Prime Pizza
7.8
A late-night slice operation on Sawtelle that built its reputation on Sicilian cuts and a spicy pepperoni that regulars order by reflex. The second-floor setup is purely functional—you're here for the crust snap and the fact that it's still slinging at hours when most of the Westside has shut down. Works best when you treat it as a no-frills fuel stop, not a sit-down affair.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sicilian Slice, Spicy Pepperoni Slice, Garlic Knots
What Makes it Special: New York-style slices with a cult following, served late into the night on the Westside
