how was the pizza?
Perfect chew on the crust. It’s close-ish to me so it’ll replace the La Morra sized hole in my stomach. Though I agree with @NYCtoLA this feels more pure neopolitan, and in a good way!! Plus no pepperoni, which I like because then I can’t order it

because of @NYCtoLA’s bad influence I had to try a few pies to pregame before dinner at maude (review forthcoming).
I’m not a fan of the whole soupy center, fork and knife neapolitans, but I really enjoyed these japanese style ones. everything @NYCtoLA described about the crust was spot on, pillowy with a mochi like chew but also with a slight crisp to it.
pro tip: ask for it savoy style if you want your pies with the proper amount of olive oil and salt.
piping hot
marinara - tomato, garlic, basil, oregano, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt
no soupy center
margherita - tomato, fior di latte, basil, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt
funghi - fior di latte, shaved mushroom, slow roasted garlic, pecorino, oregano, fresh thyme

I did online delivery Saturday afternoon. Wouldn’t do it again as opposed to pick up because I live very close by but the pizza was rather cold by the time it had made it to my place and I was not in the mood to reheat. The crust was very very good. One of the nicest pizzas I have gotten in L.A. Definite addition to the dining scene.
Does anyone know what the parking situation is like for quick pick up. And how far spaced are any outdoor tables. I want to give the restaurant a better test than the mediocre delivery procedure.

there’s one dedicated parking spot in the back and a bunch of metered street parking. I didn’t have any trouble parking the two non-prime times I went.
two tables outside

Ronan is (probably) just as good, plus tons of non-pizza options.
NB: This is based on zero visits to Sei. But will go soon to back up my (mostly) baseless assertion – the pedigree is the same and the pies appear identical.

Speaking of baseless assertions, someone who i trust on bread and pizza was there recently and said it was good but not all that different from Roberta’s
Thoughts?
