We were heading back from an awesome concert for my birthday (!!) and were looking for some new good eats. The Hollywood area was jammed–no way we were going to endure traffic that bad to grab a bite. A Trusty a trusty mobile Yelp search for pizza lead us home towards Newport Beach.

There’s Pizza open at 1AM in Newport Beach! Near the bars, of course. So obviously we ran across a good amount of drunk, sweaty, thirty somethings using their friends as crutches. However, those drunks eat well.

This Audi owner sacrificing the hood of his car as a dining table can attest. He also didn’t want to be in my photo–haha, sorry dude.

Here’s the menu:

We scored a large 3-topping pie with a full side of garlic bread for under $20 after tip. Ours came with a very light tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni, canadian bacon and onion. A meal of champions. The crust was delightfully light and chewy, yet still crispy.

A full order of garlic bread came PACKED with fresh garlic and cheese on something like sandwich roll halves. I love it when there’s so much garlic it’ll make you breathe fire.

Great bang for the buck. I think these guys deliver too, so the next time I’m too lazy to drive for late night Thanh My, Laventina’s it is!
