Yep, we finally braved the lines (after a failed attempt Friday night) and got the pleasure of eating at Westwood’s new eatery 800 DEGREES PIZZA. OMG! OMG! Let me start by saying I don’t eat Pizza because my ass can’t handle it. Sadly, it has been relegated to the list of foods not to eat. But after reading articles about the new restaurant and it’s Subway like concept, I broke down. Vision of chewy crust, fresh cheese, and a smorgasboard of toppings danced in my mind. Some people calculate their cycle in order to get pregnant. Not I, mc fly! I time my cycle to when I am water bloated enough that a plate of pancakes, a scoop of icing, or a pizza pie won’t further destroy my weight. We arrive at 5:30 sharp at the pleasantly appointed restaurant. Imagine an assembly line where you create a bespoke pizza. You cruise along to a salad section and by the time you reach the cashier, the pizza is finished! It is cooked within seconds in a specially designed oven that heats up to 800 degrees. The coup d’etat was the touch pad massive soda machine, home to 20 soda flavors. The kids went bananas. My sails dipped slightly as they had not yet gotten their liquor license. Wouldn’t a glass of red been a yummy addition to my meal? Leave room for dessert as they have a fresh gelato bar. Salted caramel anyone? Hurry up Mr. 800 degrees, I can think of ten different locations that could really use you.
