you can smoke anything if you put your mind to it
You can definitely smoke out of anything if you put your mind to it.
Apples/Pears
Soda cans
Aluminum foil
Empty cut in half Sparkletts water bottles in a bathtub filled with water
Pen casings
Baguettes
Out of all of them I find this one the most outrageous lol
Apple is the bomb. I’m gonna try the baguette.
That conversation transported me back to my 20s… but I can guarantee you that when we got the munchies back then we weren’t eating pizza like this!
Our last few visits…
Burrata
So buttery, creamy, a little too much olive oil, because occasionally there’s such a thing. Being a shameless crostini lover one of my favorite things about PS’ antipasti is the accompaniment of thin, perfectly crispy, pan fried toasts.
Bismarck - Fior di Latte, Prosciutto Cotto, Sunnyside-up Egg, Pecorino, Moliterno al Tartufo, Basil, Truffle Oil, Sea Salt
You’d think with the truffle cheese & truffle oil it’d be a truffle bomb but it’s not. So delicious. Who doesn’t like eggs & ham? Add delicious cheeses and basil for the green. I do like it, Sam-I-am!
Caesar
Extra Anchovies
Mala Lamb Sausage, Kendal Farms Creme Fraiche, Red Bell Pepper, Smoked Provola, Cilantro Flowers, Shaved Shallot, Tomato Pulp, Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano Reggiano, Black Pepper, EV Olive Oil, Lemon, XXHEAT Mala Spiced Chili
Everything that can be said about this pizza has already been said including by me.
Margherita Special - Caseficio il Casolare Mozzarella di Bufala, Tomato, Wong Farms Basil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Sicilian Sea Salt
Maybe the soupiest PS pizza. Soupy center is not my thing but this pizza is so good I’ll overlook that point!
Vino…
Bardasce Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo
This “pizza friendly” wine is a favorite of the PS staff but not a big seller. I hope they keep it on the menu because its become a favorite of mine. Montepulciano grapes, big red fruit flavors, refreshing, hits my rosé sweet spot.
Sorry, can’t remember what the white wine is except that I liked it. Here’s the wine list from this visit…
I must give a shoutout to PS tap water. Yes, the water. Maybe the cleanest, crystal clearest, tap water I’ve had in a restaurant. I’m thinking it’s uber-purified for using in the fantastic pizza dough? Such attention to detail.
So happy to have Pizzeria Sei in our proximity!
omakasei review forthcoming?
Sold out
i am the saddest of pups - made plans a few weeks ago with out of town friends elsewhere on 5/14. Sigh
I have a feeling @PorkyBelly grabbed the last . How dare!
this new special marinara is so good it’s worth a journey to “poundtown” as some like to say.

My review:
Lunch at Sei was a solid 14,000 (out of 10).
I wasn’t there but I’m sure it was over 9,000.
Mala lamb and surprisingly the tricolore salad have my heart. Special marinara a close second. The patate with caviar is cheating so I don’t know that I can rate it fairly. Mostly I appreciate the dough and the range of flavors + ingredient quality in the pizzas they have.
I am super excited to see the pics from tuesday’s tasting menu. He ordered enough caviar for 100g a pizza. So uh. it’s gonna be generous.
@PorkyBelly tasting review forthcoming?
Can’t wait till omakasei is open to us plebes!
Wow, that special marinara looks great indeed.
I saw that some Savoy alum, Daisuke Nakamura of Bacar, also had datterini tomatoes on his marinara. He’s all the way out in Okinawa, but it may be worth a special journey sometime if I’m in Tokyo, maybe later this year.
Sexy red marinara here
@matthewkang kudos for what you guys do keeping on top of all the news, but I had a chuckle at this line:
with the wabi-sabi crust capturing the chewiness
the concept of wabi-sabi took a beating over the last few years from social media interior design influencers’ tips on how to make “aesthetic” apartments, let’s not try to use it to describe pizza, please
Super Seiyan
I think there may be one on the 28th (tickets going on Resy)?
Thx for info I’ll put on calendar!
needless to sei, this was an excellent omakasei. just sei yes to the marinara special, 90s pizza hut, and red panang curry.
