Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—cheese pies, veggie toppings, and basic pasta options are available.
Vegan options: Limited—customization is possible but there is no dedicated vegan cheese or specialty items.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free crust; cross-contact is likely in this compact kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a first date unless you're going for a no-frills, ultra-casual vibe; it’s better suited for takeout or a quick, low-pressure meetup.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations are not part of the setup. Seating is limited, so most people opt for pickup or delivery instead.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for casual family meals; pizzas and wings work for most ages, though space is tight and there are no dedicated kid amenities.
Best For
Better for: Late-night, budget-friendly pies and wings with reliable delivery when pricier Melrose and WeHo spots are closed or too busy.
Skip if: You want chef-driven pizzas, a dine-in experience, or vegan/gluten-free specialty options—other neighborhood pizzerias offer more elevated menus.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the vibe you want is ultra-casual and spontaneous; this is more of a late-night slice stop than a date setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there are a few small tables, but seating is limited; most guests grab slices or take food to-go.
Is it kid-friendly? During daytime and early evening, yes—simple slices and fast service work well for families. After midnight, the bar crowd makes it less ideal for kids.
Best For
Better for: Late-night survival eating—open until 5 a.m., faster service, and cheaper slices than most competitors in 90046.
Skip if: You want ambiance, craft cocktails, or a sit-down dinner; choose a higher-end pizzeria or Italian spot instead.
