Village Pizzeria   

What started in San Francisco in the early 1970's has now exploded in Los Angeles' quiet Larchmont neighborhood. Since 1996, this wedge of New York-style pizza heaven has pleased lovers of the giant thin crust slice, providing super fresh toppings and homemade sausage and meatballs. The handful of well-worn red tables that spill out onto the front sidewalk offer a somewhat quiet respite from the absolute chaos held inside, where harried servers scramble past walls littered with ancient newspaper clippings and the pizzeria's multitude of awards. The hustle and bustle is just a small price to pay for such delicious pie.
