I came here on a Thursday for lunch for a networking event, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the restaurant is located across the street from Villa Blanca, and looked much nicer than VB did. The interior is very nice, very Beverly Hills, and so are the prices. It is an Italian restaurant, and I saw they had a few pizzas on their menu, so I decided I just might as well try it. I had never heard of this place before the email for the networking event, but there was a small chance that it could be a hidden treasure trove of pizza so I decided to take that chance. Since I was at a networking event with a bunch of women lawyers, I didn't want to be obnoxious and take tons of photos so I only managed to snap one pic of my pizza before I started eating. All the other women basically ordered salads of course, but that's just not me. I ordered the bacon & egg pizza. 

"Bacon & Egg, Fontina Cheese, Prosciutto, Sage, Tomato Sauce" ($22)

I thought the pizza sounded great because I liked all the ingredients, AND it had sauce. By one look at the one photo, I think you can tell it was disappointing. Like I said, I knew it was just an Italian restaurant so I didn't get my hopes up too high, but this was just not good. Especially for $22, absolutely not. The meats were overcooked, the egg was okay but it was the only flavor in the whole pizza. The sauce was minimal and didn't taste like much and the cheese left much to be desired. The only thing I liked about the pizza was that it was cut into quarters and which is great for folding. However, this pizza didn't really need to be folded because the crust was so hard that it just pretty much cracked in the middle. The dough was not good and overcooked, and I would rather spend $22 on a large pizza from round table. 

Overall, my pizza was terrible. I can't speak for any of the other pizzas but I probably will not be trying any of those. I'm sure the pastas here are good, as well as the sandwiches (I did try someone's truffle potato chip, which was delicious), but I would probably never come back here again unless another networking event is scheduled here. 

Crust: cardboard

Cheese: whatever

Sauce: minimal, caked into the dough

Best Part: the egg?

Recommend: do not get pizzas here
