Secret Pizza

At this point, riffing on New York-style pie is about as common as exhaling carbon dioxide. But Secret Pizza is the only LA spot on par with East Coast slice joints. This pick-up-only operation in Montecito Heights—run by a New Jersey transplant—makes us want to call Infatuation NYC to brag. Each slice folds with a distinct crunch. Soft, springy edges won’t cut the roof of your mouth. The pies at this one-man show have nothing to hide. Aside from the occasional pepperoni, we don't even like to add toppings—just sweet, slightly acidic tomato sauce and fresh mozz. (What else do you need?) There’s a link in their Instagram bio for easy pre-ordering and a patio in front of the shop where you can dive into your pizza right away.
