South End, Venice, CA


18160116561487797973
You can get a table most nights of the week without an insane wait. Substitutions won’t be an issue. Servers are helpful. And while you won’t find the kind of life-changing vegetables you would eat elsewhere alongside your pie, that’s not what you’re here for. You’re here for pizza, and a glass of Brunello to go with it.

The Standing Room Restaurant, Hermosa Beach, CA


The Standing Room 2013 01 24 Lunch At The Standing Room Redondo Beach 001
One of the South Bay’s truest hidden gems is The Standing Room, a mega-popular burger outlet tucked into the back of a liquor store. Walk past the chips and the coolers to order up from a selection of massive meals, then avoid standing in the aisle getting ketchup all over by sneaking over to the beach.

Bavel, Los Angeles, CA


7Fc1C63284331398F34B23659Dff08F6
This is the second restaurant from the people behind Bestia. Bavel is in the Arts District, though slightly removed from most of the action, on a quiet corner in an old warehouse that still looks a little like a construction site. The room feels sunny even when you’re sitting down for your 10pm reservation, is full of plants hanging from the ceiling, and has a side patio that almost doubles the size of the restaurant. It’s a place you instantly want to hang out in, and also one that will immediately blur into the background once you start eating.
