Tomato Pie Pizza Joint Restaurant Review

: Many try, but few succeed in getting New York pizza right in Southern California. Former New Yorker Garrett Policastro is one who does, offering not only some of the best pies on the Eastside, but also citywide. Partly, it’s the crust---made with high-protein flour and filtered water---creating a thin NY-style pie offset with quality Wisconsin mozzarella and a pleasingly sweet, tangy tomato sauce. Locals are devoted to the signature pies, which include the "grandma," which marries crushed marinated tomatoes, mozzarella, Parmesan, shredded basil and enough fresh garlic to scare away vampires. Don’t be afraid to explore other Italian specialties like the stromboli, calzones, subs, salads and pastas; not least, the "tomato pie" itself, with fresh tomato sauce, is a gem. You’ll only find three tables inside, but a parking lot patio offers additional seating, if minimal atmosphere.
