800 Degrees
120 Wilshire Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90401
This 800 location is across the street from my office, so I am here basically every Monday and Friday for lunch. There is usually a huge line during lunchtime, especially if there is a good "instagram special" that day. Usually I get the same toppings as I would any other day (broccolini and mushrooms) but that is too boring to continue to blog about. I decided that I would have to start trying the instagram specials if I had any hopes of generating new and original content. I started following the 800 degrees instagram account, and started checking every day.
Today's pizza sounded like a good start for me, it still had one of my main toppings (broccolini) and the extra ingredients were still basic and healthy. It was also on the regular margherita pizza. When I saw it had smoked provolone, I worried that it would replace the pulled mozzarella. Luckily that is part of the standard margherita and was not replaced!
To get the instagram special, all you had to do is say "I'll have the Instagram special" to the pizzaiolo and they will take care of the rest. There are no substitutions or add-ons to the special, which is fair because the pizza is 50% off.
"instagram special, february 2, 2015"
"green" pizza with spinach and broccolini. I couldn't really taste the smoked provolone, but could definitely smell it.
Everything you need to know in one photo.
Overall the Instagram special is a really great deal, getting a quality Neapolitan pizza for $5 cannot be beat. However, any pickiness and you might be waiting a while for 800 to post a pizza of the day that suits your tastebuds.
