Sidepie in Altadena last weekend, in their new space at the top of Altadena, which is just a pickup window across Lake from Bulgarini for now, but from their IG it looks like they’re getting some sort of patio set up.

Tomato sauce was really outstanding, super bright the way I prefer it. Crust was charred up nicely, but still thin and mild and a little droopy, I’d call it more classic Neapolitan than some of the puffy sourdough that we get around here. Toppings are good quality, and we liked the extra char - the crust was definitely not burned, even though there were some serious leopard spots. The Altadena was the winner by general consensus, but the Marg was good too.

Went to gra a couple weeks back. Very good but not in my upper echelon of pizza places. However, the salad, pizza, and natural wine menu along with the beautiful patio is great for a casual evening dinner. Highlight pizza was the banger, mushroom close second. Clam pizza was quite sad very few clams and drowned out by a cream sauce. One gripe was the whites were covered in kind of a creamy base that I felt detracted from the toppings. Salads were both refreshing.

Little coyote lbc. Great pizza on a more traditional crust with good chew kind of like a prime Pizza but I prefer this pie over prime, it was a lighter crust with better chew . The spinach pizza was the highlight.

The Italian sando was solid but was not better than my favs such as bay cities or uncle Paulies.

Lunch @ Jon & Vinny’s since I had a case of wine to pick up and they could seat me immediately (around 4:00). Excellent NY-ish mushroom. Beet salad was also excellent. Half the pizza leftover.

I hope the quality improves, too.

Rumor is that Chef Samson is back to making the pies himself…

That’s big news. If anybody is able to post a report that would be appreciated. When Superfine was humming it was as good as any pizza in the city. Right up there with Pizza Wagon and Little Coyote.

I’ll try and go within the week, for research purposes.

Thanks for your sacrifice. There are only 6 pies available - 2 being a plain cheese and pepperoni so hopefully paring down the menu will help with consistency.

Samson is making pies at Superfine?

Latest intel there is that he’s currently looking to hire or train someone. But until then, he’s the guy. (This was as of last month, so of course take this with a grain of salt.)

very interesting!

Ooh. I might need to do a Superfine pie tonight…

Does anyone else get pizza cravings? I don’t get cravings for other food. Only pizza. The cravings come about once a month.

Excellent choices. Maybe a little bit outta the way, but i know you are a beer lover. Sunset Beer is a great bottle shop in Echo Park. They have lots of craft brews from across the US available by the bottle.

Thanks they have a very nice selection. I don’t think I’ll have time but was thinking if I bring my kids iPads we could stop at Highland Park Brewery or the new Homage in Chinatown.

Excellent. Maybe go on a night when the Dodgers aren’t playing, as Chef Steve is a bigtime Doyers fan.
