I love to review food, and even though my taste buds are drawn to the complicated cuisine of upscale restaurants, I am still open to finding terrific versions of basic food, at all types of venues. One can find delicious quick bites at many casual pay-at-the-counter type food establishments…or dine in, at this cozy eatery in Playa Del Rey.

I was recently introduced to The Good Pizza. And as a New Yorker, I am especially particular about my pizza. My boyfriend had been raving about this place, so I decided to give it a try.

Although not a vegetarian, I love vegetables while still enjoying pepperoni on my pizza from time to time. While my boyfriend chose a few slices loaded with meat, l was drawn to a slice covered with artichoke hearts, spinach, and mushrooms.

Underneath the veggies, I found pepperoni – an added bonus. Very often pizzerias offer one or the other (meat or vegetables) on its pies…not a combination of both. I am assuming a true vegetarian would first confirm that the pizza was meat-free, but I was delighted by the topping variety. The pizza was easy to fold (important for us New Yorkers) and covered with a zesty tomato sauce. The crust was chewy with just enough crunch…delish!
