Since 2008, Fresh Brothers has provided Southern California with delicious food and family-style charm. Lucky for Orange County, this LA-based pizza joint has opened a new location in Laguna Niguel, at the corner of La Paz and Aliso Creek Road near Whole Foods. This latest addition to the Fresh Brothers family — the 15th in California — is now delivering its fresh take on dining out to those of us in south Orange County.
Fresh Brothers is a family business that’s deeply involved in the communities it serves. The soft opening of its Laguna Niguel location doubled as a fundraiser for area schools. Giving back is an important part of the company’s philosophy and it welcomes opportunities to partner with local schools and organizations to further charitable causes.
Guided through the menu by Scott Goldberg, one of the eponymous brothers, I sampled some of the most popular appetizers, including the butter-bursting and garlicky Fresh Knots and tangy baked Buffalo Wings. As my taste buds rejoiced, I moved on to the meatball sliders, served on Hawaiian sweet bread and topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese…so sinful, but worth every calorie.
Fresh Brothers diners can select from one of eight pre-built pizzas or may opt to build their own skinny, thin, deep dish or new MegaGrain crust pie, from an assortment of toppings. I enjoyed Da Works deep dish pizza that offered a perfectly chewy, Chicago-style crust. The lighter Fresh Momma’s Favorite spinach and mushroom thin crust is created with a blend of pizza and pesto sauces and was packed with fresh flavor. For only $8.99, you can personalize a tossed or chopped salad with your choice of veggies, cheese, and goodies like egg, egg whites, sesame seeds and fried onions. Try the cinnamon Sweet Knots drizzled with icing and served warm for a decadent finale to a delicious meal. With beer on tap and wine by the glass, there’s just about something for to enjoy.
Those with special dietary preferences or needs will also feel right at home at Fresh Brothers with an array of gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free options. Gluten-free crusts, cheese, and wings, as well as Vegan Tenders and vegan versions of the Wisconsin cheese and Italian sausage make ordering easy, without compromising taste. The Fresh Kids Special Sauce adds a mix of finely ground veggies to the secret signature sauce for a healthier alternative. Fresh Brothers promises that your kids won’t be able to tell the difference and that adults will dig it, too!
