"What It Is: A casual pizza spot on Melrose Perfect For: Casual Midweek Dinner Whether you think deep dish pizza is god’s gift to humanity or a heinous pile of Italian treasony, one thing is certain - LA needs more great versions of it. Blackbird Pizza Shop opened late last year along Melrose and unfortunately, this version is not great. However, it is decent and their craft beer list is great, so if you’re in the area, this casual spot is good to have in your back pocket. Verdict: A solid spot for beer and pizza while you shop. Not making it onto the Hit List." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
