we love pizza .will be in la with family in march...where are some great pizza restaurant suggestions??

I fear you may be looking for more budget standard "pizza places" but Wolfgang Puck has made California pizza what it is today, and there are a number of Wolfgang Puck cafes around the city with pretty reasonable prices. But my favorite wood oven pizzas are in Beverly Hills at Prego, a surprisingly moderately priced restaurant for what it is and where it is.

Darren - Abbot Kinney Pizza at the Venice/Santa Monica border has really really great local pizza.

Buono's in Long Beach

I like Prego, also. Farfalla on Hillhurst in the Los Feliz area( other locationsaBrea and Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena, neither quite as good as the original one). Best "regular Joe" pizza, but really dives: Casa Bianca in Eagle Rock , popular with the Occidental College students, has a Budweiser blimp floating from the ceiling, excellent pizza, and Vito's across the street from L.A. City College on Vermont. Also, Patsy's in the Farmers' Market on Third and Fairfax. Supposedly the first pizza place in L.A.. Miceli's in Hollywood has a lot of atmosphere and pretty good pizza , also.

The margherita pizza at any of the Daily Grill restaurants is quite DELICIOUS!!

excellent suggestions,everybody!all of these will be written down and taken into consideration...depending on where we are at the time.this really helped...thanks from fellow canadian friends!

Don't forget to put Wolfgang Puck on your list! There are several Wolfgang Puck Express places around town OR, if you happen to see a Gelson's Grocery Store nearby, they also have a special Wolfgang Puck section where they make it FRESH. Believe me when I tell you -- the fresh pizzas are wonderful compared to his frozen ones in the store which aren't really all that great. Anyway, my recommendation would be the Barbequed Shrimp Pizza! Absolutely delicious, with large pieces of shrimp on top (and they DON'T skimp either!)

Also, if you're near Universal Studios in Hollywood, about ten minutes down the road on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City is a very small, authentic Italian restaurant called La Loggia which has excellent thin crusted pizza!

Hope you'll post a "Pizza Report" on this very Board upon your return! Happy Eating!!

I second the vote for Micheli's in Hollywood (off Las Palmas) it's worth it for the Old Hollywood atmosphere alone...the pizza is wonderful too.

I vote for Miceli's too. Also love their other Italian foods - and love the hot bread!! YUM!!

Oh guys---Michele's brings back such yummy memories! Also in Pasadena is Tarantino's---how we miss that one! You probably should try California Pizza Kitchen as well and let us know what a Canadian thinks of that one.And....another vote for Prego.

wow...thanks for all the suggestions,again!!pizza has to be up for all american food!!i want to say something else...my family has always been treated very friendly in our usa travels...something which is not mentioned enough...alot of great americans!!!! thanks...and i will let you know which pizza ranked where on our list.
