Great New York–style pizza with amazing flavor. The cheese and crust were really good and hit that classic NYC style. The only small downside was that the dough was a bit dry, likely because I grabbed slices from the counter — I’m sure a fresh slice would be even better. Service was fast and friendly, the place was clean, and overall it was a great experience. Definitely worth checking out!

Old school dark grunge atmosphere, not bad. Bought a vegan 18 in round and a vegan sicilian and they were HUGE. Highly recommend the Sicilian as it had nice dough texture, good sauce and perfect cheese (vegan). The 18 round was okay, but VERY thin. Like paper and was lightly sauced. But you get A LOT of pizza for the value. I would definitely go again and when it's fresh

TLDR: Divey pizza place with vegan slice options. On a food tour, I came across Pizzanista on a Sunday. Any other day, I wouldn't risk braving DTLA traffic and parking, but I was able to find easy free street parking. The place is dark, with loud music, and features 12+ slices, of which 4 are vegan. The place is solid, but not necessarily the best pizza in LA. It satisfies your cravings and isn't obtusely priced. 4 vegan slices plus tip around $30. Service is friendly and I got my 4 pizza slices in under 4 minutes, perhaps helped by the fact that there were no competing orders. It tasted great while fresh, with a bit of chewy mouthful. I ordered 3 thin crusts: vegan pepperoni, vegan veggies, vegan seitan meats Jesus, and a Sicilian style focaccia thick crust. My favorites were vegan seitan meats Jesus (what loaded name) that had bits of crispy vegan bacon and pepperoni, and the vegan veggies (very juicy). The other 2 were passable. Overall, Pizzanista was a better than average vegan pizza experience. Not in the same league as Hot Tongue, but if you are in DTLA arts district, a solid choice.

WOW! The Best Vegan Pizza in Town! Whether by the slice or a whole box, this place is a must-try! I had the Vegan 3 Meat pizza, and it was hands down the most delicious Vegan pizza I’ve ever had. It tastes just like the real deal, but without any animal suffering. The slice was surprisingly huge. The crust was slightly crunchy, with that authentic Italian flavor, and the vegan cheese was perfect—no weird aftertaste at all. I was very satisfied. A thoughtful touch they offer chili flakes and nutritional yeast for extra flavor and protein!!! This place deserves 100 stars—totally worth the drive. The staff is very kind and friendly!! I only wish they had more locations because this vegan pizza is that good! Highly recommended!
