Il Romanista

$$$$

829 N Douglas St, El Segundo
Earn 3X Points

An office park on the outskirts of El Segundo might seem like a strange place to find truly excellent Roman-style pizza-by-the-slice. But that’s Il Romanista, a simple spot with a few seats and lots of pizza. “Roman-style” here means huge square pies with a focaccia-like dough and minimal Italian toppings, cut into slices with scissors and warmed up to order. Get the potato, sausage, and rosemary-loaded Curva Sud.

Pizzeria Mozza

Mozza is a classic, Mozza can be very useful, but despite whatever your in-flight airline magazine’s “Spotlight on Los Angeles” says, Pizzeria Mozza in Hancock Park just isn’t the best of the best anymore.
