Pitfire Pizza Company

For those of you who hang out in Downtown LA and Little Tokyo a lot, I know you've seen this place. Pitfire Pizza is the type of restaurant that always looks tempting, but can never take the place of your true purpose for being in the area: Japanese food. I'm not going to say it is, but this review might make you think twice before passing it by as always.

Located on the same block as Edison, Pitfire Pizza is that new-looking restaurant on the corner of 2nd and Main. What I initially assumed was a sit-down service was instead more of a high-end fast-casual environment, where you place your order at the front, take a seat, and they bring you your food when it's ready. Not that I really care.

The pizza isn't quite Mozza, but moreso CPK-like. And it was good. We got this deal where you order a 12 or 14 inch pizza and get a pitcher of beer for less than $20 if I remember correctly. Not a bad deal at all. Throw in salad and you got more than enough to eat for two people. They also have daily/weekly specials based on what's fresh in the markets. They even have some organic pizzas for you hippies out there.

So if you happen to frequent the Little Tokyo area quite often and aren't really feeling sushi, Pitfire Pizza could be a good change of pace/taste for you. I would rate this place 7/10.
