Call me crazy but I really like Damiano's Mr. Pizza. It's totally sketchy, and usually kind of dirty, and it's dark, and they play Jack FM too loud, and even if you're sober it gives you the feeling of being in the midst of an all-night binge. The delivery people all look like junkies and there's a rotating cast of fresh-faced waitresses who just got off the Greyhound bus like in the Welcome To The Jungle video. I've encountered tranny prostitutes in there on dates, and at certain times of the night all the customers are on drugs. But it feels like a bit of a safety zone because everyone is cool when they are eating pizza. I consider myself a bit of a pizza connoisseur and I think theirs is really good in the NY style, and the place is super cheap. It's open really late too.

also in little tokyo: koraku (2nd and san pedro, up the street from haru ulala) may not be the best ramen in the neighborhood (that prize goes to daikokuya, def) but it is by far the best ramen house open until at least 4am. oh and there's a great noodle house open late in chinatown...but i don't remember the name or the address. all's i know is there is a giant sad fish swimming in a tiny tank by the door, and if i were drunk and it was in the wee hours and i was somewhere near the chinatownland sign, i could lead you to it. NEVER order the reuben at the brite spot, though.
