For Earl “EP” Harden’s eighth birthday party, his mother made pizzas using a hamburger bun as the crust. Now, some 20 years later, the bun serves as the foundation of Harden’s “CPs,” the single-serving pizzas sold at Celebrity Pizza.
Harden opened Celebrity Pizza about six months ago in a space within a strip mall on Highland about a block south of Park. The mall is forgettable, if not downright unattractive, so stepping into the tiny but perfectly fashionable shop is a bit of a surprise. “I wanted the average person to walk in and say, ‘I wasn’t expecting this.’”
