I came to this place because it was close to the Orpheum for a show and it delivered what I wanted. I wouldn't say this is overhyped, I think it delivers what it claims - a quality pinsa made the way the restaurant claims is a tradition. They also claim the wheat flour is imported from Rome, not sure if that would truly make a total difference.

The lunch special is hard to beat - for only $15 you get a salad (subtlely oiled and salted), a beautiful and generously sized margherita pinsa (well cooked with nice chewy dough), and an espresso.

Location is less than desirable on a side street next to a plethora of homeless people. After the sun sets, it may not be the kind of street to walk down for some folks.
