Michelin Bib Gourmand pizzeria from Animal restaurant founders

Notable Picks

$$ Fairfax Pizza
Chef duo Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo deliver wood-fired pizzas with lightly charred crusts and inventive toppings like vodka sauce and smoked ham from their sun-drenched Fairfax café. The Italian-American spot earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for reliably excellent pies served alongside house-made pastas and that legendary gem lettuce salad.
Must-Try Dishes: LA Woman Pizza, Ham & Eazy Pizza, Breakfast Pizza 2.0
What Makes it Special: Michelin Bib Gourmand pizzeria from Animal restaurant founders
$$ Hollywood Pizza, Italian
The Hollywood outpost of Naples’ famed L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele brings long-fermented dough and blistered pies to a courtyard just off Hollywood Boulevard. Twin patios, an open pizza kitchen, and a long list of Italian wines make it feel equal parts neighborhood hang and destination for pizza fans. Expect a lively crowd before shows and on weekend nights.
Must-Try Dishes: Margherita pizza, Diavola pizza, Cacio e pepe
What Makes it Special: A storied Neapolitan pizzeria transplanted into a busy Hollywood courtyard.
$ Studio City Italian, Pizza
Founded by the late Ed LaDou who invented California-style pizza for Wolfgang Puck, this Tujunga Village gem continues his legacy with creative designer pies featuring unexpected combinations. The famous maternity salad reportedly induces labor, making this a Studio City institution for pregnant locals and adventurous pizza lovers alike.
Must-Try Dishes: BBQ Chicken Pizza, Spinach Truffle Oil Pizza, The 'The' Salad
What Makes it Special: California pizza pioneer Ed LaDou's legacy with innovative toppings
$$ West Adams American, Pizza
Chef Danny Elmaleh's Mediterranean-inflected brunch spot leans on Israeli technique—the shakshouka with house-blistered laffa bread draws regulars, and the chicken and waffles execute the comfort-forward promise. It works best for weekend brunch when you want generous plates without the Westside markup, though peak hours bring waits and a lively noise level that suits groups more than quiet conversation.
Must-Try Dishes: Shakshouka, Chicken and Waffles, French Toast
What Makes it Special: All-day brunch destination in West Adams with generous portions and comfort-forward dishes

Worthy Picks

$ Santa Monica Pizza
An owner-operated beachside kitchen on Neilson Way where the draw is balcony seating overlooking Ocean View Park's pool and the sand beyond—empanadas and wood-fired pizza served in a setting that does the heavy lifting. It runs as a casual neighborhood spot for families and beachgoers who want to eat steps from the water without a reservation or a prix fixe menu.
