""I grew up going to dine-in pizza places and loved it. All of my family memories growing up are going out to eat. I'm not trying to be anything other than what I ate growing up and still love to this day. ... [Mooney's] is warm, and nostalgic to no specific era.""
"Mooney's uses a combination of five flours for its pizzas, which come in two styles: the 'classic round,' a California-style, fluffy-crust variety available in 12 and 18 inches; and the 14-inch pan pizza, which arrives with a crispy layer of cheese at the edges."
"Toppings include classic options such as pepperoni or supreme, or cheffier ingredients like sausage and chard, eight-hour ragù, or the al pastor-inspired pie slathered with pineapple sauce."
"As a cicerone and the founder of beer-tour company LA Beer Hop, Mooney's path overlapped with the pizza community for years, leading to the development of a unique beverage menu."
