Now relocated to a Lomita brick-and-mortar, this former pop-up serves a one-of-a-kind Detroitish-style square pizza made with “Hokkaidough,” a dairy- and egg-free pizza dough with a texture similar to Japanese milk bread. The browned edges resemble your typical grandma slice, but the plush foundation and pale golden bottom are what distinguish Schellz’s pizza from other square pizza pop-ups around town. Though the classic cheese lets the unique crust shine, I’d also recommend the fully loaded house pies, like the Special (Black Forest bacon, chopped pepperoni, sliced onions, jalapeños, fresh roasted pineapple, fresh serrano) or the Monster Zero, a hatch chili-loaded version of barbecue chicken. Just note the modestly sized squares here run on the pricey side—a large cheese pizza, which feeds only two, goes for $23—though they’re well worth the premium.
