Multiculti Socal mirrored in its pizza choices -- or, "For the world is flat and I have touched the mochi."
In the latest installment in the Eat-LA/Off-Ramp collaborative, Off-Ramp host John Rabe visits Strawberry Cones with Miles Clements to taste one of their weirdest pizzas. COME INSIDE for info on all the non-standard pizza joints Miles sampled for his LA Times Food section piece "Pizza Goes Global," and to find out why it's called "Strawberry Cones."
Strawberry Cones serves a few fairly normal pizzas, but according to Eat LA contributing editor Miles Clements, its claim to fame are the bamboo charcoal crusted Ninja Pizzas, which are topped with avocado and salmon; roe, mochi and mayo; or walnut and raisin.

According to the menu:

'The "Strawberry" is a delicate fruit. It can easily spoil and bruise even with the softest touch. The heart shaped strawberry represents the heart of our delicate customers. The word "cones" sounds familiar to a Japanese word for fortune. Our delivery brings you fortune.'
