Petros in Manhattan Beach

I love when my friends bring me to their favorite neighborhood restaurants. What a treat and honor it is, as if I am being introduced to a friend of theirs. This is how I arrived at Petros in Manhattan Beach. The authentic Greek fare is light, like I remember having in Greece, including the Fried Calamari served with the zesty lemon, garlic sauce drizzled over it.


The Spanakopita was crescent shaped with one side revealing many dense layers of phyllo, feta, spinach and green onions, an attractive presentation.


I was hesitant to order the Horiatiki Flatbread Pizza. It didn't sound great. I didn't think the flatbread would be appealing. It surprised me. The homemade crispy dough was not flat at all; it was light and airy. Vine ripe tomatoes topped it along with olives, avocado, onions, capers, oregano, feta and olive oil. I'm still thinking about that vegetarian pizza. Isn't is beautiful? This is a place I'll be returning to.

World's Largest Pizza Delivery

With the holidays just around the corner, many people are already party planning. Here's one way to make a big impact with a low budget : get a huge pizza that feeds 50-70 people delivered. That is sure to make a splash and keep costs to a minimum.

Pizzas this big really do exist. The largest deliverable pizza in the world measures 54" x 54", that's 2, 916 square inches. They charge $199 plus tax for a cheese pizza, $14.99 for each additional topping, and need 24 hours advance notice.

Big Mama's & Papa's Pizzeria has many locations throughout Los Angeles including West Hollywood, Hollywood, Downtown, Studio City and Glendale. They have a limited delivery area, so call to inquire. Also, I haven't tried their pizza so sample a smaller pie before ordering. They also have 36" pizzas available for delivery.
