Today I ordered the macro bowl with brown rice and no sweet potatoes, and I received lettuce instead of brown rice and a bunch of sweet potatoes. The last two times, my request for no sweet potatoes were ignored, but I've been ordering it that way for almost 2 years. I did get a refund this time, but now that it's been three times in a row, I wanted to leave a review. I stopped ordering for a few months and was hoping the first couple of times were just a busy season or a fluke. The order isn't cheap (around $30 for a bowl all said and done on DoorDash) so hoping this brings some attention to the issue because I don't want to stop ordering from here since the food is so good when it's correct!

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!

As someone who knows what actual New Haven pizza should be (think Sally's Apizza), Apizza Doho…read moremisses 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

The pasta flights were tasty for $18, I love a good sampler plate bc I am very much a family style diner. I like the pick and choose options for toppings as well but would've love one more meatball (only got one). The side salad is a great option for the price would've also love to seem more side dishes of veggies! They had a cauliflower Brussels side but was on the pricier side and had lots of sauce on it. I would come back again if I was in the area!

I was curious what was special about this place and tried the chicken bowl…read more Things I liked: Edamame hummus: tasted fresh and slightly nutty, interesting new taste Chicken: not too fatty, pairs well with their Thai sauce (which is a lighter version of Thai sweet chili sauce) Oats and black rice: nice carb base, doesn't stand out but plays well with other ingredients Jammy egg: I would highly recommend this, light with a good balance of sweet and salty Things which were okay: Corn: it goes well with the bowl but doesn't standout by itself Sweet potatoes: same as corn Things which can be improved: Broccoli: it's charred broccoli and tastes slightly bitter. I don't think it goes well with the bowl. I'd rather have steamed broccoli or less charred broccoli with a fat like mayo or cheese based sauce Bok choy: this also doesn't go well as ginger overwhelms your palette and it takes a while to reset and taste things normally. I'd suggest changing it to soy bok choy sautéed in sesame oil. Combined with nomnivore rewards, it's still surprisingly great value for money (sweetgreen value territory or even better).

Loved my steak bowl I added the avocado smash,yum!!…read moreThere is a self ordering option but I went inside to ask questions and they gave me samples to try. Which encouraged me to order more items!

We'll be back soon.

The chicken parm dip was everything I expect from Mendocino Farms--rich, flavorful, and honestly just really satisfying. The Caesar wrap, however, felt a little off. The filling was great (classic Mendocino: well-seasoned chicken, crisp romaine, solid dressing balance), but the tortilla itself tasted almost undercooked. It had very little to no color and a slightly raw dough flavor, which threw the whole wrap off. Not sure if that's their usual style or just an off day, but it stood out immediately. I'd still come back because the sandwich quality is usually excellent, but next time I'd probably skip the wrap and just go with a salad instead.

I really wanted to like Truly Pizza after hearing so many great things from people around town and…read moreseeing it all over social media. We decided to try it for the first time and ordered takeout in person around 7:30pm (5/13/26). We ordered the Truly White, Square Original Cheese, and Square Sweet & Spicy. While waiting near the counter, where you can see into the kitchen and prep area, we saw something really concerning. A staff member dropped a large piece of cheese on the floor, picked it up, rinsed it off, and then appeared to continue using it on someone's salad. We were honestly shocked. I would expect anything that touches the floor in a restaurant kitchen to be thrown away immediately, not rinsed and used. That alone made us extremely uncomfortable. As for the pizzas, they looked fine at first, but the taste was really disappointing. The Truly White was visually a little overwhelming, with a large puddle of creamy white cheese on top, more melted/piped cheese, and peppers in the middle. The square pizzas looked like they would have a light, airy crust, but the texture was actually very hard and crunchy being completely burnt on the bottom, making them not only tough to chew but taste like charcoal. Unfortunately, all three pizzas lacked flavor and were pretty underwhelming overall. Between the food safety concern we witnessed and the pizzas not living up to the hype, this was a waste of money for us. We won't be coming back.
