(Editor’s Note): I was contacted by the owners of a new place, Melody’s Pizza, near LAX in Los Angeles, a new venture for a couple that owns a hot night spot down the street, the Melody Bar and Grill. I was invited to come by, couldn’t make it, so Los Angeles Burger Bureau Chief Larry gathered… Continue reading Los Angeles, CA – Melody Pizza

Van Nuys, CA – Lido Pizza
Some little known facts about Mrs. Burgerdogboy: she was raised by gypsies in the San Fernando Valley; because her family were travelers, there was no pizza place that could deliver, and, when G’ma wasn’t baking up mounds of from scratch Neapolitan style pizzas, Lido Pizza in Van Nuys was the family’s preferred provider.

Los Angeles, CA – Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria
Big Mama’s & Papa’s is noted for (an empty claim) of the world’s largest pizza, a 36 incher they sell on their regular menu. Geez, I’d love to go for that, at least for the photo op. But what would I do with it then? Their description says it is cut into 50 slices. Here,… Continue reading Los Angeles, CA – Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria
