    a jar of spicy chili crunch
    Louis C.

    I've been on my Napolitano pizza hunt again lately. And pi00a (pronounced pie-o-ah) is one of my latest finds. It operates out of a ghost kitchen near the corner of Melrose and Western. On this particular Saturday a bit past the lunch hours, there was a lot of people waiting outside. Luckily I pre-ordered and was able to walk right up to the window and pick up my order. The Margherita pizza was as good as most margarita I've had in LA. It's a good substitute, or better if you're one of those who are boycotting Jon & Vinny for their audacious 18% service charge that does not go to the wait staff. The dough is properly proofed which yielded a soft and puffy crust. However, unless you live within five minutes, I'd suggest you plan to devour your pizza in your car. As with any typical Napolitano pizza the center crust is pretty thin and does not travel well. The spicy chili crunch is definitely worth the hype. It reminded me very much of the Chinese XO sauce, which is explained by Melody Stein's Hong Kong roots. It gives a bit of kick but not too much (I'd rank it 6 on a scale of 10), it also has a bunch of crunchy morsels that adds to the texture of the pizza. The lemon olive oil cake, while decent, had no lemon flavor. I'd probably skip the next time. What's also impressive is the fact that the proprietors are making great efforts to help hearing-impaired workers. That is a very worthy cause. I'll definitely be back to try their other more interesting pizzas.

    Miso eggplant. Heavenly delish!

    I am not vegan but ordered miso eggplant. OMG! The sauce was perfect. Very tasteful! I just cannot describe. Just PERFECT! I also got lemon olive oil cake. I'm not a cake person but this!! The size of it was awesome. Frosting and flavor texture of the cake. I definitely will come back for more! OooOooO!! Their chili crunch!! Spicy yet sweet. My mouth is watering when I type that!! A must have!!

    10" Asian Pear Pizza

    I drove my car from SF to LA for visiting a new pizza store on open day! I ordered Asian pear pizza. OMG!! I didn't expect that Asian Pear pizza was soooo GOOD taste! I did not feel regretful that I visited there from SF. I highly recommend you Asian Pear pizza!

Definitely cool to try but not my personal favorite. - Insalata mista (5/5): a delicious, large salad that was flavorful, refreshing, and just the perfect pairing for the other dishes we ordered. My gf and I both loved this and were so glad we ordered it! - Spicy salame calabrese tartufato pizza (4.5/5): The truffle honey in this was very light but we still loved the flavors in this pizza. Overall (5/5): My gf and I love coming for their happy hour. Vibes are nice, service is friendly, and food is great!

The melty cheesy, flavorful sauce and toppings against the crispy crust made it super delicious. The downside is the pizza gets cold by the time you eat a second slice and you just crave experiencing what you had earlier. It is a bit difficult to have an intimate private conversation because the acoustics of the room made the music and conversations around echo. But if you're looking for the louder party vibe it's great! Super friendly staff as well, would recommend if you're in the arts district.

    Okay, so I know I've driven by this place and went to an ice cream museum pop up back at the end of…read morethe covid fakedemic, but it really wasn't on my radar. Nice name, but when I see menus of any cuisine that go out of their way to offer vegan and gluten free versions of everything, it tends to put me off. I know that's an unfair prejudice, but I always assume it's more of a healthy food place for people who complain about regular food than a real tasty joint. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. Now that I've tried their fantastic pizza, my only sadness is that they are located in DTLA, where finding parking even to run in and pick up things to go is always difficult. So, we were here at first not for the food but because my teen son's death metal band, Institutionalized, was playing a show with the very popular super cool local metal band Diabology. But, hey, if you're there might as well grab something before you leave, right? So We got a cheese pie, which was excellent. Also tried a slice of their white pie, which was garlicky goodness. What really sold us, though, was the Sicilian pie we got. As born and bred New Yorker transplants who have been here a long time, we have never found a fantastic Sicilian. Good, sure, but never great. The pies are never thick enough as far as the breading. Here it was as close as we've ever got. And like the other pizza, the taste was excellent. And, as native New Yorkers, we know our pizza! Strongly recommended! Can't wait to get another Sicilian pie in the near future with some toppings.

    It took me over a year to come back here after they mistakenly gave me a regular pizza instead of…read morevegan. I finally went back and tried one of their vegan pastas I hadn't tried before, and there was meat in it (pancetta). I literally am feeling sick to my stomach--I'm pescatarian + non-dairy and stopped eating meat in 2013 so I'm sure you can imagine. The customer service was amazing and the cashier who helped me, Melissa, was so apologetic and sweet (obviously wasn't her fault), but this is just another warning to anyone who is vegan and considers coming here. I also came when they were about to close and already had to wait like 15min longer than they said so there's not even anything else open this late for me to find other food. Very disappointing and I will not be coming back for good this time. If I could give separate stars for customer service, I would give them 5 stars but this was unacceptable on the cook's part. Do not risk it if you are vegan.

My friend and I ordered the melons appetizer which was refreshing and phenomenal - who knew pickles and sweet melon went together so beautifully?! For pizza, we ordered a slice of "Tomato Slice" with ricotta and a slice of pepperoni. We both loved the Tomato Slice but my friend thought the pepperoni was just ok. For dessert, my friend ordered the Princess Cake. Fortunately she let me try a bite so I can say it was moist and delicious! I got the coconut cream pie which was lovely with some mango on top, and to go, I snagged a slice of the stone fruit "slab" - they literally took off the "sold out" sign at opening and I immediately told our server I wanted some to take home! I tried it the next day, slightly warmed up and it was amazing! This spot is definitely worth the trek and parking struggle that is Silver Lake!
