The Brentwood Italian Restaurant Power Rankings - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Pizzana is co-owned by a famous Neapolitan pizzaiolo and a random cast of people, including Chris O’Donnell and the couple behind Sprinkles. There was also an era when Pizzana was a tough reservation. Oh, how times have changed. Not only are tables much easier to come by, but the food snobs of [insert gentrified LA neighborhood] have been replaced by local moms and their less-than-enthused teenage sons. The pizza, however, remains just as good, and we're into the antipasti, like the crispy artichoke salad with pine nuts and bufala caprese. Pizzana might not have the same legacy as the older spots on this guide, but it's consistently good, open until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and sells semi-cooked pizzas that you can finish baking at home so it doesn’t get cold in the car." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox
