So I was supposed to eat at elsewhere on Saturday night, but I didn't anticipate a huge music event in Downtown LA & I ultimately came to Silver Lake for pizza due to poor parking situation in Downtown LA. Elio's Wood Fire Pizza (originally started in 2019) used to be a mega-popular street pizza spot operating in a parking lot with an Italian-imported wood-fired pizza oven sitting on the back of a pickup truck. Now the hype has died down a bit as I didn't have to wait in line when I came here on Saturday at 7:15 PM.
[Parking]: Parking is Silver Lake is extremely difficult to come by, but Elio's Wood Fire Pizza is located in an open parking lot and it was one of the most hassle-free parking I have ever had in Silver Lake. Free and easy parking!
[Ordering]: I placed an order and cashier said my pizza will be ready in 10-15 minutes. True to cashier's word I did receive my order in 10 minutes.
[Menu]: 9 different 12-inch Neapolitan-style pizza with New York style dough - Cheese, Margherita Pizza, White, Prosciutto, Burrata, Veggie, Tres Carnes, BBQ, and Nutella. They also sell Caesar Salad. Additional toppings cost anywhere from $1 to $2.

Margherita Pizza (Marinara sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil - $13): My goodness what an amazing crispy crust. Mozzarella cheese was in semi-solid form and my pizza slices held the form without cheese dripping.

This is a very underrated pizza spot. 4.5-star on pizza and bump up on convenient parking.
