Pizza near the Red Line

[reality check]

Any good pizza places within a few blocks of the Red Line? Any style pizza but NY style thin crust, especially.

Android, don't panic; "Nazo's Next Door" makes a pretty mean NY style slice...

I went to Nazo's Next Door the other day. The crust was crunchy bone-dry. I'm not even a NY'er (far from it) but even I was disappointed! According to the Downtown News, LA-NY Pizza (which replaced Lamonica's) still uses imported NY tap water on their dough.

So what is the former Lamonica's called now?

:( :( :( :( :(

Downtown Lamonica's R.I.P.

I'm not too fond of the Westwood Lamonica's, but I guess I'll have to settle.

I go Downtown fairly often but I guess I havent been to the CBD in a long time. I am soooooo disappointed now. My friend in Phoenix who's originally from Brooklyn will be furious too once I tell him.

Here's some by station:

Civic Center Station:
Pitfire Pizza (2nd and Main streets) I prefer the NoHo location but this new one just opened in DTLA.

Pershing Square station
-north entrance:
Grand Central Market - a few pizza joints in there

-south entrance:
Lamonica's NY Pizza, 518 W. 6th Street (Best Red Line pizza IMO and light-years better than the Westwood location. The Downtown Lamonica's imports the dough from NYC, the Westwood one doesn't).

Vermont/Santa Monica station:
Rocco's Pizza, 812 N. Vermont Ave (the former site of the legendary Vito's...Not as good as Vito's but judge for yourself)

Vermont/Sunset station:
Raffallo's Pizza, 4708 Fountain Avenue (at Vermont)
Palermo Italian Restaourant, 1858 N. Vermont Ave.

Hollywood/Highland station:
Miceli's, 1646 N Las Palmas Ave
Just walk down Hollywood Blvd, you'll find tons of pizza joints. Some real good and some total crap.

Universal City station:
The other Miceli's, 3655 Cahuenga Blvd W (at Lankerhshim)

North Hollywood Station:
Pitfire Pizza (Lankershim & Magnolia)

The downtown Lamonica's is Lamonica's no more.

My offering: Metro Center (7th and Figueroa) go 1 block south to Nazo's Next Door Pizza on 8th

"The downtown Lamonica's is Lamonica's no more."

And the replacement is pretty mediocre - and that's being polite.
