Two Boots Pizza

Jeffe told us there was a new pizza place next door to the Echo so we decided to go yesterday for lunch. Two Boots Pizza, 1818 Sunset Blvd, Echo Park CA 213-413-2668, is a chain from NY, so right off the bat the expectation is pretty high. The few times I've had pizza in NY, they have been amazing. I especially like the relationship of the thin crust/bed with the tomato sauce. It doesn't get soggy but it's sort of chewy-like and for some reason, I've never had that sensation in a LA pizza. So we ordered the Mr. Pink, marinated chicken, plum tomatoes, fresh garlic and mozzarella. This was our favorite. This is an excellent pizza. The Cleopatra Jones, sweet Italian sausage, roasted peppers, onions and mozzarella was overcooked. The bread was hard like an osembe. The people are very cool but what I liked about this place the most was the artwork. Very cool paintings ala Wacko. BTW, great record shop next door, Origami Records. It's worth a little visit after the pizza. I picked up a Song Bird by Willie Nelson and a little ep by Melt Banana.
