I'm surprised Gridskipper put Mulberry on the list of best pizza in Los Angeles

There is also Rocco's Pizza which is the closest I have found to your neighborhood NYC pizza joint that you order from on the way home. No fancy gourmet pizzas, just good cheese, sauce, crust, and toppings. We have only been to the Wilshire location, not the Vermont location.

That list is sorely lacking. Obviously Mozza belongs but the pies there would make it on a best-of list for the nation. Vito's definitely belongs, Lamonica's is kind of okay... and the rest are overrated. Casa Bianca is a cardboard pie without the (admittedly good) toppings. Pizza Buona is greasy mom and pop. Mulberry is an expensive sham. Nicky D's is about as average as you can get for a wood-burning oven.

Where's Joe's of Bleeker? It's average in NYC, it's a revelation in Los Angeles. Village is inconsistent, but it's still better than the others. Antica Pizzeria belongs, even Bollini's -- if you catch them on the right night. For a city with so few good options for pizza, it's amazing that gridskipper missed so many of them.
