Back in this message, I mentioned that friends of mine in Los Angeles were happy to hear that Vito's Pizza, which was once down on Vermont across from L.A. City College, has reopened on La Cienega in West Hollywood. I also said I was going to try it after April 1 and the disappearance of Creamy Tomato Soup at the Souplantation.
Well, yesterday I took Carolyn by for a couple of slices…my second visit, to be honest with you. I went once in March. The verdict? As good as ever. Vito has a little hole in the wall restaurant with fast food ambience…but he also has the best pizza in town. The pasta bologonese is pretty darn good, too. If you're looking for "New York style," here it is…Vito's Pizza.
Note: Vito makes great Italian food but he's not all that great on websites. His may not open in some browsers. If it doesn't open in yours, know that the address is 846 N. La Cienega Boulevard, situated between Melrose and Santa Monica Boulevard. It's in a little strip mall and it doesn't look like much. Here's a PDF file of his menu. By the way, if you do get the website to open, that's a picture of Vito himself in the apron.
I'm going to bed. Good night, Internet. I'll see you in the morning.
