People love love love Terroni. It’s simple great Italian food at a decent price set in an atmosphere that embodies the busy city shuffle. It’s incredible success has allowed the owners to have three locations attracting a variety of crowds from the Queen west hipster, the millionaire St. Clair family with obnoxiously loud children and the King West lunch meeting / after work revelry location in the financial district. AND AND AND – they opened a fourth smack in the middle of LA, no doubt attracting huddles of Hollywood salivating over thin crust pizza and their next big idea for a film.

At times, the atmosphere is a tad too frantic for my liking, and you can make a bet that from Thursday to Saturday there will be a line extending to the door. The Queen location does have a sweet back patio that feels extra refreshing with a side of Calamari and some sparkling San Pellegrino.
