When our office moved back to our LA roots last year, it took some time for everyone to get settled around the new hood. Checking traffic times, finding who to car pool with and where to eat for lunch were at the top of the list. To help make this transition a little less incumbent, I let all the departments have a lunch allowance to check out the local scene. Each week, we divide everyone up by groups (the group changes each week) and have them pick a local joint. One person from the group has to send a report back to everyone in the company showcasing their group’s lunch experience. Besides mixing some of the clicks in the office, we’ve found some gems that are worthwhile to check out. Since this is my hood, I’ve been coming to some of these places for years, but stoked that I could finally share it with my fam. There’s too many to list, but one of the favs that our entire crew has been drawn to is “Eatalian.” Yeah, the name is so-so, but the food and ambiance is off the chain. Its literally walking distance from our new headquarters and nestled in a nondescript warehouse. I’m ready to eat

I came here two years ago when it first opened. I either get two things, the Rosemary chicken salad or the Mushroom pizza. I guess its pizza today

Bam! The best thin crusted pizza this side on the left coast. Hint-ask for the fresh arugula to top it off

Save room for their homemade gelato, made fresh everyday
