Pizza in the Valley

[reality check]

Where do I go for good pizza in the Valley?

A friend is taking to Pepe's New York Pizza in Studio City. How is Pepe's?

Danielle's Wood Fired Pizza on Laurel Canyon/ Valley Village. blink and you'll drive right past it, but it's well worth a stop!

Ravanelli's,. Barone's, Angelino's, and Central Park Pizza ( it's in Burbank however).

Is being in Burbank a bad thing? It is in "the Valley." ;-) Central Park Pizza is good.
Also in Burbank, North End Pizza on Orange Grove & San Fernando Road.

If we're including Burbank then Dino's Pizza should be on the list. Had a pizza special last summer that had heirloom tomatos that was really good!

i recently tried taverna 8 1/2 and they have a pretty solid pizza in the mold of mozza. not as good as mozza in my mind, better than caioti

Any resemblance to Mozza is strictly in the spelling of the word pizza, period.
Dreadful product.

My favorite pizza in the Valley, is Caioti Pizza Cafe, in the Tujunga Village area of Studio City. Founded by the late Ed LaDou, pizza chef for Jeremiah Tower at Stars in SF and Wolfgang Puck at Spago, and originator of the California Pizza Kitchen menu. My personal favorite is the lamb sausage pizza.

For more traditional pizza, directly across the street is Vitello’s, unfairly remembered more for the Robert Blake connection than for good Italian red-sauce cuisine.

Max, have you by any chance tried (or even heard of) the Artizan Pizza Kitchen in NoHo? I didn't find any reports on it when I did a cursory search of the archives.

Here 'tis:

Locali Artisan Pizza Kitchen
11672 Burbank Boulevard
North Hollywood, CA 91601-2330

You're right, it doesn't seem to be in the Chow database ... I haven't been there.

[Servorg]

Thanks for that. I'll add it to the CH place link data base.

No place for a pastrami pizza in the Valley, like they sell at the (fill in the city) Pizza Company?

This thread, with the last post dated Sept. 2010, talks about pastrami pizza.

Try Two Guys From Italy on San Fernando and Woodley in Granada Hills

[mucho gordo]

Are they still around??? I didn't know there was a location there. thought that chain closed down years ago when the one on Victory in NoHo and the one on Topanga in CP went out.

[WildSwede]

There is still one in Glendale on Verdugo.

Hi Reality,
For my money, I go to Ravanelli's on Reseda in Northridge.

Lido's Pizza in Van Nuys is also very good, I always order it spicy. They make their own pasta and it is really good, also.

I second "Lido Pizza." We drive from the westside just to get some of their amazing pizza!
