Will second the Gorilla Pies recommendation. Went yesterday and got the Date Night meal. Salad, wings, and a pizza for $50 to share was well worth it. The wings were really good, a nice contrast of crispy and saucy, and the homemade ranch was a perfect complement. The pizzas we tried, a full reuben and a slice of the Abloh, were both tasty. I really liked the addition of the caraway seeds to the crust of the reuben. The dough has a nice taste and is well developed, and the leftover slices reheated well and made a nice breakfast snack this morning 
However, one thing that was frustrating was the burned flour dust on the bottom of the pizzas. Sweep that oven floor more frequently please…my hands were turning black while eating my slices! Also, and this is more of a personal preference since I know a lot of people would disagree, I don’t need a large poofy cornicione. Yes, the dough is tasty and good enough to eat on its own, but I want pizza. Give me toppings!!

I like Gorilla Pies, but still prefer Pizza Wagon for its simplicity and sauce which is amazing. They’re definitely different beasts though.

Agree.
Must say that @Helper_Monkey’s words are not as fighting as I had first thought (after trying Gorilla Pies this weekend for the first time):
They only had 2 types of slices available when we went (on a Sunday, I think): The Kitten and The Basic Benny. Partner was actually not sure which place (Gorilla vs. Pizza Wagon) he preferred. If you want a more complex pie (esp sauce wise), Gorilla for sure. Gorilla unquestionably has the better crust (I don’t particularly like the crust alone from Pizza Wagon).
But I think Pizza Wagon is also more than the sum of its parts and that there is something just “right” when you take a bite of everything.
I’m glad to have both options.

Pizzana is coming to Sherman Oaks?
And also a nugget…” the recently-opened Uncle Paulie’s in Studio City” I was wondering when they’d open.

Tried it yesterday, kinda felt the same. Dough was bit too crunchy, strayed too far from slight bready texture type chew.

To each his own. I know several people that don’t like Pizza Wagon nor Prime nor Grimaldi’s nor anything New York-style. I really do not like to associate with them 
But those are (RIP Grimaldi’s) my personal favorites.
Agree with @paranoidgarliclover, the sum is greater than the parts.
Hey, but many people here love Neapolitan, I can’t stand it. Thank God we have more than one place to choose from and that the pizza game in this city is light years ahead of where it was even 10 years ago.
The thing about Pizza Wagon that I PERSONALLY would like them to change is i wish they would develop their dough a little more, and make it slightly thinner the way they used to when they first opened. BTW, Anthony definitely makes a better pie than his employees.

Two Doughs opened a b & m in Agoura.
Any intel?
yep, shared a great pie there a while ago! I def need to go back!
is that still true, Gr8pimpin? have you asked Anthony or any other pie maker to make sure it’s thin?
it’s all about the crust! what does it take to source quality toppings?
yes, Gorilla Pies was legit…ive gotta get back there
Update! so, a friend and I went to Bianco today after each of us had a great experience last week…we were there at 1pm and devastatingly saw it was closed…I know it’s a “soft opening” and hours could be subject to change, but I have no clue if they even opened today, so be forewarned, check if they’re open…so, after thinking about it I suggested id be into giving Danny Boy’s again…we split a pie rather than going with slices just to be fair…we had a half sausage & peppers, talk meatball & ricotta.
the pie looked great as did all the pizzas in the case…as I brought the pie to our table, I grabbed my camera a couple fotos of visual evidence…as I was shooting, a guy came up to me and asked if I was there as a “pro” shooting and tasting for publication…I explained my situation and then asked if he was connected to the pizzeria and he said he was “Danny.”
I admitted my first visit was disappointing bc the crust was soft and floppy and all the cheese and toppings came off on one bite…
Well, we each had a couple “biggish” slices of each and I agreed with my friend and later told Danny that it was much better than my other experience…sausage was tasty, meat ball was tasty and it all worked…but after thinking about it a while more, I’m afraid that again the crust had no crunch at all…Danny’s advertises as NYC style pizza but this is a problem…very flavorful pizza, great, juicy & spicy meats, fresh cheeses with a good “pull,” but the crust wasn’t right…
and worst of all, my friend insisted he knew the area and told me to pull into a garage at Wells Fargo complex on Hope St…(to be honest, he suggested looking for a meter but I had no problem last time) well, I get to the cashier and it tells me the parking tab is $40!!! Danny Boys was in the next door bldg and this lot didn’t validate…nor was it well posted…So, extreme and costly disappointment and a too flaccid crust to boot! sorry for the verbiage!
