Lasagna for a crowd, to take home?

[CulverJack]

So - where would you go for a big pan of great cheese or veggie lasagna to serve to a crowd? We'll be picking it up and reheating at home. Anywhere westside to fairfax would be fine.

Also - any recs for either of the Kosher dairy restaurants (Milk n Honey, Nagila, or Pizza World) for their lasagna?

Thanks Hounds. Bay Cities came through in a big way for us yesterday - excellent veggie lasagna (their only veggie is mushrooms, BTW, and it was great) and stuffed shells (cheese). Their sauce was fantastic - great onion/green pepper flavor mingling with the tomato sauce. And fab bread, our loaves came out of their oven right as we carried out the pasta trays. The crowd left happy, and with leftovers.

So many people line up for the deli sandwiches, and rightly so, that most don't know about the fine hot fare that Bay Cities serves, and without the wait. Very generous plates with an entree (e.g. Italian meatloaf, pot roast, the forementioned lasagna) with choice of two sides for about $8. I like buying a couple of their excellent rolls and a few meatballs to make sandwiches for later (they don't travel especially well already made). Note, however, that on my last visit a couple of weeks ago they were charging $1.75 per meatball (with sauce) until you ordered six or more, when they cost the old $1.25 each.

You can probably order it from either Bay Cities Italian Deli in Santa Monica or Sorrento Italian Market in Culver City. If it has to be truly "Kasher" Kosher, you might want to post on the Kosher board.

I believe Louise's has decent versions of both meat and veggie by the pan at reasonable prices. But there're probably some more chow-friendly options out there too.
