"Brandon Gray is the chef and titular “Brandoni” at this Mid-City pizza shop. He used to cook at tasting menu spots like Providence and Trois Mec, and you can see the fine-dining influences on these excellent pies - ingredients include wild-caught Pacific shrimp, triple crème Brie, and Spanish octopus. All of the pies (there are more than 18 of them) involve ingredients straight from the farmers’ market, like the Born And Raised, which is covered in Munak Ranch heirloom tomatoes and multiple varieties of fresh basil. Our favorite pie of all is the Straight Up Menace (house-made lamb sausage, wild arugula, and spicy pickled peppers), but whichever one you order, you can count on perfect, blistered crusts, and fresh, inventive toppings." - Brant Cox, Brett Keating
"They say if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. But at Brandoni Pepperoni, the art of pizza making isn’t being fixed per se - it’s being given an upscale twist. Like the name implies, chef Brandon Gray (whose resume includes stints at spots like Providence and Trois Mec) still serves an excellent pepperoni pizza, but he’s also created a bunch of unique pies covered in ingredients like heirloom tomatoes, baby king trumpets, maitake mushrooms, and stinging nettle pesto - many of which are sourced from local farms or markets. Find them all available for takeout here." - Kat Hong
"The “Brandoni” behind this Carthay Circle pizza pop-up is Brandon Gray, a chef who used to cook at Providence and Trois Mec. It’s easy to see the fine-dining influences on these excellent pies. You’ll find topping options like house-made sausage, triple crème Brie, and Spanish octopus, and each pizza has a firm, blistered crust that texturally fall somewhere between a New York slice and a Neapolitan pie. Our favorite is the “Straight Up Menace” with house-made lamb sausage, wild arugula, and pickled peppers - it’s the ideal balance of savory and spice." - Brant Cox, Kat Hong
"There are a number of different pizza pop-ups around West Hollywood these days, but none are more experimental than Brandoni Pepperoni. Think toppings that include wild-caught pacific shrimp, triple crème brie, and Spanish octopus. There are 16 different pies on the menu, but our favorite is the “Straight Up Menace,” which comes topped with lamb sausage, arugula, and pickled bell peppers. Pickup only." - Brant Cox
"They say don’t fix what’s not broken, but at Brandoni Pepperoni, the art of pizza making isn’t being fixed per se - it’s being completely reimagined. Like the name implies, chef Brandon Gray (whose resume includes stints at spots like Providence and Trois Mec) still does a pepperoni pizza, but he’s also created a host of unique, groundbreaking pies covered in heirloom tomatoes, baby king trumpets, maitake mushrooms, and stinging nettle pesto - many of which are sourced from local farms or markets. Available for takeout." - Kat Hong
