Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Casual and charming for laid-back dates - grab pizza and walk to nearby Griffith Park or find a bench. Not ideal if you want table service ambiance, but perfect if you both appreciate authenticity over polish.
Can I get a table without a reservation? No tables - it's order-at-the-truck only. Call ahead to place your order, then pick up in 15-20 minutes. No reservations needed or accepted.
Is it kid-friendly? Very kid-friendly - casual outdoor setup, simple menu kids love, quick service. No high chairs or changing tables since it's a parking lot, but perfect for families who want quality pizza without fussy restaurant rules.
How does it compare to Pizzana or Massa? More authentic Neapolitan technique than most sit-down spots, comparable quality to Pizzana at half the price. You sacrifice ambiance and cocktails, but gain genuine wood-fired craft and Italian soul.
What if it's cold or rainy? Takeout only - bring your pizza home or eat in your car. No covered seating area, so weather matters. Check their Instagram for closures on rainy days.
Best For
Better for: Authentic Neapolitan technique, budget-conscious pizza lovers, casual grab-and-go situations, people who prioritize quality over atmosphere, late-night cravings after 9pm when most pizza spots are closed
Skip if: You want a sit-down dining experience, need indoor seating, require full bar/wine list, dining with large groups (6+), need guaranteed open hours (they occasionally close for private events)

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual 2nd-3rd dates - it's a parking lot food truck, so works if you're grabbing pizza before an activity or keeping things low-key and fun. Not ideal if you want table service ambiance.
Can I get a table without a reservation? No tables - this is takeout only from a food truck. Order at the window, grab your pizza, and enjoy nearby or take it to go. Perfect for spontaneous cravings.
Is it kid-friendly? Very kid-friendly - casual outdoor setup, pizza always works for kids, and the late hours mean families can grab dinner after evening activities. Just keep an eye on them in the parking lot.
Do they deliver? No delivery - food truck operation is pickup only. Cash only payment, so come prepared.
How late are they open? Late-night hours are their specialty - often serving until midnight or later on weekends, making them a go-to for post-bar or after-event pizza cravings.
