The intensely expanding restaurant scene in Downtown Los Angeles has offered little to the pizza lover. Soleto wellington hotel in new york city Trattoria & Pizza Bar with an approachable "non-chef driven" menu has been loudly serving generous happy hour tapas while quietly serving a well-crafted, very chef-driven, wellington hotel in new york city pizza.
Executive wellington hotel in new york city Chef Sascha Lyon plays it coy. But he knows his pizzas are superior to most Italian restaurants made evident when I discovered Peter Reinhart's American Pie is essentially mandatory reading in his kitchen.
The Skinny Pie ($11) is billed as the 'healthy' choice. Perhaps it skimps in fatty content, but there is no dearth of flavor. With a rich layer of ultra pulpy sauce, sweet roasted tomatoes, dollops of ricotta and a haphazard scribble of pesto, it's my favorite of the menu.
