  This is about our fifth time here. We always enjoy our experience with the staff and the food is excellent. We weren’t particularly a fan of the Umami mushroom pizza. It had a small amount of mushrooms on it as it was more Asian flavor …

  Today, I finally visited the world-famous Truly Pizza. As soon as I arrived, I put my name on the waiting list, and they told me it would be a two-hour wait. …

  We’ve been trying to get into Truly Pizza in Dana Point for a while now, but reservations are very hard to come by. Since we were in the area, we decided to try a walk-in. The wait was about an hour, but it was completely worth it.

  For the past few years, I’d been hearing about Truly Pizza in Dana Point, so we finally made the trip even without reservations. As a group of five, we were told the wait would be about an hour and a half and that we’d be seated at the

  Truly Pizza is exceptional. You can tell immediately that there is a tremendous amount of care and attention to detail behind the food.

  The #48 Pizzeria in the World! In our quest to visit as many of the Top 50 Pizzerias in the World as we can as we travel, we made a point of stopping at Truly Pizza in Dana Point en route to San Diego to see the Savannah Bananas perform the following day. Anyhow, we walked in at 4pm and put our name on the list. Our wait was approximately 20 minutes. We parked on the street. Once our name was called, we were seated at a comfortable outdoor table. The restaurant can accommodate a lot of people, with seating downstairs, upstairs, at the counter, and outside. The pizzeria is attractively appointed with lots of greenery and a light and airy, yet upscale beach vibe (see photo). Upscale plus beach vibe may seem anachronistic, but it worked. The upstairs bathroom is clean and nicely decorated; it is accessible by elevator or staircase. Our server, Tommy, had a winning personality, in large part because he clearly cared about the pizzas, explaining the menu thoroughly and asking us questions so that he was making sure to recommend the right items for us. I started with their Spagnola Salad minus the prosciutto. What great ingredients - I don't often see Marcona almonds on a salad. Delicious. We tasted a variety of their pizza styles, including a bubbly, crusty, substantial crust on a white pizza with a generous amount of cheese and chicken apple sausage - the Dante (see photo). This pizza was not too spicy, despite the name, just as Tommy had assured us. The appetizer pizza, which was not on the menu, had a unique, cracker thin, dark crust (as if it had buckwheat flour? I should have inquired), red sauce, one stretchy dollop of burrata, and one half of a grape tomato per slice (see photo). Our food came out fairly quickly, completely accurately, and really nicely presented. The wait staff were attentive, and the prices were mid-range. It was a pleasure to eat at the #48 pizzeria in the world. Truly Pizza richly deserves its spot on this prestigious list, and I am very happy we went here.

  They changed the cheese pizza, and it's SO disappointing. Now it’s a bland, forgettable slice sitting on a crust that used to be legendary, and honestly the crust alone isn’t worth showing up for anymore. The quality tanked the second they got greedy and opened two more locations, and now they’re even pushing chicken wings like they’re trying to be every generic chain at once. Watching a place that used to be incredible sell itself out this fast is just sad.

  This place is worth all the hype. The location, staff…. Oh and the pizza - superb. I wish we could’ve tried all of their menu but the single pizza we got (Smokey vodka?) was so amazing. We did reserve about three weeks out and were glad we did- it’s a popular place even for lunch. We would suggest it to anyone headed to Dana point

  I USED to love Truely Pizza in Dana Point, but the last three visits have been disappointing. The toppings are getting thinner and thinner. Today was a disaster and we will not be a customer any longer. Today was a repeat of a previous take-out order. I called to order the pizza. For the second time, when my husband brought it home and opened the box, it was NOT the pizza we ordered. When I called to tell them of the mistake, they said they had already made us the correct pizza. I asked if they would keep it warm until my husband could drive back because the last time this happened, the second pizza was cold. They said yes. But they did not, The pizza was completely cold. Additionally, the girl on the phone said she called me when they discovered they had given my husband the wrong pizza. However, I had NO MESSAGE from Truely Pizza on my phone. Never going back!!

  Too high to qualify. They did not make me feel welcome at all. Food would be second to hospitality for me so I did not choose to spend my money here.
