One of the best little known secerts in Pizza has been around for many decades since 1963. The place is called
Ravenelli's and has been around for a very long time. Now while there are many places and many differening styles of pizzas out there including dread I dare say, frozen pizza and ones that you make yourself from scratch "Pizza Kits," there is none that stand out like Ravanelli's unique Pizzas. This is because it is in both the fresh home made dough as well as their sauce. They don't use a typical pasta or tomato based sauce, but rather have their own home made taste. It resembles a type cros of both typical pasta sauce mixed with a BBQ tinge even though it is not entirely a BBQ sauce. That mixed with fresh ingridients makes for a great pizza worth trying at least one time. The Pizzas are usually made in about twenty minutes and the small place maintains a very loyal following.
The small dining area has just a few tables and it isn't a tie and jacket dinner either, but more a casual experience. They also serve a home made spaghetti and meatballs, Lasagna, Ravanoli dinners as well as a nice antipasto salad and other salad types. Their sandwiches are also very good too. They include a very tasty and large Meatball sandwich, and other sandwiches like their Pastrami, Chicken Parmasan, Sausage, Submarine, Spicy Sub, Salami and other sandwiches too. Their deserts include authentic Italian Cookies, Tiramisu, Cheesecake, Cannoli and a very tasty Chocolate moussecake.
To find this place, go to Reseda Boulevard in the central valley and take that about hal a mile North of Roscoe Boulevard. Ravanelli's is on the right at 8456 Reseda Boulevard in Northridge California. They are just before the corner of Chase street and Reseda. If you want, there is more parking in the back.
Personally I have frequented this place for years and they all know me by my big black cowboy hat when I visit or talk of Nascar as I have been a major Jimmy Johnson fan and a DEJ fan for a very long time. You can call Ravanelli's at (818) 885-1710 and they do catering as well, so if you are having a party and want an Italian theme they would be unique and excellent. Anyhow, thanks for reading through this and good luck, hope to see you enjoying their pizzas and stuff.
