Got a Half Supreme and Half Not Hawaiian pizza so we can taste a couple of their specialties. The dough was thick but wasn't airy, the flavor of the toppings was fresh, and even the crust was worth every bite. Definitely a large pizza here can serve a whole family easily as we only got through a couple slices each. I'm a sucker for filled malasadas and they def got some good flavors. Got the lilikoi, ube, and guava. Would be dope if they had a custard one like Leonard's but regardless, still dope to get some island malasadas that are packed with flavor. Service was friendly and easily communicated, mahalo plenty to the staff. Plenty of room on the inside and some outdoor seating as well, great space to take the fam and friends. Will be back to try the shave ice next time!

Corn Cheese $10.99 | 8/10 Another pretty standard dish, but the portion size was really good! Plenty to share with the table. 12-Piece Extra Crispy Chicken Wings $22.99 | 9/10 We got lemon pepper and soy garlic. Lemon pepper was way better than soy garlic for me! I really liked the crispy batter and seasoning on the wings. I'd definitely come back for these. Sweet Potato Pizza $18.99 | 7/10 Very unique! The sweet potato flavor on a pizza is definitely something I'm not used to. It was a little too sweet for me, but I'm glad we tried it. Bulgogi Pizza $21.99 | 8/10 This was definitely the better of the two pizzas for me. I much preferred the savory bulgogi flavor and would order this one again. Soju $14 Can't go wrong with some soju to go with Korean fried chicken! Overall, a solid spot for Korean fried chicken, pizza, and drinks with a group. The wings were definitely the highlight for me, especially the lemon pepper!

I came in a few minutes after the restaurant opened and placed my order for a thin crust, pepperoni, and pineapple (don't judge) medium pizza and a large Thai iced tea. The gentleman who took my order made the tea first, from scratch. I love this drink and typically assume it's just going to be sweeter than I like but this one was balanced so well, just sweet enough for me. My pizza was ready in about 25 minutes and WOW! This is the thin crust of my dreams. Not too thin that it folds under the weight of the ingredients or gets super soggy and a crunchy crust! I took a bite without adding on parmesan and chili flakes, delicious both ways. Next time, I'm definitely going to add one of the oil drizzles, I'm sure it'll be great too.

Fast forward and I came here for lunch with my mom. We ordered the Minestrone Soup and Combo 1 which comes with Beef Lasagna, Beef Ravioli and Spaghetti with Meatball. The Minestrone was nice and comforting and I enjoyed the crisp garlic bread. I thought the lasagna, ravioli and spaghetti were tasty as well. Unfortunately, that evening I started feeling very ill. I could barely keep any food down and became quite weak. Based of my symptoms, I had food poisoning. The only food I had eaten that day was from Lomeli's. I normally hate giving a restaurant one star, especially when I initially enjoyed the food.

Hailed as the second-best pizzeria by the 50 Top Pizza USA list, I put Pizzeria Sei on my list as a…read moremust-try during my latest trip to Los Angeles. However, I left disappointed with my visit, especially after trying several other pizza restaurants on this list that absolutely lived up to the hype. Sei is in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood, unassumingly sitting on the corner of the block. The restaurant is very small. It features a bar that surrounds the kitchen area, along with a few tables. They accept reservations and walk-ins, and they also seem to do a lot of takeout orders. Not being able to make a reservation for three, we decided to get there early on a weekday to grab a seat. We waited about ten minutes for three seats at the bar. The menu has plenty of options, featuring both classics and more unique pizzas. We ordered one pizza per person with the intention of sharing all three, and went for a mix of classic and fusion, opting for the Margherita, Ruti's Pizza, and Mala Lamb Sausage. It took about 20 to 25 minutes for the pizza to arrive at our table. Visually, the pizzas all looked amazing. The crust was really puffy with plenty of color contrast on the plate. Upon picking up my first slice, I immediately noted the floppiness of the pizza. The center of the pizza collapsed, causing some ingredients to fall off. This carried into my thoughts on the texture of the crust. In the Margherita especially, the bites towards the middle of the pizza were really soggy. The texture was borderline unpleasant. Maybe it had to do with the amount of sauce they used, but I found that the Margherita was the only pizza we ordered that was really problematic in this aspect. And while the Ruti's and Mala Lamb pizzas were still floppy in the middle, they weren't as soggy. Despite this, it was clear to me that Pizzeria Sei cared a lot about their ingredients. The natural flavors of each component in every pizza shone beautifully. The tomato sauce had a really nice, sweet, and tangy flavor, and all the herbs were aromatic and flavorful. I found the Mala Lamb Sausage pizza to be the best. The flavor profile was well-balanced and unique in addition to the crust being the best. As I ate closer to the edge of the pizza towards the crust, the texture improved drastically. The crust itself had a light crunch but was overall very chewy, and it was finished with high-quality olive oil. Combined, these drastically improved the pizza. Was Sei the second-best pizza in the US? For me, it definitely wasn't. However, they offer a unique crust style hard to find elsewhere in the US, along with creative dishes that make Pizzeria Sei worth a visit. If I were to go again, I wouldn't order all of the pizzas at the same time. From the second the pizzas hit our table, they grew soggier, and as they cooled, all of the pizzas were mediocre. I understand that this style of pizza is required to be eaten immediately, but it is also something to note and plan for.

I had heard great…read morethings from reviews and even had family member recommend their pizza, so we finally decided to give it a shot. For our first visit, my daughter suggested the Tandoori Tikka Pizza (Tandoori Chicken). We also ordered the Halal Chicken Wings, Garlic Naan, and a small salad. Right away, the smell when you walk in is incredible, and the staff greets you immediately, which made a great first impression. Now for the food -- the pizza was delicious with the perfect amount of toppings. The sweet and tangy BBQ sauce really brought everything together. I personally would've liked a little more cheese, but the crust was cooked perfectly with a nice chewy texture. The wings were another standout that both my wife and I really enjoyed. Slightly crispy on the outside while still delicate and moist inside, with a mild heat from the spices that wasn't overpowering. The naan was decent with a good garlic flavor, although it was a bit thin for my preference. The salad was fresh and delicious -- we always appreciate having plenty of vegetables with our meals. Overall, definitely recommend checking them out. Next time we're planning to try the Butter Chicken Pizza.

But I did enjoy the italian sausage and basil. Still so glad I got to try it. I heard many people say that the black onion was sweet, but personally, It didn't taste sweet to me. The sauce was quite overbearing. The comments were right about one thing: it was very tangy. However, the good news is that my family loved it. If the family loves it, then it really has the potential. We loved the ambiance! The restaurant is very clean, seriously spotless. Based on our experiance, we also found the restaurant is empty. The plants outdoors really set the vibe. I love how it feels like you are in a garden. The inside feels like a typical pizza place. Very calming, and cool temperatures. Their pizza is fresh and everything is done well. The service is outstanding. For anyone who is new to the place, the waiters will bring you the pizza after ordering. They came as soon as possible and everything was delivered well. While I wasn't a fan of the black onion marinara, I do believe that we will come back in the future and try a few different pizzas. I am still willing to think that maybe I didn't order the right thing and that there is more flavors to try. Thank you Burratino's Brick Oven Pizza for the good experiance. I am willing to try the restaurant again.
