Last night I was invited to a Media Preview at Pizza Rev, a “fast-casual artisanal pizza concept” opening on Ventura Boulevard today!

…and my video explaining it all!

Since I was with Sammy and Melanie, we got to share. They were outa the oven super fast!

Two off the menu – The Classic Margherita (added arugula)…

…and a Fennel Sausage on Gluten-free crust.

I customized mine – all vegan (they keep the Daiya cheese separated)

Olive Oil, Artichoke Hearts, Mushrooms, and Sundried Tomato toppings.

A slice of each…

…we were especially impressed with the taste/texture of the gluten-free crust – nice n chewy!

Another short wait on line to try more menu items

…a build-your-own salad…

…and a dessert pizza, made from a base of butter and cinnamon as the “sauce.”

Yeah, none of those veggies actually got consumed once I saw this!!!

I think I might have gone overboard – I got chocolate, raspberry, AND caramel sauces. Kinda wish there had been fresh fruit toppings…

…it was a lot of sugar, even for me…

…and yet, I still wound up eating most of it by myself.

Speaking of dessert, got GREAT news re: my friend Jenny who just had brain surgery on Tuesday – she’s already been released from the hospital!

Very cool concept. Pizza has been one meal I really miss as I’ve adapted my diet around sensitivities and allergies. I like the addition of vegan options (yayyy!!) and gluten-free crusts!
