SLICEY'S PIZZA — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Shorter summary: Daughter of an exceptional Korean specialty restaurant, she can make exceptionally tasteful pizzas at exceptionally young age, except that the business hours may not be so reliable.

Okay, so this pizza joint is run by the daughter of the most famous specialty restaurant in Koreatown.

Let me put it this way.

To Koreans living in Los Angeles, if I give my address they do not know where I live. When they put my address into the google map, they still don't know where I live. But as soon as I speak the name of the specialty restaurant - they all knew. All Koreans knew. To some Koreans, they simply come to Los Angeles for her mother's restaurant. And Slicey Pizza is right next to that sanctuary.

And whenever I passed by it was closed 90% of the time. So I always wondered the nature of this pizza shop. How come it's closed all the time but still here? Why don't the Korean restaurant buy this pizza joint and expend and accept more customers so I don't have to wait on line for the lunch hour? That kind of stuff.

Then, I ran Airbnb and I realized that my Airbnb guests loved that Korean specialty restaurant(there, you can get super boost to your testosterone due to the exceptionally highly concentrated protein of mudfish embedded with special Korean herbs), I had no choice but to photograph that exceptional Korean restaurant for my Airbnb listing.

That was when I met this early twenty or at the most mid-twenty-ish Korean-American woman who inquired why I was photographing that exceptional restaurant. So I gave her the exceptional reason above, and I inquired who she was. She was the daughter of that legendary restaurant. And also happened to be the owner of that Pizza place.

So I had to try the pizza.

After all, her mother's restaurant just occupies very special place for Koreans in Los Angeles - there's basically sentiment amongst Korean immigrant that original stuff from Korea's better. That could be true, but sometimes, stuff in America could be equivalent or better. Her mother's restaurant defines that claim amongst Korean immigrant and their visitors from S. Korea. That restaurant was the PRIDE for Korean immigrants in LA. And, I happened to just encounter the daughter who happened to be running the pizza joint.

So I had to try it.

And my verdict is - okay, yeah, pretty good. Solid. Yeah, the dough is crisp and there's just the right amount of tomato sauce - making pizza tomatoely and instead of cheesy or oily. And enough cheese and topping to fill for the most part. Homemade feeling for sure. Definitely better than franchise goods or iced pizza. My friends love it, too. So I could easily conclude; just like her mother, the young owner of this pizza parlor knows how to make solid pizza. The nature vs. nurture issue does not argue here; they become twin.

EXCEPT I WAS WRONG.

This pizza place hardly opens. And somehow, at certain extend of time, you cannot even order the pickup from the app. You could have only ordered for delivery and that kind of stuff. So for the last month or so, I tried at least five or six times to order a pizza from here and was not either possible. That freaking app almost gives you - the restaurant will open in another 11 minutes? Freaking bs. I wasted a lot of time. I even ordered from the grubhub once, and I got the notification that it was ready for pick up and when I went there the restaurant was not open. Yup, it was not open contrary to what the app was telling me. I was pissed, so many times. Some of my friends came over with some real good beer, and I wanted real good pizza and app simply freaking pushes the opening hours on and on...

Today, I ordered again, and this time, I called first to make sure that the restaurant was open. It was and as soon as I went there, I was slightly worried that it was not opened, as the sign was off and etc. It was open and I got the pizza and man, it was what I missed in life!

Taste.

If you find it open, make sure you get some. Others, be cautious. They may not be open for...

Don't go to Dominoes or Pizza Hut, they are advertising cheap specialty pizza, but we can agree that it's often too greasy, cheese seems like plastic and or our bodies feel gross after eating it. But now that I have found Sliceys. Rare to find such an all-around delicious and humble pizza place that isn't only staffed with some of the nicest people but also that they do their menu well. Every time I go in and grab a pizza, I'm fully satisfied with the uniquely tasteful and perfect thickness to my pizza dough and crust. The sauce isn't overwhelming which leaves all the flavors being compounded into the party of toppings. Hawaiian, well,some thinks it's a blasphemous pizza, i think it's flipping legit! They do it right at Sliceys. I've had the pepperoni (fav) also, not too greasy and delicious every bite. In ktown, best...

Ordered from here through grubhub the other day and the grubhub driver messed up all over the place. I never got their name but the heaven sent person at Slicey’s absolutely killed it. They dealt with grubhub personally and had them find me a new driver and kept me posted every step of the way and still got me my dinner tasting good. Honestly some of the best service I’ve had in a minute. The food is delicious, wings are unmatched and the pizza is nostalgic and great. Cannot recommend them enough. If you’re ordering from there, order through their website rather than through the app, helps them out a bit extra and the deserve it all. Thank you again to the person who helped me out, never got your name but you are...
