Little Dynamite

Little Dynamite, or The Artist Formerly Known As Bootleg Pizza, has a new name and a new location in Culver City, but the decadent pies at this order-at-counter shop are every bit as good as when we first tried them in 2020. You could argue about whether these hefty,  squares are Sicilian, Detroit, or traditional pan-style pizza, but we’d say they’re a mix of all three: heavy on the tomato sauce, paved with layers of gooey cheese, and sporting a crispy, inch-thick crust and soft interior that tastes like biting into a custom-made pizza pillow. Pies rotate frequently—they're topped with everything from honey to sliced lemons—but the pepperoni-covered “Pep’d Up” is our never-fail mainstay. If you don’t feel like investing in a full pizza (these babies are massive), slices are available from 12-3pm.
