Pizza: Fresh Brothers
The Fresh Brother brothers, Adam and Scott Goldberg.
This locally owned chain has taken off, going from one location in Manhattan Beach in 1985 to 10, with locations as far north as Westlake Village. The menu has broadened, too, and includes vegan snacks, meatball sliders and salads. The pizzas are available with deep dish, gluten-free, thin or “skinny” crust and 30 toppings, so if you can’t find something you like, then maybe you just don’t like pizza. — RF
