LA pizza

LA doesn't have one style, so order by style: a blistered Neapolitan pie, a New Haven pie charred nearly black, a Utica square or an inch-thick slice of pan pizza.

8 of the 20

    Hancock ParkPizzeria$$

    Nancy Silverton's corner pizzeria on Highland: blistered, chewy-edged pies like the squash-blossom one, and the butterscotch budino to finish.

  2. Pizzana

    West HollywoodNeo-Neapolitan pizza$$

    Daniele Uditi's neo-Neapolitan pies in West Hollywood; the cacio e pepe pizza is the one that made the name.

  3. Pizzeria Bianco

    Chris Bianco's Phoenix legend, in LA inside Row DTLA: charred, thin-crust pies in a loud, industrial room.

  4. Quarter Sheets

    Echo ParkPan pizza & cake$$

    An Echo Park parlor that does two things, pan pizza and cake, both exceptionally. Pre-orders sell out daily; dine in for the dishes that never go to-go.

  5. Ozzy's Apizza

    North Hollywood's New Haven-style counter: thin, crackly crusts charred nearly black. Start with the Liotta, red sauce and parmesan with no mozzarella.

  6. Old Gold Tomato Pies

    A small Los Feliz shop selling Utica-style squares, puffy like focaccia with shatter-crisp bottoms and sweet sauce, at $5 to $7 a slice.

  7. Sonny's

    HollywoodJersey-style pizza$$

    Two New Jersey friends' Hollywood shop selling only whole 18-inch pies, baked 'well done' until the oiled crust crackles. Mostly takeout; the wagyu cheesesteak is a bonus.

  8. Redwood Pie

    Hermosa BeachSourdough pizza$

    The South Bay's best pizza, steps off the Hermosa boardwalk: New York-ish sourdough pies in about ten minutes. Get the Jersey Pie; seating is a few sidewalk tables.
