The Hit List: New LA Restaurants To Try Right Now

"The thick pan pizzas at this Koreatown spot look like they were designed by a mad scientist with a marinara obsession. The tangy, fermented dough has the springiness of a memory foam pillow, a salty blend of cheeses coats each crusty edge, and fun toppings balance classic with creative, like a whole grilled short rib, gochujang pepperoni, and al pastor sausage. Seven Tigers is run by the Calic Bagel team and shares the same space, complete with free underground parking and a shaded, string-lit patio. Their nighttime pies will piss off purists as much as their bagels, while tasting just as delicious, too. Drop by for an al fresco pizza dinner with friends, draft beer, and natural wine before summer’s over." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
