Pietrini Pizza Napoletana - Los Alamitos, California

Pretty little locals restaurant. Good for a casual date spot, or hanging with friends. A little loud inside and a little too casual for a nice date. Great pizza crust. They serve it piping hot on a plate which does allow it to go soggy fairly quickly. Pizzas seem fairly priced for the type of restaurant but I wish they'd sell the burrata/trio plate with the rosemary bread for a reasonable price. They just go together and it costs $26 to order them separately $$$. The souffle dessert was tasty but more of a caramel molten cake then a true souffle. I felt everything could have used a little more salt. Service was fairly quick and everything came out correct, my only critique was my water sat empty too long, but I think our server went on break mid meal, so I didn't hold it against her.

Absolutely fantastic pizza! Very clean high quality ingredients. You can absolutely taste the difference than most pizza you’ll have. I had a blood orange Italian soda and the carne festa pizza. Substitute the evoo drizzle for Calabrian chili oil instead. It was outstanding. I will need to try a few more simple pies next time because the dough alone is outstanding. I can suggest this place enough. Was super busy about one hour before closing on a Saturday night, with good reason. Looks to have a good selection of beer and wine as well.

Pietrini Pizza Napoletana is possibly the best pizza I have tried in the Anaheim / Long Beach / Santa Ana metro area. WOW Pietrini Pizza did not disappoint! We ended up eating here 2 days back to back, their Margherita Especial was absolutely delicious, and if you like wood fired margherita pizza I cant recommend stopping by Pietrini Pizza enough!

I recently visited Pietrini, and unfortunately, my experience was far from enjoyable. The food was good, but nothing extraordinary to rave about. What truly soured the experience was the service.

When we walked in to place a takeout order, we were completely ignored by two employees who were standing at the counter. After placing the order, we waited about 40 minutes for our pizza. When we finally received our pizza, it wasn’t hot, which suggested they had forgotten about it.

To make matters worse, when we had tried to get an update on the order, we were once again ignored by the same two employees. As two Hispanics in a predominantly different demographic, it was hard not to feel like the lack of attention was intentional.

While the pizza itself was fine, the service was horrendous, and I’m not sure I’ll be returning anytime soon. There are far better places with both good food and respect for their customers.

Pietrini Pizza Napoletana is an absolute gem—hands down the best pizza in Southern California. Their wood-fired masterpieces boast the perfect balance of airy, charred crust, vibrant tomato sauce, and rich, melty cheese, transporting you straight to Naples with every bite. The warmth of the atmosphere is only rivaled by the hospitality of the staff, who make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Whether you're a pizza purist or an adventurous foodie, every slice is a revelation, crafted with passion and precision. If you haven’t been yet, you’re truly missing out on a culinary treasure.

Went to their collaboration with the Bruery. The Black Tuesday reduction on the caprese was phenomenal. Sour and sweet, with that Boubon barrel flavor of the beer that was present but not overpowering. The goat cheese, caramelized onions and mushroom pizza I got went exceptionally well with The Grey Girl beer. This had a hint of earl Grey tea, and a slightly sweet front note.

But the greatest pairing was dessert. A cannoli with a Black Tuesday reduction, paired with the Bruery's 2econd. This was a double barrel aged stout, and it was full of flavors such as vanilla, bourbon, coffee, The location is a bit crowded, and the wood fired oven is in the open to see the chefs performing martial arts style maneuvering as pizzas are made, rotated and pulled out of the oven.
