"New Yorkers might not want to hear this, but Los Angeles is a pizza town, and an excellent one at that. Yelp Elites (who are trusted reviewers) ranked LA's Bestia second out of its best 100 U.S. pizza spots. Here, wood-burning-oven fired pizzas reign supreme, thanks to three-day fermented pizza dough and incredible ingredients. Customers' favorite pizza? The unusual Spicy Lamb Sausage pizza is a bestseller according to the owner, with fresh mozzarella, mint leaves, tomato confit, sliced serrano peppers, and Grana Padano cheese."
"Part of the beauty of Bestia's approach to pizza is the simplicity of ingredients; it's rare to see a pizza on the menu with more than five different items. Other top-rated Bestia favorites include a classic Margherita pizza, simple yet outstanding with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil; a Burrata pizza with sweet-yet-briny Castelvetrano olives and fermented chiles; and a Sage and Mortadella pizza with caciocavallo cheese and aged balsamic."
Bestia in Los Angeles earned high acclaim, ranking second among top 100 U.S. pizza spots by trusted reviewers. The restaurant focuses on wood-burning-oven-fired pizzas made from three-day fermented dough and high-quality ingredients. A bestseller topping is Spicy Lamb Sausage with fresh mozzarella, mint leaves, tomato confit, sliced serrano peppers, and Grana Padano. Menu pizzas emphasize simplicity, rarely using more than five ingredients. Signature offerings include Margherita with San Marzano tomatoes, Burrata with Castelvetrano olives and fermented chiles, and Sage and Mortadella with caciocavallo and aged balsamic. Fermentation deepens dough flavor and wood-fired cooking creates blistered, charred crusts. Bestia opened in 2012 and helped transform the Arts District.
