The Downtown LA Lunch Guide

"Lunch at Pizzeria Bianco feels like a hack because you can bypass one of LA's most impossible reservation roulettes—securing a table at this pizza place inside Row DTLA is much easier during the day than it is at night. If you’ve got plenty of time, have a power lunch in one of their wooden booths featuring a superstar antipasti spread and the soppressata pie topped with Gaeta olives. In the event you need some delicious pizza in twenty minutes or less, walk around the corner to the restaurant's spin-off Pane Bianco. This daytime counter-service spot serves the same famous 18-hour fermented dough in slice form, with glorious topping combinations like tart lemon, fontina, rosemary, and juicy red onion."
