Review: Dining at Cecconi's, an Iconic Power Lunch Spot in LA

It's one of a kind and I am sure you will love it, piled high with your favorite topping and our freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Mackenzie Benjamin said she hopes with the football season starting up that more people will come in and enjoy their dining area and bar. The pizza shop delivers to the East Providence, R.I., Swansea, Rehoboth and Dighton areas. The Rehoboth House of Pizza menu features tasty appetizers alongside its pizzas. There's stuffed mushrooms, buffalo fingers and wings, tater tots, french fries and onion rings just to name a few.

She said all of her siblings had turns helping out the family business, but that she has been the last one to stick around. Benjamin, eldest son of George Benjamin, bought the business back in 2007 after hearing that the previous owners were looking to sell the business.

"The goal was to get a crispy outside, but still a chewy inside like mochi." We believe that great food shouldn't come at a steep price. That's why we provide generous portions of high-quality ingredients at an unbeatable value. Come in and see for yourself how we're serving up our promise of great value every day.

Each floppy slice had a satisfyingly smoky and charred bottom, adding some great texture. The spicy salami and perfectly cooked mushrooms were a match made in heaven, and the tomato sauce was delicious. While it might have been power lunch hour, few people were in suits or business casual.

Cecconi's has always been a magnet for the A-list and princes. Enzo Cecconi opened the first location in 1978, bringing "fresh pasta, beef carpaccio, tiramisu, and Bellini cocktails" to the British, according to the restaurant's website. He said his wife, Fatima, was in the pizza shop every day during the pandemic cleaning everything and getting everything prepared for when they open their doors again. Benjamin said currently the business is open Tuesday through Sunday from 3 to 8 p.m.

Pizza may not be for everyone, but I guarantee you will find something that you love on our menu. It was a lovely pie and the highlight of the lunch, but you can find even better (and cheaper) pizzas at nearby Pizzana or Jon & Vinny's. Cecconi's cavatelli lamb ragù is $14 cheaper, but it's still a very pricey dish, and the flavors just didn't warrant the expense, in my experience. The cavatelli was chewy, overcooked, and only coated with a light layer of the ragù.

A gloomy sky greeted me as I arrived for lunch on a Friday afternoon.

He said if he can find more help then he will expand his hours, but in the meantime what they have is the best for their business. Benjamin said their pizza is a Greek-style with a thin crust, and the sauce is crushed tomatoes and own blend of spices of salt, sugar, pepper, garlic and oregano. Since 2007, Rehoboth House of Pizza delivers to all homes in Rehoboth and Seekonk every day.

It could be a pizza, pasta, soup/salad combo or even a dessert pizza. The special will be posted on our Facebook and Instagram page. "There's been a lot of people traveling from San Jose down from San Francisco, specifically coming to Burlingame," Mahler added. "They're coming down here and then coming straight here to try mochi pizza for the first time. It's pretty great."

The team focused on pushing boundaries with flavor and finding the tastiest toppings to accentuate the unique texture. Toppings range from soy-braised beef and roasted garlic kimchi to Japanese curry and fresh cilantro. "It's a pizza made entirely of Japanese rice flour, and kind of a mix of different rice flours, but primarily Japanese rice flour," shared Chef Ty Mahler, the Co-Founder of Mochiko Mochi Pizza.

The menu for Rehoboth House of Pizza may have changed since the last user update. Sirved does not guarantee prices or the availability of menu items. Customers are free to download these images, but not use these digital files (watermarked by the Sirved logo) for any commercial purpose, without prior written permission of Sirved. My parents immigrated to the US from Greece, so a love for octopus is ingrained in me.

Cecconi's octopus unfortunately didn't live up to those memories, nor did it come close to some fantastic plates I've had on recent trips to Mexico (Ziggy's octopus in Tulum, I will never forget you). The octopus had a soft texture — no easy feat with such a tricky protein. But the meat was so charred on the outside that it completely overwhelmed the flavor. My drink had a lovely sunny hue that brightened up the very cloudy LA day, with flavors to match. It was a sweet and zingy drink, and the ginger candy garnish was a fun touch. We were seated next to the wraparound bar in front of one of the doors that opened up to the patio.

Two very glamorous older women — perfectly coiffed hair, gold jewelry, Jackie O sunglasses — sat across from us. A group of friends in jeans and sweaters were laughing nearby. A handful of solo diners were enjoying quiet meals at the bar. This latest addition to our menu has already become our customers’ favorite.

A great plate can immediately transport me back to childhood summer days spent in tavernas overlooking the Aegean Sea, our table covered in a seafood feast. One of the highlights of our lunch was the extremely kind waiter, who highly recommended we get a pizza — which ended up being the best dish of the day. I've lived in LA for the past few years but had never dined at Cecconi's. We now live in a hybrid world, but the "power lunch" is due for a comeback.

We also offer gluten-free pizza crust and gift certificates. Soho House took full ownership in 2005, and now there are 13 Cecconi's around the world, stretching from Miami Beach to Mumbai. "We have this this kind of flagship location in Burlingame. And then we have our Palo Alto Sushiritto and our...San Francisco Sushiritto also make the pizzas," said Mahler. There is a reason why our slogan says, "It's Worth The Dough".

I had heard there was a secret Cecconi's burger, but our waiter revealed it only makes special appearances (usually during happy hour). I also inquired about the $26 "Piatto Unico" on the menu, which we learned is a lunchtime special that changes weekly and always features a protein, side, and salad. The phrase "power lunch" can bring to mind a vision of stuffy and dated interiors, but I loved the leather turquoise chairs and black-and-white striped floor in Cecconi's dining room.
