Hi, 29a Pizza from LA area (7)

I have c-l-o-e and the only word I can find to fill in the gaps is callose. I get the cal connection with LA area but cannot for the life of me work out any connection with pizza (I could eat one right now!) so can you enlighten me. It's also possible I've made a booboo on another clue somewhere.

calzone

Calzone is the folded over pizza that looks a bit like a pasty!

CAL(ifornia) ZONE

Hiya chiff and malone, thank you so much. Where have I been living? I've never heard of calzone. I like pizzas AND pasties and now I'm REALLY HUNGRY! Can't wait any longer... I'm off to the kitchen!! Bye for now!

Hi brackendale, thanks to you too!

Not an easy one this week, is it?

Help appreciated with the exact parsing for these....

14a. King, a tyrant, with no love for student (7) - LEARNER (Student)

16a. Winemaker's pet drink in Champagne? (7) - CHATEAU

25d. Notice youngster's lifting cloth (7) - BUCKRAM (Cloth) - I thought 'Youngster' could be 'BUCK', but that leaves 'RAM' for 'Notice' so I'm not sure.

14. The King is Lear, the 'tyrant' is Nero - 'with no love' means to drop the 'o', so Ner . Lear +Ner, learner, student.

25 D. It's Mark (notice) Cub (youngster), reversed ('lifting'). so Buc kram.

25d mark + cub (reversed/lifted)
