crust pizza! The cheese was cooked perfectly. We ordered the small and it was perfect for the 2 of us. For $10, and with views of the ocean, I don’t know how you can beat this place!

This place is fantastic. The pizza crust is real old world style. Thanks for the offering of vegan cheese. The gluten free crust is also vegan. The staff is friendly and courteous. And you certainly can't beat the ocean view! 8 beers on tap for such a small place is stellar, but the careful choices are the real gem.

A great place to vibe with a beautiful ocean view. The pizza is delicious — I highly recommend the cheese sticks

This is probably one of the best pizza places in SoCal, specifically San Clemente. If you're in the area, you're missing out if you're not going to enjoy their pizza and the staff is amazing. Appreciate everybody that helped us.

What a treat this place was. Great view of the ocean and amazing food. The Italian Hoagie was 10/10 and the garlic cheesy bread is a must have. Make sure you try the Blood Orange Lager to wash it all down. Would come back again and again.

Firstly, great pizza with plenty of flavor and quality ingredients. Quality of food always comes before amenities and ambiance, so I have to rate Cosentino's highly just based on the food. There isn't much to say about amenities. There is a small dining area, with a bathroom in the back and some outside seating so getting a place to sit with a party of more than four, might be a little tough. Most locals seemed to be getting it to go and eating nearby at the park or pier. The ambiance is great with waves crashing in the distance, a quaint little area of eateries that line the street just across from the beach and pier. My family of five had a great time and everyone enjoyed the reasonably priced food and drinks.

This place is recommended from me, it has very quality sauce, and a very good crust and you are going to love it, that’s all you need crust and sauce top notch

got a chicken parm sub, took more than promised 15mins... but sub is good, chicken is soft and tender inside, sauce is not too salty.. had to scrape off some cheeze, even though supposed to be easy cheese

Pretty good pizza. Worth coming back for. Across road from the beach. Check them out. Had a large pepperoni and bell pepper pizza.

This place brings up childhood memories for me when I used to go down to San Clemente during the summer and hang out and surf all day and for lunch walk across the street and grab a slice of pizza and drink from the liquor store next door. I'm not sure if anybody else has the same memories but to put a price on Nostalgia is impossible and the food is not bad either so that has to count for something

Prices are amazing for being basically beachfront. As you might expect it's a long wait especially during summer. Nice on tap beer selection. They have different pizzas, but for the most part are just different names to your standard pizzas. They do have some exotics Fig and Goat Cheese pizza but with kids we went with Pepperoni and Garlic Chicken. Great spot and very popular so be prepared to wait. But overall we were very satisfied with the pizza.

Great place by the pier. Nice view, Ocean breeze in a unique location in San Clemente

Im from the east coast so its always a struggle to find good pizza on the west coast.. with that being said this pizza was decent especially for being a more touristy/ beach spot. The pizza reminds me of papa Gino's from back home. The waffle fries are amazing!

Pizza with a View!! Talk about a great location! It’s right across the street from the San Clemente Pier. It's perfect for a lunch or dinner at the beach!! You’ll get a view of the sunset, although you’ll get a better view when you walk across the street to the pier. Dine there or get take out and have a picnic by the beach, either on the grass area or at the tables by the sand. There’s a monorail train that runs through so it can be loud. It’s a small pizzeria so seating is limited when it’s busy. The Pizzas were so cheesy and hot when they put them on the table. The smells coming from the food were heavenly! It was definitely enough to feed our group of 8!! Large Pizzas: Pepperoni and Italian Sausage Pepperoni and Meatballs Chicken and Bacon with White sauce The wings with the ranch dip and the garlic Knots were fantastic!!

We got a personal pizza to go. Pepperoni, jalapeno, and onion. It was hot, crunchy, and had good flavor. It fed us both.

Perfect location. Next to surfliner pick up and drop off. Next to ice cream. Next to pier. Parking is not bad. Service great. Pizza with pepperoni was great. House blonde and golden tap was good. Prices decent. Clean tables. But no one was brooming up any trash and debree from floor. So I could not get a shot without trash/debree from

This might be the Best place to eat on the pier ( well at least the cheapest ) extra large pepperoni pizza 🍕 $20bucks very Reasonable for this part of town. They are really quick so even though the line may be big it moves fast ( less than 15 minutes ). Only issue. No ice in the ice machine. Unless you like hot soda that is ? Would definitely come back. Pizza 🍕 was a little greasy but still good

We’ll be back 🍕 We ordered a large pepperoni for dinner (very large!). Service was quick. We ordered out so I can’t really comment on the location though it seemed easy going and it’s right by the ocean. The pizza itself was great! If you like thin crust and fresh pizza you should come to this spot. I definitely want to come back and try different pizzas.

I’ll start with the little negative. Low interaction with the staff, they’ll take your order and walk away and move on, however, I understand that it’s a busy spot and they have to be moving quick so overall not a big deal. Now for the pizza! Great pizza, it will take a minute but well worth, the godfather was a meat lover style pizza and it was delicious. This is a spot that you can take a date to, get pizza to go, get a drink at the store next door, and walk like 1 minute to the beach and have a nice picnic at sunset. Amazing location and great pizzas. Will be coming back often

Pretty good but not the best pizza in SC.

Edit from 3 years ago: did they change an ingredient or something for the za because it does NOT taste the same. Went from 5 stars to 2 since the pizza is just okay tasting now. Love, love, love their pizza! The pizza, drink, and salad combo is such a great price. The service is slower, but worth it. Wish there was more seating and maybe more help. I always stop here driving to Los Alamitos. The ocean view puts the icing on the cake too.

We ordered 2 slices and the crust is thin like I like it but the sauce is very sweet.

Stopped by Cosentino’s Pizza and overall it was a decent, straightforward experience. The food is enjoyable and keeps to classic pizza flavors without overcomplicating things. What really stands out is the fabulous location — it’s a great spot to sit, relax, and enjoy the view, which honestly adds a lot to the experience. Prices are reasonable for the area: • Slice combos are around $9–$14 • Personal pizzas are roughly $15 • Medium to large pizzas range between $18–$30+, depending on size and toppings • Desserts like cookies and brownies are about $2.50–$4.50 Not a place that tries to be fancy, but a solid option if you want pizza in a great location with fair pricing.

Just your basic pizza spot.. we were walking the San Clemente beach trail and got hungry this was the first thing we saw. We ordered some slices waited about 15 minutes for it to come out tasting like a few steps up from Little Cesar’s.

Food used to be better, but lately salads are substandard. Good luck getting your complete order, and if you bother to complain about missing items don't expect to get it resolved, especially if Nathan tries to "fix" the problem! Just say goodbye to the $$ you just threw away for food that was never received....

Do yourself a favor and never order anything but the pizza. We made the mistake of ordering some mozzarella sticks that tasted freezer burnt, were soggy and cold, and tasted years old. Not to mention had an odd aftertaste of cinnamon. Don’t serve items if you aren’t going to ensure they’re fresh and worth the price tag

Me and my husband just left the beach craving a pizza slice before our train left and this is what they served us! First impressions last forever! Like how dare they do us like this and serve us some straight garbage. They definitely need better management if this is what they are serving paying customers! They literally just threw it in the box clearly. This pic is exactly what it looked like when we opened the box with disgust untouched to enjoy our slices on the train smdh! #DOBETTERSERVEBETTERFOOD
