There are already a couple of handful of Naples-style pizzaiolis in OC. Along with Il Dolce and Fuoco, Dana Point's Angelina's Pizzeria Napoletana can be counted among one of the best. Now it's opening a second store in a more central part of the county (well, more central than Dana Point, anyway): Irvine.

It's planned for Los Olivos Marketplace. If you don't know exactly where that is, it's the shopping center across from Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on Irvine Center Drive whose most recognizable tenant right now is Fukada.
When it does open, it will be Irvine's first Naples-style pizza joint. Stay tuned.
