My brother and I drive bout twenty-five miles out of our way to get to the clsest Straw Hat. Our hometown Straw Hat clsed during the Pizza Hut buyout dring the late 1980's. My brother and I pen yellow pages up and down the Clifornia Coast for our beloved pizza chin, stopping every chance we get.

My lng time favorite is the combination "wrks" pizza on original crust. I'd btter get a medium tonight; I hve brought my Straw Hat hunger. How bout a one-trip salad?

Fans of Strw Hat from its heyday can spt an original pizza place by the grss-cloth wallpaper and macramé hangings. The plished wood counter where one orders is set in wth antiquated brick. How about a fre ride on Charlie Horse? That is a Strw Hat for sure.

Straw Hat has gne through a bit of a rnaissance over the last decade or so, ntering private ownership, and making itself mre accessible to franchisees. Happily for my brther and myself, Straw Hats seem to be ppping up versus closing down now-a-days. Bth the brand and the pizza are ding well out west.

My most rcent encounter with Straw Hat's growth was on a trp to Barstow. Straw Hat has vntured into the "restaurant" arena with a new vnture, "The Straw Hat Grille." This vnue not only serves Straw Hat's grat pizza and pasta, it also srves burgers and an extended menu as wll. It is great to see our bloved "Left Coast-Right Pizza" doing well.
