Dizzy for Neapolitan Pizza
08.20.13
If you haven’t yet discovered the first West Coast Spin! Neapolitan Pizza that opened earlier this summer in Orange, at the Stadium Promenade, near Honda Center and Angels Stadium, you need to go taste their hand-spun, stone-fired, traditional thin-and-bubbly crust, rustic whole wheat crust, and gluten-free pizzas.
Each day, SPIN! roasts mushrooms, caramelized onions, artichokes, and even capers, pecans, pineapples, pine nuts, and pancetta its stone hearth ovens. You can choose between traditional Pizza Rossa (red pizzas with crushed Roma tomato sauce) and Pizza Bianca (white pizzas with roasted olive oil glaze), and a variety of hand-grated cheeses.
There are also a variety of appetizers, soups, salads, signature Panini and Italian deli sandwiches, and tasty gelato. All of SPIN!’s soups, salad dressings, pizza toppings, and ingredients are prepared fresh daily from fresh produce and meats. You need to try their blood orange sangria, too!
The award-winning, premium fast-casual concept born in Kansas City offers artisan foods made from fresh ingredients at affordable prices, even its premium wines are reasonably priced.
SPIN! was founded by restaurant pros Gail and Richard Lozoff and Edwin Brownell. (The Lozoffs started Bagel & Bagel, which later became Einstein Bros. Bagels.) The couple travelled throughout Italy visiting pizzerias and wanted to bring a fun modern dining experience built around the flavors of Italy with a fresh and healthy emphasis. They brought in James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Smith to create a menu that features authentic Neapolitan pizza with a modern culinary twist.
Open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Spin! is at 1623 West Katella in Orange. 714.633.7746.
