Naturally fermented sourdough-crust pies served inside a working shrine to late-'80s and '90s hip-hop, born directly from the Delicious Vinyl record label. The menu rewards groups who order across the specialty range—Slaughtahouse for heat, Rosa for balance—while weekend DJ sets turn the room into something closer to a listening party than a pizza parlor. West Adams regulars treat it as a default gather spot where the crust has actual chew and the walls have actual history.

What makes it special: Born from the Delicious Vinyl hip-hop label, this West Adams pizzeria pairs naturally fermented sourdough-crust pies with walls of authentic hip-hop memorabilia from the '80s and '90s.
Who should go: Groups wanting casual pizza with a hip-hop soundtrack
When to visit: Weekend brunch before 3 PM or weeknight happy hour
What to order: Split a Slaughtahouse for the table, add a Rosa Pizza for contrast, and do not skip the sourdough cinnamon roll bread pudding to close
Insider tip: Grab a table on the patio — it's the most popular seat in the house and pairs perfectly with the old-school hip-hop playlist drifting outside
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only on Adams Blvd and nearby side streets — no dedicated lot. The adjacent lot has no-parking signs. Easy on weeknights, tighter on weekends when DJs draw crowds.
Dress code: Come-as-you-are casual — shorts, sneakers, flip-flops all fine. Laid-back neighborhood pizza joint with hip-hop memorabilia on the walls.
Noise level: Moderate on weeknights with old-school hip-hop playing throughout. Louder on weekends when DJs spin — expect to raise your voice at a table.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Strong options — multiple pizza builds (Margherita, Mushroom, Soul Flower, Pesto, Rosa), full salad menu, Penne with Eggplant, and a Veggie Omelette at brunch.
Vegan options: Limited but available — vegan cheese substitution on any pizza, a Vegan Meatball pizza, housemade Olive Oil Cake, and a Vegan Cookie.
Gluten-free options: One option: Gluten-Free Cheese Pizza ($15).
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if your date loves hip-hop and casual vibes. The walls are covered in golden-era hip-hop memorabilia (the owners run Delicious Vinyl, the record label), old-school rap plays constantly, and DJs spin on the patio on weekends. It's energetic and fun, not intimate or quiet. Great for a low-key, personality-driven date where you're bonding over slices and music — not the move for candlelight conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — during the day it's a walk-up slice counter, so no reservation needed. Evenings and weekends get busier, especially when DJs are spinning on the Boomyard patio. Reservations are accepted if you want to guarantee a spot for weekend evenings. For weekday visits, just walk in.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — the casual, no-fuss pizza-by-the-slice format is naturally kid-friendly. The spacious patio gives kids room to move around, and the neighborhood vibe is relaxed. A dedicated kids menu has not been confirmed, but slices are easy for any age. Best for families during daytime and early evening; weekend nights with DJs skew more toward an adult social scene.
Is it good for groups? Yes — this is one of its strengths. The Boomyard patio has communal-style long tables that fit larger parties comfortably. They also host private events and can accommodate everything from birthday parties to large gatherings. For groups over 6 on a weekend, call ahead at (323) 424-3014 to reserve patio space.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes — the Boomyard is a spacious outdoor patio with communal seating, and it's a major draw. DJs spin there on weekends, turning it into a social hangout. Whether the patio is covered or heated is not confirmed online — call to check if weather is a concern. Dog-friendly status is also not confirmed.
Best For
Better for: Groups splitting whole pies, casual dates with a fun hip-hop atmosphere, quick solo slices at lunch, or weekend hangs with DJs and drinks on the patio.
