Give Pizza Bakery a ring for delivery. Real NY style pizza, thin crust and all the ingredients are fresh. They have a small delivery area and Balboa Island is in it. Good cheesecake also.
My second nomination for the area, is Spagetti Bender on Coast Highway, a little north of Balboa Island. Super family friendly, Italian style meals served, very reasonable for Newport Beach. The meals start with a huge pot of Minestroni soup, then a fresh salad that includes slices of avocado, and then your main course, pasta or combos. All family style and large portions.
The Crab Cooker will be close to Balboa, there is always a wait, excellent fresh fish, you can also purchase from them the catch of the day to cook at home on real plates.
Have fun, the beach is wonderful for kids, but the Pacific is notoriously treachorous even for good swimmers. Pay attention to the lifeguards.
There are lots of higher end eateries for splurging, depending upon the taste preference. And if they will have a car.
