Garage Pizza

In Short
More of an after-hours hangout than a neighorhood pizza joint, this hole in the wall is where Silver Lake hipsters (is there any other kind?) can be found until 3am on weekends, rocking to a soundtrack of punky garage bands. Framed by cozy brick walls splattered with rock posters, the storefront hosts Sunset Junction locals all day, but after midnight it transforms into ground zero for an Eastside crowd sporting tattoos, piercings and vintage Iggy Pop tees. A stream of scenesters from local clubs like the Echo or Spaceland stop in for thin crust NY-style pies or slices. Pizzas are tricked out with intriguing combos like the Inferno, which marries hot Italian sausage, jalapenos, pepperoncini, red onion, garlic and crushed red pepper, while the off-menu Garage Pie--an homage to Malo across the street--sports ground beef and pickles.
