"Danny Boy’s comes from one of NYC’s former Meatball Shop co-founders and is an homage to East Coast red-sauce roots. It’s in an unusual space, tucked away in an office building atrium, which is a lovely place to have takeout pizza. Recently the shop has become very popular on TikTok, leading to long lines during lunch hour. The shop recently expanded to Westwood just in time for college students to upgrade their delivery pizza during study sessions." - Matthew Kang
"Offering Super Bowl packages that serve 10, 20, or 30 people; each package comes with pizza, hot wings, and Caesar salad, and pre-orders can be made through Tock." - Rebecca Roland
"TikTok-popular chef Daniel Holzman’s pizzeria hides deep inside a skyscraper food court, with New York-style slices that’ll remind you of the moments when the Dodgers vanquished the New York Yankees. Expect lines during prime lunch hours, and especially while a championship parade is passing through, but it’ll be worth the wait." - Matthew Kang
"While there are plenty of pizzas at Danny Boy’s, a New York City transplant in Downtown LA, hidden at the bottom of the menu is a chicken parmesan sandwich that’s perhaps our favorite in the entire city. It comes on a charcoaled, blistered loaf, one that’s black on the bottom in a way that makes the dough nice and chewy. The chicken is juicy and succulent—smashed down flat and thinly breaded in the way chicken parmigiana should be—and that sauce. Wow. Much richer, and much more garlicky than many of the other red sauces out there, this one tastes like a blast of flavor and spices to the face… in an enjoyable way, of course." - kat hong, brett keating
"GF pizza crust can be a blessing and a curse. It’s often dry, flavorless, and thin (why always so thin?), but your consolation is you get to eat pizza. At Danny Boy’s in DTLA (which also has a location in Westwood) you’ll find a place that puts in the effort. Their thick, chewy, and airy Sicilian margherita slice (coated in sesame seeds) delivers a GF crust we previously thought was unattainable. In addition to a quick GF slice, you can also request the special crust as the base of any of the shop’s whole pizzas." - jean trinh 1, garrett snyder
