How to book Pizzeria Sei

Pizzeria Sei is run by chef William Joo and his wife and partner Jennifer So^1,2. Joo was born in South Korea and grew up in Los Angeles, and he cooked at Providence, Ronan and Pizzana before opening his own place^1,3. The restaurant opened in 2022 on Pico Boulevard in Pico-Robertson^1,2. On June 24, 2026 a larger dining room opened at 10700 Tabor Street, at Overland, in Palms, and the original Pico space now runs as Sei Pizza Bar^1,2.

The pizza takes a Neapolitan base and filters it through the Japanese style of the form, though Joo did not train in Tokyo². Pies bake fast at high heat and the rim is crimped by hand, which gives soft, airy patches, crisp edges and charred bubbles¹. The menu includes a Margherita, the 4 Culture Diavola, the Mala Garden, the Riviera and a potato pie topped with caviar^2,4, with starters such as corn croquettes, supplì and Iberico meatballs^3,4. A gochujang romesco nods to the chef's Korean background⁴. Pizzeria Sei is listed in the Michelin Guide and was ranked No. 2 on 50 Top Pizza USA^2,5.

The Palms room is dine-in only and opens Wednesday to Sunday from 4 to 10pm^1,3. Tables are released every day at noon, one week ahead, and the few walk-in seats can mean a wait of a couple of hours or more; The Infatuation found walk-ins more likely after 8pm^3,4.
