"Oh no, your weekend volleyball team just got obliterated by some friendly Australians in wrap-around sunglasses. Console yourself with pies from the best pizza shop in the South Bay. A short walk from the Hermosa boardwalk, takeout-friendly Redwood Pie bakes New York-ish pizzas with crisp edges and chewy centers in about 10 minutes flat. Our favorites are the Jersey Pie, which lets the tart and pulpy crushed tomato sauce shine, and the D-Fresh, a cheesy white pie that packs a spicy punch from pickled chilis and hot sausage. No slices, but if you're coming hungry from the sand, you'll probably have no trouble taking down an entire small (12-inch) pizza." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park
