Mama's Boy Pizza
Jeff C.

Loved it. Definitely one of the best pies in town. Inside has an old school, pizza parlor vibe. A few tables for seating, a couple TVs to watch a game, there's also a couple tables in front for outside seating. The pies are delicious! Love the sourdough thin crust. I can definitely recommend the Mama's Boy pizza. The wings are pretty good too but I wouldn't mind a little more crisp for my taste. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street meter parking but you might have to walk a block or two.

Wasn't sure what to expect going in but was actually surprised how good the food was. The Mortadella Focaccia sandwich was amazing. The bread was crisp but not oily, unlike other focaccia I've had. The mortadella and burrata were fresh and delicious, though I didn't particularly taste pistachio. Also got Burrata and Mookie slices, which were good, but the standout for me was the sandwich. It's very casual, order at the counter, find a seat. We went on a Saturday around 6pm and there were only a couple open tables inside (there was also outdoor seating but it was super hot and sunny).

THE SALAD BAR
Hailey J.

~ food: the salad bar: 10/10 love the ranch dressing and all the toppings. i'm not a big fan of chickpeas but the crunchy chickpeas were amazing with this salad good boy pizza: 10/10 one of the best pizzas i've had in LA! everything about this pizza was amazing. i love how it was the perfect blend of spicy and sweet but not overly salty ~ service: 10/10 friendly. place can get very busy but seats open up pretty quickly ~ parking: limited chinatown street parking but lots of paid parking available for $5+

MAMBA PEPPERONI SLICE - MOOKIE SLICE - GOOD BOY SLICE
Nicole G.

I've recently started becoming more and more of a pizza convert lol. Was never huge on american food since it's usually pretty heavy and greasy, but i've now learned the art of pizza, and La Sorted's does it right. We stopped by on a random Friday or Saturday evening after a night out and I was surprised to see it so poppin' at midnight . It felt like a cool and welcoming open concept bar that night with the loud music and dark moody lighting. Anyways, prices are phenomenal. $5-$7 large slices or you can get a whole pie box of 8 smaller slices for $20-$25. Mookie slice & good boy slice.. just do it. Oh and their selection of hot pepper oils and various pepper flakes is awesome.

The indoor dining area.

They do not miss. It doesn't matter who is working the pizza is great and the service is great. The energy, the music, the decor everything is such a vibe it makes it easy to hang out and enjoy your food. We have been back about 6 times now and we just keep coming back for more. The whole menu is amazing, they are open late, they have slices so it's easy to try a few things. Last night I sat there looking around and was just so impressed by my the experience. It's one of those places that just feels so authentically LA. I'll be back.

If you are a Dodger fan, you gotta check this cool pizza spot. You can even watch the live game while dining.... The dining area is small and more tables outside. They serve appetizers, sandwiches, pizza, hot dog, salad, cookies, and drinks/beer. They even have vegan hot dog and vegan mozzarella cheese. Ordered: UPSIDE DOWN MAMBA SLICE - 3 Cheese Blend, House Tomato Sauce, Maldon Salt, Garlic Oil Crust, and Sicilian Oregano. Soda The pizza was delicious. I added the spicy haberneo peppers and it kicked up the knots big time. Mmm! Then I added droplets of chili oil. Boy, that made my delicious pizza spicier. LoL! There is a public parking right next to the restaurant, or you can park on the side street with the meter. Staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back with my family.

UPSIDE DOWN MAMBA PIZZA
Lindsey L.

Customer service wasn't the best. But the pizza and wings were delicious. Will be coming back lol

Good boy and upside down
Ryan H.

Fave slice in LA so far! The Good Boy was AMAZING. Perfect symphony of flavors. How was it sweet, salty, hint of spicy, etc. all at the same time?! Didn't feel that the upside down was worth the hype and the mamba pep was solid. Good boy was the star of the show! Also only place nearby open past 10 pm so that was a bonus!

I have been eyeing this place for over a year, so the family and I finally stopped by. Stree parking blows on weekends, especially if there is a home game... The place is tiny, with only a handful of tables. It felt like we were on a double date with the couple right next to us, lol. The walls are covered in memorabilia, cool images, bobbleheads, and all kinds of nostalgic baseball stuff. We ordered the fries, buffalo/ lemon pepper mix wings, and the Good Boy pizza. The wings were delicious! The seasoning combination was so flavorful. The pizza was excellent too. I've never tried hot honey glazed on pizza before, but it was a well rounded blend with the pepperoni and burrata. The fries were too fried, I honestly didn't quite like them, but still ate a few. Would definitely come back to try their other pizzas.

Cleveland polish boy special
Brett N.

Why 5 stars? Because this stop was not in the plans, but it really worked out for us. --- --- --- I meticulously planned out my vacation, meal by meal, and activity by activity. My first stop was to grab lunch at Howlin' Rays. We found parking and walked up to it, only to find out that it was closed on Monday's. Apparently I wasn't so meticulous. Side note: I then later planned a visit a couple days later, which I also screwed up because I thought they were open later than 7pm. Apparently Howlin' Rays wasn't meant to be. But once I discovered it was closed on Monday, I had to quicky pivot to find an alternative. La Sorted was our winner, so we found more street parking, and headed in. It turns out, I'm really happy we ended up here. We were in town to go to a couple Dodgers games, and the whole place is completely themed around the Dodgers. The food was awesome, but we really enjoyed looking around at all of the Dodger photos from the last 60+ years. But back to the food. A really cool thing they do here is that when a visiting team is in town, they offer one special food item that's tied to that team. We were here as Cleveland fans, and they did this cool Polish dog because CLE has a huge Polish population. There was another Cleveland fan sitting at a table and he told us that we definitely needed to order it, and who are we to argue with such a thing? I really enjoyed the pizza (I tried the Burrata, Mookie and Good Boy slices), but that polish dog might have the best thing. The owners in here really great too, despite us clearly being the enemy. Glad we came here!

SPICY BUT OH SO SWEET BOY PIZZA
Yvette S.

Ordered Lasorteds late night and it hit the spot. Crust was decent, a little on the thicker side than I prefer, but still had some crisp to it. The pepperoni had a nice spicy kick, which was probably the best part, but I wouldn't call it super spicy. It's one of those spots you go to because it's open and reliable, not because you're craving this specific pizza. Still, for late night, it holds its own.

Faith T.

10/10 experience at La Sorted's... from the food, service and design inside, nothing disappointed. the inside and outside has a good amount of seating which is plenty unless you go during a busy time. i had plans of trying out their kale caesar salad but unfortunately they were out so maybe next time. the pie of the month was delicious, the pulled pork and red onions made such an amazing flavor profile with a crunch as well. this is a nice small pizza spot when you want something other than a chain pizza restaurant, it definitely does the job.

Foul Ball!!! I messed up and wrote my previous La Sorted's review meant for Chinatown location on the Echo Park location.. Anyways, writing another review for La Sorted's based on the Foul Ball foccacia sando. I can't get enough of the foccacia bread at La Sorted's.. The foul ball is a meatball smashed into a patty, served on a garlic foccacia bread, topped with fresh mozza, parm, and a slight spicy tomato sauce. It's a toss up here when it comes to choosing what to eat. It was either the foul ball sando or lasagna pizza (special for February). Service here is really friendly and welcoming. Great neighborhood spot to hang out and visit.

Wax Paper - San Julian & Larry Mantle

Wax Paper

We've been biking on the LA river trail, and we always try to find a new restaurant to frequent…read more Well, once we discovered Wax Paper, that got harder because we always want to eat their sandwiches for lunch. We've tried the Ian Glass (added protein) and the Larry Mantle, and a friend got the Terry Gross. We've also tried the sides Mr. Beans and the Aloha Pasta Salat. Everything has been so good and so fresh! My fav is the Ian Glass by far! It was so good and so filling. The price is pretty fair for a solid sandwich with good ingredients. Service is quick and easy, no frills. You stand in line, order, and then wait. You cannot and should not go back in line to check on the status of your order. When they're ready for you, you'll know. There are a few tables outside, so grab a seat and enjoy your sandwich! Tip: order online for pick up if you're short on time! But if you're really short on time, this probably isn't the place to go for you. Since we've biked here, I don't have any experience with street parking, but since it's in a residential area, it always looks full. So be aware of street parking! You may need to circle around a few times.

tl;dr the tongue-in-cheek sandwiches are more pricey than palatable; the expense is more memorable…read morethan the flavor Frogtown's Wax Paper made waves upon its debut in 2015, when it named its sandwich lineup after public radio personalities. Beyond a laugh, the grab-and-go sandwiches have earned praise from news outlets including Eater and the Los Angeles Times, and Wax Paper has expanded to a second location in Chinatown. Wax Paper makes it home within a repurposed shipping crate. A watermelon pink-and-green striped sign is one of the few markers for the otherwise hidden storefront. The interior has been off-limits since COVID, but you can grab a seat at the adjacent canopied patio. Narrow wooden benches are pressed up tightly to rickety tables. The low buzz of side street traffic intermittently interrupts conversation. My fiancee and I arrived for early weekend lunch and placed the day's first in-person order. Some 30 minutes later, we received a text that our food was ready. Of our sandwiches, we preferred the Garth Trinidad. The citrusy slaw and sliced almonds made a statement, even if the sliced turkey occasionally dominated the flavor profile. Meanwhile, the Larry Mantle, Wax Paper's take on an Italian hero, featured premium meats and breads; however, the sum was, frankly, forgettable. The cold cut meats and spicy aioli were drowned out by a sea of shredded lettuce and the all-fluff sesame roll. Lastly, the Aloha Pasta Salad took Hawaiian pizza toppings and mixed them into a mayo-heavy pasta salad; the result was a dud. The service was molasses-slow -- our order (the first of the day and all cold items) still took half an hour. Further, at nearly $50, the prices were eyebrow-raising. Compared to California sandwich staple Mendocino Farms, Wax Paper's was pricier and less palatable. I don't anticipate paying Wax Paper a visit again.

Just What I Kneaded - obsessed with JWIK's salted chocolate chip and PBJ (vegan!) cookies

Just What I Kneaded is a charming vegan bakery in Frogtown full of personality, friendly staff, and…read moretasty treats. My daughters and I came by between classes at the Klub down the street, and were quickly welcomed into the quaint, indy appearance fully decked out for Halloween (see photos). The place is clean but relaxed, its products on full display, and with a healthy appreciation for their unflappable unofficial mascot, Snoopy. The staff greeted me and took my order. Embracing the vegan identity all drinks come with almond or oat milk complementary, with whole milk +75 cents. I respect that conviction. I got a flat white w almond ($5), which was delicious, well made, and captured in a cup with a pink tip and festive ghost beverage plug (see photo). With it we shared their massive cinnamon roll ($10, see photo), warmed, which was delectable. Sweet, sticky cream cheese frosting with a hint of lemon peel, zesty cinnamon, and moist brioche with just the right amount of sweetness. They make everything in house (see bakery photo) and it is as fresh and delicious as can be. I'm excited to come back and try their other delicious offerings. In a city that's becoming increasingly corporate, I adore independent shops like Kneaded. Delicious, reasonably priced, and full of character, this bakery oozes LA and is truly something we need more of in this world. 5 stars. Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 4/5

I picked up a That's What I Kneaded chocolate chip sea salt cookie from a local collectible store…read more It caught my eye because it was huge and so cutely packaged. When I bought it, I was told it was vegan. The cookie looked so good and the minute I took my first bite, I knew I was going to eat the whole thing in one sitting. It was moist, chewy, tasted fresh, and wasn't overly sweet. It wasn't overly rich either, but it was so good. I couldn't even tell it was vegan. I'll definitely be stopping by the bakery to pick up this cookie again and check out their other baked goods.
