In our humble opinion, Pijja Palace is a razor-sharp distillation of everything great about dining in Los Angeles: fun, not too expensive and, best of all, gloriously unfussy. The Indian-Italian restaurant-slash-sports-bar took the L.A. food world by storm when it opened in 2022, and it's been busy practically ever since. (We recommend trying to snag a reservation or heading here closer to opening.) Whether you're in the mood for wings, pizza or pasta, the playful fusion-style dishes here offer a bounty of textures, colors and flavors. The popular picks are the malai rigatoni, green chutney pijja and dosa onion rings, though you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
