Bub and Grandma's Pizza Is Serving Los Angeles's Best New Slices

"You're here for the pizza, so start with a cheese slice: Like a French omelet or a pilsner, there's nowhere to hide with a plain pie. Bub's version is pristine with bright tomato sauce tempered by dried herbs and sourdough tang throughout. They don't claim to be New York style, and that's wise: the pie is a little puffier with a tart crust that yields rather than shatters."

"The Crispy Greens specialty pie is compelling - the bite of pickled chiles plays well with red pepper pesto. It gets dusted with a salty layer of prosciutto breadcrumbs. Salads and starters are more interesting than those of a typical corner pizzeria. The menu lists the Roman-style fried rice balls called supplì, though they seem to sell out quickly. The chopped salad with radicchio, pickled peppers, and beans can be a crunchy consolation prize."

Bub and Grandma's Pizza opened on York Boulevard and quickly attracted hours-long lines. The shop delivers some of Los Angeles's best thin-crust pizza with a pristine cheese slice featuring bright tomato sauce, dried herbs, and sourdough tang. The crust is slightly puffy with a tart, yielding edge rather than a shattering New York-style bite. The Crispy Greens specialty pie combines pickled chiles, red pepper pesto, and prosciutto breadcrumbs. Starters and salads are elevated, including supplì (often sold out) and a chopped salad with radicchio, pickled peppers, and beans. Limited seating and closed dining room encourage ordering ahead or waiting nearby.
