    Very fun and pretty atmosphere, and the pizza is wow! Crisp and chewy crust, with very flavorful toppings. The garlic cheese bread was super delicious and we loved the crispy wings as well! We will be back!

    Cold and windy. Heaters not warm enough, server not attentive maybe because under staffed but rarely checked on us. Waited to long for food to come out. Warmer weather is nice there. Food outstanding!

    I was really looking forward to taking our friends to Truly Pizza in Dana Point. Sadly I was very disappointed. Although the ambiance is lovely I could get a better pizza at Blaze for half the price. I ordered a pizza that had prosciutto as one of the toppings. It was so fatty I could not eat it. The sauce was also almost nonexistent. My fiends were also disappointed. The pizzas lacked flavor. My husband ordered the wedge salad and it was very good. I asked for a cup of coffee. They don't have coffee. There was one server for the upstairs area and he could have used some help. He was great but there should have been at least two. I won't go back and neither will my friends. BTW, this is the first review I've ever done which speaks to how disappointed I was.

    Our server was exceptional. He was there when you needed him but never inserted himself into our evening. Very helpful while ordering and had a wonderful sense of humor with our family.

    Enjoyed a date night with husband and service was excellent as was ambience. Square pizza was good but a bit too much dough. Next time going to try Artisan pizza. Would return again to try other items.
