Located
near
the
Irvine
Spectrum,
Angelina’s
Pizzeria
was
recommended
to
me
by
a
friend.
Parking
is
plentiful
as
it
is
in
a
family-friendly
plaza.
We
ordered
to-go
and
informed
the
person
helping
us
and
he
went
and
grabbed
a
different
server
to
help
us.
Our
server
was
very
helpful
and
recommended
the
Calabrese
Pizza
to
us.
The
interior
was
a
good
mix
of
modern
and
traditional
details
and
had
a
clean
and
fancier
atmosphere.
Calabrese
Pizza:
2.5/5
A
Neapolitan-style
pizza
with
a
charred
crust
and
thin
crust,
the
Calabrese
is
topped
with
smoked
buffalo
mozzarella,
roasted
bell
peppers,
basil,
red
onions,
spicy
nduja,
sausage,
and
extra
virgin
olive
oil.
The
toppings
on
the
pizzas
were
fresh
and
the
crust
was
well-cooked.
My
issue
with
this
pizza
firstly
is
the
overall
composition.
All
of
the
toppings
were
very
wet
and
did
not
adhere
to
the
pizza
well.
The
moisture
from
the
toppings
also
made
the
dough
underneath
less
crispy
and
even
soggy.
The
slices
had
no
structural
integrity
and
bent
from
their
own
weight.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
got
this
pizza
to-go
and
ate
it
literally
3
minutes
after
we
brought
it
out
of
the
restaurant.
The
pizza
frankly
was
not
hot,
not
even
lukewarm.
One
of
my
favorite
parts
of
eating
a
wood-fired
pizza
is
having
almost
crispy
basil
and
its
intense
flavor
but
the
basil
here
was
drowning
and
dull.
For
the
price
of
$26.00,
a
very
humble
portion,
and
poor
execution,
I
cannot
recommend
this
pizza.
