The Best Pizza In SWLA
We all ate a lot of takeout and delivery last year, but I have to say I m surprised at what we ordered the most.
According to a new study, the most popular type of takeout and delivery food in the U.S. last year was Chinese. Worldwide, the most popular option was pizza, but in the U.S., that was second.
I like Chinese food a lot, but I must say I have a special place in my heart for pizza. I am half Italian by the way, so pizza sauce is in my blood. I thought I would find out where SWLA gets their pizza fix. But before we do that, let s review my favorite local pizza parlors.
