Pizzeria Sei, known for its Tokyo-style Neapolitan pizzas, is preparing to open its second location in the Palms neighborhood. The restaurant’s second location is scheduled to open in West Los Angeles on June 24, 2026.
Pizzeria Sei Opens Second Location in Palms
The new Pizzeria Sei is located at 10700 Tabor Street. The new location offers additional indoor seating and is expected to add outdoor seating. The concept was founded by Chef William (Sang Woo) Joo and his wife and business partner Jennifer So.
The new restaurant is the brand’s first expansion since it opened in Pico-Robertson in 2022.
The Palms location will also offer an expanded menu and a broader wine selection. The list will include a wider selection of regional labels and a larger bottle selection. The additional space allows the team to try out new products and services without compromising on quality.
The bar will primarily offer take-out and delivery options with limited dine-in service. It will also provide space for catering operations and private events. This supports other future initiatives as the Sei brand continues to grow.

Chef William Joo and the Tokyo-Style Neapolitan Concept
Before launching Pizzeria Sei, Joo worked in several notable Los Angeles restaurants. He was born in South Korea and grew up in Los Angeles. He learned his craft at top kitchens such as Via Alloro, Providence, Angelini Osteria, Pizzana, and Ronan.
At Pizzeria Sei, Joo combines traditional Italian ingredients with techniques inspired by Japan’s approach to Neapolitan pizza. Although he did not formally train in Tokyo, Joo developed his style through years of observation and experimentation.
The restaurant’s pizzas are baked at high temperatures in the Neapolitan tradition. The distinctive crimped shaping technique creates a variety of different textures, including airy, tender centers, crisp edges, and lightly charred bubbles.
New menu offerings at the Palms location include scrocchiarella, a thin and crisp Roman-style pizza, and a double-cooked pizza. The additions show Joo’s vision to provide a broader spectrum of experiences for guests while still maintaining the core of Sei.
Growing seating capacity, menu options, and pizza varieties will give guests more to explore. These changes reflect the brand’s evolving vision beyond the original Pico-Robertson location.
