    Best pizza crust in the OC. Pastas and salads also great, and wine by glass selection is decent

    The crust on the border could be less burnt but overall it is a good Neapolitan style pizza. If you like spicy food, ask for the spicy oil: it is flavorful, dense and ... hot!

    Great service! I had the Margherita pizza, which was delicious. Even better was the Tiramisu! Definitely recommend dessert!

    Get the Budino di Cioccolato! Cream top, decadent chocolate middle, and dark custard manna on the bottom, with sprinkles of salt throughout to enliven the senses with a dissenting, magnificent note! Read more

    If there is an event going on, don't pay the $8 parking fee. Just tell them you are going to the pizzeria and get a ticket. The restaurant validates!

    Nothing on the menu sounds appealing. After ordering the best of the limited options, nothing I ordered tastes good. Not impressed with the food or the service. Not recommended.

    Not that great anymore. I used to love this place, but the quality has declined in the past few months. Pizzas come out chewy. How hard is it to fully cookand slice up a pizza?

    Pizza is good. Stick to that. (Other plates look pretty and that's it.)

    Have a pizza - it's the closest you'll ever get to an authentic European-style pizza in OC.
