ikr? no wonder we can't win a dang football game..... and i didn't see in that description any mention of scamozza. prolly replaced with chunky blue cheese dressing. and i wonder if the dough was that recent cauliflower hooey stuff.
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but the Salad Pizza at Abbot’s Pizza in Abbot Kinney (Venice Beach) is great. Nothing like apizza, but really good food, whatever you want to call it. They use bagel dough for their crust, and we got a salad pie with everything bagel crust.
Salad pizza is the most LA pizza ever
Abbot's Pizza in Venice, CA serves a pizza loaded with salad. The unusual take on classic pizza keeps people coming back for more. Would you try it?www.insider.com
Have you tried it? I‘ve been there twice. That was the only repeat item on the second visit.
Oddly enough I’m not a “salad” pizza fan but my friends place Doma in Branford he’s told me one of their best selling pies is the edgy veggie (sauce, mozzarella, fresh spinach, peppers, mushrooms, tomato, garlic, evoo)I think I’ve mentioned this before, but the Salad Pizza at Abbot’s Pizza in Abbot Kinney (Venice Beach) is great.

It’s still in Mamaroneck… and the Sicilian slice is incomparable.
As someone who worked in Larchmont in the 80s and was a fairly regular Sal's customer, I find this news of them offering a salad pizza highly disturbing. I don't think you could've found a head of lettuce at Sal's back then.
I just find the concept incredibly stupid. Have a salad in a bowl with everything bagel croutons if you want. I can't imagine that would be any less tasty if you already like the ingredients. It's simply a dumb gimmick IMHO.
Gimmick or not, it works for me for a few reasons.
Bo and Fitz must be turning in the graves.
Although I eat a very wide variety of foods, I'm simple in that when I want pizza, I want something hot, red or white. And when I want salad, I'll eat it in a bowl.
I eat a lot of salad. Just had one for lunch today. I hate making them for the reasons I mentioned. One of my regular lunch spots has a very good salad bar where you point and tell them what you want and they make it for you. That's what I did today, and I always have them add a meatball or two on top (one today). Today's also had: baby arugula, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, banana peppers, raw broccoli, artichoke hearts, black olives, Kalamata olives, a hard boiled egg and half of an avocado. Red wine vinegar and olive oil. No freaking way am I taking the time to buy, store and prepare all that stuff for one or two lunch salads a week. Maybe once we are empty nesters and semi-retired, but I've gone through enough phases of trying to buy, store and prepare all the stuff and it just doesn't work for my lifestyle now.
So in other words - a 5000 calorie salad.
I'm guessing it's probably around 400 calories per slice, but they are large slices.
I recall you saying you don't cook. Too bad. I cook and what you describe is incredibly easy to both shop for and make. Just takes menu planning.

I cook, but not frequently. I started out working in restaurant kitchens when I was 15 and worked literally every position from the back of the house to the front of the house except head chef. I'm a decent cook and cooked a lot more when I lived alone in law school and was really tight on money, but I don't really like to cook and I don't like menu planning and shopping. I just like the sense of accomplishment when something turns out well; and of course I love eating.
They are turning in their graves saying I wish we had thought of that! All kidding aside, being Italian and growing up my mother always made her own pies and we always had salad with it. We would at times also put it on top of the pizza with whatever topping was on it. So really not as far fetch as some people might think. Love the tang of the salad and dressing with the pizza. The key is not to drown the salad with dressing just a little bit. TROPPO BUONO!
I frequently do the same when we have pizza at home and I want to finish off the salad on my plate. And we’ve been dipping the crusts in good balsamic vinaigrettes at least since we were doing it at Harry’s on Farmington Ave. in 1993.They are turning in their graves saying I wish we had thought of that!

That's awesome. Harry's still has very good pies.
Thank you for not dipping in ranch.
That, for me, is the other type of food.
