Pizzanista

"»Pizza by the Slice New Yorkers might claim otherwise, but L.A. has great pizza by the slice—and Pizzanista! proves it. The key is a strong base: The local chain makes its dough by drawing on a centuries-old sourdough culture from Naples that produces a crispy, flavorful crust. The White slice ($3.80) is a study in simple perfection, with nothing more than mozzarella, creamy globs of ricotta, olive oil, and salt. The Meat Jesus ($4.55) is delightfully decadent, topped with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon. Whichever you choose, the slice is right."
