I was tooling around the San Fernando Valley the other day, looking for sustenance, when I spotted Jerry’s Pizzeria <\/a>on Sherman Way.\u00a0 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<\/a>.”\u00a0 Hmm, dilemma.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

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 won out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I used to live fairly close to this neighborhood, but had never been in Jerry’s before, even tho they have apparently been around since the dawning of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walking in through the back door, I was in a fairly large room with a lot of tables and chairs, a few video games, and amidst of local hangers-on who didn’t really seem to be customers or workers.\u00a0 Maybe neighborhood guys who stop by to have a beer and watch TV.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I went to the counter and ordered a 12″ pepperoni, sausage, with extra cheese, and was told it would be ready in the standard 15 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0 I walked down the street in search of a mini mart to pick up a few things, and gaze into the window of “LA’s #1 sandwich.”\u00a0 There was a line of people waiting for sandwich orders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Picked up the pie and headed back to the air conditioned deliciousness of my motel room.\u00a0 Opened the box and found a fairly nice looking pie crowding the box’s confines.\u00a0 A “New York style” thin crust, and I immediately noted they prepare the sausage in the same manner of most NY pie shops, thin sliced link Italian sliced on bias.\u00a0 The pepperoni gave off a little oily appearance, which indicates a higher fat content, and fat usually equals flavor. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheese was more than ample, and the pie appeared baked to my idea of perfection.\u00a0 A little char on a crispy crust, with chewiness sure to appear as you worked your way inward.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Picked up a slice, it had nice “hang”, but to my delight, the toppings stayed in place.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The crust was as I imagined, the sauce unobtrusive, and the cheese was real, not “pizza topping.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a good pie.\u00a0 Funny I missed it the times I lived in L.A.\u00a0 I shall return.<\/strong><\/p>\n
