There is one more delicious restaurant I want to mention from my August trip to LA during my rotator cuff recovery. It is Pizzana. It's an Italian pizza restaurant, with a few antipasti and salads also available.
About a dozen years ago Caroline and Chris O'Donnell (yes, the actor) were hosting one of their pizza parties, when they were introduced to Daniel Uditi, a chef from Italy. With Daniel and Candace and Charles Nelson of Sprinkles Cupcakes, the O'Donnell's opened Pizzana.
It was so hard to get into when it first opened, but since the pandemic things have cooled off. The food, however, is as good as ever!
It's a Neopolitan style pizza, with a thin crust that bubbles up around the edges, and the middle is a little soft and chewy. Pizzana offers about 10 pizza pies, and it's hard to decide what to get. I had the mushroom pizza, filled with several varieties of mushrooms and lots of cheese. Great. Pizzana also has antipasti, such as charred broccolini, carciofi arrosti, which is grilled artichokes in a vinegrette dressing. A brussels sprouts salad with chopped apple and pistachios was my favorite.
Pizzana is a very casual restaurant. Great food and good service make it my go-to place for pizza on LA's Westside.
