Dough Box Pizza & Bread-Moved

Dough Box Pizza & Bread
2734 N Eastern Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90032
323-346-6811

Back in 2016 I went to Dough Box Pizza & Bread, when they were a take out only business, using a commercial kitchen.  They would open up a brick and motor restaurant a few miles away.  Recently I read on LA Eater, they were going to close by the end of the year. 

I always take these closing notices with a grain of salt.  In late 2017 to early 2018 they wrote that Twoheys would going to close.  Then they wrote they are going to move to South Pasadena.  Yet, here we are in 2019 and they are still at that same location.  The South Pasadena building, the last time I went by, looks at least 2-3 months away from being able to serve the public.

Anyways,  Dough Box Pizza & Bread is really, still a take out place.  There is one small counter with no seats, for people to eat.


On their Instagram page, Dough Box had a large cheese pizza for $20, to celebrate National Cheese Pizza Day!  This pizza is called the Soto on their menu.  I liked the crust, well balanced, flaky, and held up to the toppings.  There was plenty of cheese.  But, the sauce is still too tangy for me tastes.  They need to balance the sauce with some sweetness!


Sicilian slice special $5- mushrooms, garlic, and red onions.

One thing I didn't know, was that Dough Box Pizza & Bread had Sicilian slices!  I decided to give a slice a try.  This was terrible.  The trust was too hard and the sauce was so tangy.  The toppings were fine.

Service was ok.  They told me after I ordered, it would take 1 hour and 10 minutes for the pizza to be ready.

I won't go back to Dough Box.  I only went to see their brick and mortar location.  But, the pizza isn't good.

Hail Mary Pizza

Hail Mary Pizza
3219 Glendale Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90039
323-284-8879

After going to PoeWow Pizza , after seeing it on LA Eater's list of the 22 Essential Pizza in LA, I decided to go to another pizza restaurant on the list- Hail Mary Pizza, this is number 12 on the list.  Pizza of Venice, Triple Beam, Grimaldi's, Prime Pizza, DeSano Pizza Bakery, Settebello Pizzeria, Vito's, Pizzeria MozzaCasa Bianca, and my favorite pizza in LA- Village Pizzeria!  Only ten more places to go!!


Margherita pizza $12- This was a 13in pizza. If some of this pizza wasn't burnt, this would have been a very good pizza.  But, the burnt pieces and a little too much olive oil ruined it for me.  Fresh ingredients, good crust- the parts that weren't brunt.  But, if you're going to be on the 22 Essential list, you can't make this mistake.  I would much rather go to Elios Wood Fire Pizza!

Service is good.

Like I said, if they didn't burn some of the crust, this was be a good pizza.  But, they got only one chance, and I won't return.

Update August 31, 2019

Ok, I know I said I won't return.  But, Hail Mary has $2 slices of their square pizza from open to 2:30pm.  So, I got two slices, and since I was in the area, I gave them a try.  No, no, and NO!

Again, that same burnt crust, and a weird tangy taste that just ruined this pizza.  You can get a better and bigger slice of pizza at Costco!!

I will not be going back to Hail Mary Pizza again!

IKEA

IKEA Food Court
848 S Barranca Ave
Covina, CA 91723
626-732-4532

While I was looking at You Tube videos that reviewed the Impossible Whopper at Burger King, I noticed a video review of the IKEA food court!  So, I decided to give them a visit. Before I continue, I can't believe there are 15-20 minute reviews of the Impossible Whopper on You Tube.  Some people just love to hear themselves talk!  About 90% of those videos are BS and really have nothing to do with the Impossible Whopper.

Anyways, I went to the IKEA food court, where they have hot dogs, soda, pizza, and some other treats.  IKEA also has a dining room where they serve salmon, meatballs- both vegan and with meat, and other items.  I didn't go there. 


Veggie hot dogs- 75 cents each. They come with mustard and some cabbage, but I asked for mustard only.  This was shocking good!  Good flavor and texture on the veggie dogs.  I'm not sure if they are vegan, but man a good veggie hot dog.

Cheese pizza slice, $1.75.  Ok I actually saw the worker take a whole pizza out of the freezer, take off the wrapping and put it into the oven!  The one in the oven already, he actually forgot to take off the cardboard, so he had to put the pizza back into the oven!  Anyways, I waited maybe five minutes for the pizza.  It was fine.  Look, I'm not expecting a great pizza.  It was certainly better than that chain papa john's, owned by that racist idiot.  But, IKEA's pizza isn't as good as Costco pizza.

Service is good.

I would go back to IKEA for the hot dogs, and will try their dining room items. But, I'll pass on the pizza.

PowWow Pizza-Closed


PowWow Pizza
4085 Atlantic Ave Ste B
Long Beach, CA 90807
562-283-0152

After going to Pizza of Venice, after seeing it on LA Eater's list of the 22 Essential Pizza in LA, I decided to go to another pizza restaurant on the list- PowWow Pizza, in Long Beach.  PowWow makes 11 of the 22 place on that list, that I have gone to!

Apparently the own of PowWow is from Cambodia, and some of the pizza has Cambodian influences.  There is also a Korean, Indian, and a Filipino influenced pizzas on the menu.

PowWow is in corner unit, with a semi circular front counter-where you place your order.  There are regular and high top tables inside, and four tables outside.  They have a pizza oven that is blasting like crazy!  It's a few blocks north of the still open, and apparently thriving Bake and Broil!

One topping medium pizza-$10, with mushrooms.  This was a great pizza!  Plenty of gooey cheese, nice rich flavorful sauce, and a decent amount of mushrooms.  The crust with dense, chewy, and had good flavor.  It held up to all the toppings like a champ!

Service was good. I could see they were busy, not only with customers in the restaurant, but online and phone orders!  The pizza oven was firing the entire time I was there.  The two people working were going non stop filling the orders.  While the guy who took my order didn't give me a time when my pizza was going to be ready- he did apologize for the wait when he brought my pizza to my table.

I would go back to PowWow Pizza any time!

Pizza Of Venice

Pizza Of Venice
2545 N Fair Oaks Ave
Altadena, CA 91001
626-765-9636

LA Eater had a list of the 22 Essential Pizza in LA.  I have been to nine of the places listed.  Triple Beam, Grimaldi's, Prime Pizza, DeSano Pizza Bakery, Settebello Pizzeria, Vito's, Pizzeria MozzaCasa Bianca, and my favorite pizza in LA- Village Pizzeria!  So, I decided to make it an even ten and go to Pizza of Venice! 

Located in a small strip mall with a liquor store and a beauty salon.  It's a small place, and I'm betting it was a bar before.  The kitchen is in the back room, and there is a counter in front of the kitchen.  There is counter seating throughout the front dining area.

Cheese pizza- $6.  The pizza comes in a 10in size.

As the LA Eater story mentioned, the pizza aren't a perfect square.  But, they are damn good!  Nice thin crust.  The sauce is flavorful and they use a good quality cheese.  A very good pizza and I'm shocked I never heard of Pizza of Venice until now.  They have been open since at least 2013!

Service is good!

I would go back to Pizza of Venice anytime!

Elios Wood Fire Pizza


Elios Wood Fire Pizza
Sunset Blvd between Coronado and Benton Way
Silver Lake
Find them on Instagram- @elios.wood.fire.pizza

I found out about Elios Wood Fire Pizza, after watch a You Tube video about them!  Elios sets up everyday, in Silver Lake, on Sunset Blvd. between Coronado and Benton Way.  They are in the parking lot of a liquor store- ideal to get something to drink while waiting for pizza.  While the parking lot, in general, is huge; Elios only gets to the far half.  There is meter parking on Sunset.  They usually set up at 6pm until the dough runs out or 10pm, whichever comes first.

They are a wood fire pizza, with their wood fire pizza over sitting on the back of a pickup truck. It's Neapolitan style pizza.
All pizzas start at $10 for cheese, then $1 for each topping.  I just got a cheese pizza.  It's a personal size, about what you get at Pizza Rev, Pieology, Project Pie, and Blaze.

The crust was great; good flavor, good texture with a nice char, and chewy soft texture.  They put a ton of cheese on the pizza.  The sauce was mild, not too tangy or sweet.  One thing I noticed, some pizza were burnt or charred too much.  That's because they only had one person working the pizza oven and the prep area.   So he may have been busy and didn't check the pizzas in the oven.  While I was eating, another person came and helped prep the pizza, so the pizza were more consistent.

Service is good.  They are nice, hard work, and the girl who took orders, let everybody know the pizza would take 15-20 minutes to be ready.

I would go back to Elios Wood Fire Pizza anytime.  This is great pizza!

Pizza Buona

Pizza Buona
922 N Alvarado St Ste C
Los Angeles, CA 90026
213-413-0800

Pizza Buona had been on the corner of Sunset Blvd and Alvarado since 1959.   But, in 2016 they moved further south on Alvarado since Echo Park has undergone gentrification, many old time stores and restaurants were hit with huge rent increases.  Currently, another Italian restaurant, which includes the name Buona, is at the former location of Pizza Buona.

Large mushroom pizza-$15 plus $2.50 per topping.  While they pile on the cheese and there was a good amount of mushrooms, the crust just ruined it.  The crust was soggy, tough, and very chewy.  I don't know what happen since the time I went there in 2009.  But, the pizza isn't good anymore.

Service was ok.  The lady, who I believe is the owner, isn't the most friendliest, and it took forever, close to 30 minutes for my pizza to be done.

California Sun-Closed

California Sun
3903 Sunset Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90029
323-800-2456

California Sun opened up in Feb. 2019.  They serve Detroit and New York style pizza.  Across Sunset Blvd. from Flore, they offer vegan options, and have beer in cans and on draft.  Silver Lake has damn good pizza with places like Tomato Pie, Garage Pizza, and the now closed Nicky D's. So, California Sun has a lot of competition!

As you walk in there a diagonal shaped bar, and to the right is the counter to order pizza.  You can get half slices, two off menu prices.  The slices are huge.  The pizza by the slice changes daily.  You can make your own New York style pizza, but Detroit style is whatever they make that day.  They have vegan options on the Detroit style.

I had plans in another part of Silver Lake, but wanted to check out California Sun.  As I walked in the guy at the counter was very helpful.  He even gave me a card where I got a free cheese slice!!  Later that night,  I dropped in to try the pizza.

Cheese slice- $5.  This was very good.  Good quality sauce, not tangy or too sweet, well balanced. Lots of cheese, good firm, yet chewy crust.  Loved this pizza!!  A huge slice, cut from a 20in pizza.  Well worth the $5 price.


Vegan Taco slice-$8. Yellow American cheese, cherry tomatoes, olives, lettuce, pickled jalapenos, el pato, carne impossible meat.  Wow, was this good.  I could do without the olives and since they put the lettuce on after reheating, it's tough to take off the olives.  But, great flavor, tons of toppings, and again, a huge portion.

Service was great!  Very friendly and helpful staff!

I would go back to California Sun anything!!

Lupetti Pizzeria- Closed

Lupetti Pizzeria
710 E 4th Pl
Los Angeles, CA 90013
213-415-1938

Lupetti Pizzeria is a fairly new pizza place in the Arts District.  The only signage is the neon pizza sign pictured above.  Apparently, there is a bar, complete with a secret door, inside this building.  But, most of the building is a pizza.  There is bar seating and a few tables, along with a counter. 

Fresh pizza- $12, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and basil.  Their version of the margherita pizza.  This was good, not great.  The sauce is a bit too sweet, but the crust is pretty good.  Toppings were fine, but a bit stingy on the amount of cheese.

Service was good.

I may go back and try their regular pie, but if it is the same sauce as the Fresh pizza, I won't be a fan.

Pizzeria Luigi

Pizzeria Luigi
2121 El Cajon Blvd
San Diego, CA 92104
619-294-9417 

I heard about Pizzeria Luigi on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.  Since I was in the San Diego area, I decided to try it.  Pizzeria Luigi has three locations, Golden Hill location being the original. The only other pizza I've tried in San Diego was Bronx Pizza.

It's a huge place, with some outdoor seating, a bar area; complete with games like fusball and shuffleboard, and the dining area on the right side of the building. 


18in pizza with spinach and mushrooms, $17 plus $1.50 per vegetable topping.The crust was amazing- very firm and great texture.  You could load the pizza up with a ton of toppings and the crust was still hold up.  The sauce was well balance, and full of flavor.  The toppings were fresh and plentiful.  I thought this pizza was great!! 

Service is good. 

If I was in San Diego, I would go back to Pizzeria Luigi any time!!

Delicious Pizza

Delicious Pizza
5419 W Adams Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90016
323-424-3014

Delicious Pizza was listed as one of the top 17 places in 2017 in Los Angeles to get a slice, by Eater.   I tried a few other places on that list; The Coop, Pie Life Pizza in Pasadena, Pizzanista, Pellicola, Joe's Pizza, and Prime Pizza.

Delicious Pizza is located in a barren part of Adams Blvd.  There isn't much around here.  It's almost like the oasis in the middle of the desert.  The front entrance has bar and some tables.  To the right is their dining room which is separated by a wall.  Interesting that they serve coffee drinks in addition to beer and wine!.




 Large, 16in, cheese pizza-$16.  The crust is very firm, great texture, and will hold up to any amount of toppings.  This was just a bit too well done, but a good tasting pizza.  Sauce has some nice flavor, and there were plenty of cheese.  If they had taken this pizza out maybe two minutes sooner, this would have been a great pizza. 

Service is good.

I would go back to Delicious Pizza again!

The Pizza Plant

The Pizza Plant
55 S Madison Ave
Pasadena, CA 91101
424-341-1969

The Pizza Plant is located in a space called Kitchen United.  It's like a food court, where are a bunch of restaurants that share the back of the house-the kitchen space, and the front of the house is a common dining area.  I noticed Canter's Deli, a Cuban restaurant, and Mama Musubi, sharing this space.  They do not accept cash, it's all plastic.  You order at a kiosk.  Then somebody calls out your order.  It takes some getting used to.

The Pizza Plant is a vegan pizza place- just like Cruzer Pizza, it seems like pizzas come in three sizes- a 10 in round, a 14 in thin pan, and a 24in that you can share.


The 36% • Everything But The Hog Classic House-made Pepperoni, Plant Craft Cashew Mozzarella, San Marzano Marinara, Oregano-Thin crust pan style-$14.  This was terrible!  A complete waste of money and calories.  The crust was too crispy, had no flavor, and was .  The sauce was too bland, no flavor.  The pepperoni was like eating rubbery, chewy, pieces of flavorless gum.  The cheese was the only thing that was half way good.

Service- The only service is some person calling your name, when your order is ready.  He was nice and he did answer some questions about what other restaurants were part of this Kitchen share.

No reason for me to go back to The Pizza Plant.

LBK Pizzeria


LBK Pizzeria
4359 Tujunga Ave
Studio City, CA 91604
818-824-3511

LBK Pizzeria was touted on LA Eater, as a popular Brooklyn pizzeria that is opening in LA.  Located in a busy part of Studio City, there is no signage on the awning, so GPS may say you've arrived but you're still not sure where it is.  It's basically a take-out place, with a counter with four bar stools, and a couple picnic tables on the sidewalk.



The pizzas are Neapolitan pizza.  I got the small Margherita pizza, $16, mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce, and a piece of basil.  a 12in pizza.  The crust is awesome!! One of the best crust I've ever had.  Crispy, yet firm and chewy.  Great texture and flavor.  But, flavor was lacking in the tomato sauce.  Way too bland and just flavorless.  The cheese was fine.  This could have been an outstanding pizza if their tomato sauce had an flavor!!

Service is good.

LBK Pizzeria didn't live up to their hype.  The pizza is fine, but I would much rather go to DeSano Pizza Bakery, which makes the best Neapolitan pizza in LA!

Yeast N’ Flour Pizza-Closed


Yeast N’ Flour Pizza
231 N Euclid Ave
Ontario, CA 91762
909-391-6525

David Allen reviewed Yeast N’ Flour Pizza back in 2016.  I didn't realize Ontario had an interesting downtown, with historic buildings, so I decided to go and get some pizza!! 

Yeast N’ Flour Pizza is on Euclid right in the heart of downtown Ontario.  It's a huge building with high ceilings and TV's all over.  There are tables in the front, and the back wall is the counter and kitchen.  This is fast casual pizza, where you order at the counter and the pizza is taken to your table.



12in build your own pizza, $8.45, with spinach, mushrooms, red onions, and half the pizza with jalapenos.

The crust is outstanding!  Firm and crispy but yet very good texture!  The toppings were fresh and they piled on the cheese!!  An outstanding pizza and better than the other fast casual pizza I've had at Pizza Rev, Blaze, Pieology and Project Pie.

I would go back to  Yeast N’ Flour Pizza, anytime!  They even have a 16in., 12 slices pizza!  Maybe the next time I go here!!

Winco Pizza


Winco Pizza
90 Rio Rancho Rd.,
Pomona, CA 91766
909-623-7460

Winco, the grocery store, sells their own pizza, like Costco and Sam's Club.  But, Winco you don't need a membership.  Though at any Costco with an outdoor food court, you don't really need a membership either!

Anyways, there is an interesting store with Winco's pizza.  Their history is printed on top of their box.  Winco first started selling pizza in 1993 under the Figaro's Pizza, which was a franchise that made take and bake pizzas.  Ten years later in 2003, Winco took over and called it Leonardi's Pizza.  If you look at the picture above, you will still see the Leonardi's Pizza sign in the background.

Winco still has the same set up.  They offer both unbaked and baked pizza.  The prices listed for unbaked pizza.  For a baked pizza it's $1 extra.


Large, 14 in, build your own with up to 5 toppings.  I got spinach, jalapeno, red onions, mushrooms, and extra cheese!  The was a terrible pizza.  The cheese was a weird unmelted slop.  The toppings were fresh, but the crust was too sweet, and a bit undercooked.  The sauce was barely there and just bland.

Service was good.

I didn't have great expectations for Winco Pizza, and they even failed to live up to that.  One of the worst pizzas I've ever had.  Save your money, and just go buy a Costco pizza, not only is the pizza bigger, it is also so much better.  Even Sam's Club-where the pizza is mediocre, at best, is better than the pizza at Winco!

Cruzer Pizza-Moved


Cruzer Pizza
4449 Prospect Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90027
323-666-0600

Cruzer Pizza is located just off of Hillhurst, in Los Feliz.  It's a very small, most take-out place.  There is one table with two chairs and a counter with about four bar stools.  They do a huge take out business with many customers coming in to pick up orders.

It's 100% vegan, including the crust!  Some places forgot that if the crust has eggs, it is not vegan!  


Vegan Veggie Pizza-large 14 in., $17.99, with six veggies of your choice.  Dairya cheese, half olives, tomatoes, garlic, mushrooms, onions, and spinach.  The crust was outstanding!! Firm, holding up to the toppings, yet a good texture!  The daiya cheese isn't my favorite.  It's has a weird texture.  The sauce is just bland.  They need to add more spices to the sauce.  The veggies were fresh.  I should try the vegan meats!  The Philly Cheesesteak pizza will be my next order from here.

Service is good.

I wasn't blown away by Cruzer Pizza.  It was fine.  The blandness of the sauce still gets me.  But, I would go back because I think the crust is outstanding!

Monstrous Pizza


Monstrous Pizza
557 N Azusa Ave
Covina, CA 91722
626-339-2100

Just a bit north on Azusa Ave. from Sun's New Kitchen, is Monstrous Pizza; in a huge shopping center directly across Azusa from the Northwoods Inn.  It's a take out and delivery operation.  There were a ton of people working the night I went.  There were tons of pizza waiting for hungry customers on the shelve behind the register.


They had specials on one topping medium- 12 in, large 14in and XL-16 in, pizzas, starting at $6.99, with the XL priced at $9.99.  I got the large for $7.99 with mushrooms  The dough is thicker, but very soft and good.  While I generally like my dough thinner, this was good.  The cheese and fresh mushrooms were fine.  This is a solid pizza, nothing outstanding, but a good value.

Service was good.  But, the guy who helped me had such a soft voice, I couldn't hear him over all the noise in the kitchen.

If you're in the area and need a good value pizza, and Costco is closed, Monstrous Pizza is a very good option!.  I would go back!

Michael’s Pizzeria


Michael’s Pizzeria
5616 E 2nd St
Long Beach, CA 90803
562-987-4000

Michael’s Pizzeria opened in 2013, right next door to Michael's on Naples-which is a fine dining restaurant.  Around 2014, I read that Michael's Pizzeria was the #1 pizza place in America.  I found that hard to believe, but wanted to give them a try.  But, I never got around to go to Long Beach.  But, on a cloudy Saturday I was nearby and figured I should finally try it.

Michael's Pizzeria is a like Settebello, in Pasadena, and Desano Pizza Bakery, in East Hollywood, a Neapolitan style pizza.  The pizza are baked in wood burning oven.  They are personal sized, about 10in. 



Margarita Pizza $14, with House-made mozzarella, San Marzano tomato sauce, basil, and extra virgin olive.  The sauce was a bit watery, and bland.  No flavor or seasoning at all.  The basil was charred in a few places, but the mozzarella was very good.  The crust was good, but salty.  The saltiness of the crust made up for the blandness of the tomato sauce.  The price is fair, as they use good quality ingredients, but the execution wasn't there!  They currently have a promotion; every Monday, if you buy any pizza, you get a margarita pizza free!! 

Service, I got my order to go, was good.

I was expecting a lot from Michael's and they didn't deliver.  It's a good version of  Neapolitan style pizza, but not the best! Of the Neapolitan style pizza I've tried within the past 3-5 years, I would rank DeSano #1, Settebello #2, and Michael's a distance third place.

Triple Beam Pizza

Triple Beam Pizza
5918 N Figueroa St
Los Angeles, CA 90042
323-545-3534

Triple Beam Pizza is part of the Nancy Silverton restaurant empire.  Silverton started Mozza. It's on the ever changing Figueroa in Highland Park. Triple Beam is a east of Folliero Pizza & Italian Food and south of Maximiliano and Town Pizza, the other contenders for good pizza in Highland Park.

Triple Beam is part of a wine store and a yet to be opened restaurant.  It's very casual, all take out.  The more interesting thing is that pizza is sold by the ounce!  A typical slice of New York pizza is about 4 oz.  You also have the option of getting your pizza Roman style-just straight from the counter or American-the pizza is heated up.

Vegan pizza $7-no cheese, mushrooms,

This was a great pizza, even without any type of cheese.  The mushrooms are piled high and gives a good earthy flavor.  They use good quality mushrooms.  The crush was great, good texture, not soggy or too crispy.  The sauce was flavorful, but not overpowering.

The vegan pizza was worth the $7 price, I'm guessing it's right around the 6 oz with all the mushrooms on top. 




Wild Nettles-fontina cheese, wild nettles. $1.30 per oz.  The crust for this was a bit burnt, but I like the cheese and flavor.  The nettles had a nice flavor and texture.  Maybe a bit like kale, but hard to really describe. 

Service was good.  I got there after they closed, but the door was still open.  The manager gave me the slice of wild nettles on the house.  When I asked if there was any meat on the nettles, he asked if I was vegan or vegetarian, and said he had a vegan slice in the oven.  He sold me the vegan slice.

I would go back to try some other pizzas.  Triple Beam Pizza is a good addition to the pizza scene in Los Angeles!

Innovation Brew Works


Innovation Brew Works
3650 W Temple Ave
Pomona, CA 91768
909-979-6197


Innovation Brew Works is located on the campus of Cal Poly Pomona.  But, unlike the other two times I went to eat at Cal Poly Pomona, Los Olivos Dining Commons and Cafe Vista, which is now closed; this is advertised to the public. The other two are opened to the public, but not really advertised to the public.

It's really a brewery with some salads, sandwiches, and pizza.  The pizza is much like Pizza Rev, Pieology, or Blaze,you can put as many toppings as you want. So, on National Pizza Day I stop in at Innovation Brew Works!  Innovation Brew Works shares the parking lot with Cal Poly Pomona's Extension classes and some other university related offices.  There is a parking lot right out front, but there are different signs for sections of spaces.  One section is from Innovation Works.  Others are for employees of the school.  The section for Innovation Work maybe 6 spaces and you have to have a parking pass from Innovation Works.  The front 3-5 spaces have a one hour time limit.  They really should make parking for Innovation Works bigger.  Nothing worse than getting a parking ticket while eating. 

All pizzas are $8.75.  I got the vegetarian-spinach, mushrooms, red onions, and tomatoes.  It comes with zucchini and artichoke hearts, but I don't touch those two vegetables.  I should have put jalapenos on the pizza, since it would be the same price. Anyways, the pizza was very good!  Better than the other three national chains!  The sauce was great!  Not overpowering, but well seasoned and plenty of flavor.  The veggies were all fresh.  The crust was perfect!  Thin crust, a very good texture, not too crispy or burnt.

Service is good.  The people are friendly and the guy, gave me a parking pass for free and I didn't see anybody checking for parking in the 45 minutes that I was there!

I would go back to Innovation Brew Works again, EXCEPT for the parking situation!  On weekends I would have no problems going.  But during the week I would have second thoughts!
