Have to have pizza at least once a week:
In that SW Greek zone, but there is some new places popping up that aren't the greek casserole style pizza.
Old Faves
- Volos - Great greek pizza. Good sauce, not too much cinnamon like Sophies. They have secret personal pies if you pick up during the week that are perfect.
- Spiros - Used to love these thick cheesy pies but something has gone downhill, crusts burnt, and it you pick up it seems so run down and dingy that it makes you lose your appetite. Also unbelievably expensive.
- Bella Roma - Same as always greek style in Lakeview, new owners but recipe seems the same.
New(ish) ones
- Sinatras Pizzeria - Next to that cat hospital on 26th ave SW. Very new. Was really good. New York Style.
- Villages - I think this is a small chain but the crumbled bacon is awesome. Also sell slices which is handy.
- Bow Tie - Something in the sauce I didn't care for, very similar to Villages.
- Inglewood Pizza - Killarney Location. Always tastes like the dough is not fully cooked. Not a fan.
- Savino Pizzeria - This one is awesome. Traditional italian stone oven thin crust. Weird place. You have to find them on Instagram and he makes it in his pizza truck in the back of his house and you have to walk down the alley to pick it up in Glendale. Its stellar though. Guy grows his own herbs and everything made from scratch. No idea how his neighbors put up with the crowds, but who cares. One of those pizzas where you don't feel gross after eating it.
- Connie and Johns in the Blush Lane grocery - I can see why people like the new York Style but the free flowing grease on top grosses me out. Way too greasy and salty. Sauce maker probably a smoker.
Want to Try
- The Mash - New place in Marda Loop, supposed to be good using the used beer mash (which sounds gross to me), but curious. Anyone had it?
- Peak Pizza - New place where Jeanne's soapy pizza was forever. No idea if its any good.
Still the Best In the City*
- Il Centro - Terrible location located across from the clusterF that is Chinook Centre. Had forgotten about it and picked some up. Ate till I was grossed out, woke up at 3 in the morning craving it and finished it off.
