That’s disappointing to hear. I’ve only ordered from the SM location once (delivery to friends’ house in Brentwood) and the pizza was up to Prime standards. Pico in SM is our usual location and it’s consistently good.
The Gundo location is pretty consistent. My friend/roommate orders it at least twice a month. One time it was too crispy. That ranch sauce is not too be missed

$35 these days for a quality 8 slice pie is market price.
The local mom & pop wants $36 for a sub par 16” meat lovers.

Never had an issue with the Little Tokyo location, but now that El Segundo is open I go there regularly and it has been consistently great and convenient parking. The]at reminds me, still need to try that meatball sandwich.

Kuro Pizza in Costa Mesa. Anyone been? I talked to a guy who swears by them. They add some secret Japanese umami ingredients to the food.

Never heard of Kuro but sounds intriguing. Let us know how it is if you go.
It would be tough for me to not go to Folks across the street which now takes reservations on Yelp. Different styles maybe a bang bang opportunity.

MSG’s no secret. David Chang was talking about it on Netflix just the other day.

But don’t you add it through many ingredients including tomatoes and parmesan.
It’s the same as when you ready about nitrate free bacon and than in contains celery juice which is s “natural “ source for nitrates
Tomatoes and Reggiano are good sources of glutamates, but they add a lot of other flavors as well.
Danny boys the cheese and sausage were better than the prime the crust was not and this slice cost 6.50. Would eat again in area but definitely not a drive to eat place
