Located in a little corner mall in Valley Village at Laurel Canyon and Riverside Drive, you might miss it if you didn't know it was there or have someone tell you about it, but be assured it's a great find.
When we do pizza, we make it Danielle's, my kids even insist we go there, and no place else. We're always offered a slice to share as an appetizer, free of charge, while waiting for our pizza to cook in the wood fired oven. Sometimes (not often) you have to wait if they have a lot of to-go orders, they only have the one oven, but it's SO worth the wait! they have a few tables inside, I know most of their business is to-go, but we've always ate our pizza there because we are outside their delivery area, and we don't mind the drive.
The owners are very nice and we are always made to feel welcome. We usually order a large pepperoni pizza, or 1/2 and 1/2 cheese/pepperoni and it's just the best! My husband is very picky about pizza crust, and he really loves Danielle's. My favorite part is the sauce, it's tangy, I'm told it's a family recipe.
Every once in a while we'll take a piece of the chocolate cake to go for a dessert at home, and it's really good!!
There's no arcade or loud music, it's a small place, with a few tables and a variety of local characters parade through picking up their take-out orders.
Best pizza in LA~
