At the tail end of our trip, Caitlin and I stayed in Dana Point, a city off the Pacific Coast in Orange County. Not surprisingly, we developed a powerful craving for cheese, tomatoes and dough, so I hopped on Yelp.com to search for a local pizzeria. On account of some good user reviews and a desire to explore the Dana Point Harbor, we selected Beach Cities Pizza, "the best pizza on earth". Maybe we ordered the wrong pie, but claiming Beach Cities as the best pizza on earth is as wrong as calling the Vin Diesal/Paul Walker Fast and Furious better than The Godfather.
Unlike zpizza or Gina's, which use the crust and cheese as a delicious canvas for the toppings to come, Beach Cities' cheese was a gloppy mess that couldn't even stay attached to the pizza long enough for the trip from tray to mouth. Beach Cities features some interesting pizzas (a Thai-style pizza and a pizza with clams) and it is open 24 hours, but there's something out of a whack when a basic pie comes out of the oven so wrong. The only things placing Beach Cities above subpar chain pizza were the crunchy crust and the buried sun-dried tomatoes.
