When I was telling a friend about this place, I pulled up my handy dandy Yelp and was surprised that I hadn't written a review about this place yet! We spent a few nights in Dana Point and was really close to this restaurant. We got it to go and ate it back at our hotel, but wow, the pizza was memorable for sure. We got the vampire and the original and they both were great choices. Definitely a great spot for pizza in Dana point! read more

As someone who knows what actual New Haven pizza should be (think Sally's Apizza), Apizza Doho misses the mark completely. The dough was nothing like the authentic thin-crust style; instead, it was thick, burnt, and strangely covered in butter. The Margherita sauce was essentially tomato sauce and lacked balance. The Clam Pizza was the biggest disappointment--it was buried under so much cheese and garlic that you couldn't even taste the clams. It was so greasy that oil was running down our hands, tasting more like a heavy, cheesy garlic bread with overpowering chunks of raw garlic than a refined white clam pie. To round it out, the zucchini chips were flavorless and mostly just fried breading. The only silver lining was the calamari, the cherry peppers were a nice touch and it genuinely reminded me of Rhode Island-style calamari. That said, I definitely won't be back for the pizza and do not recommend this place if you're looking for New Haven style pizza read more

We started off with an order of Zuccinihi chips because we always like to eat Zuccinihi fries. The chips were good, mostly fried rather than Zucchini. We ordered two pizzas. One thing to note, at least for dinner options, there are no different pizza sizes, they are all the same size. We ordered the HWY 1 and our waiter, recommended the Bee Sting, a waitstaff favorite. The HWY 1, was extremely tasty the caramelized onions pairing well with the pepperoni and sausage. The Bee Sting was the family favorite, the Burrata and hot honey stealing the show. The waitstaff was friendly with all of the waiters and waitresses thanking us for coming and wishing us a good night. Parking was a little hectic but that is out of Apizzas control. The overall restaurant was clean, and openly inviting. Would definitely make a return trip. read more

We ordered the Philly's pizza and it took about 25 minutes to get to the table which was not too much of a surprise considering how busy the place was. Susie was our server and was very lovely throughout the evening! However, the quality overall of the pizza tasted okay at best. The slices were burned, so at most I can give a 3/5...Susie was very kind and offered to make us another pizza to-go, so that is definitely to note! But we were so hungry that we ate it anyway lol and we did not want to wait any longer. The presentation was also a 2/5 at most. Unfortunately, I would not stop by again. read more

OMG what can be said that hasn't been said already. I love this place. Tonight was a takeout order which was perfectly prepared. We ordered the highway one pizza, garden party and the chop salad. I think it's the first time we've had the chop salad and it was phenomenal. Lots of ingredients lots of Parmesan cheese. Both pizzas also had plenty of toppings. Great crust. Very helpful service over the phone to place the order. And pick up was also very Easy. There is street parking but also a small lot behind the building. Outdoor seating as well. Just a cool vibe for South OC. Always come back and recommend. read more

Stopped in for dinner, we ordered a small vampire pizza and it was delicious! With big dollops of cheese on every slice. We opted for the small which was still very filling for two people! The crust, cheese and sauce were all fantastic and I would highly recommend this place! Good service too! read more

I drove past this place about 4 times in a week until finally I said ok it's always busy so it must be good. We got really lucky that it was actually not too full. We got sat right away outside. Given that it was not too busy we did not anticipate to wait very long for the waitress to come and attend to us. She really took too long to take our order and drinks. Pizza was out of this world though. I would definitely and hopefully we have better service. I would skip the cesar salad. read more

I wanted to order a pizza in Dana Point to watch the sunset nearby and found APizza Doho when I was searching on Yelp and so glad I did! We ordered The Bee Sting pizza and we loved it! I loved how they packed the Burrata separately for to-go orders. The flavor was amazing and we really enjoyed it and would get it again, although we want to try other pizzas. We also got the Zucchini Chips - such incredible flavors but the only bad thing is that when you get it in to to-go boxes, they become soft and not crunchy. I will say that I ordered around 4:30-5pm online and my order was not ready to pick up till 6:45 on a Friday! So just be aware! Overall, great flavor and would come back! read more

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. We are talking about driving up from San Diego just to have this pizza again. We had the southwest swell pizza and ordered it with "1000 steps." Amazing. The combination of spicy chilis, sweet pineapple and savory red onion was perfect. The crust was thin and well-done on the bottom. Portions were huge too, but we were so happy to have the leftovers. I also recommend the zucchini chips. They were the perfect snack with a glass of wine while we were waiting for our pizza. Super thin, salty and addictive. Service was lovely too! read more

First of all, the prices and lines seem to coalesce. When there is a line, it is because of great value and that is the intersection of the ultimate dinner venue. I don't mind spending for a good dinner and I prefer to find a place like this where the food is amazing, the service is prompt and the value is beyond. At a time like this, when times are uncertain, you want to go to a place where you feel happy because the location is amazing, ambiance is great (acoustics were good) and the value is best! Diana was a pro! Come here and keep coming. Restaurants like this deserve to be great because they encompass what is great, great food, location and good memories. read more

The pizza was really good but I just wish they had better veggie pizza options. The crust is fermented for 24 hours so it's much easier to digest and it was such a light and airy crust. Outdoor seating is nice but it was easy to get a table on a Sunday night despite them being super busy. read more

Easily the best restaurant on this street. 100% worth a short walk down the hill from the Marriott hotel. Quality: 5 Value: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 We were hangry and tired from a long day of travel and work, and wanted something healthy. These salads here are some of the best I've ever had! Caesar salad was excellent, and so was their harvest salad. Super fresh, dressed just the right amount, and with generous helpings of fresh ground pepper. The pizza was also amazing! You also get quite large portions for the price. read more

Service is great. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Ordered a bottle of the red blend and it complimented our pizzas very well. Ordered the Bee Sting....so good! The hot honey is actually spicy, so FYI. We also got the Vampire amd added mushrooms. Was not too garlicky at all. The crust is kinda their "thing" and it does not disappoint. If you like a thin crust, you get it...and if you like a thicker crust, you get the chewy too. Best of both worlds. Try it out. The vibe is super chill. Great date spot. read more

Great food, great service, super weird name. I've driven past several times, and always thought "wtf is that name? Is that some sort of Italian/pirate fusion?" I'm glad I went there today and gave it a shot, though. The food was great! Super fresh produce, amazing ingredients and depth of flavor, and the portions were very generous. Now I can say "I'm something of apizza doho, myself." read more

Came here for the first time after a beach trip and loved it! There is a small parking structure, but takes some time to find parking. The place is pretty busy around 7, but the wait goes by quickly. Lots of seating and they have warmers for the tables outside.. Our server was very nice and friendly, she answered all of our questions. The food was amazing! We got two pizzas and we were able to share and have leftovers amongst 4 people. The Hwy 1 was very savory, meaty and overall delicious. The Stingray had a pretty good kick to it, and the spice paired nicely with the honey on top. Loved this place and will definitely be stopping by again! read more

This has gotta be one of the best pizza spots I've tried. It's located on PCH, so thankfully there's a large parking lot on top of the restaurant. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We did the lunch box deal which was an 11" apizza with a choice of simple or caesar salad. The caesar was great and it's a big portion that could be a meal itself. Tried the arancini too which was good, but the standouts were obviously the pizzas. We tried the vampire and bee sting pizzas, with the bee sting being my favorite. It has a perfect hint of sweetness to it with the hot honey. This is high on my list of where I should bring friends/family to in OC! read more

Apizza Doho was a place I really wanted to love, but unfortunately it did not live up to expectations for me. They position themselves as New Haven style pizza, so I came in expecting that thin, crispy, well done crust you get at places like Sally's or Pepe's. Instead, the pizza I had came out more soggy than crisp, which took away from the experience. I ordered a half Bee Sting and half meat pie based on the server's recommendation. The flavors were good, but the texture just was not what I was hoping for. Maybe I ordered the wrong pizza, and I would be open to trying it again, but based on this visit it did not quite deliver on the New Haven style it is aiming for. read more

First time here but heard about people raving about this place. We've driven by several times and the place looks always packed. We finally had the chance to try the place. We did a build our own pizza. Half another flavor and half another. It looked really good! However, I think maybe my expectation was high, it didn't taste anything special to me. And it gets pricey when you do the build your own. Each ingredient you add is about $3 or $4 and it adds up pretty quick. Ambiance is really casual and it looks like there are a lot of regulars. For the price we ended up paying, I know I much better tasting pizza place in the same city where we he ambiance is more elevated, but still casual. But then, there are other food we saw them whipping up in the kitchen. Willing to go back and try other items in the menu. read more

First off, I've never been to an establishment where every single person there was very nice and welcoming! Plus, very easy to find and ample parking. Now the food...phenomenal! We ordered Fritto Misto, Tutta La Casa salad, Mia Mushroom pizza along with the Stingray and Hwy 1. Starting with the Fritto, it was crispy and well seasoned, didn't even need to use the sauce. It was delicious as is. Not generally a fan of salads, however, the Tutta La Casa was quite refreshing. It had so many toppings so you get different flavors in one, very tasty! The Mia Mushroom was also good as is, but we added prosciutto anyway. I don't normally eat the crust of pizzas, but the crusts made here were nice and crispy! Unfortunately I didn't get to try the two other pizzas because I was stuffed. In my opinion, every single food item was perfectly seasoned. Dessert was also amazing and homemade! Overall, atmosphere was great, very clean, wonderful employees, would definitely be back! read more

So we came here on a Saturday night with a larger group I think around 8 and the employees did such a good job to try and seat us, especially because I think it was close to closing? It was a little bit of a trek for us to get out here but omg it was sooo worth it!y friend and I shared a pizza and we did half stingray and half of hwy 1 I think? I forget cause we ordered so fast but everything we got was sooo good! Also, don't skip the caesar salad! Sounds simple but it's one of the best I've ever had. read more

Food - mostly pizza although they had other Italian dishes. We tried their pizza and the base was good, but once you start adding each topping, it can get up there at $3 each, even for hot honey. After putting 3 toppings, I felt it was on par with the Pizza place nearby with the better foccacia pizza dough. Not to compare, this is a Neapolitan style. They have other food stuff and salads that looked yummy. And don't get me wrong, this is something I may have to try again next time to order other food items. Service - was good. Ambiance - other than where we sat with the high table and the condensation from the AC tubes above that leaked a small amount of drip at a time, it was good and busy. Indoor and outdoor seating with patio heaters for those cold nights. Verdict - I am perplexed I think because of the comparison. By itself, it was good, but when you compare with nearby foccacia champ on price, quality, and taste, just no comparison. I think you know who I could be referring to in Dana Point, upstream. But by itself, definitely ok and can try again maybe. read more

We came here in a Sunday which is usually a no for me because I don't want to wait for a table on a Sunday but... I let my husband drag us over to Dana Point to grab some pizza and salad. It turned out to be such a fun memorable experience with our kids. We ordered the Zucchini Chips, Simple Salad, The "Original" and Burrata Pizzas. We loved it all and I can't wait to go back. Service was great too! We got lucky to find a parking spot in the back and were in around 6 and out in under an hour. Love it here! Will be back many times :) The place was very clean and cute! Pizza vibes galore! Clientele was nice as well. All the cool people dine here read more

If you're anywhere near Dana Point and even remotely like pizza, aPizza Doho is one of those places you don't just try--you end up coming back to again and again. The pizza is genuinely outstanding. The crust has that perfect balance--light and crisp on the outside with just enough chew inside--and every topping tastes intentional, not overloaded. You can tell they actually care about the craft here, not just pumping out pies. And the salads? Surprisingly just as memorable. Everything tastes fresh, clean, and well put together--like someone actually thought about how the ingredients should work together instead of tossing greens in a bowl and calling it a day. The whole experience feels dialed in without being pretentious. Great food, consistent quality, and the kind of place you end up recommending to people without even thinking about it. read more

Everything was so impressive yesterday that we decided to go again today! We got Kendra as our server once more and she was so happy to see us, that she gave us a hug! What warm service! This time she suggested the Bee Sting pizza which was heavenly! It comes with Tomato Sauce, Pepperoni, Burrata, Fresh Basil Chiffonade, House Infused Hot Honey. The burrata is so creamy & it is perfectly balanced with the hot honey drizzle... truly yummy! We also tried the Caesar salad this time & it was also very good! All I can say is don't sleep on this little gem! read more

This is a busy spot that's always hustling and bustling so you know the pizzas solid here. Found this spot on Yelp when my partner and I were craving some pizza. We ordered takeout at least an hour ahead of pickup, I'd recommend calling in earlier when it's prime dinner time on weekends because the wait can get long. Hwy 1 pizza: Ingredients were so fresh, and the pizza was heavily covered with all the fixings. The dough was perfectly chewy, and we loved the crust! Simple salad: we ordered this to go, and sadly it did not look very fresh. Leaves were very wilted and yellow, the spring mix did not taste fresh at all. Not sure why they would serve salad leaves that tasted stale and old for a salad. We ended up just tossing it. Overall, I'd just stick to the pizza here read more

Came here for a lunch on the weekend, wasn't too crowded. The lunch special is a great deal because it comes with a Cesar salad. Love the thin crust pizzas. Cesar salad- nice flavors, a little on the saltier side Pepperoni pizza- kids enjoyed the classic pizza Littleneck pizza with white sauce- I like how the clams were cut up small with lots of garlic, also on the saltier side Service was friendly and good! The pizzas take awhile to bake, wasn't too crowded so I imagine if it's crowded will prob take longer. Nice family friendly restaurant. read more

You can't go wrong with pizza, especially not this place! This is a pretty affordable pizza restaurant if you're looking for pizza that is fresh, packed with toppings, and oh-so-yummy! Went on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm and there was no wait to get seated. We ordered the Hwy1 pizza (not as a lunch box special), and it is - if I remember correctly - a 15inch pizza cut into 8 slices and satisfied my family of 4. The pizza was super flavorful, not too heavy on the sauce, and almost resembled thin crust. I was also able to try their tiramisu cup! Although I thought this was a bit pricey for what it was, it was still delicious and was a perfect sweet treat to end the meal! read more

Apizza Doho - Hwy1 pizza - Pizza Near Me - Dana Point, California

Description: A standout pizza spot in Dana Point (a city which seems to have a TON of pizza options). Easily my top pick in town, even eclipsing Truly Pizza in flavor and execution. Location: Nestled along the Pacific Coast Highway and part of a retail row of other food spots. Standout Dishes: The HWY 1 pizza seems to be a crowd favorite, but honestly even just the basic peppeonin really shines as well. Vibe: Relaxed. It's a beach pizza joint, what more do you need? Service: Super friendly. We even had a slightly mishap with our pizza and the floor and immediately we were told not to worry and a whole new pie was prepared for us (which they didn't have to do, but it was well appreciated!). Food Quality: Exceptional -- thin, airy crust (that isn't soggy or floppy, a plus in my book) with delicious sauce and toppings. Value: Not too cheap, not too pricey, but considering the tastiness, worth it. Parking: When the plaza is busy, parking can get a little annoying. But there's a lot in the back as well as street parking along PCH Tips: Hit up this place on a Monday to take advantage of 50% off select pizzas and wine/beer. read more
