Where To Take Your Westside Friends Who Never Want To Come To The Eastside - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Hail Mary is the kind of place Eastsiders should want to show off, and not just because it will definitely make your Santa Monica friends jealous. A meal at this Atwater Village pizza spot feels personal, from the chef serving you a pie along with a story about his recent motorcycle trip, to the moment at the end of the night when he comes out from behind the counter to give you a leftover loaf of sourdough. Oh, and did we mention the pizzas? They’re great, but Hail Mary isn’t just about the food, it’s about the feeling that you’re connected to the people who made it." - brett keating
