It's 800 Degrees Inside! And Soooo Good!

Their website says that they're opening a new location in Santa Monica soon!

We had a family day at Dad's work today.  For us, that means a trip up to Westwood for lunch.  It was a very average visit.  That is, until I saw the restaurant!  You see we ate at 800 Degrees.

800 Degrees is this authentic Italian restaurant in Westwood with the most AMAZING pizza and the most FABULOUS presentation (you get to watch all the fun, from the artistic Dough Dance (as the preparers punch and flatten, roll and shape the dough) to the Pizza Slide as the pizza is placed into the 800 degree oven.  I had to bring out my camera to click away at the pizza making scene that was playing out in front of me, over and over again.

But before my attention turned to the pizza, I was clicking away at the decor.  High, high ceilings with copper panels (I think), elaborate wooden pillar tops and the most elegant crystal chandelier that would fit right in at the Queen's Ballroom.  800 Degrees is housed in what was a 1920s Ralph's grocery store. (Ralph's existed in the 1920's?)

I enjoyed the pizza, you get to enjoy the photos of the restaurant and pizza making action.

We stopped at Diddy Reese's for cookie desserts and Bel Air Camera for a new camera, so I took photos of those also!

And if I haven't asked you about it today.
