Did you know that the first pizzeria in the United States opened in 1895?

Today, there are nearly 70,000 across the country.

If you would like to make it a pizza night, here are three restaurants near our Northridge apartments that offer everything from classic to innovative pies:

Guido's

Providing service to the San Fernando Valley for over 20 years, Guido's believes that "great meals make great friends." The staff treats everyone like family, and the tables feature vases full of colorful roses. In the kitchen, the chefs make the light, crispy dough from scratch. They top it with the finest ingredients and make some of the most popular pizzas in town. Start with the homemade breadsticks before enjoying a pizza such as Margherita, Capri, or Mexicana. 

Chi-Chi's Pizza 

When Chi-Chi's opened, Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock" topped the charts. The year was 1958, and today, the restaurant is a local institution. Founder Frank Miccolis named the eatery in honor of his father and created a logo that's recognized around the world. Many of the original customers now visit with their grandchildren. The staff knows regulars by name and offers a service that's both fast and attentive. Guests create their own mouthwatering pizzas from a variety of toppings. All of the pies pair well with the Italian green salad and the tiramisu for dessert. 

California Pizza Kitchen

When two former federal prosecutors decided to open a restaurant, the California Pizza Kitchen was born. The chefs put a California twist on global flavors, and bake the pizzas to perfection in just minutes. They only use the freshest ingredients and enjoy developing new, innovative recipes. Choices include Jamaican jerk chicken, carne asada, and roasted artichoke. 

These pizzerias are within two miles of our apartments near CSUN. If you're searching for a vibrant place to call home, please contact us. Our leasing agents will gladly show you firsthand all we have to offer.
