Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Skip for romantic first dates - it's counter service with communal seating. Great for casual hangouts or late-night post-date stops though.
Can I get a table without a reservation? No reservations needed - it's grab-and-go counter service. Just order at the front and find a spot at the high-tops or take it outside.
Is it kid-friendly? During day hours yes, but evening crowd gets rowdy. Stick to lunch/early dinner if bringing kids under 12.
Best For
Better for: Late night cravings when you want real NYC-style pizza - crispier crust and better sauce than most LA pizza spots
Skip if: You want full restaurant service, romantic ambiance, or extensive menu options beyond pizza

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Great for casual first dates - trendy but not intimidating, shareable food creates conversation, and the Sunset Strip location offers post-dinner options

Is it kid-friendly? Very kid-friendly with high chairs available and a kids menu, though the Sunset Strip location skews slightly older in the evening crowd
Best For
Better for: Most authentic NYC-style pizza in LA with superior ingredients and family heritage - beats chain competitors on quality and craftsmanship
Skip if: You want budget pizza under $20 per person, need extensive non-pizza menu options, or prefer thin-crust California-style over thick Sicilian
