Triple Beam Pizza - Santa Monica

Can't commit to an entire pie? Triple Beam is the place to go. Order your custom, craft pizza in quarters, each with of three "beams” of Roman style pizza. 


That crust is a Nancy Silverton signature, and it is incomparable. It finishes with an impossibly crispy crunch while the topping side retains a doughy chew. The toppings…The toppings are alright. 


The Pineapple, Prosciutto and Jalapeno is *chef’s kiss, a beautiful balance between salt, sweet, and heat. 


Roasted Mushroom and Shallot looks so good, with towering fungi and gorgeous purple rings, but the shallots are tough and the cheese is overpowering, a bit too creamy to let the mushrooms come through. 


Roasted Fennel & Sausage with Goat Cheese is better balanced, with fragrant fennel complementing the sausage and just a bit of cheese smooth out the texture. This one is exactly what you’d expect when someone says “gourmet pizza”. 

Fantastic crust, pretty good toppings. Not my favorite pizza place so far but it’s all good fun and I’d always be up for more.
