It’s the fermented chili sauce, and habanero honey they use on some of the other pizzas. Chili sauce is properly hot.

Went last week with my wife, we ordered the Lucifer and the Mushroom. Crusts on both pizzas were great and unlike any other pizza I’ve tried. Really enjoyed the Lucifer, wasn’t expecting that much spice but it works! I love crispy pepperoni, and Lynx does a great job at it. Didn’t love the Mushroom though – found it a little one note with the raw mushrooms taking over. The lemon juice helps, but still in need of some more interesting textures/flavors IMO.
Cocktails were good, on average. Really really enjoyed the Kyoho Grape Sour and Melon Julius. Both of those are contenders for best cocktail in LA. The Clover Club was solid but a little too sweet for me. Didn’t like the Sudachi Daquiri– they added mango to it which really threw off the balance, and I think it needed a lot more acidity.
Timing on pizzas and drinks was good and we didn’t have to wait too long. That being said, the service from Brandyn (also in charge of the drinks) was atrocious… to the point that my wife refuses to return. I still want to try the Sweet Cheesus and Filleti, but I guess I’ll need to find someone else to come back with (@PorkyBelly).
Power rankings:
- Sei
- Lynx
- Apollonia’s
- Quarter Sheets
- Pizzeria Bianco

Wow, would love to know more if you’d share - when I’ve gone service has been….. casual. In a way that I could see people finding a little grating. But nothing atrocious.

I agree on the mushroom, that’s my least favorite.
My top 4 would be Lynx, Sei, Mozza, Gjelina. It’s really close between Lynx and Sei for me but ultimately I prefer the crust at Lynx, even though I’m not completely convinced by the current set of toppings. I like the toppings better at Sei; simpler and more right. I miss the toppings at Leopardo, which weren’t so idiosyncratic and edgy.
