Fiorelli Pizza Fires Up Its Brick Oven in Beverly Grove | Eater LA

"New to Beverly Grove as of November 5, this sky-blue, 750-square-foot pizzeria sits next to Joan’s on Third and turns out a tight menu of appetizers and brick-oven pies that Fiorelli describes as a hybrid of New York and Neapolitan styles. Classics like pepperoni and mushroom share space with a vegan pie and a white pizza with fennel sausage, and the house dipping sauces are a deliberate standout — ranch, spicy ranch, black olive butter, and hot honey. Beyond pizza, there’s tinned fish, locally made burrata, a chopped chicory Caesar, lamb bolognese pasta, meatballs fried in olive oil and tomato sauce, and warm toasted sourdough, plus seasonal specials such as an octopus sandwich inspired by Bari, Italy. Seating is intentionally intimate — seven inside, three at the chef’s counter, and eight on the patio — with retail take-home items like tinned fish, hot oil, truffle potato chips, and chili peppers. The aim is straightforward: “We’re going for a neighborhood pizzeria where you know what to expect… It’s the kind of place people can stop by any day of the week, day or night,” and it’s open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Mona Holmes
