Studio City is its own delivery zone and both ZIPs are in it, 91604 and 91608. That covers Ventura Boulevard, the Colfax Meadows grid north of it, the streets at the foot of Laurel Canyon and the blocks around Woodbridge Park.
Most orders come from the flats behind the boulevard. In Colfax Meadows it is a weeknight family table: a couple of pounds of crawfish, a pound of shrimp, corn and chickpeas to make the pot stretch. Up at the foot of Laurel Canyon the orders come in later and smaller, two people and one tray. And the CBS Studio Center side orders in bulk, for a room that has been in there since call time.
Live in the tank. Boiled to order, or packed live and raw for your own pot.
ZIP codes we deliver to in Studio City
Down the 101, roughly eight miles, usually about eighteen minutes behind the wheel. The driver comes off at Coldwater Canyon or at Laurel Canyon depending on which side of the grid you are on. Between five and seven the southbound queue at the Ventura interchange is the one thing that stretches the run, and at that hour the boulevard itself is worse than the freeway, so he cuts through the Colfax Meadows side streets where he can. If your address is a hillside street at the foot of Laurel Canyon, where the road narrows and there is nowhere to stop, leave a line about parking.
Every tray is sealed at the pot and rides out in an insulated carrier, so the drive costs the boil as little heat as it can.

Neighbourhoods we run to
Your boil, your call
Pick a heat level, from No Heat to LA Inferno. Then salt: light, regular or extra. Every item on the menu is finished the way you asked, not the way the pot ran that night.
Studio City is where the people who work at the studios go home. Colfax Meadows is a flat grid of single-family houses and morning school traffic. Ventura Boulevard feeds half the Valley, and CBS Studio Center sits right behind it. The farmers market pulls the neighbourhood outdoors on a weekend morning. Evenings are quieter than the boulevard would suggest: a table on the patio, the kids' portion ordered at No Heat, and one person at the table taking LA Inferno to make a point.
What we boil
Every order ships with gloves, crab crackers, scissors, a table cover and a shrimp deveiner.
Questions people from Studio City ask
When is the best time to order on a weeknight, and on a weekend?
On a weeknight, before four or after seven. The run is eight miles of 101 and almost nothing else, so the evening peak is the one thing that stretches it. Weekends are easier on the freeway and slower on the ground: Ventura Boulevard crawls, and Sunday morning the farmers market crowd takes the side streets with it.
How do I reheat what is left, and how long does it keep?
Two days in the fridge, sealed, and reheat it wet. Crawfish go into a covered pan with a splash of water over low heat, or a few minutes in a steamer. A microwave dries the shells and splits the garlic butter. What you put away tonight was boiled tonight, eighteen minutes down the 101, not held under a lamp.
How much notice do you need for a backyard full of people in Colfax Meadows?
Under a dozen people, the same evening usually works. Over twelve we need 48 hours to build the spread. The Set for Eight, $389.99, is the usual answer for a Colfax Meadows backyard. If the address is up at the foot of Laurel Canyon where the street narrows, say where the driver should stop.
