One of my favorite places is actually a chain of like five restaurants in Nor cal called Pizz'a Chicago. (it is one of reasons we even GO into downtown San Jose) Oh god I wish they were in LA!! The best pizza is the John Dillinger: Pesto sauce, roasted red pepeers, slivered almonds,fresh garlic and romano on a real DEEP dish pizza. It is SOOOOOO good.....
And two great places for BBQ (and I know I will get hell for this since I think I am, I think, the only one who lives in the San Fernando Valley on this board) is the Bear Pit in Mission Hills (They have a BBQ beef sandwich on thier own garlic toast and with their own brand bottled BBQ sauce...mmmmm...) and The Meat Locker in Thousand Oaks. (A place where you can't find close parking and the windows are so blackened with grease and smoke you KNOW it has to be good!!)
