    It’s a bit overrated considering the food was not great. The decor and ambiance is nice though !

    Food is excellent as always. Truly pizza may truly have the best pizza in OC if not SoCal. Service is great. All the servers are so nice and accommodating. The price point is also fairly decent. Cocktails are good, and the ambience is very cozy.

    I remembered our first trip to Dana Point. We all were craving pizza. I looked over and saw Truly Pizza. It was a brand new restaurant. So we gave it a try...and we fell in love with the first bite. Its truly something special. You can taste the love, care, and quality that goes into the food. The service isn't bad but it's not that good either. We definitely be back.

    I have enjoyed dinning at Truly Pizza since they have opened. Not once have they ever disappointed! From service to food every experience has been exceptional. Keep up the great work and looking forward to their next venture soon.

    Excellent except being cold due to the weather and heat lamps not working. The blankets were a nice addition.

    Loved it. Just wish there were inside seating options. We dressed warmly but it was still a bit chilly!

    Started off rocky but ended up good. I understand policy but the front reception manager spoke to us in a condescending manner and came across as pretentious. Really put a bad taste in my mouth. He eventually begrudgingly ended up accommodating us in the end but it was the food and service from the server that saved the night.

    *Truly* so delicious! We enjoyed the sweet and sour square pizza and it was one of the better pizzas I’ve had, as it was incredibly flavorful! Will absolutely be coming back here often.
