La times 2004 dining guide

Forget the mass-market pizzas dripping with cheese. Cheebo in Hollywood has come up with a winning formula: a great billowy crust with the flavor built in, and a choice of inspired toppings (try the fresh sausage and fennel or the vegetarian with goat cheese, artichokes and olives). This boho-Hollywood café is tremendously kid-friendly, with butcher paper-covered tables and crayons. In addition to the pizzas, there is house-made ravioli, rustic soups, the Cheebo Chop salad and a terrific “porkwich” made from slow-roasted organic pork. For dessert, it’s “Da bomb,” a soufflé that oozes chocolate like lava.
