Apollonia's Pizzeria

This no-frills, cash-only Mid-Wilshire pizzeria was recently named one of the world’s best by the Best Pizza Awards. As someone who’s tried over 70 different pizzerias in Los Angeles, it’s not hard to see why—there are few Detroit-style slices fluffier, crispier and more textural than Apollonia's squares, with cheese crisped along the egdes that stand up straight—and provide a perfect foil to the gooey burrata plopped in the center. Of course Apollonia's also makes fantastic round pies, too, which arrive covered in everything from locally-made chorizo verde to duck and bacon. If it's your first visit, we believe it's just about mandatory that you drizzle the spicy honey over whatever you pick.
