You’ll be fine - you should be in the first seating. I went back recently and wasn’t a fan myself but I think it’s just because I don’t love neopolitan.
last time I was there, there were folks at the bar who were walk-ins. but yes, come early to put your name down!
i prefer a new york slice myself but it’s really freaking good and definitely worth the visit!
What’s on the Rivera pizza?
housemade bluefin tuna belly conserva, balsamic onion jam, smoked provola, mayonnaise, caper salsa verde, squid ink olive tapenade, dill, smoked albacore fish floss, lemon zest.
i’m always excited to come here, there’s always something new to try and sergio is constantly tinkering and improving.
korean, vietnamese, italian, japanese, and taiwanese flavors made by a korean-american. in la. who would have thought.
everything was excellent as usual but the new uni pizza, hokkaido scallop and mala garden were my highlights. i hope he’s able to serve his double baked dough on the regular menu at the new location, it’s excellent.
pacing also really improved, dessert course dropped at 9:37pm.
