Number 2: Bestia
This converted warehouse is baking up some of the very best pizzas in the entire country according to Yelp reviewers. Their wood-fired pizzas and other rustic Italian dishes are Michelin-recognized making it one of the hottest spots in L.A. Their Margherita pizza has been compared to pies found in Italy. But it’s not just the wood-fired pizza that gets rave reviews here; the seasonal menu, craft cocktails, incredible wine menu, and delicious desserts are all fan favorites as well.

Number 18: Masa of Echo Park
This unique “Mom and Pop” pizzeria specializes in deep dish Chicago style pizza. It’s all lovingly made by a native Chicagoan, so you know you’re getting authentic dishes straight from those who know them best. They’re cooked to perfection with fillings like Masa’s secret recipe Sweet Italian Sausage and authentic Hot Giardiniera imported directly from Chicago. They even imported the pizza pans from the Windy City and offer heart shaped pies for special occasions. But remember that each pie takes at least 40 minutes to bake, so plan your visit accordingly. However, it’s well worth the wait, according to Yelp.
