@El Chavo! I never thought about it…wasn’t trying NOT to mention Boyle Heights, just thought to put a major landmark so people would have an idea where we are.

@Louise I respectfully disagree…NO ONE beats MY crust! ;) (it’s true though)

@Pepsi Monster: I like the crust better at That’s Amore. I like a thin crust, but it was too thin at Purgatory. I also think the vegan cheese at That’s Amore is better because when it gets cold, it doesn’t have that weird plasticky texture. I had some re-heated leftover pizza from That’s Amore a few days ago and it sounds crazy, but the vegan cheese got even better!

Wow! Louise, you still think That’s Amore is a better vegan pizza? OK, I might have to hit Cerritos again to check that out.

I’m sort of glad DTLA has a vegan pizza place. I would have never suspected they would have that down there. It’s good to know!

@FoodGPS, I didn’t mean the whole pizza was vegan, but the half that didn’t have sausage was vegan. I think the vegan cheese they use is Teese Cheese, which is made from soy.

@El Chavo! Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend the people of the neighborhood. What I meant by strange was that there weren’t any other open restaurants or stores that looked opened on that block so it didn’t look like they’d get any foot traffic. But I guess they do some good delivery business.

I like the cheese pizza, it’s pretty good. But I have to respectfully disagree with your assessment that it’s “located in kind of a strange place.” It’s not “on the outskirts of the main part of downtown LA”, it’s in Boyle Heights, one of the neighborhoods on the Eastside, and home to many people. Why PP doesn’t mention where they are is a subject beyond this post, but just because people ignore us, it doesn’t mean we don’t exist. Saludos!

Vegan pizza with sausage? Good one. What exactly is “vegan cheese?” Also, nice pizza photo.

“I’m not a professor of New York Pizza or anything…” I love it!! People certainly can get really militant & regional about what constitutes a decent pizza!
