People Are Saying Things. Good Things.

We make what some call the best pizza in Los Feliz — thick Sicilian squares, serious ingredients, zero pretense. Turns out the food world noticed too. Here's the paper trail.

In the Press

LAist - Yes, LA pizza is very much a thing. And the rest of the world is about to find out -June 4, 2026

Old Gold Tomato Pies feels like the older punk sibling who got really into the Grateful Dead — adorned with the kind of hippie-meets-hardcore energy that jives perfectly with its Los Feliz surroundings. The classic slice shop vibe is immediately welcoming, and the menu rewards the adventurous. The Crab Rangoon slice is the one to try. Premium lump crab from Indonesia — no imitation stuff here — tastes fresh and pairs well with a cream cheese topping for a rich dairy element. The party doesn't stop there: sweet chili sauce mingles with crispy wonton skins and fresh scallions in a combination that might sound like too much. But the Sicilian crust — light and airy on the inside, crispy on the outside — ties it all together and makes any apprehension about your choice go right out the window.

Score: 7.9 / 10

"The thick, puffy square pies are what you would get if you cross-pollinated Sicilian and Detroit pizza: airy interiors, shatteringly crisp bottoms, and a splat of sweet tomato sauce and gooey cheese on top. Even the most unhinged topping combinations work because the pizza's delicious focaccia-like base shines through."
