800 Degrees
Los Angeles, California
Who says fast food has to be bad? The folks at 800 Degrees Pizzeria certainly don't. Founded by the minds behind Umami Burger, this Westwood Village spot serves up made-to-order pies that cook in about a minute, thanks to the intense heat of their wood-burning ovens — hence the name. Despite the fast cooking time, each pizza is made with care, using California-grown tomatoes, locally-made fresh mozzarella, handcrafted crust made using Molino San Felice flour, local vegetables, and the best possible charcuterie. In other words, it's first-class pizza, churned out in just a little more time than it takes to pay for a Little Caesar's Hot & Ready.
