A San Diego favorite has arrived in O.C., setting up the company’s first local pizzeria in Irvine. Choose from familiar favorites like the Piece of Art (pepperoni, burrata, basil, spicy honey, shaved parmesan), more experimental combinations like the Mr. Moto (Italian sausage, Spanish chorizo, burrata), or the rotating monthly special. All slices are $5 and can be paired with other goodies like calzones ($17), stromboli ($23), or garlic knots ($2). Get creative with a build-your-own medium (starting at $21) or large (starting at $23) pie.
