Two Boots Pizza?

[schrutefarms]

Anyone been? How is it? Does it compare to their New York counterpart?

I think the pizzas are quite good, esp. the sun dried tomato one (forget the name).

I like the Sicilian crust.

I will say that their silly names for their pizza creations are a bit pretentious, if not outright annoying.

Just ate 3 slices the other night. One crust good and crunchy, very NY, the other two were a little soggy but I liked the flavor and will go back. I can not wait to try their version of a muffelatta.

I really like Two Boots. Love the crust with the cornmeal bottom and the great toppings.

And it's one of the few places where ordering a slice works.

So true re ordering a slice and the extra dousing of cornmeal on the crust. And I can't stress the importance of delivery in Echo Park!

Tried a slice at Garage Pizza last week. Mistake! Unlike Two Boots which has about 10 pizza to chose from, Garage Pizza takes a basic cheese slice and adds toppings.

It was like a hockey puck. Very hard.

I've been to multiple locations in NYC, and to the one out here recently and thought they were very comparable. It's a twist on NYC pizza, so it's got the thin, crisp, cornmeal crust but also funky combo flavors like cheddar cheeseburger sausage.

My advice would be to order a small personal sized pizza - which was far tastier (and warmer) than the individual slices. I'm a fan.

And Candee - it's in Echo Park, right down the street from the Echo and the American Apparel.

I ordered a small pizza with shrimp and crawfish and it was wonderful!
Definitely better than the slices - the crust is much thinner.....

Two Boots is a welcome alternative; most importantly in Echo Park, they deliver. Love the white pizza variation and can't wait to try the po'boys. Might represent a certain level of competition for nearby Masa (which has convoluted delivery).

I had it the other night with friends and we all thought it was fantastic...!

Where is it?

[Normal Garciaparra]

In Echo Park, on Sunset Blvd between Alvarado and Echo Park Ave. If you're familiar with the club The Echo, it's right next door.

I think it's great. Is it the best, most "authentic" pizza in town? WHO CARES!
I dig the cornmeal crust.
I also tried the "Central Grocery" po'boy, which is sort of a contradiction since Central Grocery is known for Italian mufulettas, and not Creole po'boys. It's essentially a mufuletta-po'boy hybrid. Is it an authentic po'boy? No way, but who cares, it's a good sandwich.

What was on The Central Grocery Po'Boy?

The contents are on their menu website: http://www.twoboots.com/TW2008/Menus0...

A real mufaletta does not have lettuce and mayo and is mainly olive spread. But I guess that's the "po boy" part.

[aventinus]

it's "ok."

Never been to the one in NY, but it certainly doesn't hold a candle to John's in NY. The crust has an oddly sweet flavor which is not terrible, it's just different. I do like the selection of unusual New Orleans-influenced toppings, since most places here have the same old toppings. I had one slice with jalapenos that was lying around for a while and was just ok, and then a freshly-made cheese slice with optional artichoke and crawfish additions that was quite good.
It's a good place to have available in that area but I don't think it would be worth a trip from anywhere that already has decent pizza.
