You know what makes life better? Pizza! Believe it or not, I did not grow up eating pizza. I know it was a sad existence. Thanks to being Asian, I got my fill of white rice daily and then some! But, since marrying a Caucasian man, who by the way loves PIZZA (and eats it like there is no tomorrow) — I have become quite the authority of pizza cuisine!
My family and I were so excited when Angelina’s Pizzeria in Irvine, CA invited us to be their special guests! The hubs and kids were counting down the days. I can’t wait to tell you about our dining experience at the best authentic pizza restaurant you will find around town.

This was a heavenly Italian experience for me! I have never been to Italy before, but from dining here I can now say that I have. I was told by our waitress they import their San Marzano tomatoes and premium ingredients all the way from Italy to ensure the taste is authentic to recipes that were created in Tuscany.
The wood-fire pizzas were so delicious! They are carefully cooked in Angelina’s 900 degree wood-fire ovens. The dough is hand stretched and kneaded every morning and handcrafted with locally sourced produce and topped with mozzarella from a cheesemonger in Napoli. Isn’t this fabulous!?! The taste is unreal!
There are so many unique dishes here to experience. Their recipes are traditional in honoring family recipes that originated from the soul of Italy’s best ingredients and local produce. However, what sets Angelina’s apart is that they perfectly blend New World techniques into their pizza that creates an experience that is unparalleled and authentic.
Thank you Angelina’s Pizzeria for having us and treating us like family! Are you a fan of Italian food? Please, share with me your thoughts.
The food looks delicious and the place looks amazing! I love Italian food! Best food in the world! I also love your outfit! lace all the way! xx corinne

Hi Samantha! Thank you so much! xo
Having just been in Italy for a few weeks and both reading and looking at your pictures about this place the experience seems completely authentic and looks delicious indeed! I could live on pizza too if it wasn’t for my body being a bit cranky if I have too many, haha.

Hi Thomas! You are so lucky to visit Italy! One day for me! I love love pizza too! Their pizza was light and not as doughy as “American” pizzas can be. It is definitely a balance with having too much pizza! I agree with you! This was indeed a treat for our whole family! Thanks for dropping by! xo
Can never resist a good pizza! Even though I am a bit dull and prefer margharita over most others! 🙂 Great post.
Margharita is seriously one of the BEST! xo
Yum! I love pizza, especially if I can get it all to myself, hehe. Now I’m getting hungry!

Loved this post! I am craving a pizza right now, it looks sooo good!!
The closest I’ve gotten to an authentic pizza was when I visited NYC a couple of years ago. I’ve never heard of this restaurant before, but I can tell from the looks of that pizza, it’s definitely authentic. Hopefully I get the chance to try it one day!
