"Pizzanista! (exclamation point included) is an eclectic mix of skateboard culture, local ingredients, and delicious pizza. You can go one direction and indulge in the sightly blasphemous Meat Jesus pizza (pepperoni, sausage AND bacon), or do a 180 (or a backside 180 ollie, look it up) and order a vegetarian or vegan OR gluten-free slice. On the weekend, try out their Mac & Cheese pizza. Wash it down with a beer or any of their selection of off-beat sodas (Lenin-ade, anyone?), and maybe swipe a $1 day-old slice for later." - verynice

"Even if you’ve only ever had Pizzanista when you’re drunkenly stumbling around the Arts District at midnight on a Saturday, you should still know about it for delivery. They serve whole pies or do by-the-slice, and they’re across-the-board cheesy, greasy, and wonderful. If it’s Sunday, you need to get the vegan mac and cheese pie. It’s entirely too much, and as such, perfect. Order online for pick-up or delivery." - brett keating

"“I grew up in Los Angeles as a skateboarder, so I learned the city by exploring the streets and filming tricks at spots with friends. Salman Agah, a legendary pro skateboarder, owns this pizza spot, so whenever I feel the urge to skate a block or two to clear my head, I end up cruising over for a slice at Pizzanista. It reminds me of skating as a teenager to the local skate shop to meet up and hang with friends.”" - amber gibson

"It’s not very often you find a pizza by-the-slice joint that’s worth getting in your car and driving across the city for, but Pizzanista! is just that place. Located on the south end of the Arts District, this tiny little spot is cranking out some of the best by-the-slice pizza in the city right now. Everything from their margherita to their soppressata and mushroom is phenomenal, but it’s their white pizza that claims top prize for us. Looking to start your week off right? They do a mac & cheese pizza on Sundays only. Choose your best life." - Brant Cox

If you’re looking for great Pizza with a pretty relaxed atmosphere this is your place. They offer Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free and regular options. They also carry a small selection of beer. If you’re Vegan I really recommend the Vegan Sicilian cheese, I also tried the veggie, pepperoni and mac and cheese but Sicilian cheese was definitely my favorite. My hubby is not Vegan and he also loved the none vegan options. They sell by the slice which works out great for us.

This location in downtown is a small spot mostly used for to go orders or a quick bite. You got a few booths down the kitchen area and some communal table seating in the front with a counter top along the windows and a few tables outside. As for the pies! Pretty solid by the slice pizza joint. Slices are big and with robust sauces and ingredients. The crust is nice and thin and crunchy. I just wish it had some flavor in it. I get that most of it is in the toppings but a seasoned crust goes a long way. That said it’s a good spot to run for a quick slice or share in on a big pie.

Some of the best pizza in LA! Prices are reasonable, the staff is nice and works quickly, and there are a lot of vegan and vegetarian options. Their soda machine also has Shirley Temples which is a nice touch!

I've always seen this spot but never tried it until recently. Yes, there are 🍕 that is already made. I got the pepperoni! The slices are big, thin, lightly sauced with chunkier smaller pepperoni slices. I thought it was good and flavorful. It got busy during lunch. I think it's worth the try. It has always been a busy spot and is convenient for downtown workers.

Saw a review of the Mac n cheese pizza on instagram a while back and bookmarked this place to try when I was in the area. Happened to be driving through DTLA this weekend and decided this would be a quick and easy place to stop for a quick bite. Wow, it was better than I expected. The crust was the perfect crispness, the sauce was incredibly flavorful, and the Mac n cheese added a special cheesiness to the pizza that was really enjoyable. $5.75 for one slice. I will definitely come back and try it again the next time I’m in the area. They also sell day-old slices for $1, which I thought was a great deal, but the only options that were available when I was there were the vegan cheese slices, so I passed.

Hard to believe it’s the top-rated pizza around, it is definitely not. Clearly asked the counter to bring pizza slices separately: one plate with vegetarian only and another without. They messed up and gave us both on the same plates where meat pizza was next to vegetarian. Fine, asked them to fix it and make it again. The person in the kitchen gave us a nasty look because he was forced to trash it. Clearly it’s not the fault of the customers who asked you to be accurate from the beginning! One more thing, the taste is very mediocre. Absolutely not worth it.

Great pizza, been coming here off and on for years now. They’re consistent, the dough is nice crunchy but not too thin. Sauce is sweet, and the pie is always fresh. Get their Sicilian, it’s delicious, and will keep you full for awhile. 🤙🏻

Very tasty pizza. Thin crust that provides the perfect texture to the toppings. They have a good variety of drinks, including beer and wine.
