| - I just happened to pass by here on my long drive back to LAX. I saw the sign which read "wood fired pizza". Thinking that this would mean that this place would have nice thin and crusty pizza, I drove in to get some for my drive.
Surprisingly, they sold the pizza by the slice. Most wood fired brick oven pizzas are sold by the mini-pie. I asked for a slice and the gentleman behind the counter took a slice off of the heating cabinet and gave it to me. I thought that was odd (I would have expected it to be placed into the oven to be heated). I picked up the slice and immediately felt the droop of it. The slice was just warm but more importantly, it was socking wet. I gave it back to the guy and asked him to put it into the oven and make it extra crispy. He did so and put it on a cookie sheet and put it into the oven. 3 minutes later he took it out of the oven and gave it back to me. Now the slice was hot but the same drooping mess.
WOOD FIRED pizza should be crispy on the bottom and the crust - not wet on the bottom, droopy and a doughy "crust". Normally, it should be thin and crispy and served fresh. This pizza is thick - like stuff I would get in a supermarket frozen department.
I also ordered with this slice a Gyro. I didn't think that gyros differed much from place to place but this was a semi-disaster too. Unlike the pizza slice, this was much dryer. There wasn't that much tsatziki yogurt sauce and more importantly, no lettuce at all. It had 2 half slices of Tomato, some onions and of course the lamb but it felt half full. Anywhere you go in LA and NY (where I'm from), Gyros are usually stuffed, lots of lettuce, tomato and yogurt sauce. This felt like an imitation gyro in my opinion.
I hate to leave negative reviews but this place I couldn't find anything good about it.
The place looked nice but unfortunately, the food was not.
