Who:   For those willing to make reservations a month in advance for pizza.
What:   For decades, out of state-ers (i.e. east coasters)complained that one can't get a decent slice of pizza, uh sorry, slice of pie, outside of the tri-state area. Now, we're to get excited about a fennel sausage, panna, red onion and scallion pizza? Sounds very Californian, and delicious.
Why:   The trifecta of Nancy Silverton, Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich.
