Mamma Mia from NY...

Few things are more wonderfully simple, yet fantastically romantic, as a lovely pizza and bottle of wine with the one you fancy. So the question begs, "Just where can you get New York pizza in LA?". Well, I think I have just the answer. I offer you, Mamma Mia Pizzeria.

New York style pizza that makes one want to dance their self silly through the streets of Italy. Perhaps that was a slight exaggeration, but I think you get the delicious point. With two locations, one on the Sunset Strip the other in Sherman Oaks, getting a taste of New York is just a stone's throw away. With the freshest ingredients, home made dough and more specialty pizza's than you can shake a stick at, it's no surprise to see Mamma Mia's packed at nearly any hour. Also, well worth a look are their pastas, salads and sandwiches. Personal favorites are the Chicken Picata with linguine in a white wine sauce, the Gnocci in delicious marinara and the Pannino Della Casa, their House Special Sandwich with Grilled Chicken, avocado and provolone cheese.

A frequent fan of their delivery, I do try to pop in every once in a while for a quick ello' to their Sunset locale, their staff always friendly and always eager. Not to miss is the coupon section on their website, filled with discounts for an added bonus. If you have an extra second, sign up for their Mamma Mia Pizzeria Club, for a slew of discounts and special offers. Also convenient is the ability to order on-line. Easy, affordable and bloody good.

One mustn't forget that perfect, yet affordable bottle of wine. Whereas the Opus One in your home cellar might be a bit over the top, I think you will find any selection of Bolla Wine, at $10 a bottle and available everywhere, a perfect companion to your New York moment.
