Run by namesake chef Michael Fiorelli (most recently of Olivetta), this wood-fired outdoor pizza operation pops up inside the Cook’s Garden on Abbot Kinney four days a week (Thu–Sun 1–7pm). Together with business partner Liz Gutierrez, the founding chef of Manhattan Beach’s Love & Salt is serving Neapolitan-style pies with seasonal toppings. While we enjoyed the pizzas—particularly the fennel sausage topped with leafy greens—the reason to come is the charming setting: an urban farm with rabbits, chickens and lush passion fruit vines dangling overhead. Towards the back, well-appointed planter boxes grow tomatoes and other veggies for nearby restaurants like Atla and Scopa Italian Roots. Take a seat at the bright blue picnic tables and order a pizza alongside sides like tinned fish, fancy potato chips and chili garlic cucumbers for a relaxed, tasty afternoon meal.
