Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Perfect for casual first dates - buzzy atmosphere takes pressure off, sharing pizzas breaks the ice, but skip peak weekend brunch when it's packed
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weekday lunches yes, but weekend brunch and dinners are brutal - try bar seating or off-peak times (2-5pm) for walk-ins
Is it kid-friendly? Very - high chairs available, kids love the pizza, and the energy level means crying babies won't stand out. Best before 7pm when it gets more scene-y
Best For
Better for: All-day dining flexibility and that perfect breakfast pizza you can't get anywhere else in Beverly Hills - plus better prices than Gjelina for similar quality
Skip if: You want authentic Neapolitan pizza (try Pizzana) or a quiet romantic dinner (too buzzy here)
