"We never totally bought into the philosophy of only doing one or two things, and doing them well. Then we ate pizza and princess cake at Quarter Sheets in Echo Park. This retro pizza parlor specializes in thick, pan-style pies and nostalgic desserts, both of which are responsible for lines forming before the place even opens. Ignore the urge to order takeout and have a sit-down meal in Quarter Sheets’ dining room, instead. It looks like somebody’s uncle’s basement—no singing fish on the wall, but there could be. Just don’t fall in love with any specific dishes. The menu gets overhauled with different pizzas every week. Each one we try somehow becomes our new favorite.
