If New York had an embarrassing past of being in a weird 90s white rap-ish group, do you think it would have been called New Yorky York back in the day but would totally get pissed if you called it that now?
I have no idea what I’m talking about.
On a related note, here’s more food from over there.
A salad with falafel, tahini and hummous from Tahini in the East Village:
A few weeks ago I got email notification that Patty’s Pizza (gourmet take and bake) would be closing it’s retail location on Montana Avenue. Well, not exactly closing, but “relocating” to an online delivery service, that, much to my chagrin, will serve only West LA. If you live in Venice, Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, Malibu, Pacific Palisades or even Beverly Hills, you are super lucky. And not just because you live in a nice neighborhood. But also because Patty’s pizza is really fucking delicious. I’ve had their soy cheese pizza and I would venture to say it is, without a doubt, one of the best vegan pizzas I’ve had in LA.
Pizzas range from $8 to $20 and can (and should) be ordered online from www.pattyspizza.com
I joked in an email with Christina, of Blaze PR, that I was tempted to pull an Elaine and order pizza from a mysterious westside address and just wait in front of their house (or in the janitor’s closet) till it arrived. I wouldn’t put it past me.
I missed their closing party but here are some shots:
See, you take ‘em home like this and bake ‘em and then when your friends come over you give Patty no credit and pretend you made it all from scratch and also grew the ingredients mostly. It’s the right thing to do.
You can also get their frozen pizzas at Bristol Farms (or the Trader Joe’s Brand Pepperoni Pizza is also Patty’s)
I don’t know if the above pictures do justice to how good this pizza really is. I’ll get my hands on some, even though it might be harder than it used to be, and I’ll show you how good that shit really looks and tastes in person. When I invite you over to taste the pizza I “made from scratch.”
pizzazz is like pizza with two z’s at the end, which brings me to…my favorite pizza place ever, Z Pizza. No, I don’t think it’s the best pizza in the world. Yes, I do appreciate the ability to order wheat crust and soy cheese, thereby avoiding dairy which I am allergic to and making myself feel about 2% less like a fatass. Because yes, I will eat a whole individual pizza on my own.
Wheat crust, soy cheese, artichokes, mushrooms–staples for me.
caramelized onions–big mistake. made my pizza soggy and weird. I’ve made worse choices than this, though, and I don’t mean pizza toppings. I mean this
Note to self: next time replace onions with sun dried tomatoes and Serbian boxer with a date who showers.
