Stretch and I drop by the just-opened Stella Rosa Pizza Bar in Santa Monica to get the skinny on pairing pizza and red wine... and really, there's nothing skinny about it. Deliciously decadent is more like it. Also check out my interview with wine god Peter Birmingham at a Rioja wine tasting at Hatfields in Hollywood.

Here's what our pals at Urban Daddy had to say about Stella Rosa:

This isn’t the kind of place where you’ve got too many decisions to make. You came for pizza and wine, and you’ll get it—either at the 15-seat bar or at one of a handful of tables. We’d suggest settling in up front by the windows, since this is one of the few areas in town with actual foot traffic to liven things up. (“Nobody walks in LA... except on Main Street”: less catchy.)

And besides, they’ll bring the bar to you. They’ve got a roving wine cart here, so before your table is covered with crisp, hot, 12-inch pizzas topped with mushrooms, pepperoni and mozzarella and cooked quick at 650 degrees, you can start exploring a veritable wine country on wheels.

Your favorite kind of wine country.
