Mon Apr 30 12:47:03 -0700 2007 11201 Diana 1 2528264 It's fine. Nothing to write home about. Mon Apr 30 12:48:24 -0700 2007 2528261 12161 Mike Z 1 2528783 I just caught the tail end of it and was wondering which pizza place he was talking about... thanks! Mon Apr 30 15:04:55 -0700 2007 2528261 12400 WildSwede 1 2528819 Personally, this is my favorite pizza in town for a slice. The most like New York that I have found. Thin crust, crispy edges with a nice flavor. Good amount of cheese, not too much or little. And I thought the sauce was great as well. I've never gotta a whole pie and this can sometimes change the quality, but for slices, I belive it can't be beat. And the packed house is evidence! Mon Apr 30 15:20:37 -0700 2007 2528261 19980 kellydeez 2 2528889 seriously... you have to try Vito's http://www.chowhound.com/topics/380422 Mon Apr 30 15:44:01 -0700 2007 2528819 68007 wizardx 1 2528839 Their pizza is great. I went there for slices often when I worked down the street. Mon Apr 30 15:28:24 -0700 2007 2528261 86402 brandygirl 1 2529432 I can't believe I missed this episode of California's Gold! Village Pizzeria is hands down our favorite in the hood. While we've had all the usual suspects (Casa Bianca, Nicky D's, Hard Times, etc.), only Village tempts us to return time and time again. Here's a picture of our latest pie, half sundried tomato and garlic and half mushroom and sausage: Mon Apr 30 18:45:54 -0700 2007 2528261 11379 Suebee 1 2529767 Their pizza is OK but dont drive too far. Their pasta dishes and calzone sucked big time the night we tried them last year. Mon Apr 30 20:43:57 -0700 2007 2528261 20663 Josh90004 1 2529776 The best thing about Village is that they build your slices TO ORDER. You aren't picking from a bunch of heat-lamped leftovers. They keep partially-cooked pizzas on the ready so when you want meatballs and olives, they put them on the slice and cook it right then and there. Mon Apr 30 20:47:41 -0700 2007 2528261 76025 mojoeater 1 2529866 For slices, I like Lamonica's better. But I do enjoy a XL Village Works from time to time. The crust is chewy and the meatball slices are yum. Mon Apr 30 21:35:46 -0700 2007 2528261 21754 eatslowly 1 2530114 Once was enough for me. Not bad, but certainly not worth any hoopla. The amount of toppings on our pizza was so pitiful that I was tempted to keep my last slice and show it at Joe Peeps, who certainly don't skimp on the toppings.

I'd rather grab a slice from Abbot's. Tue May 01 21:34:15 -0700 2007 2530114 85741 jamiepinkpanda 1 2530510 I like their toppings more than I like Vito's (especially the clam and garlic), but I much much prefer the crust at Vito's.
