    If was ok. The garlic pull apart bread was good. Not the best I ever had but good. The pizza is overly priced. Again not the best I ever had. The location and ambiance were excellent.

    I ordered a wedge salad to go after my lunch and it was smaller than the salad that is served at the table. I asked for egg on the side and received no egg. Small issue for overall good lunch, but attention to detail was an important.

    It was a very cold day but with heaters on we had a very nice experience. Of course the pizza was extremely good, hot and enough to take home for dinner.

    Truly Pizza has the best pizza in town and for miles around. It is my go-to pizza place. However, we were cold because our table upstairs had openings all around and the cold wind kept coming at us. There really wasn't any place to get warmer. That won't keep me away but it is not always comfortable!

    This is a gem, not just of Dana Point, but of California. Easily serving up some of the best pizza you’ll find on the coast, Truly is the poster child for what West Coast neighborhood pizza restaurants can be. Knowledgeable, warm, high quality service supports exceptionally executed food. A true team effort. Can’t wait to return for another high five and hug with the Chef. Great job team.
