Restaurant: Brownstone Pizzeria
Location: 2108 Colorado Blvd (Eagle Rock)
Type of restaurant: Pizza
They stipulated: Weekday specials include two slices of cheese and a drink for $4.95, or two slices with topping and a drink for $5.95. We were set to get the specials -- but they're not offered on Saturday.
We stipulated: We had a big breakfast and were planning on having an early, so we wanted to have a simple, quick lunch. We were heading in Eagle Rock's direction, and we've been wanting to try Brownstone anyway.
What we ordered: Slice with mushrooms and a slice with meatballs, $2.95 each
High point: What a nice surprise -- the thin crust is a great, ultra thin consistency, and the slices a good size. Especially as a nice snack, it hit the spot.
Low point: Sad to discover that the weekday special wasn't available on the weekend. Service was also a bit surly. But perhaps that was part of the New York pizzeria experience.
Overall impression: Hmm, Eagle Rock can now lay claim to being one of L.A.'s pizza mecca, as it's home to both Brownstone and to our fave, Casa Bianca. Brownstone is a perfect addition to Eagle Rock's ever hipper Colorado Blvd., and offers up one of the best by-the-slice experiences I've had in L.A.
By the way, Colorado Wine Co. allows Brownstone customers to come in with their slices and enjoy it in their wine bar with a glass or two. That sounds like a future plan.
Chance we'll go back: Considering how often we're in the neighborhood, there's no doubt.
