800° Gives Up The Ghost In Santa Monica

I’ve been hearing from startled readers who have noticed that one of the last local branches of former pizza darling 800° Woodfired Kitchen has been taken off life support at 120 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica.  Signs have been pulled down and the cavernous space has been gutted.  800° burst onto the scene a few years back wowing people with their innovative design-your-own assembly line approach using quality ingredients that produced a charred-crust pie that seemed like a revelation at the time.  I’ll keep my eye on the tricky address to see what may move in.
