Sizable slices & whole pies, vegan options, casual vibe






























"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

"Dreaming of the best pizza by the slice in LA? Turn your attention towards Pizzanista. Located in the Arts District, this tiny little spot has everything from classic margherita to white to a mac and cheese pizza only served on Sundays. And everything is great. They also serve beer, but you can’t think about that right now because you’re currently sweating out the beer from last night." - brant cox
"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've noticed that Pizzanista is now officially open in San Marino just south of Pasadena, operating limited daytime hours and selling slices and whole 18-inch pies to those in the know; the longtime Arts District, New York–ish style pizza spot occupies 2461 Mission Street and doubles as a full-on skateboard shop where you can pick up merchandise, stickers, wheels, and more. They even run half-off and free pizza deals with certain skateboard purchases at certain times, and for now their hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Friday through Sunday." - Farley Elliott

"Hiring up for its newest location in San Marino, Pizzanista’s outpost at 2461 Mission Street will sell pies, slices, and soft-serve ice cream while also doubling as a skateboard shop for the neighborhood." - Farley Elliott
