    Sei pizza bar has been on my list of places to try for the past few years. We were finally able to secure reservations on a Thursday night for dinner. We were also fortunate to have found street parking less than a block away which nice. Waited less than 10 mins for our table to be ready as we had a party of 4. Started the meal off with the burrata and a caesar salad. The burrata was perfect and paired well with the toasted bread slices. We all thought the caesar salad was just ok as they tossed it with quite a bit of salad dressing and made it pretty salty. As for the pizzas, we ordered the Sei margherita, funghi and bismarck. Of the 3, we all thought the Sei margherita was the best. My wife is a huge mushroom fan and thought the funghi didn't have much flavor though there was a ton of shaved mushrooms on top. The bismarck was the one that we all thought was just ok. I thought the pizza dough lacked a bit of flavor but it did have a nice bite to it. Having been able to try quite a few pizzerias in Tokyo, I think we prefer them out there. Not saying Sei isn't good, it just doesn't compare. Needless to say, we had quite a few slices to pack but am glad I succumbed to the pressure and ordered their tiramisu as it was hella tasty! Would head back if in the area and if we could secure reservations. Service was attentive and am glad the server pushed me to order the tiramisu!

    I understand the hype. Sei Pizza is fantastic. The bread is satisfyingly doughy, fresh, light, and airy. The ingredients are clean, refreshing, and intentional. The za itself is as delicious as you'll find anywhere here in the United States. I ordered for pickup and drove 25 minutes before diving in. And the pizza still tasted like it was fresh out of the oven. Get the mala lamb pizza. That was my favorite. So distinct, savory, fresh, and satisfying. I'd recommend that to anyone who's looking for a slightly heartier option. Sei Pizza must be at the top of any pizza lover's list.

    Diavola Pizze and Bianca PizzePizze
    Ann L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small venue but with blasting flavors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the crust...OMG is what sets them apart from the others. Without a single doubt. This has to be the best pizza place in town. Each pie is made in high heat oven bake. Thin crust pizza with a fluffy and airy crust that exudes a soft, warm, slightly Smokey aroma with each bite. Toppings can vary depending on the day, but I normally like to mix both a tomato based sauce and white sauce pie. So therefore always a group venture. Diavola was a show stopper. A tomato based sauce with Fior di latte cheese and perfectly crisp pepperoni. Not gonna lie, I ate 3/4 of the pie on my own. Bianca was a white sauce with Fior di Latte and uniquely a lemon preserve. Pretty distinct citrus flavor so not sure how many of you will relate to it. Very unique flavoring. Had 2 slices but not a pie you can eat alone in my opinion. Make sure you're with a partner or group. Overall loved their pies and looking forward to trying the Napoletana and Fungi.

    Tiramisu

    10/10 would go again! We dined in and kitchen was slammed at 5pm for one pizza. No frills location, very busy with a few tables and mostly bar seating. Everyone was extremely friendly and apologetic about the wait. I hear there's a sit down location opening next week! Very worth it though, the margarita special was sooooo good. I prefer the crust a little burnt, so it was perfect, but My husband said it was a little too dark for him. The tiramisu was very fresh and delicious, I felt there was too much mascarpone and the espresso could be stronger.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small shop. Limited seatings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They got some pretty interesting pizza that you can't find elsewhere. We got whatever was recommended to us-their signature pizza and the meat platter. It was decent but to say it's the best pizza...that's more on preference. The dough is thin. I wouldn't recommend the meat platter since it's nothing unique.

    I want to preface the review that I didn't get to dine in this time but ended up taking my pies to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a smaller location so it can get packed but to avoid the crowds you can just take it to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ended up trying both a white/red sauce pizza (margherita and funghi). I will say they aren't the cheapest pies around at ~$26 each for a 12 inch pie but the ingredients are really fresh. Even to go, the pie held up pretty well and the crust didn't get soggy. They don't skimp on the toppings either so I did feel satisfied eating the two pies. I enjoyed both and i'm a mushroom gal so thought the funghi would be my favorite but I was pleasantly surprised by the margherita with bufala. Yum! Their menu is simple and there aren't a lot of options for other menu items like appetizers and desserts, but they have a good option of sides you can order.

    Mala Lamb Sausage (prettiest pizza,perfectly spicy,yum)
    angela l.

    Believe you need reservations but we were fortunate enough to be seated right away.Service was efficient and people who did take out were told to order pizza to go and they needed 45 min.[[HIGHLIGHT]]Quite small but they can seat 2 or 4 people to a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]Next time need to try the margarita pizza and the davines.Cant wait.

    Margarita with added prosciutto cotto
    Karen L.

    I don't understand how Sei Pizza was rated the #2 pizza place in the country. I was really excited to try it because I love a good pizza. But it was disappointing all around. I ordered online around noon for a 6:30 pickup (earlier was not available). When I arrived right at 6:30 I was told they were behind and it would be another 15 minutes. Given there's nowhere to park and wait to pick up, we drove around for 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes later it was ready. By the time we got back with the pizza the oil had leaked through the box onto my pants which was a mess to clean up. We had ordered the funghi pizza and the margarita with added prosciutto cotto. Both were very soggy. The funghi pizza was very salty, and both had burnt edges on the crust which I guess is their thing but doesn't taste good. The quality of the individual ingredients seemed very good but the execution of turning them into a pizza was lacking. Overall it was a disappointment.

    Pitate pizza
    Sophia A.

    Wait was estimated to be an hour but was only 30 minutes so try to stay in the surrounding area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got lucky with parking, place is small but cozy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Started with oil dipped toasts and fresh burata, amazing start. Pizzas came out soon and were absolutely delicious. Pitate was delicious with waves of garlic, potatoes, cheese and cream, oh man was it good. The margarita balanced the rich flavors. We definitely didn't need to order both pizzas but are so glad we did. Their crusts alone are delicious and service by staff was excellent. Will definitely go back and get more pizza!

    Margherita Special
    Vivi L.

    This is my 3rd time here and one of my absolute favorite pizza spots. There's a reason they rank top 2 in the USA... it's honestly well deserved!! The place is small so if you want to do a walk in be prepared to wait, but the wait is honestly so random. One time I got in 25 minutes later and next time 45 minutes. First time, I got takeout and was honestly disappointed. The pizza got cold during the 12 minute walk back to my apartment and it just didn't hit the same because it wasn't fresh. Second time, we did a walk-in on a Sunday and somehow got really lucky. Waited about 20 minutes at a nearby coffee shop because of cancellations. We got the Margherita special and Ruti's pizza, and both were out of this world. Especially the Margherita special... this is hands down my favorite pizza i've tried in LA. I tend to gravitate toward classic flavors and they did everything right with this one. The crust alone... probably the best Neapolitan dough I've had in my life. It's pillowy, soft, slightly chewy, and just has that perfect structure. Only thing to note is their pizzas are VERY floppy. Like... really floppy. So if that's not your thing, you might not love it as much. Ruti's pizza is a white base with soppressata, fresh arugula, and hot honey. The sweet and spicy combo worked really well, super balanced and not overwhelming. We also got the tricolor salad which was a great starter. Very fresh, bright, and tangy from the lemon dressing. It cuts through the heaviness of the pizza perfectly. Third time, we did another walk-in on a Saturday around 2:30 PM and got seated within 30 minutes. At this point I'm convinced I just have good luck with the wait times!! We ordered the mala lamb sausage, diavola, bianca, and tiramisu. My favorite this time was the bianca. It was lighter and acted as a really nice palate cleanser between the heavier pizzas. You can actually taste the lemon in it, which surprisingly I loved on pizza. Only thing is you have to eat it fast because once it cools down, the cheese solidifies pretty quickly. The mala lamb sausage is definitely a crowd favorite, but not my personal favorite.... It leans heavier and the lamb flavor comes through pretty strong. If you like bold flavors you'll probably love it, but I personally prefer something more classic and clean like the margherita or the bianca. The diavola was solid. The soppressata brought the right amount of spice and everything felt really balanced. And the tiramisu... I will always get this if I have room for dessert. It's a good portion size!! The three of us shared it after already eating three pizzas (and still had 3 slices leftover) and we were completely stuffed. I would come back again for the Margherita special and the tiramisu alone.

    Marinara Pizze (with pepperoni)
    Majella L.

    Visited this Pizzeria Sei location (now known as Sei Pizza Bar) for the second time and was happy to be early so we can actually be seated near the counter. We ordered 3 delicious pizzas and enjoyed every bite. What makes their pizza so exceptional is their dough. It's perfection! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is tiny and extremely limited in seating so come early or wait for a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Takeout works too but for this pizza you want to enjoy it fresh out the oven. One of my favorite pizza places in LA!

    Bismarck Pizze + Arugala
    Ryan S.

    We were lucky enough to get reservations on a Friday night so we were seated right when we arrived. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is not much seating in the restaurant, 3 tables and bar seating near the pizza oven[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], The servers were very attentive and helped us order right away. We got the Bismarck pizza with arugala and patate pizza with pepperoni, and both pizzas were delicious. It was surprising how the unique cheeses and ingredients used in each pizza made them both taste completely different. We were also a big fan of the pizza texture and crust. While eating we saw many people place pickup and to-go orders so this place is clearly very popular. It is a bit pricy for pizza, but you are getting great quality and delicious food.

    Mala Lamb Sausage Pizza
    Jeff C.

    I liked it. Finally got around to trying this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small interior inside with limited seating. Wouldn't go with more than 2 people. Probably better as a to go option.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pizzas are good though. We got the mala lamb sausage and patate. Loved the flavor of the lamb sausage. And I loved getting a bite of the potato and ricotta cheese. The middle of the pizza is quite soggy though. You can't really hold a slice with one hand even if you fold it. So you'll need a fork. Would definitely come back to try more. Service was good. Friendly staff. We went on a Friday night and there was a 30min wait, which wasn't too bad since there's a bar right next to it. Street meter parking up and down the block.

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.

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.
