I just ignore people when they mention "really good NYC-style pizza" in LA. Liars! You're all liars! LIARS! It's not. Leggo is right, homemade all the way.
Really, Damianos just closed? Damn. I'd go there after Cinefamily sometimes and go "well, I guess it's ok." Which is high praise! I guess it's back to freakwatching at Canters... over ludicrously over-priced pastrami sammiches!

I feel that pain, I really do. I think it's worse there because LA just doesn't get the concept of a pizza. I visited southern California around 1989, and got to see what they considered pizza...then it spread across the country through "California Pizza Kitchen" and similar offerings from Wolfgang Puck and the like. To each their own, but you can't put ham and swiss on a roll and call it a cheeseburger. A real pizza should never have pineapple, scrambled eggs, truffles, or pine nuts on top. I know, I'm very biased on that point.  |

I have a feeling if you ever asked him, he'd say "Domino's" or something.  |

Wait, shouldn't we all be arguing and stuff?
Mike Love is responsible for pineapple and pine nuts on pizza! His meddling in crust technology set back west coast pizzas 40 years!
"NYC-style pizza had a set end date... West Coast pizza satisfies millions of people year-round, it's only arty hipsters that whine about the Bisquik-y crust."

I often wondered what the dinner menu would look like at one of the Maharishi's TM events. I'm guessing it may have looked like the leaves and grass clippings I bag up every fall, with a few olives garnishing the plate. I don't even think about what their idea of a pizza would be. |

Mike should open a "Kokomo's Pizza" here in LA and show up them east coast snobs! The delivery kids will all wear Tommy Bahama shirts n caps and the line crew will be on a strictly enforced tiny-white-shorts only dress code! Oh, and Mike's lawyer's number will be printed on all receipts for potential complaints!
Just think of all the Kokomo related pizza combinations they could come up with??
I'm feeling really bad right now that the last time I had real pizza was almost 20 years ago!
At least you can't knock the Mexican food here in LA! It's an embarassment of riches here. Hell, The Ramones used to book commercial flights on a whim just to come get Los Tacos and then fly straight back!

What you know about the quality of Mexican food in LA, transfer to what I'm saying about Italian food in and around Philly. It's easy to get spoiled when you're surrounded by those doing it the right way, if not the best. Next time you head east, or near Philly, drop me a line and you'll have some of the best Italian food in the country. From pizza to pulled pork to any fresh pasta dishes to fresh mozzarella. On "Kokomo Pizza" I like the idea. Don't forget you'll need someone behind the counter to constantly adjust the microphones and headsets for the workers as they're taking the orders.  |

Brian should start "surf's up Pizza" where its a buffet with a bong at every table.
Each table is in a tent with music provided by a piano in a sandbox.

Their crown jewel would be "The Bruce Johnston Special" which would consist of every cheese known to man and lashings of ham.

Instead of booster seats the little kids will sit on milk crates, each one guaranteed to have been used on an actual Beach Boys vocal session. |

The place also needs an outdoor "Dennis Wilson Memorial patio" to take your date out to dinner and romance.

Thanks Goodness the tone of the thread has turned back to "make fun of Mike" - I was afraid the pizza tangent would derail us but thanks to Kokomo Pizza we are back on track.  |

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

Specialty of the house would be a jumbo size deep dish pizza with a full ribeye steak on each slice, simply called "The Brian" .... "Convention size urn of coffee included for only $1.99!"

Don't forget the "Stamos Salad" at Kokomo's. It's not technically a part of the menu, in fact you can't even order it or refuse it, but every time you buy a pizza the Stamos Salad shows up on your table.
