"The last time you ate pizza at a restaurant (instead of from a Trader Joe’s box) was your third date - so, roughly 12 years ago. Break that streak at Milo + Olive. This Santa Monica spot is casual enough that you can wear whatever you threw on after work, but still feels date-night appropriate. Plus, the pizzas are excellent and inventive, like pork belly sausage and kale, and potato with rosemary cream. Sit at the bar in front of the open kitchen with a bottle of wine, watch the pies get made, and be glad you’re not the one cooking dinner for once. And don’t leave without getting a garlic knot." - Jess Basser Sanders, Brett Keating, James Montgomery
