• Pizzeria • Laguna Beach
Booked 187 times today
We arrived ( with reservations ) about 10 min early but no need. As the crowd was full & people keep coming in! We were seated at our reserved time - our waiter Andrew was awesome & very helpful with the menu. Our 1st time here & it was thee best pizza ( we are pizza snobs! ) we ever had!! We ordered the Champion Tomatoe round regular crust & the Mama Mia square with the sesame butter crust, both so full of flavor, love the crispy crust very filling & needed a box for both ( half leftovers both pizzas! ) yes! Worth every penny! The soft serve ice cream with olive oil / lemon / sea salt was ssoo good!! Who would have thought! Highly recommend & will be back as a regular often!

Beautiful day to dine outside on Forest Ave before the rains come. The service was attentive, the recommendations excellent, and was delighted to try something new, the Japanese catfish tacos did not disappoint.

We have been going there for years. The food is really very good as well as the service. We love to cook and don't eat out a lot...Japanese is something I do not cook. They are really good food and good value.
