    Easily one of the top 3 pizzas I’ve had in Orange County! We ordered the cheese and pepperoni pizza, and it was perfection—thin, crisp, and packed with incredible fresh flavor. Absolutely worth coming here just for that. We also tried the burrata, which was good but on the smaller side. However, the grilled sourdough it came with was fantastic and made up for it. The crispy porchetta was solid, but the real star of the meal was definitely the pizza. Service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and prompt. Already looking forward to coming back!
