Grá

Tucked away in Historic Filipinotown, Grá feels less like a restaurant and more like you’ve been invited to a dinner party at a friend’s artsy loft space. The warm, hygge-inspired interior immediately puts you at ease, with its intimate atmosphere that makes every visit feel special. This fermentation-focused pizza spot has carved out a cozy niche in the neighborhood, attracting those who appreciate the craft behind a good sourdough crust.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly the White Pizza, a beautifully balanced creation that brings together pistachio pesto, creamy mozzarella, dollops of ricotta, and a drizzle of honey. That interplay of sweet and salty hits all the right notes and showcases the kitchen’s understanding of flavor. The sourdough base provides that satisfying chew and subtle tang that elevates the whole experience beyond your typical pizza night.

Pair your pizza with something from their thoughtfully curated wine list, which leans heavily into skin-contact wines and other natural selections. It’s the kind of place where you can explore interesting bottles while lingering over your meal. The atmosphere is ideal for a casual date night or catching up with a close friend—intimate without being pretentious, relaxed without being boring.

While some menu items don’t quite reach the heights of that memorable white pizza, Grá remains a solid option when you’re craving something a little different from the standard pizzeria fare. Come with realistic expectations about pricing (dinner for two with wine can add up), and you’ll find yourself enjoying a pleasant evening in one of LA’s more underrated neighborhoods.
