Tomato Pie

Tomato Pie is the best Pizza Joint to hit L.A. since Mulberry Street.  While Mozza and other restaurants offer more fancy pizzas, Tomato Pie keeps it real.

Located on Melrose next to Sportie L.A. and across from Fairfax High School, this place has some of the best slices in town.  There is also a second location on Hyperion in Silver Lake.

Hands down, the favorite is the "Grandma" which was ranked by GQ as one of the Top 25 Pizzas in the U.S.A.

 (Hot Wing - Syracuse Style)

"Grandma: Also known as the “Margarita” after the Italian queen in the year blah blah. Actually it’s the first pizza ever invented. Italian Moms loved to make this at home with fresh filleted tomatoes from the garden that they would marinate for a whole day before using. This super simple pie with very light spots of Mozzarella has only an Olive oil base with no sauce per se. Just the Tomatoes crushed by hand and topped with grated Romano and Fresh Basil. It’s perhaps the greatest pizza on the planet."

My personal favorite is The Grandma but there is a close tie for second between many others:

• Mr. White Gourmet
• Joe P
• Hot Wing (Syracuse Style)
• Meat Lover

Lunch in Culver City

Trying to blog from the iPhone for the first time, so bear with me.

Just finished a ridiculously amazing lunch at Lunch in Culver City. It officially opened last Saturday and I will definitely be coming back. Located on Main St. it is walking distance Sony & Culver Studios. There are tons of salads and sandwiches as well as a card you can fill out to make your own sandwich.




I had the Bachelor's Beef: Roast Beef, Carmalized Onions, Provolone, Tomato, Horseradish on White Sourdough. Definitely one of the best "Philly Cheese Steaks" I have ever tasted.




The rest of the group had Grandma's Garden, Grilled Cheese w/ Tomato, Chili, Mac & Cheese & the Chop It To Me Salad. We finished off with a variety of cookies: Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Butterscotch & Cranberry Raisin.
