Big Mama's and Papa's

It's called Big Mama's because they make a pizza so big that you could hide underneath it. They also have big slices, which I avoid. This is a chain and you can probably find at least one in every town within LA. It is my go-to pizza spot, because there is one across the street and it is cheap. You can pick up a large cheese for 10 dollars. Is it the best pizza? No. Is it something I would

Coachella Pizza 2008

Yes, I went to Coachella this weekend and yes, I had the pizza.  I don't mean to make anyone jealous by writing this, I just want to share my pizza experience. It was a long weekend, long days and intense heat in the desert.  There was a ton of food everywhere - BBQ, burritos, hot dogs, cheese steaks and even some Thai food.  Most all of it was overpriced and not that good.  The cheese steaks did

Berri's Pizza Cafe

Finally when I thought I was getting a handle on the pizza places in Hollywood, I get a coupon in the mail for a new place that is opening up. "Just when I thought I was out..." Though there was always a Berri's on 3rd and La Cienega area, it slipped past my radar. So thats where I went. I was pleasantly surprised about this pizza, because the menu I got in the mail only had a few kinds of

Pizza Man

Pizza Man is your typical delivery place, with subs, wings, and even apple pie (which is not typical).  There are a 100 of them in the LA area, and it tastes like it.  The genuine element of the place does not exist, i should really categorize this place with other chain pizza stores like Domino's or Pizza Hut, but based on taste I should categorize it with frozen pizza because thats what it

Pizza Bella

I remember going into this place a couple years ago when I first moved to town, it was basically a kitchen inside of a liquor store.  It was in one of these strip malls on the corner with big block letters on the side of the building but with no door underneath.  Eventually I probably just got fed up with trying to find it and went in the liquor store to get drunk maybe.  But in the back there is

Mamma Mia’s Pizzeria

I haven't had a pizza for 3 days.  I needed to eat it today, had to eat it today.  It appears now to me that pizza is mildly addictive, and today I had to feed that addiction.  I ordered from Mamma Mia's, a place down on Sunset past "The Strip".  I was really looking forward to it.  It was going to be delivered to me for a cheap price.  So already I was liking the place, until they told me it was

Guest Bloggers: Help me!

I recently posted a blog by someone other than myself.  Although I would like to keep it mainly my own opinions, it is my blog, I do like the idea of random people's reviews to add some color and variety in writing to this blog.  Plus there are a hell of a lot of pizza places here.  I am only one man, and can not eat everywhere, or at least not before a new place pops up around the corner.  I

Guest Blog: A day at the beach

Today I have decided to introduce a new blogger.  Her name is Kelly.  This is the first time I have had a guest pizza taster, post a review for me, but I would like it to happen more often.  If anyone has tried some pizza from a place that I have yet to discover, please let me know about it.  If you have an opinion, write a blog and I will post it.  The faster we get a handle on the pizza in LA

Raffallo's Pizza

Today I went local, walking down the street to one of many pizza places called Raffallo's.  They have so many locations all over.  It is a local chain I guess you could say.  For the record, I am not sure if it is spelled with one L or 2, I should just look next time I walk by.  Anyway, the pizza is ok.  It has good flavor, nice thick sauce, and tasty bread.  The problem here is there is just too

Brick Dome Pizza

Brick Dome Pizza is a small place in West Hollywood that seems like it mostly does deliveries.  I like its slogan, "The way pizza should really taste." If this is the way pizza should taste, then I guess I don't like pizza anymore.  That's a bit harsh, the real problem with this wasn't so much the taste as the crust.  It was paper thin and brittle, much like a place called Stone Fire Pizza, which

Enzo's Pizzeria

My understanding of this place is, it used to be a lot better. It also used to be a different place, called Albano's. Albano's was a place that I sadly never got to try. I heard great things about their pizza, but for whatever reason it is now gone. Their reviews and phone number are still all over the internet. I tried to call for a pick-up order, but I got a disconnected message. As I

Damiano Mr. Pizza

Domiano's ( or as the cool kids call it, Mr. Pizza) is a raved about pizza joint on Fairfax Ave.  It is slammed after 2am since the location is around a lot of bars.  It has a very NY feel too it, being very small, dark and dingy inside.       I stole some pictures for this, sorry you aren't getting my artistic eye for this one.The pizza is certainly one of a kind.  The crust is light and crispy.

Vito's Pizza

I sure do have a special one for you guys and girls today, Vito's Pizza, it is one of the best.  I got it delivered the other day by a guy who sounded like he came straight from Italy to deliver this pizza.  He was talking up the pizza a lot, he really believed in it, he thought it was the best in LA.  I just smiled and nodded and said I never had it before.  Then he called me a Vito's Virgin,

Oak Fire Pizzeria & Pub

Since I have written this review, what was once Stone Fire Pizza Company has now changed its name to Oak Fire Pizzeria & Pub. Same place, unfortunately same pizza. Today I decided to go to a place I have heard a lot about, Stone Fire Pizza Company. It was Sunday so all my friends were actually around to join me for once. One of the reasons I went was the happy hour specials, every day the

Food Court Pizza? Why Not.

On Hollywood and Highland there is a mall and in that mall there is a food court area.  I figured there was pizza up there, so I had to try it.  Every pizza place is worth trying.  This place was called Hollywood Pizzeria Express.  Well this is the worst pizza I have experienced yet.  I was with a friend and he was absolutely swearing it to the devil while I was trying to give it the benefit of

Rocco's Pizza

This is a small place on Wilshire Blvd. that seems to do most of its business from deliveries.  I picked up a large cheese pizza since I was in the area.  I ate all but 2 slices in the car on the way home.  It was pretty delicious.  Good amounts of sauce and cheese that were both well done.  The sauce was rich with good flavor and spices.  The crust was crunch on the bottom and puffy at the end,

Z Pizza

Here is my review for the pizza place next to Village Pizzeria other wise known as Z Pizza. It's hard to complain about anything on this pizza, it all tasted fine. The crust is crispy the sauce and cheese work well together. But there isn't anything extra, it is just ordinary. Plus its a couple dollars more than the Village Pizzeria. All I can say about it is there is a better place next

Village Pizzeria

Today I took a stroll down Larchmont Blvd. A somewhat hidden little strip of land with lots of trendy shops and eateries. There are 2 pizza places on this street, Z Pizza and Village Pizzeria. Today I only had room in my stomach for one. I've been to Z pizza, so today it was the Village Pizzeria. A lot of people say this is great. The pizza is pretty spot on to what it should be.
