Pizzana is a critically acclaimed restaurant featuring master pizzaiolo Daniele Uditi’s Neo-Neapolitan pizza. An artisan who learned his craft growing up in Naples, Italy, Daniele came to America with $300 in his pocket and his family’s sixty year old sourdough starter. Blending Southern Italian tradition with Southern California flavors, Daniele redefines classic Neapolitan pizza with radical flavor reinterpretations, such as his Neo Margherita and Cacio e Pepe pizzas. Since opening in 2017, Pizzana has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand Award, landed twice on the Los Angeles Times’ 101 Best Restaurants list and garnered a passionate international following of celebrities and pizza lovers alike. Inspired by their shared passion for pizza, Pizzana was co-founded by Candace & Charles Nelson, the couple behind Sprinkles Cupcakes, with partners Chris & Caroline O’Donnell. Candace also brings her pastry expertise to Pizzana’s dessert menu with Italian-inspired sweets such as Salted Caramel Panna Cotta and Chocolate Olive Oil Cake.
