Nea Laguna on Coast Highway. Wood-fired pizza and Italian beer, steps from the sand in South Laguna.
Customer favorites from the reviews: thin, crisp, wood-fired, and gone fast.
The benchmark pie. San Marzano tomatoes, hand-made mozzarella, fresh basil, 900 degrees of Naples.
Sweet and savory, the pie people drive to South Laguna for. Try it once and you will understand.
Homemade pesto, bacon, and a crust that shatters. A regulars-table favorite.
Spicy, punchy, unapologetic. Order a cold Italian beer with it. You are at a birreria, after all.
Also on the board: veal meatballs forno, market salad, and homemade tiramisu.
Every dough ball is formed by hand after a 48-stage proprietary proof, with flour imported from Italy, purified water, and sea salt. Nothing bleached, nothing rushed.
The oven is a Stefano Ferrara masterpiece built in Naples, designed to run at 900 degrees, unlike any other. Tomatoes grown from San Marzano seed. Cheese handmade by a California master artisan.
