Pizzana Information

The first time Chef Daniele Uditi, fresh from Napoli, served his pizza at a friend's backyard gathering, Candace Nelson knew. It had the soul of Napoli, reimagined for the way America eats pizza. Together, they set out to share that magic with the world. Founded by James Beard-recognized Chef Daniele Uditi and entrepreneur Candace Nelson, Pizzana reimagines traditional Neapolitan pizza through its signature Neo-Neapolitan style: slow-proofed dough, imported Italian ingredients, and flavors that honor tradition while embracing modern creativity. The real soul of Napoli in every pie. Since opening in Los Angeles in 2017, Pizzana has earned the Michelin Bib Gourmand Award multiple years in a row, been named twice to the Los Angeles Times 101 Best Restaurants list, and grown to serve guests across Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston. More than a restaurant, Pizzana is an authentic Italian experience—a place where exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and meaningful connection come together around the table.
