Pizzas In Los Angeles

10. Deano’s - I know it’s hypocritical that the first place on my list is a gourmet-style pizza, but the fact is, Sari used to work there and I got free pies whenever I picked her up from work (sometimes two or three times a week) so I’ve had plenty of experience consuming their pizza. Yeah, it’s in The Grove, but it’s actually not that bad. I recommend the Bar-B-Q Chicken pie, Buffalo Chicken, Alfredo Pesto Shrimp & Garlic, or my personal favorite, the Spicy Latin Pepperoni, which has enough spicy chorizo to satisfy even a chorizo nut like me. I never paid for a pie so I don’t remember how expensive they are. I also haven’t had one in almost a year, because Sari eventually got fired for giving away (to me primarily) too many free pies. Oops!
9. Hard Times Pizza Co. - Pat and Nate claim that this is the best pizza in the Echo Park/Silverlake/Los Feliz area, but I haven’t been convinced of its greatness yet. Plus, they’re from Boston, so what the hell do they know about good pizza? I’ve ordered from Hard Times two or three times recently, and although I was satisfied, I’m simply not impressed by their pizzeria. The folks who answer the phone always sound like they couldn’t care what you want, when you show up they look completely overwhelmed by even a moderate-sized clientele, and to top it all off, it’s a bit overpriced. Their crust is too doughy and the sauce has no zip. Even so, it’s actually worthy of an 8th-place ranking. It just goes to show how bad the pizza here is…
8. Andiamo - A lot of people I know have been raving about Andiamo lately, and it even cracked a few area Best of 2008 lists. I’ve been there once (I ordered the Signore Roberto) and it was pretty good. Like many places in LA, Andiamo is an Italian restaurant that just happens to devote menu space to pizza. It’s not a pizzaria. In that regard, it can’t truly be in contention for the best pizza in the city. Pizza is like an afterthought in Italian restaurants. You either begin one with the intention of focusing on pizza (see: Foliero’s, Casa Bianca) or you don’t (see: a billion other places like Andiamo in LA).
