Oh boy. Every time I see a new post re Lynx I’m like “what is it this time”. Glad to see good news for once.

Does anyone know their corkage policy?

Went last night, had the Lucifer. The pizza was :fire::fire: probably my favorite pizzas in the city right now. It was decently busy too, hope it stays that way!

got @doublestuffedpierogi’fluenced, thanks for the report back.

tried a couple new pies, the sweet cheesus and lucifer. the sweet cheesus is definitely not for everyone, especially for the lactose challenged. there was a lot of cheese, the blue wasn’t too overpowering thanks to the honey, the double cream was cold for a nice temp contrast. i did have to take alternating bites of the center and cornicione just so i wasn’t overwhelmed with cheese. the lucifer was good and came with large slices of tomato and no honey, but i do prefer the satan.

they seemed to have fixed any issues they were having, the pacing was quicker than ever. i might even ask them to slow it down next time.

The Sweet Cheesus is my favorite of any of the pizzas I’ve had from Lynx and Leopardo. Give me one of those and a Dr Pepper, a vanilla milkshake, whatever.

Lucifer was VG but we also prefer the Satan Version. Missed the BeeSting meat+hot honey vibe.

Napoletana, Fileti and Mushroom were pretty close to perfect.

The Sweet Cheesus was brilliant but a little overwhelming. A 1/2 slice would have been a great finish to the meal.

Service was smooth and efficient. Pleased to see them hit their stride.

i would highly anti-recommend the napoletana, the olives, capers, sea salt and anchovies made this almost inedibly salty. it was not this salty on previous visits.

everything else was just as good. highlights were filleti, mushroom and honey soft serve.

I quite like this new version of the Cheesus, I was afraid the blue cheese would be too intense, but I found it worked well with the rest of the pizza. Lucifer might have been my favorite pie of the night though, I like the big slice of heirloom tomato and the guanciale. Although the center was the soggiest of the pizzas on this pie with droop that was harder to manage. If ordering multiple pizzas I would do in order of flavor intensity and start with the mushroom, filleti, Lucifer, and end with the Cheesus.

Agree napoletana was too salty. Skip until they fine tune it more, unless you’re a salt fiend.

Dough has evolved since my first visit earlier, it’s very light and airy.

Cocktails are S-tier in LA IMO. As good or better than Leopardo.

I don’t even like cocktails and the cocktails there are awesome.

How do they compare to Kato? I also loved the cocktail selection at Leopardo.
