Antica Pizzeria

Another master toiling in a low-rent location. Even weight-conscious Hollywood flocks to this strip mall where the other tenants include a fitness club, Victoria’s Secret, and the Gap, because owner Peppe Miele crafts perfect Neapolitan-style charred-crust pizza in a wood-fired oven at this second-floor branch of his original L.A. shop.

Best Toppings: The Pizza Siciliana has eggplant, smoked mozzarella, basil, and chopped tomato.
