Dang! My favorite pizza place too! Wood fired oven, and Napoletan traditional style pies…..MMMMmmmMMmmmmmmmmm!


Palo Mesa is an international prize winning pizza, being #3 of the top best in the United States, and #1 at the International Pizza Expo in Vegas. There is, virtually, no better pizza to be had in California!

Subjective.


I know of two pizza joints in Costa Mesa, CA that beat any attempt in SLO Cty.


I’ll die trying to prove myself wrong though.

Costa Mesa would benefit from having you as a resident.

Glad no employees or customers were hurt. No crocodile tears for Palo Mesa Pizza though. The last one I got was with artichoke hearts, plus other meats and veggies. All anyone could taste was vinegar. The partially eaten and uneaten slices all went into the trash.

Based on only the lede, all the way from up here in A-town, I envisioned that particular pizza joint getting hit by a vehicle. That sux for everyone involved.
