I took my family to Truly Pizza on Del Prado Ave in Dana Point for the first time and really enjoyed 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.
