Craftsmanship
Where Every Slice Tells a Story
"Great pizza isn't just about ingredients — it's about the people gathered around the table sharing it."
Round table pizza was born from a simple yet powerful idea: that the round table — with no head and no foot — represents equality, community, and togetherness. In 1959, our founder William Larson opened the first location with a wood-fired oven and a dream of serving the most authentic, handcrafted round table pizza in the United States.
From those humble beginnings in Mission Viejo, CA, we've grown into a beloved institution while staying true to the recipes and values that started it all. Every pizza is still made by hand, every sauce still prepared fresh daily, and every customer still treated like family seated at our legendary round table.
Today, we continue to honor that legacy — using locally sourced ingredients where possible, training our team with care, and dedicating ourselves to making every visit an experience worth returning for.
