The other very odd issue was that the restaurant was out of ALL their red wines and only had 2-3 whites in stock (roughly half what was listed on the menu). We had an excellent dinner but I’m a little perplexed by how this place is run-seems quite different from our last visit 2yr ago. Again- thanks to Frankie for his calm and pleasant service! And to the chef- pizza and salad were perfect.

However, the food more than made up for any disappointments. It was excellent, everything we chose-beet salad, meatballs, pizza, pasta and sandwich were excellent. Service was good as well and it was pretty quiet, which was great for us.

We were ignored for 20 minutes after being seated until the hostess noticed and came to bring us water and take our order. We ordered everything at once in case we never saw a server again. Once the food came, no one checked on us. We had to ask for silverware. Didn’t get a chance to order a second glass of wine. We were seated inside and were acknowledged once the entire place cleared out. And to think 18% is the minimum for tip on the check. 18% for doing nothing? What a joke.

We have been to the original one in Naples and couldn't tell the difference in quality and flavor. The ambience is modern with loud music. Its ok but doesn't suit the pizzeria vibe you expect. Service is what you expect in California. Recommend it for the quality of the pizza which is very good.
