Win Two Passes to the Big Apple Barbecue Party

In 1978 when i was 10, my family of 5 along with 2 dogs set out in a van for New Mexico for a little vacation. Along the way there and back we stopped at (at least) 2 barbacue places that I can remeber - Lexington Barbacue and Arthur Bryants. Even at 10 yrs old I noticed the different regional styles of barbacue and I loved both places - that was my introduction to barbacue and I always look back!!

Joe's Pizza in Los Angeles

As a NYer living in Santa Monica I was very excited to have Joe's move in. The pizza was excellent in the beginning when he first opened but now the staff is getting lazy. Fresh mozzarella pie is going down in quality. it seems like they take the cheese out of the water bucket and throw it on the pie without draining. My last few orders of the fresh pie have had diluted sauce due to that. Also, the staff is less than pleasant. I was once given a pick up time frame of "30-55 minutes".... so do I leave my house to pick up your pizza in 25 mins or maybe in 45 mins?.... I think that's a ridiculous time frame for a pie - especially since they have no parking.... if the owner were there I know he wouldn't let that happen.

Yes, agreed, please go and report. I think you will be extremely extremely happy. And talk to Vito if he's there, he's a trip.

Ooohhhh that sounds like a challenge...ok LA Pizza Maven....can you get over to Vito's on La Cienega and give us your opinion on theirs? Is it truly everything Joe's is not??? I'd go myself...but I'm like...uh..3000 miles away...thanks!

As an Angeleno, completely concur that the Joe's slice is too cripsy and not flavorful enough. Vito's on La Cienega is genius and everything Joe's is not. Perfectly floppy/crispy, amazing flavors, amazing toppings. The best in LA (or tied with Mozza)

@L.A. Pizza Maven: I hear ya.

Not a great upskirt shot. I can't seem to see any charred blisters, and that tells me a lot about how authentic it is. Something is off !

From Slice

Well, except for Mozza which is a different breed of pizza, I still think Joe's is the best i've had in LA...Adam, it may have cracked slightly when i folded the slice but y'all need to understand there's no where in LA to get a decent slice so im grateful for any decent pizza i can get. I havent had a slice/pie in NY in 3 years so being able to pop over to Joe's in Santa Monica is a treat for me...Anyone want to fed-ex a pie or two from Patsy's or Pizza Napoletana , youre more than welcome.

Have to think of a better analogy than "holding a candle." Let's just say it wasn't close.
