This is a small Italian food place tucked in between Birds, and a Sushi place, in the Beachwood area. Piazza is a little confusing, I guess it means a plaza in Italy, but it looks a lot like Pizza. But thats the way it is. This is basic pizza at its best. The sauce is more traditional and not too sweet, the cheese is a thick Wisconsin mozzarella that is lightly browned on top. The crust is
Pizza Per Tutti
Thats right, Pizza Per Tutti. I don't know about that name, but it makes you a laugh a little. It didn't exactly have much of a personality, certainly not one that went with its name. The pizza cooked quick, I picked it up, it was a large (which is only 14'') cheese pizza, half with mushrooms because I was splitting it with a coworker. It was 10 dollars which wasn't too bad. The pizza was
Guido's Pizza and Pasta
On my lunch break today I took a long drive to a place I found online called Guido's. I didn't know anything about it, except that it was called Guido's. With a name like that I had to at least try it. As you can see their slogan is also "The Crust you can Trust" There was another place that had that slogan, I of course can't remember which one, and don't want to go back and read my old posts
Bambino's Pizza
Today at work I took a drive to a place called Bambino's. I guess named after the best baseball player of all time, or maybe it's literal, meaning little boy in Italian, maybe that's who cooks the pizza, little children. Either way the pizza wasn't as good as The Great Bambino, maybe a good bambino, say a Ryne Sandberg. Good quality, solid player but doesn't have legendary status. Plus, Ryne
Terroni
is another little fancy Italian place, that has little fancy personal size pizzas. Out of all the over priced designer pizzas, I liked this one best. The sauce was a very tasty sweet sauce with a good amount of cheese. The crust was done pretty well, lightly browned, thin and crunchy with a doughy center. I got the margharita pizza with basil but as you can see the basil was more of a
Robano's Italian Pizza Kitchen
Today I phoned up a relatively new place called Robano's. They have wood fired ovens and claim to make the Brooklyn style thin crust. Their slogan is "Simply the Best.." Unfortunately it is not that simple. The don't deliver, yet. So they say. The place is pretty cool, big area to eat outside, nice big bar inside with the wood fire ovens near by. A large cheese pizza ends up being about 16
Pitfire Pizza Company
This place had a lot of hype around it, or as much hype as you can have for a pizza place. It had a lot of good reviews from all kinds of people. There are 3 locations and today for lunch I went to the North Hollywood location. The whole process of ordering the pizza was kind of annoying - from their stupid website that is designed to look cool, but isn't practical to use, to their casual tone
Pizzeria Mozza
People would rather settle for a pretty good pie down the street, than drive across town to get the best pie, at least thats what I think. With a place called Mozza, it is a different story. Mozza is a place you might come from halfway around the world to eat at, that is if you liked the pizza. This is a fancy place, trendy and expensive. It is not a pizzeria built for pick-ups and deliveries
Joe Peeps
I started a new job this week and it has been changing my eating habits. My time with pizza has become a little more precious. This is a good thing, in the sense I have now more pizza options in a new location, but I also feel wrong eating pizza everyday in front of other people. There is something about pizza that is associated with laziness, perhaps this is because of the way it makes you
Crispy Crust
The other day I didn't feel like looking online for the next best pizza, I didn't feel like driving around trying to find some hidden place, I just wanted pizza. I wanted it brought to my door with the snap of my fingers. Most people in a scenario like this, who don't know a good pizza place, might pick up the phone and call Papa John's or worse Domino's. There is a place called Crispy Crust,
Abbot's Pizza Company
Last night I took a drive to the West Side, Venice. My friend was having a party and the plan was to grab some food beforehand from Abbot's Pizza Company on Abbot Kinney Blvd. When we walked up, there was a line out the door and down the street, this place was poppin'. I thought it must be good pizza with all the traffic. The line was taking forever just to order and we were in a rush so I
