Shownotes

Chef, Pizzaiolo and Restaurateur Chris Laramie of Fat Lip Pizza & Beer in Corona is participating at Pizza City Fest L.A. on Saturday, April 26th. We’ll meet him.

Chef Chris likes to think of his pizza as having the best of both worlds; the light, crunchy, thin base borrowed from New York street slices and the round puffy crusts typically seen on Neapolitan pies. The dough is the main focus.  Long, cold fermentation for 3-days makes a pizza crust that is ultimately more flavorful and easier to digest. After that the Fat Lip Pizza sauce is made in house and all other toppings are made from scratch including their wonderfully seasoned Italian sausage and two varieties of Ranch Dressing. Chef Chris also creates his own Hot Honey.

​“Fat Lip Pizza was originally conceived as a rolling Food Truck. In a previous life their little truck was a mobile USPS post office designed for getting mail in and out of disaster areas.  Decommissioned and baking in the sun in Palmdale, CA, Chef Chris saw the potential in her and lovingly turned her into a pizza truck over the course of the pandemic.  As we emerged from our houses and got back to normal the truck was frequently seen at wineries and breweries around Temecula.”  

​“Currently Fat Lip’s first brick and mortar shop is located at 420 N Main St. in Corona.  Artisan pizza is available by the slice or a whole pie.” Another attraction is the state-of-the-art self-serve beer wall with 20 taps featuring local craft breweries and wineries of distinction. It’s the guest’s choice of pour size from a taste to a full pour of 16 ounces.
