I weny here to grade papers after a hike nearby. The waitress was nice and checked in on me frequently. There was an outlet to charge my computer. More importantly, the short rib ravioli woth mushroom cream sauce and garlic bread was so decacadent and perfectly seasoned. Ate every drop. Also had a Ladera Lemonade. Since it was a Monday, it was only like 9 bucks. Just a perfect end to the day.
Colin was awesome at Selma’s Pizza. Even as a busser and making salads, he was working hard the whole time and had such a good attitude. Our table was cleared quickly, everything stayed clean, and the salads were fresh and made perfectly. He was super respectful and always moving, making sure things ran smoothly. You can tell he really cares about doing a good job, Selma’s is lucky to have him.
Best Chicago style IN OC! I tried the peppy pizza with riacata cheese,goat cheese and made it Chicago style ($5 extra). I would definitely recommend their Chicago style pizzas, personally best item on their menu. Paid $44 for a large pizza that I added custom things to. Honestly was very worth the price and it filled me so I wasn't hesitant about the price. Would definitely for special occasions or unless you want an amazing pizza!
Really love this. As a Chicagoan I have a problem comparing it to home. But now as a resident here I'll say it's closer to anything you'll find outside of the city. Get pizza here. Enjoy it. It's awesome.
We moved away from OC 5 years ago. Selma's was always our favorite pizza place when we lived here so when visiting, we had to go for dinner. You know how you have great memories of places when you move away only to be disappointed when you finally go back? Well, I am happy to say that was not the case here. It was even better than we remembered. It was a busy Friday night but we were able to sit at the bar. Service was fast and the pizza and beer were amazing. Highly recommended!
