My bosses and I try to eat lunch together at least once a month, and our last time breaking bread involved cheese. Pizza, that is, and damn fine pizza at that. My office is in Westlake, which you would think would not come close to the description of culinary wasteland, but very nearly skirts the edge of that label. Luckily there are a few solid choices in locally owned deliciousness, including Marye’s Gourmet Pizza.
I had the Four Cheese pizza, which is a basic white pizza with olive oil, garlic, fontina, mozzarella, provolone and parmesan. I took a terrible photo, and dug in. I’m not kidding you when I say this was the absolute best cheese pizza I’ve eaten. You need to try this pizza. I’m going to have to go back for more, because I can’t stop thinking about this thin crust, garlicky, oozing with cheese pizza. So.damn.good!
This only drawback is that Marye’s can be a bit slow serving up the tasty, tasty creations. I suggest going early, to beat the crowds. Keep in mind that most restaurants send out an uninspired cheese pizza, kind of like a blank canvas, that makes you yearn for colorful toppings. At Marye’s this pizza is culinary art unto itself, and well worth the wait.
