The Goop-ification of Los Angeles continues: Gwyneth Paltrow’s ghost kitchen empire is expanding with a new gluten-free pizza and pasta operation called Goop Superfina, now available for delivery or pickup in Studio City and launching in Santa Monica on August 31. Goop Superfina joins its brethren Goop Kitchen, known for its salads and bowls, and Goop Rotisserie, which offers rotisserie chicken and elevated side dishes. Like the two concepts that came before it, Superfina is headed up on the culinary side by Per Se and the Restaurant at Meadowood alum Kim Floresca.

Goop Superfina’s menu offers 12-by-12-inch square thin-crust, crisp-bottomed pizzas made from a fermented, sugar-free rice-flour dough. The square shape, Floresca explains, is intended to maximize the space in a pizza delivery box. Pies include the Pepperoni Potts (made with Zoe’s Pepperoni; Marvel fans will get the pun), Kale-ifornia Love (topped with turkey sausage, braised kale, spicy Calabrian chili tomato sauce, fior di latte, and parmesan), the cheese-free Naked Pie, and the vegetable-laden Living on the Veg. Dipping options include a dairy-free ranch, GCC (“Goop Certified Clean”*) chili oil shallot crunch, and marinara sauce.

There are a couple of kids’ pies, including the no-fuss Cheese & Thank You, rice flour pasta options like penne with GP’s (that would be Gwyneth Paltrow) turkey Bolognese, sides including garlicky broccolini, and a few salads, like a kale slaw and a little gem caesar. Floresca clarifies that while all of the menu options are gluten-free, they are not considered celiac-friendly, so those with celiac disease should take note.

what's your orange eating technique? do you peel the whole thing first with your hands then break apart? cut apart? cut it up into slices then individually peel each slice?

Ate a bunch of sour patch kids at the movies and burned the shit out of my tongue with the powder as usual. All part of the experience.
