That's right - we lined up for pizza because we knew it would move fast and it would be worth the wait. It is the genius idea from the good people at Umami Burger. Seriously, why didn't I think of this?
Once inside you stay in the line and place your order as though you were at a Chipotle or Subway. You choose the foundation for your pizza - bianca, margherita, or marinara. You build your pizza from there by using or embellishing their suggestions or creating your own!
800 Degrees is Neapolitan style pizza, which is meant to have a thin chewy crust devoured by knife and fork. I love a thin crust but prefer a little crunch so be sure to request extra crispy before it is sent off to the wood burning oven if that is your preference.

Other than being served fast, 800 Degrees has nothing in common with fast food. This gorgeous hunk of prosciutto perched in this sophisticated piece of equipment is proof!

About two minutes later... Margherita base, sopressata, Calabrian chilies. Multo Bueno!
Caponata and Pinenuts from the Burrata Bar

I just love a charred, blistered crust. Don't you?
I hope this post finds you all well and hopefully still my readers after my long and unexplained absence from the blogging world. First my back surgery and then - a burglary! My laptop was among the items stolen. This post is dedicated to my boyfriend - who missed my blog so much he generously replaced/upgraded my laptop!!! The world doesn't feel like as cold and uncaring when you have a good man in your life. Thank you RC.

Yikes. That's horrible that you had things stolen from you. But that pizza is making me hungry! I just might have to make the trek to LA just to go there
Your bf is really awesome. Why is the guy at the Burrata Bar blowing icey blue snot at the arrugala? Does that change the flavor? Can you get other colors of snot? What is your favorite color?
I have been wanting to try that place because I live in Brentwood nearby and heard it is amaze...
I, too, love a charred crust! Nom Nom.
Very cool post, I have meaning to try Umami Burger in SF, your post just reminded me to go there :)
