The dining options along El Segundo’s bustling Sepulveda corridor will expand today with the opening of Pizza Rev, a build-your-own pizza place.

Budget-minded diners will appreciate the concept: for around $8, you get a custom made pizza with unlimited toppings; follow this link to the menu.  The requisite sausage and pepperoni are available but fancier toppings are also included for no upcharge:  kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, capers, fennel, and many more.  Four sauces are available (olive oil, red sauce, white sauce, BBQ sauce) and can be mixed for additional combinations.

The end result is a fresh, gourmet pizza made to specification.  Salads are also on the menu.

Along with the pizza and salads, dessert pizzas are also made fresh.  First topped with frosting, the cinnamony crust is then drizzled with raspberry, chocolate, or caramel sauce.

Pizza Rev has also made quenching thirsts part of the fun.  For beverage service they’ve installed a Coca-Cola Freestyle, a touch screen soda fountain that features a couple dozen soda flavors.  Even after selecting a base soda, the machine provides different options for flavoring like adding vanilla flavor to your Mello Yello.  I added cherry-vanilla to my Coke Zero.

With so many new additions to the lunchtime and dinner options along Sepulveda, Pizza Rev is a good fit.  The neighboring eateries are popular, fast casual places but are more traditional in their fare: burgers, sandwiches, and Mexican food.  Pizza Rev will make for a good change of scene.
