My forever thought is, 'How do you open a restaurant that feels like it's been there for a long time?' And that was a lot of the feedback that we got on both of these when we opened, which was really cool

786 Degrees

Sun Valley

There's a lot to love about 786 Degrees - and pizza has very little to do with it.

All About the Bread

Fairfax · $$

It's crispy and crackly on the outside, soft on the inside and tastes even better when loaded up with ingredients such as meatballs, turkey or fresh mozzarella.

Closed10:00 AM – 2:15 PM, 5:00 – 10:00 PM

For 75 years, Beethoven Market was Mar Vista's neighborhood grocery store, and with it gone, said neighborhood feared the space would lose its soul.

Downtown Los Angeles · $$$

Closed5:00 – 11:00 PM

Perched in front of the grill and wood-burning oven, we were treated to pizza-tossing, bone marrow-roasting, tomahawk-grilling, and ribeye-searing all night long. It was a splendid performance.

Chi Spacca

Melrose · $$$$

Closed5:30 – 10:00 PM

Colby takes a bone-in pork loin and slow-cooks the meat in a wood-burning oven in a bath of milk and shallots, resulting in juicy slices of pork rimmed with melting fat, which get draped with fresh, aromatic sage.
Donna's
Neighborhood Italian With East Coast Flavor

Donna's

Echo Park · $$

Closed5:00 – 10:00 PM

The table you couldn't get is now the table you can sometimes get, and the fusilli alla vodka tastes just as good, the room hums just as loudly, and, yes, everyone was right about Donna's.

Despite its often flat Italian American food, dinner here feels undeniably good—as if you've sunken into a bathtub of warm marinara.

Italian Deli

Mario's Italian Deli

They cut their sub rolls in thirds lengthwise, so that there is a 'mezzanine' layer of bread in your sandwich between two layers of filling.

Never before had I been inspired to write about their pizza, which is fired in a brick oven using almond wood, producing bubbly bread-like pizza crusts.

Pizzeria Sei

Pico-Robertson · $$

Closed12:00 – 10:00 PM

The new kid in town, Pizzeria Sei is the place to go for Tokyo-style neo-Neapolitan pies, with featherweight pinched crusts that perfectly balance chewiness and char.
