The Hit List: New LA Restaurants To Try Right Now

"If every backyard garden had a pizza stand, the world would be a happier place. Just look at Fiorelli Pizza, an outdoor pop-up from the chef behind Love & Salt that’s open Thursday through Sunday (weather permitting) inside The Cook’s Garden, a working urban farm on Abbot Kinney in Venice. The menu and operation are stripped-down, but the surroundings are so lush, Adam and Eve would have considered booking the place on Airbnb. Still, the main attraction is the excellent wood-fired pizza with puffy, leopard-spotted crust—especially the fennel sausage pie topped with fava greens plucked straight from the planter. Enjoy them at a picnic table while you stare lovingly at a bunny between slices. " - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
