Two Boots Pizzeria invades Echo Park

Two Boots Pizzeria is about to hit serious pay dirt. The popular funkified New York City pizza parlor chain is moving into the space directly next door to the Echo in Echo Park. The economy may be tanking, but the owners of Two Boots can rest assured that a weak dollar will not keep the skinny-jeaned crustache set from late-night pizza binging.

The store itself is still a work in progress. It features peppy colored-glass windows, Barbie Dream House-pink walls and a very cool L.A.-centric mural depicting winged pigs and guitars soaring above the dark silhouette of the Echo Park and Silver Lake hills.

On the menu you'll find heroes, calzones, salads, po' boys, Stromboli and serious Sicilian-style pizza with fancy toppings. Check back for more info on when it will open.

Also in the works for the two spaces next door to Two Boots, according to the contractor, are an ice cream parlor and a record shop.

Two Boots, 1814 W. Sunset Blvd., Echo Park.

two-boots was my favorite local pizza when I lived on 5th street in alphabet city NY. The had a pizza called "The Dude" (all their pizzas are named after venerable film characters...) that was out of this world and tied the whole room together. the "Mr. Pink" slaughtered my taste buds. the one I lived near had a video store and indie movie theater with consistently interesting screenings going on. hope they replicate that dimension, I think that'd thrive in this media ecology. demented pizza+dvds+proximity=divine synchronicity. too bad I'm not an echo shark... gonna have to make a pilgrimage nonetheless.... WHEN THEY OPENIN' A VENICE OUTLET?! god help abbot's pizza co.......

Two Boots is bound to be a hit in Echo Park.
NY artist nicolina johnson was right on target getting local LA artist ray vargas to work with her on the mural.

Phil Hartman was talking about opening his first West Coast outpost last November. Glad to see that he's finally making progress. Also, any place that features a flying pig on the wall is worth at least one visit.
