Celebrate National Pizza Week At Our Top 10 L.A. Pizza Spots

Olio Pizzeria

[Margherita Pizza] Former Trader Joe's snack curator and veteran of the Department of Defense, Brad Kent, is not just your average chef. An actively defensive mind, Kent prepares his delectable pizza structure with the crust first in mind, hence his choice of oven, use of almond and olive wood, and proportion of toppings at Olio. In an interview with Zagat, Kent claims that there is a science and creativity that goes hand and hand when making good pizza: "You’re controlling the flame, the fermentation of the dough, the portions of the sauces and toppings, and all of that is critical in how the pizza tastes." French bread made in an Italian Style, Olio's fluffy, crunch-and-chew crust calls only for the simplest of toppings. Olio's menu includes a classic range of margherita, marinara, three cheese, Tuscan sausage, pepperoni, and more. Step into Olio and let crust steal the show!
