The tiny shop is located just around the corner from Pizzeria Mozza, with no seating and no room for it either. It’s a little place to get in and out of, with just a few shelves containing some of the finest ingredients for purchase so that you can make your own pizza next time!
With that being said, what else could the genius’ that have created this mini wonderland have up their sleeves? Why, a Hollywood Bowl picnic package of course! And there's nothing quite like a pizza picnic on a beautiful summer evening! Wendy and I had an awesome date night with our pizza picnic and some Norah Jones at the Bowl.
I ordered the Pizza alla Benno with speck, pineapple, jalapenos, mozzarella and tomato. It was a fascinating take on the Hawaiian pizza, and seeing as how I hate Hawaiian pizza, I am pleased to report that it was great! For me, this type of pie usually comes with chunks of pineapple that leave the cheese around it soggy and bits of bacon that just don’t seem to work with the rest of the dish. The Pizza alla Benno however, took the idea and brought it to a beautiful place.
On top of the quality crust, delicious tomato sauce and golden mozzarella cheese, ultra thin slices of pineapple were placed. Then, ultra thin slices of the juniper-flavored ham were put down as another layer on top of the pineapple. Last, or somewhere in between, ultra thin slices of jalapeño (a pattern has formed) were strategically placed around the pie to contrast the taste of the speck.
A delightfully light pizza it was. Wendy got her usual Bianca pizza and dinner/date night was a huge success.
Cowabunga!
