So today is the day before I was born. I decided to treat myself to lunch at Spike from Top Chef Season 4's new pizza joint. It is called We, the Pizza, which I think is kind of a lame name but hey, I was willing to give it a shot. I went around 11:30 ish because I knew that line can go out the door during lunch time, so I proceeded with caution. Walked in.....and NO line! YES!!!! I already knew I was going to order the White Pizza and the Forest Shroomin' Pie. I also got a home-made pineapple soda which was garnished with cilantro...I know it sounds gross but it was absolutely delectable. I would go back just for the drink alone. Got the pizza after about a 5 minute wait. The slices were huge! They also provide you with red pepper flakes, oregano, Parmesan, and garlic. Each had its own little container so you could take your food to go and no flavors would mix.
I wish I could have shared a picture of my slices with you all but I ate that shit up so fast there was no time for a photo-op. I would say though, that although Spike is trying to go for New York Style pizza he falls a little short on the crust and the amount of sauce to cheese ratio. I actually enjoyed the crust because it was chewy and fluffy, but that's just me. I like crust, but I think he could have added a little extra to it. Maybe some garlic and salt? Regular cheese slice runs about $3 and every other slice is $4. So for me, two slices and one home-made soda = $12. It was totally worth it and I would most likely go there again but not during a rush. I think its best if you go early before the pizza sits out for long periods of time.
