Rance's Chicago Pizza Menu Overview
Nestled in the heart of Costa Mesa on Baker Street, Rance's Chicago Pizza offers a bold taste of authentic Chicago-style deep-dish alongside pan and thin crust pizzas.

Starters to Kick Off Your Meal
Begin your culinary journey with a selection of mouthwatering starters made to excite your palate. From the classic Buffalo Wings drenched in a mildly tangy house-made buffalo sauce to the crowd-favorite Bacon Maple Bourbon Wings, which masterfully blend smoky bacon with sweet bourbon glaze. For those seeking an adventurous twist, the Spicy Thai Wings offer a vibrant kick of peanut sauce and fresh green onions. Vegetarians will appreciate the Garlic Cheesy Sticks—crispy toasted ciabatta infused with garlic butter, herbs, and topped with melted mozzarella, served alongside tangy marinara. The rich Artichoke and Bacon Dip combines creamy cheeses, jalapeños, and red onions with bacon bits, served with crostinis, while the Spinach N Feta Salad balances fresh spinach, cranberry raisins, candied walnuts, and honey cider vinaigrette for a refreshing start.
Signature Mains: Pizzas That Define Chicago
At the heart of Rance’s menu lies a rich variety of pizzas, featuring three iconic styles — stuffed, pan, and thin — available in several sizes to satisfy solo diners or groups. Each pizza is crafted with generous layers of mozzarella cheese, savory toppings, and vibrant tomato-based sauces.
- Stuffed Pizzas feature thick, hearty crusts packed with mozzarella and topped with zesty tomato sauce that bursts with flavor.
- Pan Pizzas delight with their buttery crusts and classic mozzarella and tomato combinations that are simple yet deeply satisfying.
- Thin Pizzas offer a lighter option with smooth marinara sauce and just the right amount of mozzarella cheese on a crisp crust, perfect for those who enjoy a less filling slice.

While Rance’s specialty is undoubtedly its pizza and wings, guests can also enjoy a variety of carefully selected beers and wines, complementing the robust flavors of their meal.
