Emmy Squared

A Westside brewery is an odd first place to land, but the built-in Santa Monica Brew Works clientele has done wonders for Emmy Squared. The NYC-based, Detroit-inspired pizza chain offers a mash-up between Long Island grandma pies and Detroit-style squares that would make even the staunchest local pizza partisan break into a smile. Made with fluffy, focaccia-like dough laced with a crispy baked cheese “frico crust,” the pies here easily beat out any of L.A.’s other Detroit-style pizza operations. Available for dine-in, takeout and delivery, these mouthwatering rectangles of cheese, sauce and toppings are the reason to order from Emmy’s, but other delicious menu items like cheesy garlic sticks, baked ziti and pretzel bun burgers make sure every meal is an absolute blast.
