Angelina’s Pizzeria Napoletana (Dana Point – CLOSED)

  • Dough is good, cooked to the point between fully cooked and undercooked
  • Dough would be good for garlic bread
  • Cheese is good
  • Sauce doesn’t have a taste
  • Sprinkle fresh Parmesan
  • Pizza can get “doughy” after a couple slices (ie: too much dough not even flavor from sauce and cheese. Dough definitely overpowers the flavor)
  • Basil is ok

Rating: 7/10

Price: $16

Notes:
Dana Point location is CLOSED, but Irvine Spectrum is still open
