- MMyOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis place changed our pizza experience. I fear that no other pizza place will compare to it. We got the champion cheese and honestly best cheese pizza ever (probably why it won 1st place). I usually would eat the pizza crust but this one was flaky and amazing. The flaky salt on the crust was a great touch compared to other crust toppings out there. Definitely will come back to try the other pizzas on the menu.More infoTruly PizzaPrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.8
