$ Pico Robertson Pizza
A late-night pizza counter on Pico that splits its audience down the middle—the garlic knots and oversized slices land well enough for post-midnight cravings at rock-bottom prices, but execution swings hard between visits. The 46% one-star rate against a 34% five-star rate tells the story: when it hits, it fills the cheap-late-night-slice role capably, but the misses are frequent enough that regulars learn to manage expectations rather than count on reliability.
