Best Kids Menu

Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que

Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que cooks their meat low and slow, and hand carves it to order. They take the same care with their Backyard BBQ kids menu too, which is why it’s a reader favorite.

Pizza D'Oro

Best Pizza Place

Pizza D’Oro

Phillip DiPietro and his family have owned and operated Pizza D’Oro, Costa Mesa since 2005. Before that, his parents and brothers owned and operated the store since 1968. This family knows pizza. Dough is made daily on the premises, hand-stretched to order and baked directly on a scorching marble hearth. If you don’t have room for a whole pie, try the Giant Slice. About 6 inches wide and 14 inches long, this slice has a thick crust handle and a classic New York-style center. Hold, fold and enjoy!
