Pizzana - Marina del Rey

It’s quite the ordeal to order on DoorDash, with the expanded range fee and a high tip for the poor Dasher stuck in southbound traffic. 

But wow, is it worth every penny, even lukewarm by the time it arrives. 


The Funghi is smothered in fresh seasonal mushrooms. The mozzarella base is mild, allowing the earthy fragrance to float right through. Fontina adds a creamy richness, caramelized onion a bit of gooey sweet. The crust is a perfect chew, though I imagine it lost some crisp along the way. No matter, the dough is delightful. 


Sweet and spicy dominate the Diavolo, with long slices of salami with sass and spunk. A sweet drizzle of honey makes it hotter, and the charred shallots finish with just a little hit of bitter ash to ground it. The sauce is toasty and roasty, more smooth than it is tangy.

I really didn't expect to like it this much, but wow, I am in love. Their operation seems a bit more casual and a little less upper crust, but their crust is hardly inferior, and I think their toppings can compete with even the likes of Pizzeria Bianco. Would absolutely pay all the fees to feast on this stuff again.
