Dave at the bar treated me with kindness and a great attitude. The whole staff was focused but relaxed. The pizza was amazing dinner one night and lunch the next. Variations of the Margarita for me and I was thoroughly satisfied both times. Definitely some of the best pizza I have ever had. } |
| Esco’s New York Style Pizza | Highly rated on review platforms for classic New York–style pizza, generous portions, and value — good for casual pizza lovers. (Yelp) | 4.7 379 Google reviews { Client review: Ok the pizza and service was A1! The parking situation really sucks! It’s a very busy intersection and busy strip mall so lots of incoming and outgoing traffic in the parking lot. Be ready for that. We opted to eat in the car because it was a bit stuffy in the pizza spot but that’s to be expected especially if you’re from NY you know this! Esco was serving us and very friendly. My husband is from NJ born and raised between NY and NJ so finding authentic pizza in California has not been easy these last 10 years. We have been up and down the state in search of pizza that he can tolerate. He finally said he liked a pizza here in California and it’s here at Escos. With that being said we tried a plain slice, a pepperoni slice and the margherita. All has really good flavor, it had the crunch and it had the hometown grease sliding down your hand ifykyk.. don’t sleep on this I highly suggest you stopping and giving it a try! } |
| L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele | Known for authentic Italian-style pizza, consistent quality and a loyal following. A solid pick for traditionalists. (Yelp) | L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele is a historic Neapolitan pizzeria founded in 1870, renowned for its traditional pizzas and simple menu. It has become a global phenomenon, expanding from its original Naples location to cities worldwide, and gained further fame from the movie Eat Pray Love. The original Naples location is famous for its simple menu featuring just two pizzas: the Margherita and Marinara. |
| Prince Street Pizza | Popular among locals for vibrant vibe, good pizza slices & catering — fits well for a casual-dining or slice-style listing. (Yelp) | 4.4 8,791 Google reviews { Client review : First time here, in the heart of little Italy. The original to a chain of pizza places. I frequent the Los ANGELES location, and love their pizza. Quick service, same great taste and quality. Good prices and large portions. Highly recommend, and would definitely return! Friendly helpful staff. Clean areas to stand and enjoy your slices } |
| Apollonia’s Pizzeria | Known for solid reviews and considered by many as among the best local pizza joints for both dine-in and take-out. (Yelp) | 4.3 812 Google reviews { Client review : Great pizza spot. Learned this place was ranked in the top 100 pizzas in the WORLD at a competition in Milan Italy. First time I got the New York round pepperoni pizza, and the very first bite I had a ratatouille moment in which it brought me back to eating pizza as a kid with my mother and sister in Brooklyn. Since then, I’ve been back two more times and tried the square vodka, pizza, and the round vodka pizza which were both very good. Fair warning I recommend ordering hours in advance online and you can pay with a card. Otherwise, it is cash only at the store and if you wait to order until you get to the store, you could be waiting hour(s). Also there is no seating so people just sit at their vehicle or curb outside and eat. Definitely worth the wait and drive. } |
| Angelenos Wood Fired Pizza | A smaller, possibly boutique spot — gets good local reviews for wood-fired pizzas and cozy environment; suitable for those seeking less commercial but quality-focused places. (Yelp) | 4.6 56 Google reviews {Client review : Owners Carmen and Daniel went above and beyond to make my son’s 2nd birthday party special. We have a very steep driveway which made it difficult to drive the 16,000lb truck up; however, Carmen and Daniel made and plan and ended up walking all the pizzas up our driveway and made the cutest pizza set up. Their pizza was also incredible — I got so many compliments from our guests. I plan to use them for future events. Thank you! } |
| OSTE | Frequently mentioned among well-reviewed pizzerias; a good fit if you want varied pizza styles and a place appreciated by locals. (Yelp) | 4.7 905 Google reviews {Client review : Fantastic authentic Italian restaurant featuring a burrata bar, unique handmade pastas, and plenty of delicious cocktails (try their espresso martini). Their tiger prawns were packed with juicy flavor. Get a side of their housemate bread to dip in the butter. I will definitely try their pizza next time I go! } |
