TJ's Woodfire Pizza — Restaurant in San Clemente

Okay here is the deal. I seariously do not want to give them three stars but they committed one of the most severe sins a pizza place can commit. They tried to pass off what I'd generally refer to a California style pizza as New York style! The people are all very nice, I tried the cider and it was good, the beer was good, the garlic knots were pretty and I suspect that the neopoltan pizza with classic Italian toppings is very good too but I didn't order the Neopoltan style pizza baked in a fire oven with traditional traditional basil and tomato aray of toppings because they said they had New York style pizza! And that ain't no New York pizza! If I find myself back there I'll be more then happy to change my ratting to at least four stars but until they either start making true New York style pizza or take the sham that they are calling New York style pizza off the menu, they can never go any higher then that. Conclusion. I wouldn't tell someone to specifically not eat there but I would tell them not to get fooled into thinking the place has New York style pizza because they say they do on the menu. I have nothing else bad or indifferent to say. To TJ's I'm so sorry to give this score I very much so do not feel good about it. But come one my guys and or gals "New York Pizza" really? Really? Y'all should know better!

Ps Apologies I forgot to take the picture...

When our family is in the mood for pizza, this is our go-to spot! We like to try something new every time, and have never been disappointed. They offer several different crust options and topping choices, and you can tell they use only the best quality ingredients. My family loves the Brooklyn with a New York Style crust and I usually opt for the fig & leaf Neapolitan pizza that has a yummy balsamic glaze drizzle. We've ordered for pick-up from here several times, especially during the last few months, and our order has always been ready at the time they promised, and even with my kids' picky requests, it's always exactly as we ordered it. Important to note that the staff seems to be well trained, because they have an efficient system for take out, everyone is wearing gloves and masks. It's hard to find a place that has good food and a friendly, professional staff. TJ's checks all the boxes....
