Triple Beam had been on my radar for quite awhile, but the trek from the Westside to Echo Park for pizza, while I've been known to travel to the depths of the earth for pizza, still always seemed a little daunting to me. So imagine my pleasure when a spot popped up in Santa Monica. I was already on Main St. for a little donut action at Holey Grail so I decided to get my steps in and saunter down to Triple Beam for lunch to round out my health conscious Saturday afternoon ( I kid, I kid).
There are about 4 tables inside, so definitely limited seating, but it seems to work. I really like the roman style and that I can order 1/4 of a pie and different flavors of each. I ordered 1/4 of the pepperoni and 1/4 of the pineapple prosciutto, and I loved them both. I really liked the thin, crunchy crust, and the ratio of toppings. I've had some thin crust pizzas that really compromise the cheesiness for thin crust and they've been disappointing.
When I opened my box for a pic the pizza was piping hot, steam coming out of the box.
I tried a slice of each immediately after letting it cool a bit because that is when pizza is the best, and it did not disappoint. Nice and cheesy. I ate the rest when I got home, and while it was still good, definitely not as good as straight out the oven. Things had obviously cooled down quite a bit. Perhaps a reheat was needed.
Nevertheless, this is a great, quick, pizza option.
Bonus: delicious thin crust pizza, with perfect ordering size options
Bogus: quality was a little bit compromised while cooling down on the drive home
