Editorial Review for Abbot's Pizza – by Shana BatSheva Vaknin
The Scene
Groovy music jams in the background while customers happily step into block-long lines. Waiflike patrons can squeeze into a stool at the narrow metal counter but most just amuse themselves looking at the "desperately seeking" notices taped on the wall.
The Food
The mouthwatering, bagel-like crust is positively addictive. Surprising combinations like the Popeye's chicken pizza (with tequila- and lime-marinated chicken) transform a cheap lunch into a great meal. The best pie is the wild mushroom pizza, with four different mushrooms, and an olive pesto sauce base. Side dishes also entice: The Caesar salad, dressed up in fresh dressing, is quite tasty.

We just had a lunch delivery of about 5 pizzas from Abbots this Wednesday for lunch and I gotta say the quality of pizza has gone down a bit. We ordered a cheese bomb, wild mushroom, five onion, barbecue chicken and a meat eaters pizza. Cheese bomb seemed to have much smaller bombs on it, less cheesy. The barbecue chicken pizza was utterly crapola. Someone just drew circles on the pizza with some generic, tasteless bbq sauce and sprinkled some minuscule pieces of chicken on it. The wild mushroom and five onion pizzas were surprisingly good, nice and hearty with the mushroom combination and definitely not overwhelmingly oniony with the 5 onion pizza. The meat eaters pizza seemed pretty standard, could have had bigger pieces of meat. Overall it's a nice change from the other big commercialized pizza joints, but unfortunately quality has gone down since last I've had pizza from them.
Pros: Nice change of pace pizza combinations
Cons: Less quality ingredients, great concept not so good excecution

I am a pastry chef on Abbot kinney. (wwwbigcitycakes.) When I have a long day, I love my two pieces of Bianca. Some times for my friends I have them deliver from the 2nd locaton on pico ( cross the sreet from santa monica collage. Their staff is friendlier. Abbot kinney and California location is my kind of place. So far I have not found any pizza this damn good!!!I just got back from NY. I had some pizza was really heavy crust was very thick. I personally love thin crust. Just like Abbots pizza. Good luck !guys. Keep up with your great attitude and (crust) consistancy for ever..
Pros: Thumbs up
