🍕 L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele (LA) — An Honest Review

This legendary Naples pizzeria — founded in 1870 — now has an LA outpost. Some call it the world's best pizza, but let's be real: the true champion is Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix, AZ. Compared to Bianco — and even local favorite Sei — L'Antica is just… fine. ✅ The Pros: Authentic Neapolitan-style crust: soft, moist, well-baked. Decent ingredients — tomato and cheese flavors come through (though Sei and Bianco do it better). Sausage has a bit of depth — above average. Nice atmosphere, large pizzas. ❌ The Cons: Hours changed without online notice — annoying. Crust, while classic, lacks complexity. Bianco’s crust — made with rare White Sonoran wheat and a genius balance of fire + crisp — is in another league. Expensive for what you get. Bianco hasn’t raised prices; here, you pay for the name. Ingredient quality falls short of Sei and miles behind Bianco. That little packet of chili flakes? Feels like a shortcut. 📍 Location: 1534 N McCadden Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90028 (also other branches) Final take: A decent Neapolitan pizza — but if you want unforgettable, seek out Sei in LA or make the pilgrimage to Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix. #LosAngelesEats #NeapolitanPizza #PizzaReview #LAnticaPizzeria #ItalianFoodLA #FoodCritic #NotTheBest #PizzaLovers #LAFoodScene #TrySeiInstead
