Editorial Review for Caioti Pizza Cafe – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Walls decorated with menus from now-defunct Angeleno eateries line the walls of this tiny restaurant. Outside, chatty locals and their dogs lounge at sidewalk tables. Chef-owner Ed LaDou made pizza an art form at Spago and California Pizza Kitchen and these pies also feature thin crusts and imaginative toppings--from barbecue chicken to grilled eggplant to oysters Rockefeller. As a side, the "Maternity Salad" of Gorgonzola, balsamic vinegar and walnuts is legendary.

Thank you City Search! I stumbled on this listing for being named the top BYOB---didn't even know there was such a place. Anyways I went this weekend on Saturday night (not forgetting my wine!!) the place was really busy, but we were sat within 15 min. I have to tell you this place is very small,but it has such a nice vibe they had nice blues and jazz playing and dim lights. Its kinda of like the when your here you family, I could tell that there were many regulars as they seemed to know the servers . There are only two of them and a guy working the register. They are definately in sync with eachother and so nice and helpful. The place offers 3 styles of pizza. We tried them all!! We had a new york, Old world Salsiccia, New World BBQ Chicken. All delicious!! We also had a an crab cake appetizer they were offering that night and a few salads--- I have to tell you though that if the service and the food wasn't so amazing I may have been upset that my salads came out after my pizza. As if we didn't have enough food we has Eric's famous desserts- YUM! It was really nice find a place with EXCELLENT service, and food!!
Pros: Best service, delicious food, great ambience
Cons: The kitchen was a bit slow on all but the pizza. Only one bathroom

Parking was a little hard. We just parked on the side street, make sure to read the signs. Some places you cannot park after 9pm. We went on a Friday night and the place was packed. We had to wait about 15 minutes before we could get a table. But the host/cashier was very nice and sat us as soon as he could. The waiter told us about the specials the chef came up with for that night. Sounded great but we wanted to try the pizza. AMAZING! We are from New York and the pizza was great. We had one New York Style and one Old World Style. But we must tell you, the service was outstanding. I read some reviews about it being "not so good" but the wait staff (Tanya, Rocky and the host??) were extremely warm. The chef even came out to make sure everything was ok. Because of this, we will be back at NIGHT...... Here is the kicker, we ended up coming from breakfast on Sunday. It was a total mess. The wait staff was what I had read about before, "not so good." So.... my suggestion: If you are going to go too Caioti, go at night. Look for Tanya, Rocky, Erik the Chef and the cashier (has crazy hair).
Pros: Food and Service
Cons: Parking
