Field Report: Terroni, Los Angeles
Here's another community-submitted bit of intel from the field (again from L.A., what is this!?!) from Lara B. (aka "Leebo" in Slice/SeriousEats-land). Thanks, Lara! And remember, if YOU want to submit your review, here's how. —The Mgmt. [Photographs: Lara "Leebo" B.] Terroni 7605 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles CA 90036 (at Curson; map); 323-954-0300; terroni.ca Pizza style: Neapolitan Oven type: Electric Price: $12 to $17 for medium (the only size) Being a recent transplant to Los Angeles, I discovered that great pizza is actually hard to find here. Well, it wasn't that big of a surprise, but I was on a...Los Angeles: SliceTruck Is Awesome!
Another community-submitted bit of intel from the field (again from L.A.!) from Misty O. Thanks, Misty! --The Mgmt. [Photograph: Misty O.] SliceTruck The road; follow @slicetruck on Twitter for exact locations slicetruck.com Pizza style: New York–style The skinny: It's a truck serving pizza! Price: $3 a slice, two for $5 It's amazing pizza...from a truck. Ignore any bad reviews you've heard (I think the last reviewer went during a food truck fest, when they had to make pizza en masse). SliceTruck is awesome. Their crust is thin and super crunchy, toppings are fresh, and the guys who work there are...Los Angeles: Bottega Louie
Another community-submitted bit of intel from the field from jms1253. Thanks, jms1253! —The Mgmt. [Photograph: Bottega Louie] Bottega Louie 700 S Grand Avenue, Los Angeles CA 90017 213-802-1470; bottegalouie.com Pizza style: Neapolitan Oven type: Wood Stone Price: Margherita pizza (serves 1), $16 Bottega Louie pizza is the only reason I'll travel downtown. The texture of their crust is absolutely perfect, and I would drink their sauce straight if they sold it in water bottles. I've tried them all, and this is, hands down, the best pie on the entire West Coast. —jms1253 Want to see your favorite pizzeria on Slice?...Los Angeles: SliceTruck
I started to write an editor's note here, but it got too long — almost longer than this review. So it's after the jump if you'd care to read it. —The Mgmt. [Photograph: Slice Truck] SliceTruck The road; follow @slicetruck on Twitter for exact locations slicetruck.com Pizza style: New York imitation The skinny: It's a truck serving pizza! Price: $3 a slice, two for $5 I went for the SliceTruck, very curious about the quality as all I've heard is from the internet. The best part about the pizza might've been the basil and Parmesan sprinkled on afterward, then the...Sunset Magazine Picks the Bay Area's 'Hottest' Pizza

Here, our picks for the best in the Bay.

I've been sleeping on this story for a while, and for that I must apologize to you, dear reader, and to the Pizza Hacker, a pizza street vendor who I've known about for a couple months but haven't yet blogged about. The Pizza Hacker, based in San Francisco, uses a modified 22.5-inch Weber kettle grill that he's fitted with fire bricks. To mimic a traditional pizza oven, whose shape is ideal for cooking a pizza, he used the original lid to mold an oven dome from refractory cement and perlite. Pizza Hacker shows up at various locations throughout SF...L.A.: The SliceTruck
[Photographs: Slice Truck] While pizza from a truck predates the current food-truck craze, the type of pizza you'd most often see come from a kitchen on wheels seemed to be the Sicilian slices. In L.A., a city not really known for pizza, the new SliceTruck mobile vendor looks like it's turning out some thin, thin pizzas I'd eat in a flash. I mean, look at that pepperoni pie up there. If seeing is believing, call me Mickey Dolenz. The SliceTruck roams the streets of L.A. As is de rigueur with street-fooders these days, use Twitter to follow their schedule...Oakland, Calif.: Boot and Shoe Service Is Charlie Hallowell's Follow-up to Pizzaiolo
View Larger Map Boot and Shoe Service is maybe not the most appetizing name for a second location, but given who's behind it I'm sure it'll turn out pizza that's far from tough and leathery. It's the long-awaited follow-up to Charlie Hallowell's Neapolitan-style-slingin' Pizzaiolo. From the San Francisco Chronicle: The narrow dining room, lined by an exposed-brick wall, faces the kitchen where cooks turn out pizzas in the Pizzaiolo style - thin, crisp and topped with artisanal and seasonal ingredients such as wild nettles, local chanterelles and Monterey Bay squid and house-made sausage. Open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Boot...NY & C(hicago) Pizza: Fugheddaboutit!
[Photographs: L.A. Pizza Maven] I love pizza! Everyone reading this site loves pizza (I hope). The very thought of a 14- to 18-inch round, properly baked crust covered with a fresh, spicy sauce and a fresh, creamy mozzarella (and perhaps some crumbled fennel sausage) triggers a salivary response worthy of one of Pavlov's dogs. So the recent opening of a new high-concept pizzeria here in Santa Monica, California, set me percolating and salivating with anticipation. The name, NY & C (as in New York & Chicago), belies the concept. The Big Apple and the Windy City, competitive in everything...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
