Message: | I have never had Deep Dish Pizza while in Chicago, but have often listened to my-sister-in-law wax poetic about the pizza back home.
My husband and I do occassionally enjoy pizza from Georgio's on Ventura and Laurel Canyon Blvd. While the consistency of quality has varied some-no enough to actually complain-the pizza comes loaded with toppings, a rather nice sauce, and a more than adequate, sometimes very good, deep-style crust. The Buon Gusto is our favorite with pepperoni, onion, mushrooms and green pepper (we substitute the green pepper for olives). It's certainly not the best pie I've ever had, but better than most and certainly better than Pizza Hut or the like any day.
On Saturday, a friend told me he'd just tried Pagliacci on Coldwater Caynon and Moorpark. I'd driven by and wondered about it myself. He reported the pizza to be very attractive, healthier and satisfying. If you're looking for a greasy-cheesy experience, this apparently is not the place, but my friend did enjoy his pizza and would definitely return.
