Review: Dining at Cecconi's, an Iconic Power Lunch Spot in LA

You’ve got a handful of solid pizza options in Hayes Valley including Doppio Zero’s floppy Neapolitan-style pies and Paxti’s deep-dish specimens. But Gioia Pizzeria does New York-style pizza with California fresh ingredients, which makes it perhaps your best option for takeout, popping in for a slice, or splitting a pie for a casual dinner. Fans appreciate the not-too-thick, not-too-thin crust with just the right amount of chew. Chef Chris Bianco has long split his time between LA and Phoenix, and he’s even growing his brand locally with Pane Bianco for slices and sandwiches nearby at the same Row DTLA complex. The main Pizzeria Bianco serves the chef’s famed wood-fired pizzas while Pane Bianco serves slices during the day.

There’s a second Montesacro outpost in the Marina, but the original SoMa location sports a rustic-chic atmosphere that can’t be beaten. Here, the pies are round and the dough is fluffy because these are Roman-style pinsas prized for their light-as-air texture. The menu offers more than a dozen topping options including vegetarian and more meaty combos like the Casa Bertone, which comes crowned with mozzarella, guanciale, pecorino, and chestnut honey.

“In order to determine if it’s an emergency, the employee has to read the email,” she said. “If you’re a client-facing industry, this could be a very hard law to jibe with your business,” said Susan E. Groff, attorney with Jackson Lewis P.C. The arguments proponents have made in support of the measure apply largely to exempt employees, said Ashley Hoffman, senior policy advocate for the California Chamber of Commerce.

The bill calls for employers and employees to establish what counts as “nonworking hours” by written agreement, but doesn’t set any limits on how they define that term. “As exempt employees, we’re paid a salary for doing our work whenever we need to,” she said. Some days, that might mean leaving mid-afternoon to pick up a child from school and then logging into work later that evening to finish up the day’s to-do list. Architect Ken Ungar, whose portfolio largely features high-end modern farmhouse-style residences, will design a home for the couple, Architectural Digest reported.

This New Haven pizza specialist works out of the Glen Arden Club patio in Glendale. Expect blistered pies topped with all the familiar classics, including pepperoni, ricotta cream with sausage, and clams. Those in the know should pre-order online for darkly burnished, thin, delicious pies.

Payment Options

Salaried employees typically have more flexibility with no strictly set work schedule like the one the bill requires employers to establish. Cecconi's cavatelli lamb ragù is $14 cheaper, but it's still a very pricey dish, and the flavors just didn't warrant the expense, in my experience. The cavatelli was chewy, overcooked, and only coated with a light layer of the ragù. My parents immigrated to the US from Greece, so a love for octopus is ingrained in me. A great plate can immediately transport me back to childhood summer days spent in tavernas overlooking the Aegean Sea, our table covered in a seafood feast.

Be sure to keep an eye on the business's Instagram for limited-run specials such as a char siu pizza and cheesy beef sandwiches. Classic New York City-style pizza joint Vito’s has multiple locations around town — from its West Hollywood original to the Westside and Downtown. The large, thin crust pies are terrific for sharing with the family.

Communications

Labor groups TechEquity and the United Food and Commercial Workers back the measure. But several major business groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce and Society for Human Resource Management, oppose it. Served alongside peppadew peppers, which added a kick of heat, the octopus was begging for something to brighten up the plate — whether it be a cooling sauce or a bigger splash of acidity.

Don’t be afraid to add a few sides of pasta for take home perfection. Casual offshoot Gjelina Take Away (otherwise known at GTA) offers some of the crustiest and most flavorful pizza on the Westside for delivery. Wood-fired pizzas are the thing at Cosa Buona, Echo Park’s corner operation that also offers delivery drinks and other at-home staples like mozzarella sticks. Employees also could feel pressure by the nature of their jobs to continue monitoring and responding to after-hours communications, even if the law theoretically says they don’t have to. The US Department of Labor is close to finalizing a rule to expand federal overtime protections, but would still cover a smaller portion of workers than California’s law. The California bill would apply to salaried as well as hourly workers, which is a strange policy choice that would complicate compliance, said employment attorney Joy Rosenquist of Littler Mendelson P.C.

He grew up eating slices in Philadelphia and wanted to bring a similar setup to Los Angeles. Bestia and Barbuto chef Melissa López developed pies with sausage and mushroom, straight-up cheese, or pizza with Chinese sausage, speck, pepperoni, and sambal. Plenty has been said about chef Daniele Uditi’s neo-Neapolitan pies.

Expect a thin crust with the right amount of chew, and a selection of composed pies like the Yukon Gold with potatoes, bacon, red onions, thyme, and gorgonzola. Perhaps the most quintessentially Bay Area pizza place on this list, worker-owned cooperative Arizmendi serves a different pizza every day. Its sourdough crust, whole-milk mozzarella, and fresh seasonal, organic vegetables sell by the half or whole pie. The Ninth Avenue location is temporarily closed until the end of March 2024, but the Valencia location (as well as Arizmendi’s sister coops in the East Bay) will keep the pies going. You can categorize the pizzas as Grandma-style, meaning they’re thin-crusted squares topped with an unexpected mishmash of ingredients like ground beef and Takis or salt cod and potato.
