Waiting at the local mall the other day, actually waiting to have lunch with a client nearby, was feeling a might peckish and decided to have a pre-lunch slice. The food court option was Villa Pizza, an outlet of the nationwide brand chain, Villa Enterprises.
The origin of the pizza stems from a single outlet in NYC’s Times Square, and now they have over 200 locations in malls and airports across the country.

I was wandering around the San Fernando Valley the other day, looking for sustenance, when I spotted Jerry’s Pizzeria on Sherman Way. I found a parking place in the pack, and noted it was right next to a deli proclaiming they had “L.A.’s #1 sandwich.” Hmm, dilemma.
As I had a scheduled lunch date at a place the next day who also purported to have L.A.’s favorite sandwich, Jerry’s Pizzeria won out.
I used to live fairly close to this neighborhood, but had never been in Jerry’s before, even though they have apparently been around since the dawning of time.

Most people I speak to around Portland rave about Old Town Pizza. A simple look at the front page of their website reveals: “Something to Experience before You Die”; “Visited by the Tonight Show and Rachel Ray’s Tasty Travels“.
So what are my thoughts about Old Town Pizza in Portland? It’s a really nice building and space. Oh, and it’s a really nice building and space.
I went with their normal crust, which is kind of “Boboli-like” in nature; they now offer a “new thin crust” but it only comes in a smaller version. (what?).

Mrs. BurgerDogBoy has been suggesting I get to “Give Pizza A Chance“ since she read about it in Portland Monthly. Funny, I hadn’t tried it, I hit that food pod quite a bit. In the pic of the stand, you can see “Swamp Shack” next to it, some great Creole food, and next to that, “Tabor“, who makes an excellent schnitzelwich!
On to the pizza. I ambled by shortly before noon, and perused the pies on offer, the big rack has a stack of ‘em, with little handmade signs describing their toppings.
I went with a slice of their all meat pie, pepperoni, sausage, C-bacon. It’s a thin crust effort (tho they have deep dish as well), and they boast about their organic flour and locally sourced meats. A little sign out front says the pepperoni is now from Otto’s. Nice.
