I love the questions at the bottom of the page, and my answers to them may not be totally accurate. But when it asks, "Is this good for Breakfast - Dessert?" Well My personal answer has to be, "Yes!" It's pizza ladies and gentlemen, and as we all know there are as many pizza variants as there are turtles holding up the earth.
So here's my personal story about Pizza, and Beach Pizza.
When I was a lad, on the cold Southern California mornings, each day I had a choice to make, go to school, or ditch out and head down to Newport Beach and go surfing. More often than not, I'd have to elect for Surfing, and by lunch time, all those calories spent not learning would have to be replaced.
So out on the Balboa Peninsula there had to be 4 pizza by the slice places, each of them serving the super thin and greasy slice for $1.50 which you could load with free parm and peppers till you could feel fire in each bite. As I matured more and started going down to Newport with my son years later I realized the pizza itself was wonderful as well when you weren't trying to live off the free cheese and peppers.
Needless to say, I was driving by Beach Pizza one day, contemplating on eating at the bar next door, or the subway or maybe just something from the deli counter at the grocery store. I had a quick thought that it'd be hilarious if it was the same So. Cal. slice I was used to.
In a way, I'm kinda glad it wasn't, because it's phenomenally better! It has all the decor and charm of a shoes-optional pizza by the slice boardwalk business, but the food is Excellent.
My pizza buying from Beach pizza goes like this:
Day one: Got a medium for lunch.
Day two: Everyone at work chips in for 3 larges out of jealousy (see day one)
Day three: Got 2 larges (less people working) and a medium to take home.
Day four: Pizza boxes are piled nearly chest deep in our break room. The word is out to our neighboring business who all come in for "just a slice"
Weeks later: I lie about going there now so I don't have to bring back more pizza than my car will carry! It's like being on heroin!
Ok, I exaggerated a bit at the end.
