Yeah that Margherita Special is the winner for me. Server said to let it sit for thirty seconds before making sure to take big bites and always getting cheese. For me that meant each slice was a messy two biter.
Then the beef tongue, then the lamb + as @PorkyBelly mentioned the canned bluefin belly. Had that on a little toast with some raw garlic (?) could be misremembering that part but delicious all the way
Oh I agree, most indubitably!
That marg special is the platonic ideal of margherita!
So we’re finally making it to Sei on Saturday. 4 of us. Feels like the special marg, mala lamb and then beef tongue + funghi crostini + tiramisu? And potentially the filetto if that one is available, although I assume the tomatoes may be out of season… ANything else that is must order?
Also, looks like no alcohol sold but is it BYOB?
they have alcohol
Yep, NVM! Was an old review or something!
They have a pretty good, thoughtful wine list. $25 Corkage if you BYO.
Proscuitto plate and caesars are great as well. What time are you guys going?
6PM reservation
Chances of seeing Sergio is much higher during lunch if that’s something you prefer.
ask for the bluefin tuna belly and garlic toast.
Ha, yeah, unfortunately, the only day/time we could get to work on our end this holiday. But seems like Sergio has trained his apprentices well!
There today with reservations at 5pm. Sergio was in the house. Still boggles my mind that people were able to get seats as walk ins, meanwhile I have reservations 2 months from now for Bianco.
You can walk in at Bianco on a Friday at lunch. Dinner walk-ins seem to be are harder now, but I’ve still had luck at the beginning or end of service.
Don’t even know where to start… I saw Sei on a few posters’ Favorites of 2023 lists and I was skeptical. Even as a pizza lover, how could pizza be that good? I’ve hit most of the great spots in NYC, LA, SF and did the Italy thing a long time ago. I love pizza, it’s my favorite food in the world, yet I didn’t think it could reach such highs. With that said, let me start from “least” good to best…

glad you liked the lamb. there was an earlier iteration of the lamb that used a drizzle of maple syrup instead of pimento bell peppers for the sweet component to balance the heat. not sure which one I liked better, both were great.
no tiramisu or margarita?
Ah, we were stuffed and couldn’t fit the tiramisu! And actually my wife had the special margarita. I sadly did not even get a taste, which says something though bc my wife at the whole thing and she is not a big pizza eater.
She kept saying we should have just gotten the regular margarita bc she can’t tell the difference, but I was like, uh, you ate the whole thing so something was different, lol!
I’m not sure what I would have liked better, the pimento bell peppers or maple syrup. I can see how the sweetness would add another layer of complexity to the pizza but I sort of loved that it was entirely savory. Truly one of my all-time bites. I was skeptical about the cilantro flowers but they were so fragrant!
