800 Degrees

The Santa Monica outpost of this Neopolitan pizzeria (other locations include Westwood and LAX, with Pasadena and DTLA spots coming soon) lets you do pizza your way. Start by choosing a base for the pizza, then add toppings galore for $1 a piece. For those in a creative dry spell, speciality pies such as the piccante or tartufo can hopefully serve as a delicious remedy. Pair your pie with one of its many craft brews, or if you’re visiting for lunch, check out their soda machine that allows you to try different flavors from classic soda brands.
