Pizza Wagon of Brooklyn

Like the name says, this no-frills Valley pizza shop is straight from New York City, where owner Anthony Zingaro’s family first opened up shop in 1966. Using the same exact recipes, Pizza Wagon of Brooklyn offers one of L.A.’s best New York-style slices with the kind of pizza pedigree that even the pickiest East Coast transplant can’t object to. Stepping into the small shop (with a hidden back parking area accessible from the alley off Van Nuys), the affordable slices of pizza served by employees straight out of a stoner comedy sport a thin, crispy crust dressed with marinara sauce and cheese that plenty of Sherman Oaks locals simply can’t enough of.
