Three consecutive years on Opinionated About Dining's Cheap Eats North America list; ranked #346 in 2024 and #351 in 2025; makes Mulberry Street Pizzeria the most credentialed pizza address in Beverly Hills. With low booking difficulty, it is the obvious call for quality pizza on the west side without advance planning.
About Mulberry Street Pizzeria
Verdict: Beverly Hills Has No Business Producing Pizza This Good
Mulberry Street Pizzeria is the most credible pizza address in Beverly Hills and, by most measures, one of the more serious casual pizza operations in all of Los Angeles. Three consecutive years of recognition from Opinionated About Dining's Cheap Eats in North America list; ranked #346 in 2024 and #351 in 2025, with a Recommended nod in 2023; puts it in documented company with the country's leading value-driven restaurants. For food enthusiasts who want a no-fuss, high-quality slice in a zip code better known for expense accounts than honest cooking, this is the place to book.
The Pizza, Contextualised
What makes Mulberry Street worth your time in a city saturated with pizza options comes down to consistency and credibility. The OAD Cheap Eats list is not handed out for atmosphere or novelty, it rewards execution, ingredient quality, the kind of repeat-visit reliability that keeps a neighbourhood address on a national ranking for three years running. Beverly Hills is not a forgiving environment for value-driven concepts: rents are high, foot traffic is tourist-heavy, the temptation to cut corners on sourcing is real. That Mulberry Street has held its position on a sourcing-conscious guide through 2023, 2024, 2025 says something concrete about how the kitchen approaches its ingredients.
The address, 240 S Beverly Dr, puts it on the walkable commercial stretch of Beverly Hills, accessible from West Hollywood or Century City without much effort. For visitors staying in the area, it is a practical lunch or early dinner option that does not require a reservation weeks in advance. Compare that to Providence or the city's more demanding fine dining rooms, Mulberry Street represents exactly the opposite kind of commitment: low friction, low cost, high return.
Los Angeles has strong competition in the pizza tier. Cosa Buona in Echo Park draws strong local loyalty. Prime Pizza handles the by-the-slice crowd well. 800 Degrees Pizza competes on speed and customisation at the fast-casual end. Mulberry Street occupies a different lane: it has the credentialed recognition that those operations largely lack, it is operating in a neighbourhood where the competition for quality pizza is notably thin. If you are in or near Beverly Hills, there is no sensible reason to look elsewhere for pizza.
Who Should Book
Food-focused travellers with an afternoon in Beverly Hills will find this a reliable detour that does not demand much planning. Locals who have written off the area as a pizza desert should reconsider, three years of OAD recognition is not a fluke. Groups, solo diners, pairs all fit comfortably in the casual-pizzeria format. If you are building a broader Los Angeles eating itinerary, pair a Mulberry Street visit with deeper stops from our full Los Angeles restaurants guide.
For context on what high-end pizza looks like elsewhere: Ken's Artisan Pizza in Portland and Pizza Strada in Tokyo operate in a similar credentialed-casual register. Mulberry Street belongs in that conversation. It is not trying to be The French Laundry or Le Bernardin, it is trying to make very good pizza in a neighbourhood that rarely demands it, by the evidence available, it is succeeding.
Practical Details
Mulberry Street Pizzeria sits at 240 S Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. Booking difficulty is low, walk-ins are generally manageable at a casual pizzeria of this type. Specific hours and pricing are not confirmed in our current data, so verify before visiting. For broader trip planning, explore our Los Angeles hotels guide, bars guide, wineries guide, and experiences guide. If you want noodles nearby, AFURI ramen + dumpling is worth knowing about for the same casual-but-credentialed register. This is a neighbourhood pizzeria with three years of Opinionated About Dining recognition, it is a strong choice for a relaxed birthday dinner or a low-key celebration, but it is not an occasion restaurant in the way that Smyth in Chicago or Emeril's in New Orleans might anchor a milestone evening. If the occasion calls for serious atmosphere, look elsewhere. If it calls for genuinely good food without ceremony, Mulberry Street is a sound call.
How far ahead should I book Mulberry Street Pizzeria?
Booking difficulty here is low. For a casual Beverly Hills pizzeria, same-day or next-day reservations are typically achievable, walk-ins are generally viable outside peak dinner hours. This is one of the easier quality-credentialed restaurants in Los Angeles to get into without forward planning, a genuine advantage over the city's more in-demand tables like Hayato or Kato, which require weeks of lead time.
Does Mulberry Street Pizzeria handle dietary restrictions?
Specific menu details and dietary accommodation policies are not confirmed in our current data. Contact the restaurant directly before visiting if dietary restrictions are a deciding factor. As a pizzeria, vegetarian options are typically available as standard, but allergen-specific requests should always be confirmed in advance.
What are alternatives to Mulberry Street Pizzeria in Los Angeles?
Cosa Buona in Echo Park is the closest peer in terms of neighbourhood pizza credibility. Prime Pizza works well for by-the-slice convenience. 800 Degrees Pizza is faster and more customisable but lacks the same critical recognition. If you are open to stepping outside the pizza category for a value-driven experience, Holbox is one of the most compelling $$ restaurants in the city. None of these alternatives, however, combine the OAD recognition with the Beverly Hills location that makes Mulberry Street specifically useful for visitors staying west-side.
Can I eat at the bar at Mulberry Street Pizzeria?
Bar seating configuration is not confirmed in our current data. As a casual pizzeria format, counter or bar seating is plausible but not guaranteed. Verify directly with the restaurant if solo bar dining is your preferred setup.
What should I order at Mulberry Street Pizzeria?
Specific menu items are not confirmed in our data, Pearl does not invent dish descriptions. What the OAD Cheap Eats recognition does tell you is that the core offer, pizza, is what earned the credential, so ordering the pizza here is not a question worth overthinking. Trust the format and let the kitchen's three-year track record guide you toward the house-style pies rather than peripheral items.
Can Mulberry Street Pizzeria accommodate groups?
The casual pizzeria format is generally group-friendly, there is no evidence in available data suggesting this is a small or counter-only space. For groups larger than six, it is sensible to call ahead and confirm capacity and any reservation requirements. Specific seat count and private dining options are not confirmed in our current data.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Mulberry Street Pizzeria reads like a New York slice shop transposed into Beverly Hills, an appealing friction that defines its personality. It leans into an unpretentious, casual register — foldable slices, straightforward toppings and pricing that encourages frequent visits. The space registers as a neighborhood counter rather than a destination dining room: brisk, familiar and tuned to quick comfort rather than culinary theater. That sense of small-scale, reliable pleasure is the point; the pizzeria trades spectacle for familiarity, offering the kind of easy, unflashy pizza that feels exactly right when you want a fast, satisfying bite.
Best For
This is a neighborhood stop built for short, purposeful visits: solo lunches, after-work aperitifs and quick pre-dinner slices before a later reservation. Its placement on South Beverly Drive ties it to everyday errands and early evening crowds, so it works well as a convenient bite rather than a long-form destination. Families and groups can drop in for familiar, shareable pies, but the strongest use case is the solo or two-person counter visit between late afternoon and early evening when the shop’s slice logic really shines.
Ordering Tips
Stick to the classics: the NY Style Cheese Slice and Pepperoni Pizza are reliable first orders, and the signature list rewards straightforward choices. If you want something lighter, try the White Pizza with Spinach; for a heartier option consider the Eggplant Parm or Chicken and Jalapeno pizzas. The menu’s focus on repeatable slices makes single-piece sampling easy — pair a slice with a drink during the early-evening window to get the full aperitivo-like effect described in the room’s framing.
Venue details
Ambiance

Restaurant context
Mulberry Street Pizzeria and the comparison venues on this page are operating in entirely different price tiers, which makes direct competition less relevant than knowing when each is right for you. Kato, Hayato, Vespertine, and Sushi Kaneyoshi are all $$$$ operations requiring weeks of advance booking and meaningful per-head spend. Mulberry Street is an easy walk-in at a fraction of the cost. If your evening calls for a serious tasting menu or omakase, those venues are the better call. If you want credentialed, low-effort eating in Beverly Hills, Mulberry Street is the answer in its category.
The closest value-tier comparison is Holbox, which like Mulberry Street occupies the $$ band and carries genuine critical recognition. Holbox is a stronger choice if Mexican seafood is what you are after, it draws a more food-enthusiast crowd in Mercado La Paloma. For pizza specifically, Mulberry Street has no credentialed rival in the Beverly Hills and West Hollywood corridor; which is precisely what makes it useful to know about.
For explorers building a full Los Angeles eating itinerary, the practical split is straightforward: book Kato or Hayato for a high-investment dinner that requires planning, use Mulberry Street as your casual anchor on days when you want quality without logistics. The OAD recognition on both ends of the price spectrum confirms Los Angeles rewards that two-track approach.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mulberry Street Pizzeria good for a special occasion?
Not really. This is a casual pizzeria ranked on the OAD Cheap Eats list; the format and price point are built for relaxed meals, not milestone dinners. If you need a Beverly Hills address for a celebration, look elsewhere. Mulberry Street earns its place as a reliable, low-ceremony lunch or dinner stop, not a destination for occasions that require a reservation and a dress code.
How far ahead should I book Mulberry Street Pizzeria?
Walk-ins are generally the move here. As a casual pizzeria at 240 S Beverly Dr, Mulberry Street does not operate on the weeks-out reservation model you'd expect from a tasting-menu room. Off-peak hours on weekdays carry the least risk; Beverly Hills foot traffic can make weekend lunches busier than they look.
What are alternatives to Mulberry Street Pizzeria in Los Angeles?
If you're after serious pizza in LA, the OAD Cheap Eats list; which has ranked Mulberry Street every year from 2023 to 2025; is a useful guide to peer-level options across the city. For something in a completely different register, Holbox in the Mercado La Paloma is an OAD-recognised seafood counter that competes on the same value-conscious, quality-first terms, just in a different cuisine category.
Can I eat at the bar at Mulberry Street Pizzeria?
No bar seating is documented. Mulberry Street operates as a casual pizzeria, so the format is likely counter service or table seating rather than a bar-with-food setup. If solo dining flexibility is a priority, arrive early and expect to take whatever is available.
What should I order at Mulberry Street Pizzeria?
Specific menu items are not documented in available venue data, so any dish-level recommendation would be speculation. What is documented is that Mulberry Street has earned OAD Cheap Eats recognition three consecutive years (2023–2025), which points to consistent execution rather than a one-hit menu. Go for whatever the pizza-forward staples are; this is not a venue where the sides are the point.
Can Mulberry Street Pizzeria accommodate groups?
As a casual Beverly Hills pizzeria, Mulberry Street can likely handle small groups without issue, but large parties should call ahead given the informal format and no documented private dining capacity. For groups with a mix of dietary needs or a need for seated event space, this is probably not the right fit; the value here is in its simplicity, not its event infrastructure.
