LA’s Best Pizza Spots to Try Right Now

Danny Boy's

Danny Boy’s Famous Original is Chef Danial Holzman's answer to the enduring question: “Where can I get a great New York style slice here in LA?” For east coast transplants, it's like a slice of heaven sent straight from Little Italy. Of course nothing beats a basic cheese or pepperoni pizza but don't miss out on the hot hero sandwiches—like meatball parmesan, chicken parm. and sausage, peppers and onion. Located in HALO DTLA, this grab-and-go style is the perfect pitstop when hanging around Bunker Hill and just a 3 minute walk from The Broad Museum—one of our favorite museums with kids.

La Morra Pizzeria

Get 'em while they're hot—or frozen—at this La Morra's take-out window. The popular, take-home frozen pies have been known to sell out, but you can pre-order for pickup to secure your slice of the pie (literally). Favorites include the classic Marghertia (with real buffalo mozzarella), Cavolo Rosso (a vegan option), and the super-satisfying Patate (with Yukon Gold potatoes, rosemary, raclette cheese, panna, black pepper and parmigiano).

Quarter Sheets

Haven't tried Detroit-style pizza yet? You'll want to stalk Quarter Sheets on Instagram for a chance to sample the pan-baked, Sicilian-inspired thick-and-airy crust that's all the rage. Sure, Quarter Sheets claims it's "Glendale's #1 least authentic Detroit style pizza," but you can blame the seasonal, creative toppings for the lack of Motor City authenticity, not the crispy-edged perfection of the crust. An ever-changing weekly menu always includes the classics (plain cheese and pepperoni), plus one original pie, featuring ingredients like whipped feta, hen of the woods mushrooms and poblanos. As yummy as the pizzas are, make sure to save room for Quarter Sheets salty chocolate chunk cookies and other desserts.

Little Coyote

If you prefer a slice of pie you can fold rather than the trendy, thicker-crusted versions, Little Coyote is your jam. Their New York-style pizza is hand-stretched, with a thin, foldable crust. The owners of the new Long Beach spot say it's "inspired by the old school New York pizzerias we loved so much as kids." In addition to pizza, you can also find Italian and meatball subs, plus a robust beer and wine list for pairing with your pie.

Pizzana

Featuring Naples style pizzas coming out of wood-burning ovens, this beacon of bubbly crust and billowy cheese has become a Westside institution—and has since opened an outpost in West Hollywood. The restaurant’s naturally fermented dough and wood-fired oven work in tandem to create a crust that is both gloriously chewy and perfectly charred.
