"Sometimes we want chewy, nicely charred Neapolitan pizza and we want it fast. This is what Pizzeria Sei does best. The bare-bones Pico-Robertson restaurant has a small menu of seven slightly puffy, crimped-edge pies, including a briny but not-too-salty Napoletana with capers and anchovies, and the Bismarck, which balances prosciutto cotto, egg, and fior di latte but is never too decadent. Grabbing a seat here usually means sitting at the bar around the dome-shaped oven as you watch your pizza blister to life in a matter of minutes, making it easy to be out the door in well under an hour. Reservations are released two weeks out on Mondays at 10am. It's also possible to check for walk-in availability, as they keep a few seats open per hour. Tuesday night “Omakasei” reservations drop a week in advance on Wednesdays at noon, with 16 slots that book quickly." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
