Is there one Actually Good kosher restaurant in LA? We’ve got some Orthodox family members so we have to go to those restaurants every time they’re in town, and I don’t think I’ve been to one place that I would ever go out of my way to return to.

Ta-eem is good if you don’t mind casual.

I think Helen meant ta-eem? And I second that otherwise check out dr. Sandwich another more casual spot. Additionally Jeff’s kosher sandwich makes good sausages.

Is this a hot take? Idk.
QR code menus should stay forever.
(Obviously with the option of regular menus for people who don’t have smart phones.)

Joe’s Pizza in Santa Monica is the best NY slice in L.A. Just a smidgeon better than Pizza Wagon of Brooklyn (pepperoni chalices are overrated).
And know that business-wise, Joe’s Pizza SM is a stand-alone. In other words, it is NOT associated with the other (more mediocre) Joe’s Pizzas in various locations around town.

That’s some pretty good pizza. I always grabbed a slice when I am at 3rd St Promenade/SM Pier. I think it might get overlooked because of its touristy location.

Respectfully, I don’t think Joe’s is on Pizza Wagon’s level. The pizza doesn’t have the right level of chew and for me, the sauce is not as bright. Everyone’s taste on these things is different though.

I am not a Joe’s fan either. Pizza wagon, Prime Pizza, Superfine (haven’t had it since the pandemic and we have had some inconsistency reports here), Vito’s and Prince street all scratch that NYC itch for me better than Joe’s.

We talkin’ just the Santa Monica (Broadway) location Joe’s, right? Because I fully agree that all the other Joe’s locations are mediocre at best.

So uneven. Used to be the best in the city but latest reports all over the map.

I think it depends on where your pizza goals are. I am always looking for tasty, crisp crust and sauce. I think Joes has that. But for toppings, Pizza Wagon all the way. But yes, Joes in Santa Monica is one of the best bites you can have when in the area.

I haven’t tried Prime (!!) or Vito’s, but I would definitely add Danny Boy’s to this list for NYC style pizza. Their weekday-only hours make it a bit more difficult though.
