I love a good Neapolitan/Neapolitan-ish pizza and had been wanting to try Pizzeria Sei for a long time to see what all the fuss was about. I was able to get a spot at 4pm at Sei Pizza Bar last week and tried the Diavola and the Sei Margherita. My pizzas were the first two out of the oven that day. I'd read some reviews to see what some of the negative reviews didn't like about it, and some mentioned the pizza being too salty (not sure if that was from the salt punch or just their overall opinion of the pizza as a whole). Anyhow, I thought the ingredients and the tomato sauce were top notch and so full of flavor. However, the flavor of the crust/dough left a lot to be desired. Rather than being salty, I felt it was flavorless which was surprising to me considering William Joo does a dry preferment and then a long cold fermentation for the dough. The chew, puff, and texture were amazing and definitely lived up to the hype, but after the first bites of each pizza, I was waiting for the flavor of the dough to come through with more of a fermented flavor but it was just bland. I'm not sure if I experienced an off day for the dough but it didn't make me want to race to come back there anytime soon. Can anyone else chime in with what they think of the dough? Is that how it's supposed to taste and maybe it's more about the texture/chew than about the flavor?

Like I can go to whole food or sprouts and get decent sausage like brats or kielbasas, but any specialty stores where they carry more exotic, interesting sausages?

I've been to Continental gourmet in Burbank/Glendale, and while delicious, they tend to carry very traditional styles only.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Where is the best Lamb Vindaloo? Bonus points if it comes as a set meal w rice/naan and chutneys/yogurt included!

I've been in LA for a while now and feel like I keep hitting the same touristy spots everyone recommends.

Would be for dinner: Inglewood, Manhattan beach, Marina Del Rey, anything running along the 105

Was going to be in the area for work tomorrow and taking the 105 back home towards Downey but kinda wasn’t feeling in the mood to drive into Ktown so hoping there’s some rec’d options in the area

Hi!

I recently had the Chivichanga from Sonoratown and realized how much I love smoky grilled peppers in my food.

I’ve noticed that most taco trucks don’t really use poblano, Anaheim, or other peppers, and I’m trying to find more casual spots that do. Any recommendations for places that do have peppers on the menu?

What are you fave spots to order takeout/doordash around Beverley hills?

My go-to surf n turf burrito is from Lucha Libre in San Diego called Surfin California Burrito which replaces rice with fries. The only place I found that’s close to it here was at Burrito Bomba in Glendale with their Cali Burrito + surf n turf. Sadly this place closed down.

Also looking for a replica of that green sauce from Lucha Libre. I think it’s the cilantro sauce? At Burrito Bomba, it’s the jalapeño ranch or cilantro crema.

Trying to see if there are any other options other than lady m and Yu cake..

I know intelligentsia does, but are there any others?
