653284 Fri Sep 18 11:54:56 -0700 2009 26 2 Los Angeles Area 0 5040106 The previous owners of our house recommended Two Guys From Italy. It's fine, but are there any really good pizza places nearby? Delivery preferred but I'll happily pick it up if it's worth my while. Fri Sep 18 11:54:56 -0700 2009 51707 PC90026 1 5040165 Probably for that general area you should try Brownstone Pizza in Eagle Rock http://www.chow.com/places/15725 and if Fratelli's still there http://www.fratellispizza.net/ in Montrose they do a pretty good pie. Fri Sep 18 12:10:29 -0700 2009 5040106 108169 Servorg 2 5041879 2nd both these recs but I believe Brownstone to be the better of the two Sat Sep 19 08:14:16 -0700 2009 5040165 59001 PurpleTeeth 1 5040717 There's a strange little place in Kenneth Village, between Glendale and Burbank, that has great pizza. George's Cucina I think it's called. The service though, and most of the rest of their menu, isn't very good. You might try Divina Cucina up on Verdugo in Montrose, or Cafe Sole on Verdugo in La Canada. Star Cafe in downtown Montrose also has pretty good pizza. Be sure to report back on your findings! Fri Sep 18 15:29:28 -0700 2009 5040106 13137 jackattack 2 5041807 I can't recommend Divina's pizza (though I love their food). I would suggest Pizza Cucina up on Foothill in La Canada Snootyridge and also second the recommendation for Northend down in Burbank for what they call "Boston-style". Sat Sep 19 07:42:41 -0700 2009 5040717 10811 Das Ubergeek 3 5042851 Unfortunately Pizza Cucina has undergone a change of ownership and while the menu remains exactly the same, the quality of the pies and calzones has slipped dramatically. The sauce is bland, the pizza dough is tough and way too chewy, and the ingredients, particularly the sausage, lack zest. As a local and former regular customer, I find this development disastrous. Sat Sep 19 17:54:43 -0700 2009 5041807 292426 trimtab 2 5041918 I have George's pizza delivered often. It is very good: fresh, homemade neighborhood pizza. Sat Sep 19 08:34:09 -0700 2009 5040717 10308 Tom P 3 5042854 And their meatball and sausage sandwiches are to die for. Sat Sep 19 17:55:29 -0700 2009 5041918 292426 trimtab 1 5041307 I'm originally from NY, living in Glendale 25 years. The best thin crust pizza in the area is North End Pizza in Burbank. Worth the 15 minute drive. Eat it there. 212 E Orange Grove Ave (north of San Fernando) (818) 557-8325 Fri Sep 18 20:53:56 -0700 2009 5040106 65224 suzannelandis 1 5041899 Casa Bianca is in Eagle Rock right down the street from Glendale. http://casabiancapizza.com/ IMHO -- The best of all mentioned. I found North End pizza bland. Two Guys is very average. Sat Sep 19 08:26:21 -0700 2009 5040106 70970 chowchi1 1 5043657 When we used to live in the La Crescenta/Montrose area, the Slaughterhouse Five pizza at Numero Uno in Glendale was always worth the drive. Sun Sep 20 09:02:50 -0700 2009 5040106 138851 ITry 2 5077587 Oh, brings back memories. I loved the Numero Uno Slaughterhouse Five, too. Used to go there a lot in the late 70s and early 80s on Brand Blvd. There was always a wait on weekends. Sun Oct 04 00:26:34 -0700 2009 5043657 39533 gdtobme 1 5044658 Double Deal Pizza in Sunland/Tunga, Order it any way you want. Also Calzones and salads. 951 3241. Sun Sep 20 17:40:02 -0700 2009 5040106 74276 swimfin 2 5045056 Brownstone pizza, well done. Dominicks in La Canada used to be good but our last pizza from them was not so great. Ohhhh I miss the pizza place on verdugo that is now run by Two guys. The owner/chef was from new york and his pizzas were EXCELLENT. But, he retired and sold the location. Sigh. I have not tried the North end pizza place in Burbank and will. Sun Sep 20 21:09:46 -0700 2009 5044658 59036 happybaker 1 5045203 I don't know if this is too far out of your area but the Domenico's in Pasadena. The Old Town closed but the 3 other locations are still open. Very good pizza . . . Sun Sep 20 23:43:25 -0700 2009 5040106 179163 apple7blue 2 5051631 My last 3 tries at Domenicos were awful. I will be hard pressed to try again and I'm within a mile of the one on Washington Blvd. Either underdone and soggy or the dough smelled yeasty. I would definitely not consider them a destination pizza joint. If Pasadena is where you land go to Tarrantinos on Green Street. I still have a soft spot for Casa Bianca in Eagle Rock though. There is a lot of dissension and some great previous threads about it. Get their sausage and whatever else pizza and make sure it is well done. They don't take reservations for small parties so make sure you get there when they open unless you like the scene. BTW, Tarrantinos is small and doesn't take reservations. Wed Sep 23 07:01:34 -0700 2009 5045203 98631 Fru 3 5073951 To be honest, I also got soggypizza from Domenico's. That could be from the box and drive. There Old Town location was great. On the other hand, I am greatly suspicious if you are using Casa Bianca as a yardstick. I literally compared the two night after night consecutively. The Casa Bianca pizza was unedible. Fri Oct 02 01:27:39 -0700 2009 5051631 179163 apple7blue 4 5074649 Don't judge my palate by the fact that I like Casa Bianca. The poster wanted to know about pizza in the SGV. Now, if I said that Casa Bianca beats Regina Pizza in the North End of Boston... And the Domenicos pizza wasn't just soggy, it was under cooked and gooey. That being said, I still patronize Domenicos for things like ravioli which I got last night as I've been without a kitchen since March but it will be a long time before I volunteer to get pizza there unless under duress. Fri Oct 02 09:54:16 -0700 2009 5073951 98631 Fru 1 5046054 Considering that we're occasionally driving back to Silver Lake to get a Nicky D's fix, Burbank and Pasadena are not too far. Thanks, all, for the suggestions. We look forward to eating our way through them, one Friday at a time. Mon Sep 21 09:41:06 -0700 2009 5040106 51707 PC90026 1 5046551 There's a new place that just opened in the strip mall in front of Glendale College called Rico's Pizzeria. While not a fantaastic pizza, it certainly hits the spot if you need something that is a marked upgrade from your typical chain delivery places. Johnnie's (another chain that I haven't tried but may hold some promise) is opening up on Brand Blvd in the food/business court just south of California Ave. http://www.johnniesnypizza.com Mon Sep 21 12:07:30 -0700 2009 5040106 118060 mrshankly 2 5046688 Oh! I recall having Johnnies on the westside and liking it very much. I did not know it was coming here - great! Mon Sep 21 12:46:57 -0700 2009 5046551 59036 happybaker 1 5047240 Pizza snob here and i just ate Folliero's in Highland Park for the first time last night. it was awesome!!! Two of us finished a large pie and stuffed ourselves b/c it was so yummy. Mon Sep 21 15:38:05 -0700 2009 5040106 106704 Clyde 1 5050464 Ok, I know I will be called crazy. But there is a kiosk at the Americana in Glendale. I think it's called Charlie Palmer's. They have pizza by the slice and we just found out they deliver. It is REALLY good. Very thin crust, big slices, NY style. Yes, it's from a kiosk in a mall, but it's REALLY good. Give it a try before you knock me! Tue Sep 22 16:34:35 -0700 2009 5040106 19980 kellydeez 2 5051199 Actually it is called Richie Palmer's -- he is one of the owners of Mulberry Street NY pizza in Beverly HIlls and Encino. I have enjoyed Mulberry Street for many years as it is one of the better NY pizza's in LA -- finally some good pizza in downtown Glendale. Tue Sep 22 23:02:29 -0700 2009 5050464 70970 chowchi1 3 5073952 Mulberry Street NY pizza is excellent. I have eaten at the Beverly Hills joint many times. If this is the same pizza, I will recommend it without having visited it. Fri Oct 02 01:28:55 -0700 2009 5051199 179163 apple7blue 1 5051701 Divina Cucina and Star Cafe in Montrose are both really good. I just tried Dominick's in La Crescenta recently, and it was very good. You have to ask for thin crust, though. My son really digs the pizza at Far Niente (in Glendale), too. Wed Sep 23 07:29:03 -0700 2009 5040106 270433 fotogirl63 1 5078353 Just had a great pie (sausage, mushroom, fresh basil) from a little joint on Honolulu in Montrose called Da Franco. The best I've had in the area! Sun Oct 04 12:28:37 -0700 2009 5040106 292426 trimtab
