Danny Boy's Famous Original

Run by Daniel Holzman, cofounder of NYC’s Meatball Shop, this pizza counter offers New York-style slices, Sicilian-style squares and absolutely phenomenal garlic knots. The no-flop triangles here cater to the lunchtime office workers crowd, but the fresh ingredients and delicious, perfectly textured crust have drawn Angelenos from outside the area searching for L.A.’s best gourmet imitation of a dollar slice. Though parking in the area might appear daunting, Danny Boy’s actually offers customers ticket validation in the typically pricey underground structure: $5 for the first two hours before 4pm on weekdays and three hours free afterwards, with the latter deal offered all day on weekends.
