- Numero Uno is still off the hook
- Round Table is still dope
- Bo Peeps is also a beast
I can't stand Pizza Hut and Dominoes - Too weak and too dry.
Anybody got any Mom & Pops spots to offer?

I really enjoy BJ's Great white...without their garbage tomatoes though.
Peppino's is pretty awesome.
I've never tried Z Pizza...there's one right by my house. Any good?
Gotta love Little Ceaser's Crazy bread too.
Agreed tat Pizza hut and Dominoes are straight trash. |

There is a small chain called Jo-Jo's Pizza Kitchen. I have been to the one in Brea and the one in Chino Hills. They have a few other locations.
Anyway, they have a "Lasagna Pizza" that is the best anywhere!
Worth the trip...IMO!!!
For anyone interested, here's the link.
http://www.jojospizza.com/jojosmain.htm
By the way, can someone PM me to instruct me how to put LINK in the URL spot. I know that we had a thread on that a few years ago, but I couldn't find it.

Are we eating at the same Pizza Huts? Pizza Hut is nothing but greasy and anything but dry.
In Ann Arbor there is the NY Pizza Depot (NYPD), NY style pizza. Very yummy.
The deep dish in Chicago is good. I went to just some random bar in Chicago late one night and found a really good one.
Socks, I will ask around about Lansing pizza, or other places. My gf knows about Bells, but it does not stand out. So either it is not that great, or she just doesn't remember. _________________ Courage doesn't always roar.

The "Too weak" was for Pizza Hut and the "Too dry" was for Dom's! _________________

I've never heard of a Bell's Pizza in Lansing. there's one in Ann Arbor, but I'm sure there's one in Lansing too -- just different. You should look for a Cottage Inn in Lansing...I'm addicted to their garlic cheesebread.
so for local pizza, I like the Cottage Inn. for chains...I like Papa John's. _________________ "I define success by championships, by winning..." Kobe Bryant

Ok, by far some of the HEALTHIEST and yet GREAT TASTING and SAVORY pizza's I've ever had was at a place in Westwood Village called:
D'Amores
The place has absolutely the best ingredients and health conscious pizzas.
If you see the owner, Joe D'Amore, he's a hoot. He'll tell you how he came upon the necessary ingredient to make the pizza taste like home (New York). It's a charming story about his grandma, so have a chat with him if you see him. He's a real intense guy and really friendly.
Try their BIANCO pizza. I prefer chicago style pizza, but D'Amore's health factor and high quality ingredients make for a much more satisfying eating experience.
Another place people keep telling me about, but I've yet to try is "VALENTINO's" in Hermosa Beach.
I gotta check it out soon... |

Zano's Pizza Kitchen in Woodland Hills.. their calzones are the size of NFL footballs and taste incredible. The pizza is damn good as well.
But my favorite has to be the sausage and fried eggplant pie at Casa Bianca in Eagle Rock.. nothing even comes close. _________________ “These young guys are playing checkers. I'm out there playing chess.” - Kobe Bryant |

Ok, I was going to start this thread if Luxury didn't. The other threads were great, but let's face it, L.A. knows how to do hot dogs and burgers. We could even throw in tacos and donuts and sit here all day talking about it.
When it comes to pizza, things are a little bleaker.
For me, NY style pizza is where it's at. You can keep your Chicago deep dish. The problem of course is where to find such a beast in The City of Angels. Of course there are the big national chains. Might as well just spread some ketchup on a hunk of cardboard. I've had pizza at Costco, as unlikely a place as that might be, and that stuff holds up quite well, though it doesn't scratch that itch. California Pizza Kitchen is the only national chain worth knowing, but they do their stuff different. Good, but different. There are only two places I've been to that approach the quality I'm looking for.
Ameci's consistently delivers good stuff. It's a chain, but not a large one.
The other place is NYPD Pizza. I've eaten at the one in Burbank. This is a different chain than the one mentioned in Ann Arbor and it's got the goods as well. Both of these places are great pizza joints, but I've yet to find one that is comparable to the stuff I had while I was in the NYC. _________________ Game recognize game, Granddad. - Riley Freeman, The Boondocks |
