Red West Pizza Lomita — Restaurant in Lomita

Red West, the younger of the two pizza joints of the same name being this one in Lomita -- with its big sister act a more high profile, architectural character and an important visual niche in the restaurant iconography of the older, larger port neighborhood of Wilmington, about 4 miles to the south east of Red West Lomita -- though both mark street addresses on legendary Pacific Coast Highway.

The food, perfectly balanced, thin crust, New York meets L.A. by way of the Italian Riviera fare, is thankfully uniform at both locations. But be warned of the Lomita spots only drawback: it's tiny and crowded. There's a great salad bar but the room given to stand and build your own salad is so narrow, many forgo the fresh fruit and vegetables and other toppings that beckon from your crowded, sometimes shared tables.

CUSTOMER BEWARE: don’t accidentally walk into the sushi place next door like I did. LOL! What a silly circumstance! So anyways. This is pretty good! The pizza is round like a circle which I would sure say is a plus. The breadsticks are in the shape of a bread, which I would say is also a plus. Nice music playing, it was Life Would Be A Dream or something I think from Cars, for a minute I felt like a car myself, probably a blue car because blue is my favorite color. LOL! The service was quick and the pizza came out hot n ready, like how little Caesar’s claims to be but little Caesar’s is just gross n weird. Also the floor was green and red like Christmas time! So anyways. Pretty good! I rate it a 52 out of 74, with 17 being the...
