North Italia Turns Pi Day into Pi Month
03.10.23
North Italia is celebrating Pi Day for a full month with a fresh selection of new regional pizzas, each featuring local ingredients and influenced by the diverse culinary traditions of the location’s community.
Beginning on Tuesday, March 14 (Pi Day) and available through Sunday, April 10, each of North Italia’s Los Angeles locations including Santa Monica, El Segundo, Del Amo, and Irvine will debut a La Birria pizza inspired by the popular Mexican style birria taco with braised beef and a consommé dipping broth to taste like a home-cooked meal!
This hand-tossed pie ($18) was dreamt up by Executive Sous Chef Mickey Defiebre utilizing the restaurant’s fresh, seasonal ingredients including Oaxaca cheese, smoked mozzarella, short rib birria, pickled onions, and guajillo salsa.
Established in 2002, North Italia is a modern neighborhood restaurant offering freshly made, handcrafted cuisine inspired by authentic Italian fare.

Bayside Restaurant Revamps the Bar, Adds New Bar Menu
03.10.23
Bayside Restaurant owner Marc Ghoukassian has revamped the bar! A new 360-degree bar, and high-top tables, brightened up the entirety of the restaurant to accommodate a more chic coastal feel. There’s also more seating to view and enjoy the live music every night.
There are still the “gallery” walls with museum-quality art and a more social vibe.
And one of the most exciting elements to come out of this is a new bar menu, available daily from 4:30 p.m. to close.
Choose from Oyster By The Shell, Nola Fries, Buffalo Cauliflower, Petite Cheese & Charcuterie, Beef Sliders, Short Rib Sliders, Blue Crab Dip, Ceviche, and Tuna Poke.
900 Bayside Drive in Newport Beach. 949.721.1222.
