Ok so I was so hungry and everything looked so good, I forgot to take pictures before we dug in. Sue me! We occasionally do pizza crawls but today was my birthday so we decided on pizza because why not. We live in Central Orange county so this was a little bit of a drive, about 35 minutes. Well worth the time, I'd say. We ordered a whole pizza, half Speziata, half meatball. The Speziata was my favorite. The balance with the ricotta, pancetta and calabrian chili honey was spectacular! The meatball was delicious, 100%. But I would consider that a more regular type pizza with exceptional crust and sauce. Now, the loaded garlic knots!!!! OMG! I am so glad we don't live closer. I would be in some trouble. We also had the buffalo wings and would easily come back for those as well. My friend asked if I would make the drive again and I said I would. It's surely not a long drive but there are sooooo many places in Orange county to get pizza, it's hard to make that call. It absolutely makes my list of go to pizza places! And it's a short list.

Great atmosphere and great customer service. Has a family run feel to it, good old fashioned sodas in glass bottles. Now the pizza, fresh ingredients you can taste, pepperoni is crisp and fresh as well. Sauce is fresh but could use a little more salt and garlic bite for me. The deduction is for the undercarriage. Needs a more of an undercarriage in order to be considered a higher quality NY slice. Little to no crisp. Would love to come back and try again. Hoping they adjust these two things and would be very hard to beat. The atmosphere is so good reminds me of the old school neighborhood spot so I can see why people would come here regularly if you live local. Garlic knots are awesome, fresh butter and minced garlic blend is on point.

Absolutely love this pizza spot. The food is consistently delicious, and the customer service is outstanding. I’ve ordered from here twice now, and both experiences have been excellent. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which makes a huge difference. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great pizza and great service.
