Description
I’m Stephanie Izard, and today I’m going deep into the LA underground to find the "Secret Pizza" club. 🤫 We’re ditching the fancy Italian restaurants to find the pioneers who are making award-winning pies in tiny apartments, mobile vans, and even hip-hop cinnamon roll shops.
I’m teaming up with my guide, Sean Lango, the mastermind behind Secret Pizza. He started by leaving pizzas on a stool outside his apartment until his building manager almost evicted him! Now, he’s showing me the hidden world of LA’s best "limited drops." 📦🍕
In this episode:
• The Apartment Legend: Sean Lango teaches me how to stretch the perfect "New Haven style" dough and reveals why his Sicilian thick crust is the best in the city. 🏙️
• The "Alicia Keys" Roll: We head to All About the Cinnamon, a hip-hop-themed popup run by Lindsay Sears. She shows us her "secret menu" item: a one-of-a-kind pizza cinnamon roll stuffed with marinara and mozzarella. 💃🥨
• The Sidewalk Drop: We meet Tim Stanton of Timmy’s Pizza (named after his cat!). He brings us a Chicago Tavern-style thin crust right to the street corner, topped with fresh piped ricotta and honey. 🍯🐈
• The 420-Pizza Van: We finish in a park with Jason Winters of Speak Cheezy. He built a full artisanal kitchen inside a van using zip ties and cement! We’re making a "Tie Dye" burrata pie and a Detroit-style "Truffle Shuffle" with a crispy cheese fricot crust. 🚐🔥
If you're only eating at places with a sign on the door, you're missing out on the best slices in LA.
Would you buy pizza from a van in the park? Let me know your favorite "secret" spot in the comments! 👇
