My Favorite Pizza in Los Angeles

There are countless pizzas to try in Los Angeles. There are the classics and mainstays that have thrived over the decades such as Casa Bianca and trendy ones popping up weekly or expanding like Jon & Vinny's.

I haven't been too impressed with "cheffy" takes on pizza like Pizzeria Mozza or Bestia's pizzas.  Prime Pizza and Pizzanista has been inconsistent during my past few visits.  Stella Barra is solid pizza from what I have tasted, but have yet to visit their restaurant. And Pizzana? The current darling of the food media. It's owned by Sprinkles and I hate their cupcakes.

It's really difficult to find a great Chicago pizza in Los Angeles and Masa of Echo Park doesn't taste like the pizza I've had in Chicago. The closest I've had was at Union Pizza Company in the South Bay.

There is no shortage of the kinds of pizza you'll find in Los Angeles. You'll find regional styles such Neapolitan, Detroit, Chicago, New York, and Ohio. I recently tried unique Thai and Japanese-style pizzas.

Here are some of my favorites. If I missed some of your favorites, send me a message and I'll give it try.

Enjoy...

    Hello, I'm Anne.

    I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and I love exploring Los Angeles like a tourist. I have as much fun in my hometown as I do traveling in another country. I live to eat (good food) and travel!

    I hope my adventures will inspire you to travel, eat well, and live life without any regrets.
