Our Top Pick
Pitfire Pizza - Mar Vista
Chef-driven, wood-fired pizzas with hand-stretched dough and seasonal toppings that rotate regularly across a sprawling dog-friendly patio setting.
Notable Picks
Wood-fired pizzas built on hand-stretched dough with seasonal rotations, backed by nearly three decades of refining the same core technique across multiple LA locations. The sprawling dog-friendly patio drives repeat visits from families and groups who treat it as a default neighborhood gathering spot. Sides and pastas—particularly the baked mac and cheese and crispy Brussels sprouts—pull as much weight as the pizza itself.
Must-Try Dishes:
Zoe's Pepperoni, Margherita, Burrata
What Makes it Special: Chef-driven, wood-fired pizzas with hand-stretched dough and seasonal toppings that rotate regularly across a sprawling dog-friendly patio setting.
