When a group of Ron’s closest friends had the opportunity to open a new concept together, they jumped on the chance to finally give him the restaurant of his dreams. Today, Ron’s memory lives on in the community and at Porterhouse, where his fireman’s jacket looks over all who enter. Porterhouse is seeking an experienced General Manager to lead the team.

Truly Pizza is the brainchild of third-generation Pizzaiolo John Arena and lifelong friend Donna Baldwin. In the early 1980’s, John headed West to introduce his family’s famed New York-style pizza to Las Vegas, through the venture now famously known as Metro Pizza! It was at this first pizza shop that he gave Donna one of her first jobs in hospitality. A fortuitous meeting that ultimately led to the creation of Truly Pizza as it is today. After successful careers, Donna & John decided to make their lifelong dream a reality. Teaming up with collaborators and teammates Chris Decker & Michael Vakneen and developer Steve Muller, Truly Pizza made its debut to the Dana Point dining scene in 2023. Their powerhouse culinary team has since garnered many accolades—including titles for both Best Traditional & Non-Traditional 🍕 at last year’s International Pizza Challenge in Vegas. Today, guests can experience the team’s passion for the craft of pizza making through a menu that perfectly balances respect for tradition with the bounty of California ingredients. Along with whole pies, offerings include an array of salads, sandwiches, cheese & charcuterie boards, and premium soft-serve desserts—all in a serene garden & rooftop dining setting designed to make every guest feel at home. It’s no wonder Truly has become one of the most talked about restaurants in town!
