What do y'all think of Mulberry Street Pizza ...

I just happened to be in Encino last night and my kid just happened to say he wanted pizza for dinner. So, I had one eye peeled as we drove up Ventura and there was a parking spot right in front so we stopped in. The parking spot karma was in effect.

He had a slice of pepperoni and thought it was great.

I had a sausage, pepper and onion here with some marinara on the side and love it. I haven't lived in Brooklyn in over 30 years, but it actually brought back memories. (The NY Post on the counter helped.)

The kid ordered two slices and only ate one. Wife had the other at room temperature and liked it just fine an hour later.

Anyone else dig this place? I want to go back and try the meatball hero.

I really like it and am sad that Richie Palmer's (owned by the same people) closed in Santa Monica. Some say the crust is too thin to be called "NY style." But as someone who ate a lot of pizza when I lived in NYC, I find that criticism nonsensical. Try a sausage and mushroom pie well done -- delish.

I loved it (BH location). Granted, only been a couple times, but I think it was the best NY-style pizza in LA. Yes, better than Vito's. JMO. Expensive though, but whataya expect in BH...

I've only been to the ones in Beverly Hills a few times when I've been in the neighborhood. I wouldn't go out of my way for it. The pizza is fine and consistent but not thrilling, and way, way overpriced.

I agree with the earlier poster who said that D'Amores is better. Mulberry's tastes like very average N.Y. pizza - which is far from a bad thing - but if that's all you're looking for, there are other places in town that won't challenge your wallet as much (e.g., Lamonica's).

don't really good at all, better than lamonica's in my opinion? mayhbe at best, ok pizza even for la. it's probably reminscent of real new york pizza but the bad ones in new york.

mulberry may have been pretty good in the first few years of opening for what it's worth, it's owned by or use to be owned by cathy moriarty, who used to act in a lot of the gangster/wise-guy films. hence, all the headshots of actors she knows.

Love the white pie. Thanks for bringing this up, I might have to hit the BH location on Canon before my class tonight.

As my best friends are ex-New Yorkers we're always on the hunt for a true taste of NY pizza. They dig Mulberry Street Pizza and go often. I find the cheese kind of bland and tasteless, with average marinara, crust is ok. My fave pizza joint which is no longer run by the same guy was Uncle Mike's pizza on Vanowen and DeSoto. Incredible crust, cheese imported from NY and great sauce. Sadly Mike sold the place a year or two ago he was in his 80s and it's just not the same.

I grew up on Mike's Pizza. Loved the crust - the big bubbles. I've always been bewildered by New Yorker's who insist New York pizza is somehow the end-all of pizza. I've been to New York - this must be something you grow up with.

The best pizza crust I ever had was at a restaurant called Roma's in Tarzana on Ventura. It was so long ago, but there was a sweetness, a lot of virgin olive oil and a slight flakiness - a pastry quality - to the dough.

I am a fan of the spinach/garlic white pizza, but when it is ordered at work, I will usually have a slice of pepperoni or sausage as well. I find it is way better heated up the next day - The crust crisps up real well in a toaster oven. In store, it might be less floppy as well. It is not the best pizza ever, but it is tasty.

While I seldom eat pizza, I used to work across the street from Mulberry Encino, so I tried it and must say it was better than almost any others I have tried, in my admittedly limited exposure.
Seemed to always get the white with spinach which was really good. Not a fan of red sauce, so many selections were not of interest.
Also have 2 locations in bev hls.

Mulberry Street is good but I don't think it's better than D'Amores or Casa Bianca.
