Hey folks. I'm currently in LA, CA. Love it here. Love the sun,but moved from NYC a year ago and have yet to find comparable pizza. Anyone here know of any spots? how about excellent food spots in general.

We love the selection in Los Angeles. You can pretty much have anything you want. Ok...I admit the pizza does not compare with NY but still you have so many choices
