Blade 1936

Blade 1936 is the fruit of a progressive collaboration between Chef Mario Cassineri, Chef & Master Pizzaiolo John Carlo Ferraiuolo, and Chef DJ Tangalin. Chef Mario Cassineri uses his natural and refined talent to bring authentic and innovative Italian cuisine to Blade 1936. Serving as Culinary Director and Partner of the restaurant, Cassineri who was born and raised in Milan, Italy, infuses cultural flair and tradition into each decadent dish he designs. Born in the US, but raised in Naples, Italy, John Carlo learned the art of making pizza directly from the Neapolitan Masters in Naples. After mastering Neapolitan-style pizza, JC returned to San Diego to create Pizza programs for: Caffe Calabria, Red Oven, and Cartolina Venice Beach. Utilizing a custom-made Stefano Ferrara brick pizza oven from Italy, JC brings a true Neapolitan dining experience to Oceanside, using the highest quality flours imported straight from Italy. Having been a part of the San Diego culinary community for over a decade, Chef Danilo DJ Tangalin takes a modern and local approach to Blades menu, bringing his signature twist to seasonal and organic ingredients, often including a wink and nod to his heritage and culinary roots. Blade features a hand-crafted menu of modern Italian delights featuring locally sourced and imported ingredients, house-made salumi, artisanal Napoli style wood fired pizzas, and fresh semolina pastas. Keeping in mind the importance of being healthy, we offer Vegan as well as Gluten-free menus. We also offer one of the best gluten-free pizzas using gluten-free flour imported from Italy.
