Olivia reopened in Koreatown this week with a new look. Along the way, the Danny Oh, Mario Alberto, and Anderson .Paak-owned restaurant has added a few non-vegetarian menu items to the still-mostly-vegetarian menu.

These items include crispy chicken with oyster mushrooms, house pickles, and aji amarillo; pizza with shrimp, corn, and piquillo peppers; different pizza pies starring bacon, pepperoni, and merguez sausage; spaghetti in white sauce with mushroom bacon; fried olives with truffle honey, Aleppo chile, and whipped macadamia ricotta; and the "Anderson Pizza" with housemade kimchi, gruyere, Beemster gouda, and jalapeno.
