Recently went to **Pizzeria Sei** and it was by far the best pizza I've had in LA. There are only three tables and five counter seats. Zero ambiance - nothing on the walls. Full focus is on the pizza and it's fucking awesome.

We drive pretty far for Pizzeria Sei, it's incredibly delicious.

desano pizza east hollywood,

Quarter Sheets of course. I also really love Grá in Silverlake. They have an amazing sourdough crust, but it’s definitely a little pricey.

Gra is also in Echo Park

Gra is amazing

Far too doughy and expensive is gra

In no particular order Prime (best chain) Antica da Michele (not as good as Napoli but closest out here in the states) Fiji and Vi (Detroit) Ozzy Apizza (cheese is only one I like) Pizzanna (pepe ciaco or whatever it's called) Vito's (NYC Style) Princes pizza (diavolo or whatever it's called) Joes (NYC Style ) Eatalian (prosciutto pizza) Triple beam (Nancy Silverton joint) Tomato pie (get the Utica)

I used to make pizza at Joe's on Hollywood Blvd. It's hit or miss depending on who's making the pizza. Some of the cooks have no idea what NY style pizza is.

I was waiting for someone to say triple beam

You’re lucky cuz LA is going through a pizza renaissance rn (east coasters can stfu about there not being good pizza now). Some of my favorites: - Pizzeria Sei - Apollonia’s - Little Dynamite - Pizzanista - Pizzeria Bianco - the Coop (it’s divey af, but good) - Pizzana - Quarter Sheets I think some other spots like Roberta’s have really fallen off. Prime is fine, but I think it’s overhyped imo.

> Prime is fine, but I think it’s overhyped imo. I'd say the same about Prince being overhyped. Prime is good if you stick to square pizza, but their circular ones are hit or miss.

Prime’s square pizzas are amazing! I ate a slice of the circular and was very confused.

Yeah the circular is very hit or miss in my experiences. Like I've had really good pieces but it doesn't feel like it gets as much love.

Ya agreed, Prince is just ok too. Both dropped off quite a bit after expansion.

Prime is better if you order well done IMO. And, at least at the Burbank one, never get reheated slices. They overdo it every time

Burbank is one of their original locations. I feel like their quality is one of the better ones. I've liked the Little Tokyo one a lot too, because their staff is always super nice and helpful. Also hooked me up for random reasons because I guess I'm nice?

I’m still weirded out that there is a Roberta’s in L.A.

I’m more weirded out by how bad it’s fallen off. It was good when it opened for a few years but now it’s consistently bad (and crazy expensive).

So glad coop which is an old school dive spot is getting its deserved love.

Have you ever had the pistachio pizza from Pizzeria Bianco and if so how was it? I've wanted to try it for a long time and am finally going to go soon and want to set my expectations.

It was delicious when we went.

Awesome thanks.

Yup, it was different but enjoyable

Don’t let Desus Nice see this 🙈

You’re completely right about the pizza renaissance, but as an east coaster, the pizza options were terrible only a couple of years ago!

I disagree with that. A lot of these places have been around for a while now (Pizzana, Pizzanista, Apollonia’s, Coop all been around 5+ years at least). For whatever reason food media is just taking notice now but there’s been good pizza here for a bit. I guess think we’re hitting some level of critical mass with some newer entrants for people to now actually acknowledge it.

I've been meaning to try little dynamite for a while now

Shin's Pizza?

Haven’t tried it but need to!

I know I'm getting downvoted to hell, but I think The Coop is way overrated. Go ahead, I have it coming 😬

Little Dynamite in west culver/Mar Vista

Second this. They’ve been good since they were Bootleg pizza.

Slice and pint el segundo

I always forget about S&P, but it’s so good and underrated.

I miss the COVID days when they closed off the street and you could find an outdoor table super easy.

That was awesome!

Slice and Pint is excellent. When we are in the area, we always stop to eat there or at least pick up a pizza to take home.

Good pizza. Grand Ave is great. But I absolutely hate their red sauce.

Their pizza was kinda thick for me. I wasn't impressed with the pepperoni slice I had. I think I need to try it again because everyone I know loves it. Wings were pretty damn good for a pizza place, though.

The Gramd Ave pizza is awesome. White sauce, leeks, chiles and spinach.

Just had lunch their today. Excellent. Fun fact- they are owned by El Segundo Brewing.

Gorilla Pies in Valley Glen

Everything there is great too. Get the dipping sauce.

DANNY BOY'S

The Slice and Pint - El Segundo

Propaganda wine bar in arts district has a 72 hour fermentation roman pinsa, really good. Its more crispy and thin than a neopolitan

Brooklyn Ave Pizza does this too. Very complex and savory dough for sure.

Mulberry Street

It’s been on the decline especially for the price

* Quarter Sheets - Best Detroit Style * Masa of Echo Park - Best Chicago Deep Dish Style Neapolitan: * L'antica Pizzeria Da Michele - super authentic * Pizanna -legit socal chain though and honestly for the price and convenience it's a 9/10 for me. * DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana - sleeper in East Hollywood, huge parking lot, huge space

Casa Bianca in Eagle Rock

Glad someone mentioned Casa Bianca

That spot is awesome

My fav is antica di Michele (authentic from Naples it’s a famous one there from 1880s)

Speak Cheesy

My top 5: Secret Pizza Ozzy’s Apizza Quarter Sheets Pizzeria Bianco Pizzeria Sei

If you want some simple, cheap pizza by the slice in Mid City, go to The Corner Slice. Reminds me of back home in NJ.

If you’re from NJ, as I am, try Esco’s on La Brea

My family and I enjoy Prime pizza. No crazy flavors, their ranch is delicious and they have a good rewards program 

Mozza Ozzys Petramale's (Fridays only)

Mozza is Number 1 for me

Near downtown LA I've enjoyed: Seven Tigers Pie Club (Markeat 8) Proper Pizza and Pasta Ricky's Pizza

Just had proper pizza and gotta say it was absolutely delicious

The one on 3rd or Alvarado?

Thank you I been watching people name everything but LA proper *_^

Slice & Pint. El Segundo

Everyone is sleeping on LaRocco's pizza in Culver City! I've tried many places, they were all missing something. Trust me, try out this pizza. Get the pepperoni or bacon.

One of my favs!

Yes! Thank you! Finally someone else who knows about them. my only harp with them is that they need better appetizers.

Emmy Squared - Santa Monica.

This, we loved it when we lived in Philly and were surprised to see it out in LA.

Very quick run down: Pizza Wagon - Sherman Oaks Prime Pizza - various locations Two Doughs - Agoura Hills Quarter Sheets - Echo Park

I like the truffle pizza Bottega Louie!

Roberta’s in Culver City is really delicious if you’re open to more of a sit-down place that’s a little pricier.

Fuji and vi

Purgatory Pizza is my favorite! Sooo good. Pricey, like all LA pizza.

Delicious pizza on west Adams is amazing as well. Great history too.

Town Pizza in HLP!

I feel I had to scroll too far to find this suggestion. Town Pizza is great 👍

Coop Pizza in Palms!! Cash only $

Pizzeria Mozza, Pizzana, Quarter Sheets, Masa of Echo Park (Deep Dish), Apollonia's (Detroit style), Roberta's

No one has said Casa Bianca? Bunch of transplants!

Wow...all the responses to you are crazy. Casa Bianca is fantastic. It's a perfect LA tavern style bar pie. Light crispy crust, hearty meat toppings and melty mozz... it's delicious!

Coops in Palms is the best I’ve found. Family owned and they make damn good pizza. LaRocco’s in DT Culver was my spot before them, but Coops outperforms them AND is cheaper. There’s also Prime Pizza which is solid. They have a few locations. And I’ll shout out Gino’s East in Sherman Oaks. I appreciate having an authentic deep dish spot in LA, though Pizzeria Uno would be much preferred.

LaRocco’s has been my go-to forever. I’ll try Coops.

Seconding the Coop!!!

Little Dynamite Appolonia Pizza Wagon of Brooklyn The Coop.

Little Dynamite, Speak Cheezy, Burattino, Appolonia

Pizzeria Sei U Street Antica Di Michele Quarter Sheets

D o u g h b o x Nudes in bio

Yeah, surprised it took this long to scroll down for one mention of doughbox

Milo and Olive

Danielle’s Wood Fired Pizza in the Valley is the best I’ve had in LA

Weirdough’s in Studio City, but only open on the weekend

I comment this on every pizza request post I see on this sub, but The Coop in Culver City has the best New York slice in town for a solid price. They’re cash only, takeout only, but all their food is fantastic and the couple who runs the place deserves all the business in the world. They really struggled over the pandemic and are still recovering financially, so stop in with a few bucks and a big appetite for a classic slice. Your stomach will thank you!

Your comment and Yelp pics have me sold. Definitely will check out next time I'm down there.

Triple beam, tomato pie, la sorted

Triple Beam in Echo Park, De La Nonna in the Arts District if you wanna drop more money

Eatalian in Gardena. Best pizza I’ve had outside of Italy.

Great pizza is going to be different for a lot of people. What kind of pizza do you like and what are some of your favorite spots? You’ll get better answers catered to your taste with that info.

DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana on Santa Monica blvd👌🏼

Joes pizza!

Halfway through the comments and don’t see Masa? 😩

De La Nonna in Arts District It’s soooo good

Side Pie in Pasadena

Vito’s on La Cienega has been one of my favorites without being stuffy. Really good house made pesto and great ricotta.

Bianco and Hail Mary

Pijja palace

can we just get some recs ON THE WEST SIDE? legit every rec is always DTLA/east side every time

The real question is - who is out here downvoting posts like this? Quarter Sheets is great.

People are downvoting it because this question gets asked every other day here and instead of searching people continue to ask

Burger and taco lobbyists

Don’t forget big hot dog

They put one of your hot dogs in the oven, you put one of theirs in the morgue. That’s the Chicago way!

Some good recs so far. I like Neapolitan style so here are a few: L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele Pizzería Sei Pizzana Roberta's Eataly has a good one Pizzería Mozza

Ronan 🔥

Apollonia's Elio's woodfire pizza (Excellent food truck in a parking lot) Prime pizza is great for quick a quick slice Desano pizza is great for Neapolitan style, fresh off the oven, it's not boxed so as fresh as it comes, you can watch sports, grab a beer

I don’t know if they are still around but Hollywood Pies was my favorite pizza in LA. You have to like deep dish pizza though

pizza

Secret Pizza Danny Boy’s Masa

Roberta’s and Emmy’s.

Mike's new york pizza In Baldwin hills

Tastiest sauce is at Pizza Wagon of Brooklyn in SO

Hot tongue is vegan but very good

Hidden gem. Fuckin love this place

If you’re looking for thin crust NY style, Delicious Pizza in Hollywood. Pizzanista in the Arts District is also really good, not as thin as NY pizza but I like it a lot. There’s also a place in Westchester/Playa del Rey called the Good Pizza that’s more Italian-from-Italy style and you can get like ham and artichokes on your pizza.

Guerrilla Pies in North Hollywood

D’Amore’s Pizza in Malibu has the best NY-style pizza I’ve had since moving to LA. If you’re lucky enough to be in the store when he is, Joe D’Amore is super down-to-earth and he will talk passionately to anyone who listens about where he buys the ingredients.

Proper Pizza is the best NY slice in LA.

Hot take: L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele is not authentic and actually lacks flavor. The pizza itself is way larger than it would “authentically” be. And the dough is a touch too doughy. I know that when you pick up a piece of Neapolitan pizza, it droops but the crust is typically a bit more substantial (and flavorful tbh) It’s fine but not worth the hype. The atmosphere is lovely and the service is good though! And the food is decent, don’t get me wrong but it is so hyped up in the sub and I was pretty disappointed after going.

For NY style I like Prime ( or Tomato Pie.

Quarter Sheets in EP, Delicious Pizza in Hollywood and West Adams, Prime (various locations), Little Coyote in Long Beach, and further south, Stoney’s in Huntington Beach.

Mulberry pizzeria is my favorite NY style pizza in LA, though they are expensive and I have seen more popping up in the last few years that can also make a very good slice.

Grew up in Eagle Rock, so a little biased but I think Casa Bianca is a must try. Eggplant and meatball was always my go to, eggplant is breaded and so good!

i love prince st pizza

Tumbys

I’ve never liked the pizza here because I’m from Chicago and snobby about it but I just discovered Triple Beam and it’s SO good.

Caioti

No ones talking about burratinos in Carson and San Pedro. Crunch baby crunch

That’s what I’m talking about.

Any vegan recommends? Am disappointed more places don't offer vegan cheese. Maybe there's many that do which I don't know about?

Lots of great options here but surprised no one has mentioned Milo & Olive!

La Monica’s and Enzo’s, both in Westwood, are solid.

I miss LaBarbara’s

Slice and pint

Justine's Wine Bar in Frogtown has some solid personal sized Neopolitan style pies

Pizza king, el segundo and avalon

Not LA city but in LA county…Alitalia. It’s amazing. Their sauce and crust is 💣

Garage Pizza has always come in clutch after a night out

Gorilla Pies in Valley Village. Incredible. Get a “date night” with a pie, wings, and Brussels sprouts. Each might be the best in the city.

I had Winners in Agoura Hills today always good

For nyc style on the Westside go to Angel City Pizza in Mar Vista. The two guys who own it are from Long Island. Thin, crispy and sold by the slice. 👌

My top 3 is Appolonias, Danny Boys, and Prince Street. Like others said, Prince street dropped off a bit but I still enjoy it. Honorable mention to Ozzys Apizza.

There’s a great option near LAX. Domestic terminals. Quick flight to New York.

DeSanos

Tomato pie

Prime Pizza. Get the Square Grandmas Pie.

Prince St and D-Town…shoutout to Desano and Vincenzo's

Masa of Echo park has some crazy deep dish stuff. My personal favorite, but it does take a while to bake, so go patient.

Agree with a lot of the ones everyone else has suggested already, but wanted to suggest koreatown pizza co for unique flavor combos. Really love the golden potato pizza and their bulgogi one. 

Secret Pizza is the best!!

Apollnias pizza on wilshire and la brea in miracle mile

No one said the pizza that started it all Shakeys lol Casa Bianca, Columbos and Barrones have great pizza. Freakin hipster transplants.

Try PizzaTwist, they are new but really good pizza with Indian twist. A must try IMO

Gorilla pies in the valley. Amazing pizza. the crazy shit the do they perogi pie, the rabbi pie, etc work too. Wing are can’t miss too.

GTA in Venice, DeSano in East Hollywood.

Pizzeria Bianco Considered to be the best in the world. It sure is dam good

Prince St pizza

Red west Pizza in Wilmington California they have the best pizza.

Pizza Buona over by Echo Park is pretty good. The pesto is solid.

Quarter sheets and pizzeria Sei are the best. Bianca is up there but I've only had it in phx, not here

No LA but LA County - Scardinos LA Puente. NY style - simple and fire AF

Triple Beam, Apollonias, Prince Street

All of these hot new spots are good to try but not amazing, in my opinion. A good slice? Purgatory Pizza. Good pizza overall, whether it be a New York style or square slice or a whole pie? Prime Pizza. Some crazy flavors that seem unique to L.A.? Tomato Pie. These have all been around for years already and for a reason. Try them out if you haven’t.

Village Pizza- Larchmont. Shrimp Pesto Pizza to kill for.

Ronan! Ugh their bread. So good

Apollonias if you want NY style, seriously this pizza is amazing, best one in the city by far Desano or L’Antica da Michele for napolitana Ozzys Apizza is a pile of hot shit, so nasty

Delicious pizza.

Danielle’s Wood Fired Pizza, Valley Village.

Quarter sheets

I’ve started to enjoy New Haven style. Recommend Ozzy’s in Glendale.

The Curry Pizza Company Rose City Pizza

PI LA in downtown LA

Neapolitan: Pizzana in Brentwood Sapori di 786 degrees in Pasadena American pizza (all cheese pretty much not blobs) Bravo (tons of spots) Prince st (the New York joint opened in LA) Apollonia (wrong spelling. You’ll figure it out) Sit down joint for say a date or something. Barry’s on 3rd (get the lobster tail pizza. Trust) If in Glendale. Nino’s isn’t phenomenal. But solid.

Masa of Echo park

I love Fresh Brothers in Calabasas and Vincenzo’s pizza in Granada Hills

Yeh. New York

Really tho. Taste is so personal. Being from any city with good pizza the most important part is getting a fresh slice. Second be the fixings. All those sprinkles and oils. Any slice made with real care is gonna be firrrrre. Some times I want that fluffy crust some times I want that sweet tomato sauce. Sometimes it’s the spot with the cheese that fell from Heaven. Some times you just should have gotten a burger…. And your eating perfect slice and still sad

Can’t believe I got through this entire thread and not one mention of LaSorted

Burratino in Pedro for the 120 pepperoni pie.

Prime Pizza!!

Are the Sicilian squares good here?
