U Street Pizza

U Street is my FAVORITE pizza place in LA! Do yourself a favor and order the Juan Carlos - it is seriously amazing. But so is every other thing on the menu. No exaggeration.

Goood pizza. I had the regular pepperoni pizza and it was kind of salty but my friend had a pizza with a white base and it was good. The Brussel sprouts are the best I've ever had! DELICIOUS. Make sure you park in the parking structure. Parking is limited

We have sampled Chef Chris Keyser’s pizzas before but takeout is not as good as when you eat the pizza out of the oven. The pizza crust is crispy outside and chewy inside. I wonder if this is a result of 2 days dough fermentation My family liked the vodka pepperoni pizza but A-A- Run pizza is my favorite. The green goddess chop salad needed more acid to temper the dressing. The street corn is unique with its chili agrodulce. The meatballs are so, so tender and plays well with the burrata. The risotto rice pudding with cherries and pistachio is a good dessert to finish the meal.

I will say this, throughout my lifetime of travels this is by far the best NY Style Pizza outside of NY. Thin Crust Pepperoni was great! The cooks were awesome and the atmosphere was exciting. If your in Southern California and looking for a great Pie this is your place!!

Right next to Union and across from Tacos 1986, I've been excited to try U Street since they opened. I've seen some mixed reviews on the pizza, but we really enjoyed it. The texture of the dough, the crispiness, the quality of the ingredients, all top-notch. We also really enjoyed the Japanese eggplant. I was glad to try the saffron risotto but probably wouldn't order it again. Also, love the vibe and the hip hop playlist!

My only complaint: we ordered the pepperoni pizza with vodka sauce ($25) but asked to have pepperoni on just one half of the pizza (my wife has been a vegetarian all her life). They would not comply with this request. So we ordered a second pizza, pepperoni with vodka sauce, and asked for no pepperoni. That, they could do. Huh??

I totally understand restaurants reserving the right to not make modifications, or not do "half this, half that" - but it's easy to just not place pepperoni on one half of the pizza, especially when it's a dietary restriction.

So we ended up spending more, and leaving with a lot of leftovers - but overall, we still enjoyed the experience. We'll be back to try more of the menu!
