The Churchill


Place: The Churchill
Location: 8384 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, California 90048
Entrees: The Farmhouse Pizza & Okinawan Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Drink: Alegoria Malbec Wine
Price: $14.00 Pizza, $14.00 Gnocchi, & $19.00 Wine (Usually $38 - Tuesdays is half off bottles...all day)

The Pizza is topped with seasonal produce (sweet potato and kale), local cheese (feta), and farm eggs. There is no marinara sauce simply garlic olive oil. So its more like a flat bread than a pizza. I wasn't such a fan...it just tasted like something was missing...like marinara sauce :)

I also tried the sweet potato gnocchi. Came with butternut squash, forest mushrooms, pecorino cheese. Guess I was starving and forgot to take a picture of the dish. But you can kind of see the dish behind the pizza. Anywho, it was a nice light dish. I think the chef was on the show Top Chef. He takes your staple dishes and adds a "gourmet" twist to it. 

Now the wine was delicious! I would go back just for the wine. Now I'm no expert on wine so I won't go into details on the wine. All you need to know is 1/2 off bottles on Tuesdays...nuff said. The ambiance is nice, the vibe is chill, definitely a place to go to for drinks on a weeknight.
