Slightly tangy. Hard to say more because this pizza was a flavor bomb.
I also want to give a shoutout to the staff. They are all great–really sweet–and we appreciate their efforts and conversation.

Going for our first time on Sunday. Sounds like the must orders are the oysters, cali-prese, and meatballs. Any recommendations on one pizza to go with if the re-marinara is off the menu for now (and we can’t drop $270 
)?

Remember when they billed it as a more casual restaurant lolol

It must be me, but a $270 pizza is absurd. It recalls the $100+ burgers of yesteryear.

Depends on how much of which caviar it includes.
Agreed. At this price point it’s basically $$$$ sign restaurant, seems more expensive than Funke, Osteria Mozza, etc.

Genius strategy…spend way less money on the buildout since you’re billing it as casual “neighborhood joint”, then jack up the prices and profit $$$$
It does seem like a casual place, albeit in a somewhat expensive neighborhood, and some of the dishes without luxury ingredients are in line with, say, Mother Wolf.
But it’s also using a lot of luxury ingredients and the chef used to have a place with three Michelin stars. So $88 black truffle, $110 uni, and $270 caviar pizzas.
uh… waffles are coming?! do tell more.
i’m forever lamenting how LA doesn’t have very many decent waffle options. RIP animal.

and yes, animal had my favoritest waffle. on one of the last dinners there i asked jon to please consider adding it to their j&v menu. sigh. so many restaurants forego waffles because of the kitchen logistics.
