In Marina Del Rey there is a restaurant called Pasta Factory that has a pizza with shrimp, little clams in the shell, and red peppers on it. Very tasty! Also Alejo's on Lincoln blvd. does the same pizza.

Looking for Mexican Coke in/near West LA
They have it at BevMo in Van Nuys on Sepulveda Blvd.
BBQ King - Woodland Hills
I tried the Woodland Hills location of BBQ King over the weekend, and I ordered the sampler plate. While the tri tip was dry like others have mentioned, the pork ribs, chicken, and beef hot links were delicious. I would say that the hot links were quite possibly the best I've ever had.
Paper Wrapped Chicken
They have nice paper wrapped chicken at "Jin Jiang" on Santa Monica blvd. in WLA. It is sold as an appetizer and also comes as part of their PoPo Platter.
