Guidebook for Pasadena
Food Scene
I've eaten pizzas all over the world — Zelo's pizza is the only one I crave on a regular basis. It's a cornmeal crust, pan-style, topped with fresh, gourmet toppings. My favorite is the Wild Mushroom...but that one is only available occasionally as a special of the day. My kids love the pesto pizza and the sausage pizza.

Great breakfasts, great sandwiches, great bread. The lines can get long at lunchtime during the week, same with breakfast on the weekends. There are two locations not far from each other. We probably go to the one across from the Paseo Mall more.

Part museum and part botanical adventure. If it's a beautiful San Gabriel Valley day, this is the place to hang, meander, and enjoy a bite to eat. If you go to the Tea Room you'll likely need a reservation.
