Danny Boy’s Famous Original Pizza Expands to Slice-Ready Westwood | Eater LA

"Debuting in Westwood on July 17 at the former 800 Degrees on the corner of Lindbrook and Westwood, Danny Boy’s Pizza offers New York City–style slices made from chef Daniel Holzman’s three-day cold-fermented dough, producing wide, thin-crust pies. Menu highlights include standard cheese and pepperoni, a white pie with mushrooms, a meatball pie (a nod to Holzman’s Meatball Shop roots), specialty whole pies such as a hot supreme with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and hot pickled peppers, a veggie, and a buffalo chicken, plus Sicilian square slices and pies (also available gluten-free) that can be customized. The Westwood location seats 56 and will serve beer and wine to accommodate students, locals, and office workers; appetizers feature Holzman’s beef and pork meatballs, garlic knots, and buffalo hot wings, while classic pizzeria salads (Greek, Caesar, Italian combo) and two sandwiches—meatball Parmesan and chicken Parmesan—are available, with plans to add grab-and-go sandwiches and spaghetti with meatballs. Holzman, who co-founded the Meatball Shop, grew up eating at Ray’s Famous Original in New York and spent years researching what he considers the perfect slice; he previously served Danny Boy’s NYC-style pizza in a Downtown LA office-building food court since August 2021. The Westwood shop is open 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at 10899 Lindbrook Drive and joins Lamonica’s and Enzo’s as part of the neighborhood’s triumvirate of New York–style slice shops." - Matthew Kang
