Master Critic Review

Fiorelli Pizza 8.4
Beverly Grove
Fiorelli Pizza is a chef-driven brick-oven pizzeria from Michael Fiorelli and Liz Gutierrez blending New York and Neapolitan styles with California produce. Opened in November 2025, it focuses on a tight menu of carefully composed pies, seasonal small plates, and a cozy indoor-patio setup just off Joan’s on Third. It already feels like a neighborhood fixture for locals chasing thoughtful, modern pizza.
Must-Try Dishes: Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza, Brussel Sprout Pizza, White Pizza with Fennel Sausage

What makes it special: Chef-led brick-oven pizzas that fuse New York, Naples, and California.
Who should go: Couples and pizza nerds chasing new-school artisan pies.
When to visit: Early evenings for easier tables and a relaxed pace.
What to order: Brussel Sprout Pizza, fennel sausage white pie, lamb bolognese.
Insider tip: Pair your pie with a few hot dipping sauces like spicy ranch or black olive butter.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on 3rd Street and nearby residential blocks is the main option; it’s manageable before 6:30pm but can tighten quickly during peak dinner hours. No valet on-site.
Dress code: Smart casual. Most guests lean polished–jeans and a nice top are common, but many dress up slightly for date nights.
Noise level: Moderate. Indoor tables have a lively hum but still allow easy conversation; the patio is quieter and better for longer chats.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes for walk-ins between 6:30–8:00pm; earlier or later windows are easier.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, with most traffic arriving after 12:30pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Strong selection—several pizzas and seasonal starters are naturally vegetarian without feeling like afterthoughts.
Vegan options: Limited—most dishes rely on cheese; you may find one seasonal vegan starter but no dedicated vegan pies.
Gluten-free options: Gluten-free crust is available; the kitchen tries to minimize cross-contact, but it’s not a fully separate prep environment.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes. The cozy indoor-patio setup, shareable plates, and thoughtful wine list make it intimate without being overly formal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually, yes—especially if you arrive before 6:15pm or after 8:00pm. Peak walk-in times may require a short wait, but the hosts are used to neighborhood drop-ins.
Is it kid-friendly? It works for older kids who enjoy pizza and small plates, but the space is relatively tight and more geared toward adults; not ideal for strollers or toddlers.
Best For
Better for: Fiorelli excels in chef-driven, modern pies and seasonal small plates with a neighborhood feel—more inventive and intimate than many nearby pizzerias.
Consider Alternatives If: If you want classic, no-frills slices, large-group seating, or extensive menu variety, you may prefer a more traditional pizza spot.
