Owner Tommy Brockert named his restaurant in honor of baseball’s beloved ambassador and said he\u2019s adding tables and making space for World Series watchers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was born for this. I take it to another level.. to make it the ultimate experience… And if there\u2019s a place that\u2019s approachable, that\u2019s what I want this to be,\u201d Brockert told LAist.<\/p>\n
Growing from humble beginnings making pizza on his porch for friends and neighbors during COVID, Brockert opened up a Silver Lake pizza counter<\/a> in 2021 before expanding to this Chinatown location last year \u2014 just in time for the Dodgers 2024 World Series win.<\/p>\n \u201cDodger fans have been amazing. You know, we have… regulars who come before or after the game and people who come to just watch the game with their family,\u201d Brockert said.<\/p>\n LaSorted’s in Chinatown.<\/p>\n The third-generation L.A. Dodgers fan said he had a chance meeting with Lasorda\u2019s daughter, Laura Lasorda, at Dodger Stadium earlier this year.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom what I gathered they were very happy with what [the restaurant] means,\u201d he said, adding that he feels a personal connection to Lasorda\u2019s big heart and love for L.A.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
