Pizza Vote
There’s a new website
for pizza lovers called PizzaShare that allows users to pick their favorite pizza joints in the area and share that news with others. The concept looks a lot like Sportsfanlive.com’s feature FanFinder, which allows users to find sports bars in their area where fellow fans gather to watch the game. I quickly searched Venice, Calif. and found a handful of listings, including Abbot’s Pizza, for which I cast my vote. It only allowed me to vote once for Abbot’s, which is probably good. Prevents gaming the system. Village Pizzeria seemed to have the most support in the LA area, but there were many pizzerias not yet in the website’s database. This may be a good thing, but some huge chains like Pizza Hut and California Pizza Kitchen were nowhere to be found. On the other hand, neither were many of the restaurants that serve delicious pizza, but are not specifically pizzerias, such as Gjelina in Venice, Riva in Santa Monica and Angeli Caffe in LA. Anyone can add a restaurant to the database, but without reviews, I’m not sure this site is as useful as Yelp. I suppose if enough people populate it, it could be another great resource. Especially if you’re out of town and jonesing for a decent slice. If you’re wondering who wins in New York, by the way, Mr. Bruno’s Pizza and Grimaldi are currently in the lead. – Jenny
So you like Abbot’s pizza over Pizzeria Mozza? Have not had Abbot’s. But every time I visit LA, I MUST eat pizza at Mozza. Mmmmm!
I love Mozza, but that’s for a night out. Abbot’s is my favorite local spot where you can just run in and grab a slice. It’s not a sit-down restaurant.
