Best pizza in LA: Pizza That Earns the Trip
LA's pizza map is no longer a punchline. Tokyo-Neapolitan, Frogtown sourdough with a Bib, Chris Bianco at ROW, Detroit squares in Echo Park—these pies justify a crosstown detour. Heavily covered icons stay on the list lightly; the energy favors dough programs with a point of view.
