Oste is a Roman-style pinsa restaurant on West Third Street in Los Angeles‘s Beverly Grove neighborhood. In a city full of Neapolitan and Detroit-style pizza, it has built a loyal following around pinsa, the oval, airy flatbread from Rome, along with Italian plates and cocktails that suit a relaxed date night or a meal with friends.
The kitchen makes its dough from a blend of rice, soy and wheat flours with no GMO grains, according to Oste. The dough is highly hydrated and cold-fermented for a long time. The result is a light, easily digestible crust with a crisp, crackling bite, which Yelp reviewers mention again and again across more than 1,400 reviews. Pinsas arrive with classic and creative toppings, and the menu also includes Italian starters and a cocktail list. The outdoor seating facing Third Street is the most popular spot on mild evenings.
