Our Story

El Gato Negro is an LA pizza pop-up by Chefs Travis Matoesian and Alan Rudoy. Their journey as culinary co-conspirators started in the kitchen at Funke and has since taken the streets with pizzas and bites inspired by their Armenian and Russian-Jewish upbringing (respectively) and their experience working in some of the best LA kitchens including Bavel, Vespertine, and Poltergeist.
