Dough Daddy

I’ve tried every high-profile place slinging Detroit-style pizza in Los Angeles (Dtown Pizzeria, Emmy Squared, Pi LA—plus other non-specialists) and this underground West Adams pop-up is the best of the bunch. Despite the abundance of Wisconsin brick cheese and pepperoni (if you choose), the thick slices offer a strikingly balanced mix of toppings, cheese and sauce. A product of the pandemic, Dough Daddy releases weekly pickup and delivery times (usually on Wednesdays) for most Fridays, Saturdays and the following Wednesdays. The pop-up's delivery radius is roughly within a 15 mile radius, which puts Dough Daddy's amazing Detroit-style squares within reach for much of Los Angeles. The process to get it might be a little convoluted for those used to the convenience of third-party delivery apps or Pizza Hut, the phenomenal squares are worth the extra effort.
