    SCROCCHIARELLA = 4 CULTURE DIAVOLA. Creative but not our favorite.
    Jonathan W.

    Pizzeria Sei has been on my list for a while and there's been a ton of hype around their two restaurants. I haven't been to either, but we decided to give it a try. We came knowing that it's very pricey, so I'm excluding pricing from the star rating. We also ordered to go, but we live only a few minutes away so were also able to eat all of the food, fresh and hot. The quality of the food is clearly high, with prices to match. I've had a lot of good pizzas, from NY and Chicago's finest to CA's up and coming. Were these pizza's in the upper leagues? In terms of quality, yes. Innovation, yes. Taste? Hmm it was a mixed bag for us. We did not try their Sei Margherita which is their claim to fame, but instead opted for two of their more interesting pizzas. The first was Scrocchiarella - 4 Culture Diavola and the second was their Mala Garden Pizza. We also bought a pair of croquettes. The Scrocchiarella had a super thin crispy crust with a light Gochujang, maple glaze, peppers, tomatoes, chorizo, balsamic... Very interesting combination that in our opinion did not work well. Normally these complex tastes would feel surprising and refreshing, but this these flavors clashed for me and not in a good way. Sweet and spicy typically goes well together, but not here. And the flavors felt flat and the crust a bit papery. On the other end of the spectrum was the Mala Garden Pizza. If you've ever had chinese bbq (Xinjiang) cumin lamb before, imagine that on a pizza topped with fresh cilantro flowers on a chewy perfectly baked crust. The flavors of the lamb and cilantro paired perfectly with the pizza and my only wish was that they were a bit more generous with the lamb toppings. But otherwise we would absolutely get this again. I'm not normally a fan of croquettes and neither is my wife, but we decided to try them anyways because of all of the reviews. They definitely lived up to the hype, crispy and crunchy on the outside, with a creamy and flavor packed filling. Although it's not something we'd normally order, I'd also recommend trying these. Overall, would I go here again? Based solely on the cost of each small pizza, probably not. If it was competitively priced against other quality pizza chains, I'd definitely go back for more of the Mala lamb pizza though!

    I love pizza and I'm always hunting new pizza. I was a bit disappointed in Sei's Original location and wanted to give this new, second location a try. This location is larger and has much more seating. It's nice and new inside. I suppose the trade off is that you lose that bar experience that the smaller location offers. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in this location as well. I would rate the food as good but nowhere close to good enough to have a #2 in the US title. Honestly, not even #2 in LA. FOOD Mala Garden - this pizza is fried and baked. I thought the flavors were pretty good. I liked the texture of the center of the pizza. The outer areas of pizza, where the crust is, was too hard to bite and eat. It's unfortunate because my problem with their Margarita is that the pizza center is too soft, wet and floppy. Corn Croquette - you get two of these per order. They have a decent corn flavor and a nice crunch. I thought it was decent but $19 is also really steep for this item. SERVICE Service was good for me. Not extraordinary but no complaints. PARKING Free street parking. Wasn't an issue for me but there's a chance it can be. They also have a valet option but I'm not sure if it's daily.

    Ragu pizza
    Lawrence C.

    Some of the best pizza in LA and the price reflects it. We got the Ragu pizza with had amazingly light and airy crust that made eating the crust actually enjoyable, and deeply savory A5 beef Ragu that was so rich I think the salad was necessary to cut through it. The Cali Margarita was super crispy to the extent that there was no sag when holding the crust; much more balanced between the fresh tomatoes and basil. Absolutely a must try at least one but probably only for a special event!

    Amazing pizza combinations and crust. Not every one was a hit, our least favorite was the patate which was a surprise to me as I usually love a white pizza. Patate tasted like a sour cream potato chip pizza, not bad but just didn't compare to everything else. My faves were the sei margherita, 4 culture diavola, ragu. Wife's favorite was diavola for the super thin crust, I thought the gochujang was too sweet but loved everything else on it. Ragu was like eating a good pasta in a pizza form. Sei margherita just had such a delicate lightness and the only pizza I would want to eat more then one slice of. Others loved the fried and baked mala garden but it was too fried and crispy for me, the flavor was fine. Corn croquettes were bursting with flavor, reminded me of the corn potage turtle chip! Only thing we didn't enjoy was the tiramisu parfait, the flavor just wasn't good overall, didn't enjoy the ice cream nor the mascarpone cream nor coffee soaked cake.

    We had the margarita and then 2 more but one with beef pepperoni and one with salami. The salami was THE BEST! Would order again.

    YUM! This pizza was phenomenal. We had the margarita and then 2 more but one with beef pepperoni and one with salami. The salami was THE BEST! Would order again. Dying to try the wagu pizza but it was almost $40 Be careful with street parking regulations and try and come before 4 if you're a walk-in.

    4 Culture Diavola.

    Looking for the best pizza? Say less, it's here at Pizzeria Sei. Already love their original location at Pico, but this one stands out for their atmosphere, decor, and space. From the open kitchen to the thoughtfully curated utensils, their attention to detail is exquisite. I came with a group of five, so we were luckily able to try majority of the menu. We were not disappointed by anything we ordered here from the starters to the pizza. To start, we had 3 Suppli Al Telefono ($9 each), Corn Croquette (2pcs for $19), Broccolini ($19), and Vegan Gem Salad ($19). Both veggies were bright and refreshing, which is much needed before all the carbs. The fry on both the suppli and croquette were incredible. They were fried to perfection with no oil taste. I was especially in love with the corn croquette, which was nothing like I've ever had before. I'm telling you, this is a must. Our table ended up ordering another one of these for dessert because we couldn't stop thinking about it. For the pizza, we had the Mala Garden ($36), 4 Culture Diavola ($38), Ragu ($37), and Sei Margherita ($27). While the pizzas are on the pricier end, it is well worth the flavors and texture you get. I really enjoyed how unique the mala and diavola ones were. While both toppings were amazing, I loved the super thin and crispy crust on the diavola and the fluffy focaccia-like crust on the mala --so damn good! The ragu and margherita were both made with such fresh ingredients, but I find the Neapolitan style a bit messier to eat. Overall, everything was delicious and I'd make the trek out here again. Note: They offer valet in front, but we all found street parking nearby.

    Based on the reviews, I really wanted to like Pizzeria Sei. Unfortunately, I walked away thinking I probably wouldn't be back. We had reservations for 4:00 p.m. and were among the first tables seated. The dining room is smal with tables inside and out front. It is a new restaurant and it feels new. Our waiter came over without introducing himself or offering any sort of greeting. He simply asked whether we had been there before. He then told us that because we and the table next to us had been seated at the same time, he would be handling both tables together because it was easier for him. When he returned, he asked whether we had any questions about the menu, and we placed our order. At the neighboring table, one of the guests said she thought he was going to explain the menu first. He looked at her and replied, "I already did." The entire interaction felt unapologetically off. We ordered the corn croquettes, the Margherita pizza and the Diavolo pizza, along with a glass of wine. As we waited, I noticed food and drinks being delivered throughout the restaurant. Although we had been among the first people seated, tables that arrived at least 15 minutes after us were receiving their food. The croquettes eventually arrived, and I had to ask (a different server) about the wine. By 4:45, we were still waiting for our pizzas, while seemingly every other table had already received theirs. When our pizzas finally arrived, no one apologized for the delay or returned to ask whether everything was okay. I also was never asked whether I wanted another glass of wine. As for the food, neither of us knew what to expect from the croquettes, but neither of us cared for them. The texture was marshmallow-like, and although there was some corn flavor, I wanted the texture and substance of actual corn. The pizzas were beautifully presented. However, as other reviewers have mentioned, the Margherita was very wet and became soggy quickly. The Diavolo was the star of the evening, and we both genuinely enjoyed it. One very good pizza wasn't enough to make up for the dismissive service and unexplained wait.

    Vegan Gem Salad
    Karen L.

    I came to Pizzeria Sei with very high expectations after reading so many glowing reviews. I really wanted to love it. Service was very good, and the restaurant is very pretty. We started with the Corn Croquettes (corn, ricotta, rock miso, truffle, fior di latte, cornflakes, and chives), and they were fantastic. Crispy on the outside, creamy inside, and packed with flavor--they were easily the best thing we ordered. We also shared the Vegan Gem Salad with gem lettuce, shallots, white miso, lemon, olive oil, and fresh herbs. It was simple, fresh, and a great start to the meal. For the pizzas, we ordered the Margherita and the Beef Pepperoni. Pizzeria Sei is known for its Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizza, which is wood-fired at very high heat and baked quickly to create a lightly charred crust. I understand that's the style, but our pizzas had more char than I personally enjoyed. It wasn't bitter, but the crust just wasn't pleasant to eat, and neither pizza had the "wow" factor I was expecting. The ingredients tasted fresh and the pizzas were perfectly edible, but they simply weren't memorable or worth the hype for me. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but I left genuinely confused by the overwhelming number of five-star reviews. I've had better pizza at places with far less recognition. I really wanted this to become one of my favorite pizza spots. Instead, the croquettes ended up being the highlight of the meal, while the pizza--the reason I came--was the biggest disappointment.

    We scored the coveted res! It was great and well worth the effort. Started with the suppli. Highly recommend, it's done really well. Perfect crisp on an acidic creamy vodka sauce. Amazing. We tried two very different Margherita pizzas. Both so good. I really loved the ultra thin crust scrocchiarella pizza, topped with fresh tomatoes, pungent basil and cold creamy cheese. They have a nice outdoor patio area, it's just on busy Overland Ave. I appreciate the clean minimalist interior. It's a win all around. Lovely staff and service. If you're looking for nice NA bev, the Kylie Minogue sparkling is like a slightly elevated Martinelli's. Subtle naming Kylie

    The new location is great - lots of parking and easy to get to from the freeway. The staff is wonderful - attentive, thoughtful, great recommendations, and they keep you updated throughout the evening. The Margherita was nice, the Garden Masala is unique and the real star of the menu, the Diavolo is fine (but honestly better reheated at home). And look, the pizza was good! Was it drive an hour across town good? Sure. Once. Luckily, we're in LA where there's great pizza in every zip code.

    Corn croquette
    Taylor S.

    Finally tried Pizzeria Sei! My favorite type of pizza is Tokyo-style Neapolitan. It used to be impossible to get reservations here, but since they've opened a second larger location, we were able to snag one. Apparently #2 pizza in the US. Almost flawless execution, however there were some stylistic choices that negatively influenced my score. The crust was thin yet super fluffy with a crispy edge (NOT burnt). I do prefer a bit more chew. The mala garden crust was fried and baked but just tasted extra crispy which I loved. Unexpected winner of the night was the Corn Croquette. It came with two perfectly fried and crispy balls filled with a corn chowder. So delicious!! Must get. Best flavor combos were Mala Garden and Ragu. The Sei Margherita was solid, but I prefer my marinara sauce to have a brighter tomato taste. Unfortunately, the Patate and Riviera pizzas missed the mark. They both suffered from too many rich ingredients and I couldn't finish a slice of either. Needed more citrus or herbs to balance everything out. Valet parking is $12 but there is some street parking available nearby. The restaurant acoustics are terrible and it was hard to hear anyone talking. Overall, Pizzeria Sei did live up to the hype and I would definitely return. Maybe doesn't beat some pizza restaurants in Tokyo, but really good for the States.

    4 culture diavola.
    Brian W.

    Loved the old location, the new location is like the old, but scaled to 200%-- inside and outside seating, a bit less of a view of the kitchen, but the vibe still holds, perhaps even with better style inside. Service is good, I feel like I made a mistake with the food, tho. Broccolini was a massive and delicious order, little gem salad was very fresh but a tad heavy on dressing. The pizza, tho, they have a bunch of new ones at this new location. Went with the 4 Culture Diavola, which was extremely pretty, but honestly had too much going on for me. Between the maple syrup and the balasamic, the contrasting flavors didn't allow the rest of the ingredients to shine, and I think, if I visit again, that a more conventional pizza would be the way to go. The hard part about going again, of course, is snagging a reservation. This trip took something like two weeks of checking daily right at 12:00pm when bookings open, and the dates/times of whatever would become open was pretty unpredictable (let alone if anything was released), which clearly is a good sign for the business-- they are busy!!-- but makes it difficult to become a repeat customer.

    Pizzeria Sei on Pico-Robertson is my family's favorite pizza restaurant. When anyone asks "Best Pizza in LA"? It's no question, always Sei. After trying Sei's new restaurant last night, our little minds and taste buds were absolutely blown away. We've ordered 3 different pizzas and each of them used its own distinct type of dough. That alone says enough about Sei's prowess and creativity. The Mala pizza crust being thick, but airy and crispy without the oiliness and heaviness found in most other restaurants. Painted beautifully as a Michelin dish with bold balanced flavors. The Cali Margherita which is their take on light/thin crispy pizzas that is so popular these days. Mind you, Sei does it the absolute best and is a must-try classic. The Ragu pizza makes you feel like you're eating a warm homemade pasta in the shape of a pizza. The perfect airy crunch in each bite with tasteful meaty flavor bombs. The chef cooked up the best pizzas in the country. He continually defines LA pizza culture and has made us proud Angelenos as pizza connoisseurs. Seriously... when did we ever get to comment on the delicacy of pizza crust before Sei?! Now, I can proudly say I've had one of the best pizzaz if not the best pizza in the world. And It definitely must be the water in LA.

    Can you walk in and wait?

    I live nearby and have seen folks waiting outside. Doesn't look like they have any interior waiting area. Not having eaten there yet I cannot say for sure.

    Where are the other pizzeria Sei locations?

    Pico/Robertson

    We are so happy about the new pizzeria Sei location! Trying to reserve a table and there are no options for any day in the coming two months. How can I reserve a table? Can I just come as a walk-in and wait? What's the best way to reserve a table?thx

    12 noon each day reservations can be made for a week from the day you call.

For starters, the entire staff from host to servers were so friendly and attentive, it was a very welcoming and warm environment. Now to the main event, the pizza!

I savoured every bite, especially the garlic pizza - that was a stand out for me! I also ordered a slice of the princess cake and it was divine. Fluffy, moist, and light. I will definitely weather the brutal reservations again, very impressed with everything here!

The pizza had a nice crispy crust with quality ingredients, especially the pepperoni slices and fresh basil, but overall the flavors didn't stand out as much as I expected. The pesto slice was probably my favorite of the bunch, while the pepperoni was solid but nothing particularly memorable. The service was friendly and efficient, and the staff got our order out quickly. The casual, laid-back atmosphere made it a nice spot to grab a slice, though seating is pretty limited. We also tried the cake for dessert, which was light and enjoyable, but overall the meal left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. It wasn't bad by any means, just not a place I'd go out of my way for.
