Secret Pizza — Restaurant in Los Angeles

This place slaps. The assignment was New York style pizza, and they absolutely nailed it. As an east coast transplant, I haven't had good (NY-style) pizza since leaving the tri-state area. To be fair, I've been spoiled by some of the best pizza in the country by living in NYC. But even travelling though a random town in Connecticut, you'd stop by a local pizzeria and be treated to one of the best freaking slices your taste buds have ever experienced. NY-style Pizza here on the left-coast usually has an incredible lack of overall flavor and cardboard-adjacent dough.

Eating the pizza at Secret brought me back to my childhood of grabbing slices from my local za shop who kept their sauce recipe secret, had flavorful and crunchy dough, and knew to finish their pizzas with good olive oil and salt for an extra flavor explosion. When I ate at Secret Pizza I made sure to just get a regular slice of cheese--the best way to benchmark pizza quality, and let me assure you-- the base pizza itself is incredibly flavorful and good. I finished my meal so satisfied and happy.

Oh, and don't sleep on their chocolate chip cookies. Unbelievably good. Maybe even my favorite ccc in all LA? Don't miss it.

My point is, shell out the bucks and enjoy some good pizza. If you're used to LA pizza maybe you won't notice the difference, but that's a you problem, pal. Let the rest of us enjoy the only good za...

Oh man… The ABSOLUTE BEST SHAGGIN’ PIE I’ve had YET! This is Joe Smallbox( NOT my Actual last name. We’ll get into that). I work as a Metro bus operator and for now.. (I’m still low man on the totem pole..) I have an assignment on the weekend that allows me to have a layover (break) close to there establishment. My best mate told me about them. Thursday is a walk in special of 2 slices and a drink for under $15? I don’t remember the actual price so make sure to ask. So far I’ve ordered 2 different pies. First was the Accidental pepperoni. The other was the Margherita. One size. 18”. Even cold it holds…! Or the square thickness.. have yet to try.. So. Since I drive a bus. I can’t very well have a giant 18” pizza pie box on my dash in the bus. Obstruction of view, Can’t stand it up behind the chair.. there’s just No Way. So. Thankfully these guys are very understanding. When you walk in, just ask them to put it in a small box. Reason being is that their website doesn’t offer any custom instructions. Nor a phone number. Remember this is a “Secret”. So it’s advisable to change your name/last name to your custom ask. That’s It! They have Shirts! In store only. I’ll be grabbing a couple. Hope this helps. I also don’t live any shaggin’ where close to LA (1&1/2hrs on a good day) but now I want to Just to be able to have they’re...

Some secrets are meant to be kept. I was sooo disappointed about how disappointing this pizza was. I really love a speakeasy/code word/gotta be in-the-know experience, and I really LOVE pizza, so I fully expected this to become my new obsession. Alas, the pizza was lackluster at best. The sauce is pretty good, but nothing worth mentioning or ever even thinking about again. The only redeeming part of the pizza was my topping choice: extra cheese. But cheese is inherently good, so this isn't a credit to Secret Pizza - this is just science. The crust was the biggest let-down; it was soggy and tasted burnt. It had no flavor beyond burnt. I ended up scraping off the toppings and leaving 3/4 of the crust naked and sad. If I hadn't had to set an alarm to order the pizza, wait several days to pick up the pizza, or paid $30+ to receive the pizza, I wouldn't have felt compelled to share my experience with the rest of you. And I may have even drunkenly ordered this pizza again. But this was a notable waste of my time and money, so I want the rest of you pizza experience seekers to know what I now know: the secret is that it's bad. It's bad pizza. Sorry, kids. I'm...
