According to a news report from www.latimes.com, “Here are some of our favorite New York-style pizza places in the Los Angeles area. Regular, whole-pie cheese pizzas were taste-tested — no Sicilian, no deep-dish (if offered), no goat cheese.”
Here they are, in alphabetical order:
Coop Pizza: There’s no seating here — only a two-person counter at which to stand — but locals frequent this family-run, tiny neighborhood spot for take-away pies and slices until they run out of dough. (It closes at 9 p.m., 9:30 on weekends.) Cash only. 10006 National Blvd., Los Angeles, (310) 837-4462
Damiano Mr. Pizza: The ambience is more sketchy bar than pizzeria and the vegan offerings are alarming, but the pizza has a flavorful, crisp-chewy crust and fragrant sauce, topped with a thin layer of cheese. It all comes together as tasty pie. (It’s also open until 6 a.m. — yes, all night.) 412 N. Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles, (323) 658-7611
