The aroma can drive you crazy. In a stone oven, Middle Eastern Bibi's bakes sambusak (Israeli-style calzone) and stuffed, sesame-encrusted pitas called toasties. Fillings run from feta with olives to mozzarella with marinara or grilled eggplant. This West L.A. bakery and café also makes great individual quiches, marvelous pizzas and Jerusalem bagels, the thin, savory circles sold by vendors outside the ancient city's walls.
