| - Despite the fact that WithOut Papers abbreviated is a racial slur, I really liked this place.
Discussing with my friend where we should go for dinner, as we had decided to step outside our normal neighborhood, we began playing with the idea of going to Inglewood and Without Papers came up.
"The poor man's Una," said my friend.
This sealed the deal and our plans were set.
Our group of 5 showed up around 7:15 on a Friday, the place was busy. They don't take dinner resos, but they are now starting to accept a limited number for lunch. I could see a bunch of other parties standing around waiting for tables and I started to get nervous. I was on the verge of being hangry, and the fact we had a party of 5 would mean we wouldn't eat until 9:00 pm. The host approached and told us it would be 15 mins and asked if that was ok.
I thought he said an hour and 15.
My friend assured me he said 15 mins and my jaw hung slackly open, she was right this wasn't Una, we were not on the heart on 17th ave and were not going to have to go kill time for 2 hours until a table became available. We moved off to the side to not intrude on those seated near the stairs. I started to take in the atmosphere, I had frequented this space when it was Nectar, and though I longed for those comfy armchairs, the setup with the banquets is lovely. They had basically a baby boomers dream concert being projected on both brick walls, as we waited we were treated to the songs of the Pips, Rolling Stones, James Brown, from their prime in black & white.
We waited about 15 mins and the parties ahead of us were seated, but the host came over and asked us if we would like to order drinks, the beer came and the rest of the wait (maybe another 10) zipped by quickly and were soon seated.
Our waitress came over promptly, and was very friendly. We were hungry, so we ordered the assorted cheese and meat plate to tide us over while we made final deliberations on which pizzas to share.
We decided on the Hutch, Parma, Four Cheese and Shroom. and then boom our meat plate was there, with lots of lovely pizza bread and housemade jam for dipping. The jam was the star, one of my friends ended up buying a jar of it ($15), it rotates frequently, we had plum jam. I wish there had been a bit more cheese, but this plate would have been ideal with 4 of us sharing rather than 5.
Soon the pizzas arrived and all were very good. If I had to rank them in order it would be:
parma
four cheese
shroom
hutch
The hutch was almost a little too spicy for me, I feared having heartburn half way through, but still enjoyed it. All the others were amazing, great pizza dough and flavours.
We will definitely be back, its a great atmosphere, excellent food and service!
