California: Pizzeria Luigi

Next stop on my Southern California trip was a pizza joint that I saw a couple of years ago on an episode of Triple D (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives).  Sad I know, that it took me so long to finally visit the west coast but alas, I made it.  And boy was it worth it.  Pizzeria Luigi is not like the think crust pizza franchises I’m used to – and don’t get me wrong, everyone now and then I like a good Pizza Nova slice but the pizza at Pizzeria Luigi is tasty!  Typical flavours are available but the unique topping combinations and thin crust really make this pizza for me.  Normally, I hate pineapple on pizza (I can’t get my head around the sweetness of the pineapple mixed in with the salty pepperoni) but I’m glad I took the server’s recommendation to get the Spicy Kevo.  The hot jalapenos cut through the sweetness of the pineapple and combining it with mild taste of ricotta and salty pepperoni – it was delicious. Definitely worth the stop.
