Ozzy's Apizza

If you’re the type of person who turns up your nose at soft-centered Neapolitan pies, this New Haven-style pizzeria in North Hollywood just might make your ideal pizza. Crunchy, light and extremely crushable, the whole pies at Ozzy’s Apizza (pronounced “abeetz”) are a breath of fresh air in a new-school pizza scene dominated by Detroit-style squares and various styles of wood-fired thin crust pizzas. The classic tomato pie (the Liotta) sprinkled with parmesan cheese is a must-order for first-timers, but meatier, cheesier creations by Connecticut natives Chris Wallace and Craig Taylor are just as delicious for those seeking more oomph to their pizza. The duo has also added New Haven’s iconic clam pizza (cheekily titled “You’re Welcome”) to their menu—a white pie dotted with littleneck clams, pecorino, oregano and olive oil.
