GOOD BUT COULD BE BETTER

by DavidDag at Citysearch

Good salads and soups, pizza is medicore and service is slow, a bit pricey for this type of food.

Watch your pie bake in a wood-fired oven at this national chain with global culinary influences.

In Short
Founded in Beverly Hills in 1985, these eateries with the trademark yellow, black and white color scheme have spread nationwide. The decor consists of simple wood and glass with roomy black leather booths. The thin-crust pizzas come with innovative toppings from Asia, Latin America and the Southwest; signature pizzas like the Original BBQ Chicken and Jamaican Jerk Chicken compete with old standbys like pepperoni and traditional cheese. Pastas, salads, soups and sandwiches round out the menu.

Yummy

by cheflark at Citysearch

The pizza is great. The crust is always soft and fresh - not greasy. I recommend the California club pizza, shrimp scampi pizza, and the hawiian. I love the appetizers, particularly the tortilla spring rolls. The service is also great. One time our pizza came before our appetizers, we were a little upset, but we didn't even have to say anything, they gave us our appetizer for free. That tells me they care about their customers and want them to return.

• Pros: Food, parking, next to the mall
• Cons: busy on weekends

Average pizza at a too high price

I have tried several times to "get it" why this would be on the best list. I suppose people think that anything California must be what the trendy west coasters like. If you want good pizza get it elsewhere.

• Pros: Great atmosphere
• Cons: Average pizza
