Pizzeria Sei Expands to Palms: Why One of America's Best Pizza Spots Is Worth the Drive

If you've been searching for the next restaurant that's actually worth fighting Los Angeles traffic for, your answer just got bigger.

Pizzeria Sei, already considered by many critics and pizza enthusiasts to be one of the best pizzerias in America, has officially moved into a spacious new home in Palms, giving diners more seating, more menu options, and even more reasons to visit.

For food lovers throughout South Los Angeles County, Long Beach, the Harbor Area, and the South Bay, this is exactly the kind of destination restaurant that's perfect for a weekend lunch, casual date night, or pizza pilgrimage.


From Hidden Gem to Los Angeles Pizza Destination

For years, Pizzeria Sei quietly operated from a tiny storefront in Pico-Robertson. Despite its modest size, the restaurant built an almost legendary reputation among pizza lovers, frequently appearing on national "Best Pizza" lists.

Now, the restaurant has expanded into a significantly larger location in Palms, while the original storefront remains open under the new name Sei Pizza Bar.

The move allows guests to finally enjoy a full sit-down dining experience without the notoriously long waits that became part of the original location's charm.


Three Distinct Pizza Styles Under One Roof

One thing that separates Pizzeria Sei from most pizza restaurants is its dedication to multiple regional Italian styles.

Neapolitan Pizza

The signature style remains a beautifully blistered Neapolitan pizza featuring airy, chewy crusts and carefully selected ingredients that let every flavor shine.

Montanara

Less common in Los Angeles, the Montanara begins with lightly fried dough before finishing in the oven, creating a crispy exterior with an incredibly soft interior.

It's indulgent—but unforgettable.

Scrocchiarella

Perhaps the biggest standout is the Roman-inspired Scrocchiarella, known for its paper-thin, crispy crust that delivers incredible texture in every bite.

This style is much harder to find in Southern California, making Pizzeria Sei one of the few places where diners can experience authentic Roman pizza without leaving Los Angeles.


More Than Just Pizza

The expanded kitchen also means a larger menu.

Start with:

  • Supplì served with creamy vodka sauce
  • Chicken croquettes made with Jidori chicken and béchamel
  • House-made giardiniera
  • Gem lettuce salad with white miso dressing
  • Broccolini served alongside rich bagna càuda

These appetizers transform the restaurant from a quick pizza stop into a complete dining experience.


Why It's Worth the Drive from South LA County & Long Beach

One of the best parts about living in South Los Angeles County is being close enough to experience some of Southern California's best restaurants without making a full-day trip.

From Long Beach, Carson, Torrance, Inglewood, Gardena, Compton, and the Harbor Area, Pizzeria Sei is an easy destination for:

  • Weekend lunch adventures
  • Date nights
  • Family dinners
  • Pizza enthusiasts looking for nationally recognized restaurants
  • Foodies exploring LA's newest dining destinations

If you're already planning a day on the Westside, adding Pizzeria Sei to your itinerary is an easy decision.

Final Slice

Los Angeles has no shortage of pizza restaurants, but very few earn the kind of national recognition Pizzeria Sei has achieved.

Its move into a larger Palms location marks an exciting new chapter—not only giving loyal fans easier access, but introducing even more diners to one of Southern California's most celebrated pizza experiences.

Whether you're a lifelong pizza fanatic or simply looking for your next memorable meal, Pizzeria Sei deserves a spot at the top of your restaurant list.
