When you go - bring your patience this is not fast food - it is a work of art. FYI Service onsite is faster. It was well worth the wait! We live in Atlanta with access to the excellent Pizza Antico Neopolitan pizza but were blown away by this Connecticut pizza in California! We had the Sting Ray pizza and Arancini. Regret not bringing the leftovers home on the plane the next morning. Would you Please setup shop in Roswell or Alpharetta, GA!

Apizza Doho, Dana Point…read more Our first visit to Apizza Doho in Dana Point turned into one of those dinners we'll genuinely remember. Great pizza, a fun atmosphere, wonderful service, and quality time together made this a very easy 5-star experience. We started with the zucchini chips, which were crispy, flavorful, light, and incredibly easy to keep eating. Definitely a great appetizer for the table. For our pizzas, we ordered The Original and The Bee Sting. The Original was an excellent introduction to their New Haven-style pizza. The crust had a beautiful char, great texture, and plenty of flavor on its own. You can tell the dough is given real time and attention rather than being rushed. Then came The Bee Sting. This was probably the standout for us. Sweet, spicy, savory, smoky, cheesy--it all worked together without any one flavor overpowering the others. It was the kind of pizza where everyone keeps reaching for another slice. Their 24-hour fermented dough made with aged biga really shows in the finished crust. There is genuine craftsmanship behind it. Ryan made the evening even better. Our server Ryan was outstanding. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, patient, and extremely attentive throughout the meal. One thing that especially stood out was how perfectly he handled our drink refills. I would take a few sips of my ginger ale or water, and somehow Ryan already seemed to know when another refill was needed. Our glasses practically never had a chance to become empty. It sounds like a small thing, but excellent hospitality often shows itself through details exactly like that. Ryan was attentive without hovering, helpful without rushing us, and seemed equally attentive to the other guests around us. Apizza Doho management: Ryan deserves recognition. He represents your restaurant extremely well. The restaurant itself had a great vibe--casual, cozy, lively, family-friendly, and welcoming. There was plenty of energy in the room, but we could still relax, talk, laugh, and enjoy dinner together. Afterward, we took a short walk nearby and grabbed some ice cream. Pizza, dessert, coastal air, conversation, and time together made for a pretty perfect Dana Point evening. Our ratings: Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Zucchini Chips: Definitely order them The Original: Excellent The Bee Sting: Must-try Service: Ryan absolutely nailed it We came looking for great pizza and left with full stomachs, happy hearts, and a wonderful family memory. Thank you to Ryan, the kitchen staff, and everyone at Apizza Doho who made our first visit such a good one. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely be back. And if Ryan happens to be your server, you're in very good hands.

We tried Truly Pizza for the first time this week and loved it so much that we came back again just…read morea few days later. On our first visit, we ordered the Crispy Pepperoni and the Sweet & Spicy Square. Both were excellent. This time around, we tried the Crispy Pepperoni with honey and the Supreme Square, and once again everything was phenomenal. The pizzas have the perfect combination of crispy edges, great texture, quality toppings, and incredible flavor. Definitely get the sesame crust. It takes an already great pizza to another level and has quickly become a must for us. What really made our second visit stand out, though, was Hailey. She was beyond classy and genuinely could not have been more hospitable. She was attentive, warm, polished, and made us feel incredibly welcome without ever being overbearing. That type of service makes a huge difference and deserves to be recognized. Between the food, atmosphere, and hospitality, Truly Pizza has very quickly earned a spot in our regular rotation. Going twice in one week should tell you how much we enjoyed it. We'll definitely be back.

I took my family to Truly Pizza on Del Prado Ave in Dana Point for the first time and really…read moreenjoyed our experience. The ambiance at Truly Pizza was great and the staff was super friendly. The open-air patio made us feel like we were in Europe. I'd heard reservations were needed, but we went without one and only waited five minutes to be seated. Our food was excellent and the staff was very accommodating with my two year old grandson. We also learned a bit of food history: although Caesar salad is often thought of as Italian, it was actually created in Tijuana, Mexico, in 1924 by Italian immigrant restaurateur Caesar Cardini. We ordered the pizza, choosing from three different crusts. I especially liked the square and sesame crusts. Our favorites were the sweet-and-spicy pizza and the Mike's Honey pizza, both had great flavor combinations. Dessert was a bit more hit-or-miss for me. I could have passed on the ice cream with olive oil. Something about the combination didn't quite work for me; it reminded me of eating a salad with ice cream. Overall, Truly Pizza was a fantastic experience, with a beautiful atmosphere, welcoming service, and excellent pizza. I'd definitely come back for the pizza and patio alone.

With no ranch the sauces we got on the side were the chipotle and marinara were not good. But the chimichuri was very good. And I want to try the blue cheese next time. I also really liked the jalapenos I added. Their pizza was wayyyy better than the fake hype at Truly--facts! I saw people complaining about service etc so hopefully will still have a positive experience dining in as well.

We came into Homeslice today to watch the USA v Belgium World Cup game. We arrived around 5:10pm…read morejust after the game started, and were seated at a table on the patio. There was a large group of people (started as a group of five but grew to about 10-12 people) who ended up bleeding into the table next to us and asked if they could take our two extra chairs. Being friendly, we said "sure, no problem!". Shortly after, Marc came over and asked if our chairs had been taken and we let them know that the group next to us asked for them. In response, with deep condescension he responded "No, that isn't okay we have a lot of people waiting", which we understood but we also don't work there and aren't going to be rude to fellow patrons. He then told the group next to us he needed the chairs back only to not actually use said chairs for seated guests. It left all of us very confused for the unnecessary interaction. About 15 minutes later, my husband was looking for our server to order another drink and close out, when Marc came up and told us he needed the table. Mind you, we took time out of our evening to get there early for the game (as did everyone else that evening) and there was no signage nor a heads up from the team onsite that there was a limit on the tables, especially as we weren't the only people there for the very same reason. We had been there about 1.5 hours at that point and there was only a little bit left in the game. The group next to us who had also been there the entire time, and got sat before we did, weren't told they needed to get up, but we were given the third degree for our two spots. When my husband asked if he could get that next drink, Marc responded "I don't take orders" and walked away. Our server then proceeded to not check on us for an additional 20 minutes (we were trying to close out as requested), which ironically made it so we took up their table for the remainder of the game. He also mentioned that he ran into a similar issue with guests the previous week for the game, which sounds to me like an opportunity for better problem-solving skills and coaching amongst the team, not a customer-issue. All of this, only for there to be NO wait when we left AND open tables. Being that my husband and I are both in hospitality management, we were extremely frustrated by the lack of respect and embarrassing customer service by none other than Marc Sullivan, a co-owner of Homeslice. I think it's a bare minimum ask that the management and ownership, have the same decency and respect for paying customers that they expect of the rest of their service staff. By the time we got to our car it was 7pm and hadn't even been two full hours, all for our table to not even be needed. Totally understand it being a busy night but highly recommend that the team game plan better rather than making it the customers' responsibility to highlight where this situation could have been improved. Really bummed to have this experience as we're DP locals and love coming to eat/drink here!

We went in to talk to them and make sure they would still be open at 6:00. A very nice lady helped us (I should have gotten her name) and we had a good time laughing about needing a man's pizza (we chose the Tiboro). And for the ladies pizza (half Whitestone and 1/2 Tomato garlic basil). The pizza was ready at the time we requested. Everyone loved the pizza and the party was saved. The pizza is hand tossed thin crust. They offer gluten free and cauliflower crusts. There are several specialty pizzas or you can create your own. They also sell pizza by the slice and they offer wings with several different types of sauce. We will be back!

I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu! Must try! And honestly, it's also such a cute spot for a date!

Casanova Ristorante has been in the same shopping center in Dana Point for decades and this was the…read morefirst time I finally enjoyed their food. First off, it has a great vibe inside with large booths, a bar, and then on the other side more of a dining vibe, and an outdoor patio. I went on a Saturday night around 6:45 and there was plenty of seating available. We started with some complimentary focaccia with olive oil and balsamic, and then I ordered the cheese and spinach ravioli, that comes with a small side salad. My friend ordered the chicken Parmesan and I highly recommend. That one also comes with a baby side salad as well as broccolini and a small portion of delicious fettuccini Alfredo. It was quite the meal. We finished dinner with one of the best pieces of tiramisu I've ever had. The portion was huge, enough to have some left over for later. I wish I could remember our server's name...she was wonderful! Super friendly and helpful. She also gave great recommendations on what to order. Looking forward to coming back soon!

This place is amazing, white table cloths with black napkins, dogs on the patio, wonderful quiet postured and polite service. We ordered drinks and the the bruschetta, shrimp scampi and shrimp risotto. All of was delicately flavored with all the Italian flavors, olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, just exquisite! Then, had to try the desserts, we were set on spumoni, but the waiter recommended the chocolate cake. It was served with vanilla ice cream, yum. The chocolate was moist had walnuts and like a brownie and not too rich either. Perfect! Certainly will be going back here and bringing the pup with us. We loved the open air and breeze and the walls are high enough to block the sight of cars. Twinkle light up above add a nice touch. They also had a separate water boy, impeccably dressed and well mannered. So nice to see staff so attentive to really good service with kindness and caring tones. Can't wait for the next happy hour! If I could add on stars I would give this place 10!

The latte is a really good cafe style latte, very simple but well done on the steaming and espresso pull. I love the kouign amann. Super flaky. The cookies and really firm but taste wonderful. Kind of like a thick chocolate chip Cookie Crisp. My only recommendation is that they could offer to heat up the pastry. If they don't offer then it becomes too much to ask. I don't want to make the effort and feel like I'm inconveniencing them.
