5 Best Pizza Places in Los Angeles (2026)

DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana is a Neapolitan pizzeria that imports its core ingredients directly from Italy, including San Felice flour, San Marzano tomatoes and mozzarella di bufala. Pizzas bake for roughly 90 seconds in massive wood-fired ovens, and the open, cavernous dining room has a casual, communal feel with long tables. It is the most-reviewed pizza place on this page.

Pizzeria Mozza is chef Nancy Silverton's James Beard Award-winning restaurant, known for its distinctive crust and California-seasonal ingredients across pizza, pasta and mains like branzino and duck confit. It offers full private dining and catering packages alongside its regular menu, and pairs its pies with an extensive Italian wine list.

Danny Boy's Famous Original Pizza serves New York style pies out of a downtown LA food hall location, including a Sicilian option and a gluten-free Sicilian variant. The menu also covers wings, garlic knots and sandwiches, making it a popular quick lunch or takeout stop for the DTLA office crowd.

Sei Pizza Bar is chef William Joo's Tokyo-style take on Neapolitan pizza, cooked at high heat with a crimping technique that creates a mix of soft, airy sections and crisp, charred edges. It operates two related locations, with the Pico Boulevard spot covered here, and has earned recognition including a ranking on the Top 50 Pizza World list and a Pizza Maker of the Year award for its chef.

Pizzeria Bianco is chef Chris Bianco's Los Angeles outpost, an adaptive reuse of a former coffee roaster at ROW DTLA with a wood-burning oven visible through a large window. The LA menu largely mirrors the original Heritage Square location's six signature pies, alongside small plates, salads and a food-friendly wine and beer list.
