If I can do analysis only and not review sure haha that would be fun.
In pizza world thereās too much factors to say hey this pizza is good that pizza is bad.
Good review is this pizza place consistently delivered good pizza or have lot of off nights.
Your pizza recipe is awesome but somewhere you didnāt manage well it can become very okay pizza or even bad pizza.
Even with small details such as millions of micro detail on dough mixing part or dough management. Was it properly managed even though it was hot or cold day or busy or slow at certain time, or togo came like hurricane end up using perfectly proofed dough fast and all you have is cold under proofed dough, Did your employee opened fridge lot on dough walk in, was your herb taste same, did cheese came more aged or fresh or did sauce came out as good as usual or you followed every decimal percent but taste is not the same, did pizza chef stretched properly was did topper put out exact grams of toppings and distributed well, was it busy, oven temperature was right. Thereās millions of factors and all of these includes on consistency.
And not just the pizza making factors, it hugely depends on your mood and how hungry you were ācarb hungryā (imagine you didnāt eat carb for week on purpose and ate pizza while your hungry and tired)
That why I donāt like to judge and review on artisan pizzerias or who cares about their pizza because they all have capability of giving consumer mind blowing and life changing pizza if everything aligned. Just timing of pizza god kiss you when you dined in or eat that pizza.
I got as soggy as Neapolitan pizza at Lāindustries before and I got most amazing New York slice bite at Lāindustries at same location for example.
Also most importantly just like any other food youāre judging to your taste. Pizza has so much preference than any other food. Not everybody like New York style or Detroit or Neapolitan. Maybe you can judge by style but you canāt make New York slice person love Neapolitan pizza as much as New York slice.

How much is the chicken parm?
Went there late on Friday night, not much of a crowd left at 8:30pm, and we were the last ones there. Food was very good. I think the many menu changes and lack of any real social media marketing have affected their ability to retain customers, but hopefully that changes with some stability to the menu and lower prices overall. Four of us had a beer and tons of food, cost $70ish pp, which is not bad at all.

Leopardo was pretty busy last night at 8:30. The food was as good as ever. My favorite crudo in LA. My favorite pizza in LA. It seems like the best value restaurant in LA to me, but tastes and budgets are different.

yeah like i understand what I imagine skenes definition of casual to be. itās a fun definition to entertain.
i like being a regular at places. at the same time iād almost prefer not to be recognized. or at least it doesnāt matter. regularity is more about my enjoyment of the familiar.
this is the first place iāve been a regular in a while but probably based on my activity on ftc i fall into the category of āactivist regularā
i just like all the commotion.
i walked in hoping for the polenta to be on the menu but not tonight.
still love the honeysuckle sour. maybe thereās a bit of absinthe? something pulls you in, like a marble on a bed sheet explaining gravity.
great menu lately to pop in for bites. the artichoke was a nice bridge between bruschetta and tortellini
squeezed the lime from my daiquiri over the last few bites of soft serve. daiquiri a dark rum blend. the best kind too, just a bunch of rums blended.

Finally went back tonight. With some work friends. The place is good, I donāt think itās āgreat valueā and itās extremely casual vibe not casual prices. (Sorry)
The service was quite poor on a Friday night (kept running out of utensils, taking dishes we werenāt done with, waited for somm foreverrrrrr)
Food is totally good, the meatballs were great the handkerchief pasta was a highlight. The pizza texture is good but the crust has little flavor, and the interior was still limp.
My four non food-industry pilled friends could not figure out what kind of place it was

thereās a world in which 6.8 is a fair review. The problem is that the infatuation ~scrolls to bottom of the article~ gives restaurants like cento and oste 8.7 and 8.2.

Yeah. Donnaās at 8.5.
People are welcome to their opinions. But I decided long ago that the opinions of the Infatuation are not opinions I value. Itās as reliable as Yelp for me. And Iām sure Iām not their target audience.
