Los Angeles knows good pizza, but Prince Street Pizza in DTLA has turned simple squares into a full-blown neighborhood habit. 🍕
Locals come for the thick, crispy-edged Sicilian slices, bold sauces, and seriously cheesy tops that hit hard after work, after drinks, or after a long day in the Arts District.
It’s the kind of spot where one slice turns into two, and one visit turns into a weekly ritual.
How Prince Street Pizza Won LA’s Heart
Prince Street Pizza keeps it simple: make great dough, use big flavors, and serve slices hot and fast.
The DTLA shop brings the same Sicilian and Neapolitan-style pies that made its New York location famous, giving Los Angeles a taste of that bold East Coast attitude.
People noticed the crispy-bottomed Sicilian squares first: crunchy corners, soft interiors, and toppings that reach every edge.
Then the sauces sealed the deal, from spicy Fra Diavolo to creamy vodka, each slice with its own personality.
Locals love the flexibility: order by the slice or grab a whole pie. It works for solo lunches, date nights, or group hangs.
The menu leans bold with pepperoni cups, hot honey, spicy sauces, and layered cheeses, so every order feels like a new reason to come back.
Why It Became a Go-To Spot
Its location in the Arts District helps, surrounded by bars, galleries, and late-night energy.
It’s the perfect “meet me here” spot for after-work cravings or midnight bites.
Word spread the classic way: friends recommending friends, snapshots of cheesy squares on Instagram, and regulars bringing new faces to “try this one.”
Now, Prince Street Pizza feels like part of the Los Angeles pizza scene, substantial, straightforward, and worth every bite. 🍕🔥
