PitFire Pizza is freshly opened in Mar Vista and I’m thrilled! I love the space and it just feels great being there. But it’s really all about the food, right? Well, I love that, too. It’s real food, not a plasticy chain delivering plasticy chain food. 
I’ve tried several of the pizzas: a plain cheese for the kids, the Big Sur, which has shrimp on top, and my favorite so far, the burrata pie, which has arugula on top. 
I’ve also tried a few pastas: spaghetti and meatballs, North Beach clam and bacon spaghetti, and a special papardelle with short ribs — which was really good. 
I ate there with friends the other night; Jenny (of MoveYouForward.com) had a special goat cheese, red pepper, sausage and mushroom pizza 
and Julia (of SafetyGraphicFun.com) had the chopped salad (sans meat) and the flatbread with ricotta as an appetizer.
All really tasty.
I got to meet the owner, Paul Hibler. 
He’s a great guy and he makes great food. My goal is to eat my way through the entire menu by the end of Spring. Wish me luck!
UPDATE: PitFire Pizza is located at 12924 Washington Blvd. 90066 (424) 835-4088.
Sounds yummy. Where are they located?
I goofed! Forgot to put their address in the post: They’re at 12924 Washington Blvd. 90066.
OMG! We went for a snack after school Friday and tried the Buratta. I was in heaven! So yummy I had to take my family and visiting friend on Saturday. The line was out the door but we patiently waited because it is that good! We were happily surprised when our pizzas arrived 10 short minutes after we ordered! Bravo PitFire! Delicious food, friendly staff, and quick service! What a great addition to the neighborhood. Glad we are within walking distance!
