Los Angeles Times: The best by-the-slice and delivery pizza you’re likely to get in L.A. It’s a cheerful, casual spot offering New York-style pie, founded by a New York transplant who saw a niche that needed filling.
846 N LA Cienega Blvd (at Willoughby Ave.), Los Angeles, CA
Pizzeria · Mid-City West · 44 tips and reviews
Los Angeles Times: The fresh mozz is the truer Margherita, with beautiful hunks of cheese, but the cheaper version is also good, if closer to a basil-spiked cheese pizza.
Pizzeria · Westwood Village · 116 tips and reviews
Los Angeles Times: There are two Margheritas on the menu: classic and Margherita DOC. The classic is the most affordable personal pie on this list, a great little pizza with fresh mozz and a decent chewy crush.
667 E Colorado Blvd, (at N El Molino Ave), Pasadena, CA
Pizzeria · Playhouse District · 52 tips and reviews
Los Angeles Times: This is another build-your-own pizza concept. Blaze’s Margherita is called the Red Vine, and it features soft blobs of mozzarella with sauce and cherry tomatoes on top. $7.45 for a small personal pie.
Los Angeles Times: The Margherita D.O.P. is a pleasure, with fresh ingredients and a nice char to the crust. If you must add a topping, I’d recommend the spicy peppadew. $12 for a 10-inch, $18 for an 18-inch.
8075 W 3rd St (at Crescent Heights Blvd), Los Angeles, CA
Pizzeria · Mid-City West · 32 tips and reviews
Los Angeles Times: The Margherita is top notch, and for an extra $2, you can get the Margherita Plus. This one cheats a little because it uses basil-infused olive oil, Grana Padano and soft milky spoonfuls of burrata.
Los Angeles Times: The Margherita may not be the headliner at Pizzeria Mozza, but it’s a winning pie. It’s hard to beat the signature crust, with its thin center and tall, pillowy edges.
Italian Restaurant · Downtown Los Angeles · 249 tips and reviews
Los Angeles Times: Bestia offers a range of quality Italian fare that encompasses pizza. The Margherita is a beauty, all bubbly mozz and bright tomato sauce, with fragrant basil on top.

Pizzeria · East Hollywood · 27 tips and reviews
Los Angeles Times: The best Margherita in town comes from this artisanal pizza operation on Hollywood Boulevard. Mother Dough is named for an involved process of dough-making that yields a beautiful crust.
