Wiseguys Pizza

Wiseguys Pizza in Orange: After hanging out at Irvine Park for a while, dinner was at a nearby pizza joint. We started with a horrible surprise: the "fresh house made lemonade" is Minute Maid crap. The manager argued that it *was* lemonade (he's the one that told us it was Minute Maid...we were guessing Crystal Light), but it was barely drinkable so I don't think he knew what he was talking about. Thankfully the meal trended sharply upwards (I haven't walked out of a restaurant in over three years and it would be depressing to do so again). The house salad was relatively standard, though with nice bacon nibs. The appetizer pretzel wasn't bad, though the pretzel itself wasn't special the sauce was a very flavorful marinara. The pizza itself (Milan), had a medium-thickness crust. Not greasy, but not really special. It was topped with sausage of a very good/soft texture though a bit bland, and carmelized onions that were so sweet I couldn't taste anything else. In a pizza like this I expect the sauce to steal the show, a meaty, spicy tomato sauce...having the sweet flavor or carmelized onions overpower everything was odd. Shaking red pepper flakes on top at least made the heat better, at least. Not a bad pizza, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. Finally, for dessert we had a cookie pizza, which was a large, very chocolate-y cookie topped with a good helping of (vanilla?) gelato of good consistency and not bad flavor (though very overpowered by the cookie), chocolate sauce drizzle, and whip cream on the sides (didn't seem like fake whip cream, but didn't seem quite authentic either). A wonderful note to end the meal on.
