Custom designed pizza is excellent. Alberto says it's the best pizza in Pasadena. ---- == Broad Cafe == Food isn't great, but they do burgers to order on the grill.

You can find VERY fresh raw fishes (tuna, salmon, and others) and some sushi plates for to-go. The people there are quite friendly with true Japanese hospitality. You can also ask the master to cut the fish into ''Sashimi'' or even to make sushi. I never had such soft and sweet slices of octopus. The best sushi/sashimi I(=KA) ever had in LA so far. They also have special Japanese cucumbers that are amazingly fresh. |
