Abbot's Pizza Company, Venice

The Zagat Survey and L.A. Weekly have both dubbed this place the "best pizza" joint of West LA. If that doesn't convince prospective pizza-lovers, then perhaps one of their ultimate gourmet pies with bagel-dough crust will do the trick. For picky eaters, the option of choosing a sauce and topping is available; pick alfredo sauce and tequila lime marinated chicken, for example, or olive pesto sauce with mushrooms. The Salad Pizza and Breakfast Pizza are local favorites. The place itself is small yet decorated, with beach themes that remind customers of Venice! Call ahead for more information.
