Is there such a thing as L.A.-style pizza?

It’s complicated.

By way of loose definition, consider that Los Angeles-style pizza signifies the use of local and seasonal ingredients, the freedom to mix and match regional styles, and unbridled creativity inspired by the diversity of the city itself. L.A. invites experimentation and personal expression amongst pizza makers in a way that feels distinct from other major pizza cities.

Which is to say: Yes, L.A. is a major pizza city — one where the offerings right now are better than ever. From full-service sit-down restaurants to roving pop-ups, here are all the spots where you can find the most compelling pizza that Los Angeles has to offer.
