Yeah, sorry, DOUGH BOX
haven’t heard of that one yet… is dough box better than Masa?
INFINITELY.
But takeout only (no real sit down space)
I’m never in that area of town, but I’ll definitely have to bookmark it to try at some point.

Vito’s SM, isn’t it, that’s for sure. I went in there today for a pepperoni slice, to give it another shot, and I stand by my earlier review. It’s a pretty bland, typical L.A. pizza. I will say this, it was a fresher, hotter and in 1000x better condition than the crap slice I got from Prime, as mentioned above.
The only thing that had any flavor besides the heel of the crust, was the Parmesan cheese that I liberally sprinkled on top after taking my first few bites.
If this place was next-door to me, THEN, I might consider going again.
I’ve tried to like vitos, but you are right. Bland, overpriced, overrated pizza. For the taste and value, I still likes my Village Pizza. Just got a village special (the everything pizza) 14" $21. A great value. Especially, if I compare it to a 14" ex-pepperoni, with buffalo mozza at Delicious pizza $28.

oh yeah, open less than a month but theres a great new purveyor of slices in town, though a bit off the beaten path…Nancy Silverton & Matt Molina are collaborating in a Roman style pizzeria in Highland Park…Triple Beam Pizza and for those not familiar, Roman style is sold “al taglio,“by the cut …you order in inches and they cut it with scissors from a pan made long pizza…it was great…not a lot of choices but plenty for me…sausage w/fennel pollen; Margherita; potato pizza; nettles pizza; and a salame…4” is roughly equivalent to a NY slice…I had 2 4” cuts of sausage…it was delish…crust tatted like Mozza, bread but thinner…no excessive cornicione as is typical at Mozza…cheese, etc comes right up to the edge…I added a salame slice which was wonderful…I think they had picnic tables out back and 3 rows of counters to eat at facing an open kitchen…Molina was there, working’ hard getting the pies out…I loved it…there was one slightly hard edge of crust…but otherwise impeccable…

It’s on the list, but I haven’t had an opportunity to try it.
Last time I was out that general direction I opted for Pine and Crane. I’m very excited to see this particular type of pizza in elay.

I had the sausage on Saturday and it was really excellent. This weekend planning to try Il Romanista in El Segundo–for science.

We went on Valentine’sDay and really liked it. Here’s my thoughts…
We got the mushroom (truffle), the margherita and the sausage. They did not have the potato while we were there. Really enjoyed them all, my fav was actually the margherita. Is simple but perfectly done.

Bit of bad news. Slicetruck is no more. They couldn’t make the expansion work financially, so they’ve closed up shop and are trying to sublease the space(s).
That makes me sad. Only visited their west la location once after they moved away from sawtelle. Always loved their pizza.
