Pizzana

From the founders of Sprinkles Cupcakes, comes a pizza joint that was borne from a fancy Hollywood party.

Here you'll find a neo-Neapolitan style pizza. The dough is fermented for 48 hours, which gives it true Neapolitan pizza qualities, but with a firm, not floppy, base.

Start with the carciofi arrostiti is charred artichoke hearts and crispy baby artichokes mixed with lemon, pine nuts, Parmesan and olive oil, and is a great way to start your meal with plenty to share. The Caesar salad is made with little gem salad tossed with fried capers, Parmesan, pizza crust croutons and a Calabrian chile Caesar dressing.

As for pizza, be sure to get the signature pizza – the Cacio e Pepe, which is topped with provoloncino di agerola, fior di latte, parmigiano crema and cracked black pepper. This pizza is a unique and creative twist on the traditional pasta dish. The cracked black pepper brings out the flavors of the cheese. It was firm where it needed to be firm, yet light and airy and cooked to Neapolitan perfection.

And save room for the salted caramel panna cotta. It's amazing.
