"On Wednesday night in Chinatown the sidewalk was filled with several mobile pizza ovens. Cardboard boxes of every color and design shuffled in and out of La Sorted's, where the pizzeria once again served as a home base offering food-relief for anyone in need. Some of the region's most famous chefs came together to cook pizzas, sandwiches and tiramisu cups, which then spread to all corners of the city. The LA Pizza Alliance was back, and twice the size of last year's operation."
"The LA Pizza Alliance formed in response to the city's 2025 wildfires, and in the last year has grown to nearly double its members and event participants. This year, the coalition's event served roughly 1,800 whole pizzas across L.A. to anyone in need. The LA Pizza Alliance is planning even more events for the year. On Wednesday night in Chinatown the sidewalk was filled with several mobile pizza ovens."
LA Pizza Alliance formed after the city's January 2025 wildfires when roughly two dozen local pizzerias banded together to feed Los Angeles. Mobile ovens and a Chinatown hub at La Sorted's allowed chefs to prepare pizzas, sandwiches and desserts for distribution across the city. Volunteers coordinated deliveries to people affected by the Altadena and Palisades fires, immigration raids and other hardships. The coalition nearly doubled its members and participants compared with last year and delivered about 1,800 whole pizzas plus bagels, salads and other items. Organizers emphasized a continued commitment to provide warm meals and plan additional events this year.
