    Prime Pizza

    Valley Village

    At the Valley Village location, one commenter recommends ordering the square pie double-cut and well done.

    1. It's good but it's really salty

    2. Another vote for Prime Pizza...especially their Zabs hot sauce collab.

    Quarter Sheets

    If you like square Sicilian-style pizza, one diner recommends it; another describes the pizza as an elevated take rather than traditional Detroit-style.

    1. I liked quarter sheets a lot, it was very good pizza. I have to say that for me it was not noticeably better than Triple Beam

    2. It’s good! I was told it’s “Detroit style” and I was really excited to try, however it’s not actually true Detroit style, more like an elevated take on it. Still good though! And their wine selection is great, too.

    3. Literally had this yesterday. Had the pepperoni, St Barb AND a slice of quarter Sicilian. Shared two dessert with my bf; the princess cake and the fruit slab pie. The princess cake gets a lot of compliments, and it was in fact delicious but the pie was insane. Can’t wait to have pizza night again.

    Sonny’s

    Try the pizza if you value crust: one repeat customer praised it, and a commenter describes the style as NY-Neapolitan.

    1. Big fan of their pizza.

      Big fan of their pizza. … I may need to try the cheesesteak again. Only had it once but was a big let down. Didn’t have much cheese and the steak didn’t seem very high quality. Good bun though.

    2. Now Pizzeria Sei, Sonny's and Lynx are REAL pizza.

    3. Thanks for posting! You inspired me to try it tonight - I live nearby and hadn’t ever been. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in LA so far!

    Pizzeria Sei

    Palms

    At the Overland location, try the ragu pizza for its praised sauce; one reviewer found its crust drier than the original location’s.

    1. That Diavola is so damn good! 🤤 perfect crust and love the sweet and spicy combo.

    2. There’s plenty of great (and different styles) of pizza out there — but I truly pity the food who talks smack on these, as if they aren’t highly accoladed pies. So good.

    3. 4 Culture Diavola - came on thin, crispy crust. Zero flop, stays horizontal when holding it. Flavor profile wise this is one of the most complex and unique pizzas I've ever had. So much going on here, and it works beautifully together. Gochujang, candied guanciale, stratciatella, and more. Sweet, salty, tangy. Really loved this one. Not usually a fan of thin crispy crust but I'd get this again because of the complex flavors.

Not usually a fan of thin crispy crust but I'd get this again because of the complex flavors. … Overall I would recommend all three of these. … Prices are steep. The ragu was $37, the Diavola was $38, and the suppli was $9 each (we got 2, so $18). I very much enjoyed my meal and will come back, but not as frequently as to their original location. … Ragu - came on Neapolitan Sei crust. This was great, the ragu is excellent and when get you a bite with ragu it's very very good. Maybe could've used a touch more ragu. I describe this crust style as "similar" to the original location because this one felt drier, and less "wet." I loved the original and didn't mind the wetness, so while this new one is also great, I did long for the original a bit. … Suppli (starter) - very crispy on the outside, soft, cheesy and flavorful on the inside. The vodka sauce it comes with is amazing. … The dining tables are too close to one another - it's a tight squeeze fitting between them to get to your seat. This also means you'll be hearing your neighbors' conversations and vice versa. It was somewhat uncomfortable for me personally, but may not bother others. … The original is my favorite pizza in the city so I was excited. … The place is nice, though smaller than I expected. … There are cheaper pizzas on the menu, to be fair. Lowest is $24 for a Marinara, $27 for a Sei Margerita, $29 for a Patate.

    Costco food court

    Consider it if price matters; reports say the dough and cooking can be inconsistent.

    1. Depending on the Costco in your area some now offer a pizza only window. I’ve called ahead and placed orders for just pizzas to pick up from said window and it’s a quick process that skips the longer lines

    2. And slice of pizza for lunch

    Sei Pizza Bar

    Try the margherita for its tomato-forward sauce, which two diners praised; one diner found the dough bland.

    1. i would say: - their crust/ dough game is about a 7/10; - their “unusual” toppings game is 9/10 on creativity; 8/10 on flavour - their service is an absolute 11/10 - their sauce on the margherita though? that tomato flavour is sublime 15/10, but i did personally add more salt

    2. Sei.

    3. The Lamb pizza at Sei Pizza Bar.

    Pane Bianco

    A commenter recommends trying the Rosa or classic margherita, praising the margherita’s fresh sauce and cheese.

    1. Bianco takes the crown for best pizza out of those three. Idc about how close it is to a style. It’s a better bread formula and it’s a better product altogether.

    2. Go to BIANCO for: a) the Rosa. You won’t find another pizza like it anywhere else and it blew my mind the first time I tried it; or b) the classic margarita. The freshness of the sauce/cheese is superior to Mozza.

    3. Bianco is so inconsistent ive had 2 great experiences with them and 2 of the saltiest pizzas of my life

    Pizzana

    Brentwood

    For takeout, you can order pizzas parbaked with toppings on the side and finish them at home; one diner says they taste fresh out of the oven.

    1. so if you stack with happy hour or somewhere like pizzana where you get a free pizza you can get so much free food

    2. My 2nd favorite pizza place!

    3. Love their pizza…especially the Cacio

    Mozza

    Try the mushroom (fungi misti) or a sausage pie; one commenter recommends both.

    1. Mozza feels like the more formal restaurant of the 2 while still being pizza. For example, I prefer the salads/apps/dessert at Mozza. And the wine list at Mozza is definitely more serious if that's your thing. If you were in town for one night, I'd go with Mozza. Not bc the pizza is better or worse, but because the other stuff is better IMO.

    2. Mozza

    3. I find that mozza has regular good pizza.
