ANAHEIM HILLS, CA

THE STORY OF US

Our tale began in the heart of the kitchen, with just a handful of humble ingredients and a spark of inspiration. Before we knew it, we were crafting dishes that whispered (or sometimes shouted) to every palate.

At STORY, inspiration isn’t just a goal—it’s a promise. Maybe it’s the bold, unapologetic flavors of our pizzas or the inventive twists in our craft cocktails. Perhaps it’s the ambiance that wraps you up and makes you feel... something. Or maybe it’s the company you keep around the table that makes it all unforgettable.

So, sit back and let our service do more than just serve—let them captivate you with the stories behind our dishes, the magic in our drinks, and the passion of our owner, who dreamed up this space just so you could add your own story to ours.

CHEF CHRISTY’S STORY

Chef Christy's passion for cooking was inspired by her Filipino culture and her mother, who was the eldest of six children and developed a love for cooking early on. As a teenager, Christy was captivated by professional chefs on TV and saw cooking as an art form. This fascination led her to experiment with recipes and fuel her growing obsession with food and travel.
