Master Critic Review
Mulberry Street Pizzeria
7.9
A San Fernando Valley fixture since 1991, running the New York slice formula with hand-tossed dough and a deep bench of specialty pies. The counter-service setup and outdoor seating work well for families grabbing a quick dinner or NY transplants chasing a familiar fold. Tight parking lot in back, but street options around the corner make it workable.
Must-Try Dishes:
New York Style Pizza, Buffalo Chicken Pizza, Sausage Pizza

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No - this is a casual, quick-service NY-style pizza joint with only 5-6 small tables and counter seating. The atmosphere is more grab-a-slice than romantic dinner. Great for a very casual, low-key date if you both love pizza, but not for an intimate first impression.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - this is a casual pizzeria where walk-ins are the norm. The small space (5-6 tables) can fill up during peak dinner hours, but turnover is quick since it's fast-casual dining. Reservations are accepted if you want to guarantee a table.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes - pizza by the slice is inherently kid-friendly, and the casual atmosphere means noise won't be an issue. The quick service keeps antsy kids happy. Specific kids menu and high chair availability not confirmed online - call ahead if needed.
Is it good for groups? Difficult - the space is very small with only 5-6 tables and counter seating. Groups of 4 or fewer will be fine. For larger groups (6+), consider ordering pies for takeout or delivery instead. No private dining available.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes - outdoor seating is available and dogs are allowed. Specific details about the number of tables, coverage, or heating are not confirmed online - the outdoor area appears modest given the overall small footprint of the restaurant.
