Roy Choi Will Soon Be Dishing Out Pizza At The Line Hotel
Los Angeles food auteur Roy Choi (of Kogi BBQ, Chego and Locol fame) will soon be dishing out pizza in the lobby of his Koreatown Line hotel.
The chef posted a tantalizing photo to his Instagram Friday of a bubbling pan pizza, captioned "R&D round two.
Getting there. POT Pizza Joint opening soon!" The L.A. Times reports that starting in November, pizzas will be available on weekends in the hotel's lobby POT cafe space. The Line is also home to the now-shuttered (but very missed) POT restaurant, as well as the upstairs Commissary restaurant.
Choi's pizza, according to the new website for POT Pizza Joint, will be "a mutant pie," offering a cross between a Detroit, NYC and L.A. slice. "Square but thin. Pan like Chicago but sauce on the bottom. Just a simple straight forward corner slice but this corner is in Ktown," the description continues.

Once operational, the lobby POT Pizza Joint will serve on Fridays and Saturdays, from 6 p.m. "til we run out."
POT Pizza Joint will be located on the first floor of The LINE Hotel at 3515 Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown. (213) 368-3030.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
