Some restaurants are built for dinner. Others are built for brunch. This one falls firmly in the second camp.
Set in Los Angeles, CA, Greco's New York Pizzeria has carved out a corner of the city's weekend brunch scene with a personality of its own. The room comfortably seats a mix of solo diners working through a coffee and a newspaper, couples splitting a stack of pancakes, and friend groups settling in for a slow, three-hour Saturday.
There's a small patio out back that fills up the moment the weather turns, and a wait list that moves faster than it looks.
Solo diners should head straight for the counter — the cooks will keep you entertained and the line moves fastest there.
Like a lot of the best brunch spots in Los Angeles, Greco's New York Pizzeria is at its most magical on weekend mornings, when the kitchen is firing on all burners and the room slowly fills with the kind of low, happy hum that only good food and unhurried company can produce. Whether you're a tourist with one weekend in town or a local with a Sunday ritual, this is a place that earns its reputation plate by plate.
