"If you’re looking for a change of pace from the many wood-fired and Detroit-style shops popping up around town, head to Oste. This new Italian spot in Beverly Grove specializes in pinsa, a Roman-style flatbread that’s unlike anything you can really find in LA right now. The crust is thin, crunchy, and light, making it entirely doable to have several pieces without sweating it out on the couch later. We love the “Calabrese” with mozzarella and spicy n’duja, as well as the sweet and herb-y “Viva L’Italia,” which comes with pesto, goat cheese, and cherry tomatoes. That said, even if you aren’t a potatoes-on-pizza person, the “Patate” will convert you. Topped with thin, round potato slices and rosemary, it’s a perfectly-balanced pie that’s hearty, aromatic, and delicious." - brant cox, brett keating
