I just realized we don’t have a topic devoted to pizza by the slice.
I’ve raved before about the slices at Gjelina Takeaway in the case at the end of the counter. They’re pricey but probably the best slices I’ve had in LA. Here’s a pic of the guanciale slice and the blanco slice.
Mid-priced slice is available at Abbot’s Pizza up the block. They usually have 8-10 varieties of slices available. Mushroom pizza is still solid. Salad pizza evokes SoCal - haters gonna hate but bread and salad is standard. This slice gets it all in each bite.
They do a special of two slices and a sod a for 7 or 8 bucks
Do yourself a favor and try the tomato pie slice. It’s a wonder of textures. Crispy bottom, tender top, and a chewy midsection where the sauce has seeped in to the dough.
I love the GTA slices, but sometimes you (or at least I) just want a basic pepperoni or bbq chicken slice, and for that my go-to in the neighborhood is also Abbot’s Pizza. And maybe this belongs in the FTC confessions thread, but I’m also a fan of the slices at the Venice Whole Foods. They’re big (one slice plus a side salad is plenty for me), with good quality ingredients and a bready but not too bready crust, and cheap - $3.50 each or two for $6 I believe.
i hate Abbots…TOO Thick! tomato pie, never again after being offered ranch dressing and a bbq chicken slice…ugh!..i would go for a slice at Gelson’s before either of those 2…My fave still Vito’s for slices though i havent tried the Gjelina to go which looks real good!
To each his or her own, then. I happen to like bready pizza if it’s good bread. And since Abbot’s thing is the bagel crust, I guess breadiness is a given.
I’m a cretin - I will eat just about any type of pizza as long as it tastes good to me. As for too bready? Sambal belacan on pizza - especially bready ones - so good.
