Mr. B’s Pizza Kitchen
By Amelia Winslow
Mr. B’s Pizza Kitchen, located in the Marbella Plaza in San Juan Capistrano, is the perfect casual neighborhood eatery. Bring the kids without worry, catch the big game over an ice-cold beer or just nosh on down-home Italian food. No matter what you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it at Mr. B’s.
As you would expect from any good family-friendly Italian restaurant, Mr B.’s offers a large menu filled with classic dishes that suit any taste. Salads, hot and cold sandwiches, pasta, pizza, as well as traditional entrees and desserts are all available on the extensive menu.
For dinner, my friends and I enjoyed a couple of pizzas – the Godfather, which was loaded with a hearty blend of meats, cheese and peppers over a spicy red sauce – and the Margherita, a lighter option topped with ripe chopped tomatoes and plenty of fresh basil. We also sampled some of their popular entrees: the Shrimp Capri, which boasted perfectly cooked shrimp tossed with veggies and linguine; the Chicken Parmigiana, a classic take on an old favorite and the Sausage & Peppers, whose fantastic flavor was in part due to the addition of homemade (really!) sausage.
To top off our meal, we indulged in a piece of Spumoni ice cream pie and a delicious chocolate chip cannoli. If you dine on a Friday or Saturday, definitely try their famous chocolate cake, which is only available on weekends.
In addition to a wide food selection, Mr. B’s offers a full bar menu, complete with your favorite cocktails, seriously cold draft beers and a variety of delicious wines. They also have plenty of flat-screen TVs as well as a large party room available for private events. So whether you’re looking for a new dining spot for the family or a venue to host your next gathering, Mr. B’s is the place.
