Neapolitan-inspired pizzas with unique toppings and gluten-free crusts
"While dining in offers the optimal Neapolitan-pizza experience, the pies are up to the task for couch consumption: available cut and ready to go or with the option to finish the bake at home. The crust is "chewy without moving into gummy territory," and the dollops of melted mozzarella make for a perfect pair with the acidic sauce. The classic margherita is reliably solid, and standout alternatives include the spinaci with basil pesto and the diavola with spicy salami. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
"Seeking naturally-leavened pizza in Echo Park, I go for Pizza Ananda's pop-up at the wine bar, where they'll be firing up pies from 5 p.m. until sold out." - Rebecca Roland
"This soul food restaurant serves brunch like you’d have it in the South - biscuits and gravy, shrimp and grits, maple bacon, and chicken and waffles pack the menu. The twist? It’s all vegan. In May 2021, chef Velvet Jacobs turned her plant-based pop-up into a restaurant and now offers some of the best soul food around. If it’s your first time here, get the soul plate - it comes with all the heavy hitters, like plant-based chicken, shrimp, unbelievably creamy mac and cheese, cornbread, collard greens, and sweet candied yams for dessert." - kat hong

"Fans of the local chain Pizzana can now recreate pizza magic at home using kits designed by chef Daniele Uditi: the pizzeria’s signature fermented doughs ($5), San Marzano tomato sauce ($3), and cheese ($10) are sold separately or as a complete kit that yields two pizzas for $23." - Cathy Chaplin
