Advice Needed For Mulberry Street Pizza

Yesterday's "Nine on L.A." Ch. 9 Tv show featured "L.A.'s Top 10 Lunches" with Mulberry Street Pizza being the winner. I've never tried it but plan on going soon---probably on a Saturday afternoon. Can anybody give me some advice because I notice that there are two Beverly Hills locations (on Canon Dr and Beverly Dr). Is one possibly better than the other?---Does one have more seating? I checked their website and notice that they serve only one size of pizza---thin NY-style ($14.95) and Sicilian-style ($25). I'll probably stick to cheese-only but please recommend any toppings that you may have enjoyed.

My advice is to forget about it.
The one on Canon is my choice, and once was enough, but why waste the time/energy/money/calories on mediocre pizza?
I just don't see the hype.
Go a few miles east on La Cienega and eat at Vito's

The Beverly Drive location of Mulberry's has more seating. Other than that, it's a coin flip. I've had great pizza and okay pizza in both. Personally, I prefer the pie over at Vito's on La Cienega. In the Beverly Hills area, I actually prefer the pizza at Frankie and Johnny's, which is a very small place with almost no seating over on Santa Monica Boulevard one block west of Rodeo.

As for toppings, have whatever you usually like on pizza. I go for cheese and sometimes mushrooms and maybe meatballs or sausage. I've never been disappointed with Mulberry Street even if I like some other places better.

I like the eggplant parm and white pie. Eggplant parm was greasy but not in a bad way

this place is great! Stick to the encino or canon location the beverly location sucks! everything is good they will make the pizza to order, personally i love the eggplant. also the pasta on the pizza is really good too

Give me a mushroom slice and I'm content.

Wow.... 5 years later.....

I like their pizza. The eggplant tomato & basil is over-the-top rich, but I like it, even by the slice.

I like the slices too. I'm usually by myself, so I don't get a whole pie.

Also, I like that the topping is less gooey on the reheated slices.

Don't believe everything you see on television. By far -- not my favorite pizza.

Just don't order by the slice. It'll be reheated and mediocre. At least that's what I had the one time I went, so I can't vouch for a whole pie out of the oven.

One word: Jacopo's.

Two words: Jacopo's bloweth.

I have eaten hundreds of Jacopo's pizzas since I was a kid and have never had a bad one. Nice, doughy crust, very little tomato sauce (usually the more sauce the more they are trying to hide), extremely generous toppings, awesome antipasto to start, MMMMMMMMMM!

Doughy crust. You said it. And tomato sauce is usually used as a cover up!!!???

Another vote for Jacopo's, (our local branch is the one at Olympic and Barrington). Pretty darn good pizza and some creative combo's and my wife loves their antipasto salad with the Italian meats and cheeses unchopped.

Yup, that's just how I like it!

Try the medium diet coke.

Like the eggplant, thin

The Sicilian Pizza is really big and heavy, but very tasty. It's great for a big appetite. I wouldn't get more than pepperoni, since it's loaded with cheese and sauce that anything else is going to get lost.

As for the thin pizza, just get it with cheese. Grease from the pepperoni seems to just seep through the cheese onto the crust. The crust on this one seems very chewy like knawing on cardboard.

Hi... I've been to the Beverly Blvd. location. Long narrow space, but with decent-if-basic seating. Lots of regular joes as clients, as well as the affluent divorced weekend fathers making the most of their situation by sharing a slice (of pizza, and their lives) with their bright-eyed and distracted kids. Do not opt for the individual slices, which are re-warmed. Order a fresh pie. Stick to cheese, as their large, thin, and tasty/greasy pizza will get way too floppy if you put pepperoni or sausage atop it. Eat it there. Usually I will dab the excess grease from a pizza, but the thin slick of grease these pies exude convey a lot of flavor, in my opinion. But it's pizza, for god's sake, and not love; it's revelations, though satisfying, are just as ephemeral.. Parking on this stretch of Beverly Blvd. is a biatch, by the way. Afterward, take a long stroll to Al Gelato on Robertson blvd. for even more momentary joy (and calories)... :-)

Is Al Gelato still open?

Have not heard otherwise, but its been some months since my last visit. Others?

Isn't there a NEW gelato place in that area? Near the Museum of Radio and Television.

Yes, it's called Il Cono and it's to die for.
Lychee gelato -- MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
Awesome strawberry, white peach, mixed berry, passion fruit that is so damn sour -- incredibly pricey but that's what money's for!

For parking, your best bet is to park in one of the FREE parking structures (free for 2 hours, I think). There's one on the same (east) side of Beverly Drive, within a block I would say.

Stick with the cheese. Sicilian style was bad and I had the vegetarian which was horrible. I've only been to the one on Beverly. Good amount of seating.
