From the Basic Benny (similar to a pepperoni pie but the meat is sopressata) to the out-of-the-box the Rabbi (essentially a Reuben sandwich on a pizza) you’ll be impressed with the taste. And trust us, get it Gorilla Style—topped with basil, Parm, oregano, chili flakes and extra virgin olive oil. But if a trip abroad isn’t in the cards right now, this restaurant, with its original location in Naples, brings the pizza to us. Their Margarita is a perfect balance of sauce and cheese on a super-thin slice, surrounded by a chewy, slightly charred crust. Spice things up with their Diavola, which contains spicy salami and Calabrian chili. A trip to L’Antica is a night out; the picturesque garden makes it hard to believe you’re still in Hollywood.
Fresh Pizza, Pastas and More!
From Neapolitan-style pizzas cooked in large brick ovens to NYC slices that ooze with red sauce and cheese, LA has got it all. In no particular order, here’s your guide to the best pizza in Los Angeles. This takeout spot boasts “Pittsburg Pizza,” and if you’re questioning if that’s a real style of pizza, you’re not alone. But Chef Ben Osher tells us that while he learned to make pizza there, his pies are a combination of both Neapolitian and NY-style pizza. The crust is made with both sourdough and commercial use flour, and the slice is thin and beyond tasty.

Hailing from New York, this eatery does brick oven pizza right; ultra-thin slices with a slightly charred, chewy crust. Their classic Margarita is equally portioned with tomato sauce and cheese and topped with basil. The fan-favorite Bee Sting is off the menu but ask for this pepperoni pie topped with chili and honey and you can still get it.

They’re NYC-style but the crust boasts more flavor than many other places, and the toppings are added generously. We recommend the White Pie, which is topped with ricotta, garlic, mozzarella, spinach, Calabrian chili and white sauce (we don’t know what the sauce is, but we know we love it). They also offer two subs—Classic Italian and a Meatball—both worth eating if you come hungry. There’s no better way to usher in the weekend with pizza and wine, and this tiny establishment in a Venice strip mall can help you do just that. The team takes pride in making all of their own sauce, mozzarella, sausage and an all-sourdough crust. They also have a vineyard in Argentina that picks grapes to make wine exclusively for Southend.
The pies all pay homage to Venice—try the 1905 (the year Venice was established) with the aforementioned sausage, kalamata olives and red onion. Los Angeles is a town known for pop up restaurant concepts, and almost always, the food is outstanding. This lesser known spot for Chicago deep dish is one you’ll be happy to check out, because it perfectly nails this type of pie. The dough is chewy and the cheese is just right (i.e., not overbearing). It’s currently takeout only while in a temporary spot in Highland Park, but they expect to re-open in a permanent location in El Sereno either end of this year or early 2023.

True Chicagoans know to flock to this deep dish pizza spot located in the valley, by way of Chicago. Aside from serving their famous deep dish pizza—golden thick crust, chunky tomato sauce, and heaps of real aged cheese—the whole place has that nostalgic chain-restaurant-of-your-youth feel. Thin crust pizza is available as well, along with all the classic bar eats (hot dogs, fries, meatball subs, etc.) you’d expect at a place like this. The go-to spot for pizza in Long Beach is even worth a long drive just for one of their pies.
The pieces are large, and it gives you that stringy mozzarella cheese pull that so many other places miss the mark on. In addition to their pies, indulge in classic pizzeria fare like an eggplant parmesan hero and baked ziti. For a casual evening out where you can still get a pie that tastes expensive, check out this excellent restaurant in Echo Park. Their pizzas are made in a brick oven and have a crispy crust with ample sauce and cheese. Happy customers rave about the Pepperoni and the Sausage Pie—the sausage is housemade and is complemented with mustard greens and Calabrese chiles. Don’t overlook their appetizers either, namely the Smokey Mozzarella Sticks and the Meatballs.

They also offer thinner Neapolitan slices if you’re looking for a lighter option. Opened by couple Zoey and Osher, they decided to experiment with making pizzas over quarantine. After playing around for eight months, and much trial-and-error, they found their recipe and scrounged together enough money to open this shop on Melrose. They’re off to a great start considering their perfect 5-star rating on Yelp. The round pies are on the smaller side, but each thin slice packs a punch of flavor.
With the name Nancy Silverton attached (an icon of LA’s culinary world), you know the food here is going to be good. They do things a little differently at Triple Beam, dishing up in the traditional Roman-style. You order at the counter, peep the pizza behind the display and use your hands to indicate how much you want. Expect cheesy goodness loaded with toppings and minimal crust, unless you go for a corner slice. The Roasted Fennel & Sausage and the Acorn Squash are both not to be missed.
A good blot of the oil, and the perfect fold, close your eyes and you could be in the Big Apple. It’s the same dough, but Roman style, so a square with a thicker, fluffier texture. It may feel random, but the lemon makes this slice surprisingly refreshing and pairs well with the rosemary. Check back for dinner where the pies will be made in the wood-burning oven. Los Angeles may not be known for its pizza scene, but we’re here to tell you that it definitely deserves some recognition. More and more ’za spots have opened up, and they’re bringing authentic traditions and techniques to their pies.
A longstanding contender for the best NY-style slice in LA, Joe’s has been on the scene since 2007 when they opened their first location in Santa Monica. Now with six spots across the city, this is the place to roll into after a night of drinking at the bars, when all you really want to end the evening is that perfect slice. They offer hand-tossed pies, each slice being that quintessential NY-style that’s not too thick, full of cheese and made with fresh toppings. As all East Coast transplants bemoan, finding a good NYC-style slice is not easy; but the pizza here comes pretty damn close. They’ve got the usual suspects, all on a thin, crispy crust as well as an eggplant pizza and a pesto one, which are both worth trying.
There’s limited seating in the West Hollywood location but Santa Monica has ample seating as well as offers wine and beer. This new kid on the block is giving all other pizza joints a run for their money. James Beard award-winning chef Chris Bianco has been perfecting pizza for years in Phoenix, and just last month opened his first Los Angeles outpost at Row DTLA. Currently only open for lunch (dinner service is expected to begin any day now), you can grab a perfect NYC-style slice, baked in a deck oven, for just $6. Choose from a Red, Salami or a Green slice (the green is made with creamy spinach sauce).
From fresh pizzas to homemade lasagnas, we'll bring our delicious food to any home within a five-mile radius of Waterville, ME. We’re of course still holding on to all of your favorites including pizzas, calzones & khachapuri’s (with a list of upgraded ingredients) here at OVÉ Pizzeria. For over 40 years the La Villa family has been serving you delicious & authentic cuisine. Stavros said they changed everything including the beloved recipes, service and even let go of employees who had worked at the shop since he first bought it. Earlier this year, the pair decided the time was right to make a change and sold the pizza shop to another family.
The chef is constantly rotating in new additions, depending on what ingredients are in season. If you catch Ursula’s Paradise on the menu—a white pie with clams—do yourself a favor and order it. Additionally, the restaurant has farmer’s market fresh appetizers, homemade pastas and even their seasonal ice creams are made in house. These Sicilian-style slices are decadent—thick, oil-catching chewy slices with toppings like creamy vodka sauce, crispy pepperoni and homemade tomato sauce. Come hungry and try the Naughty—a thick square with spicy vodka sauce, spicy pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, ricotta and honey to balance out that spice. The Sunset Square is another great choice with the cheese baked in first and topped with sweet tomato sauce.
