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.

Pricey, below average service, and so-so Pizza

by Guinivere

They screwed up my simple order on two occasions, pizza was cold, and very slow staff. Over priced for pizza that could be much better.

  • Pros: It's edible if you are hungry.
  • Cons: Expensive Pizza and Poor service.
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Delicious!

by fillaramalama

If you're in a hurry, you might get mad. But if you're not, this is a great spot to grab some really interesting and unique food in Tujunga Village. Really interesting pizzas, salads, and homemade pastas.

  • Pros: Great, unique food
  • Cons: Spotty service

Just WHY

by stanley12bar

I liked this place for awhile and have been at least 10 times, but I will never go back. For one thing, I have never appreciated the staff there - One girl in particular likes to make weird and off-putting comments in some effort to be witty, and really it's just uncomfortable. Most of them seem bitter to be having to work at a restaurant instead of being on TV or something, and they tend to be slow and disinterested.

The pizza is only ok for how pricey it is, and last time we went an insect of a certain persuation walked right by us on the counter where you can sit to eat. I know that even fine restaurants can have trouble with these things, but it was pretty crazy to see one right out in the open during a busy dinner time. YIKES. Other people saw it, and we were tempted to leave but didn't. Go to Pit Fire Pizza in Noho instead - Better pizza for cheaper, nicer people.

  • Pros: spinach salad, OK pizza
  • Cons: insect on the counter the last time I went, SERVICE
