Quarter Sheets

"Born as a pandemic pop-up on the porch of Aaron Lindell and Hannah Ziskin’s Glendale home, Quarter Sheets opened in the former Trencher space in 2022 and has gained a cult-like following for its crispy, well-sauced, pan-style pizzas. While Lindell takes charge of the pizzas, Ziskin is a cake whiz, whipping up layered slab cakes and princess cakes, alongside other rotating desserts. At first, the tight dining room was walk-in only, but these days the restaurant takes reservations, making securing a table marginally easier. If dining in on a Wednesday or Sunday, watch out for the bar pies, a rotating thin-crust pizza that has been topped in the past with the likes of bacon, Chinese eggplant, and gravy. Even if getting a table isn’t in the cards, it’s an essential LA experience to hunch over Quarter Sheets slices, balancing box in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, on the corner of Sunset and Portia. — Rebecca Roland, associate editor" - Eater Staff

"What started as a pandemic pop-up is now a successful brick-and-mortar pizza-and-cake restaurant in Echo Park. Aaron Lindell and Hannah Ziskin are a match made in pizza-cake heaven; Lindell makes Detroit-style pizzas while Ziskin zeroes in on some of the best desserts in town, which are layered slab cakes, princess cakes, and thick slices of mud pie. The place now takes reservations which makes it easier for those who plan ahead, but walk-ins can still try to brave the crowds during meal times." - Eater Staff

"A pan-style pizza slice, with its inch-high edges and sturdy cheese layer, is the perfect on-the-go option (especially if you're running late to the game.) Quarter Sheets in Echo Park is one pizzeria that is doing this style justice, with its focaccia-like crust and soft, pillowy interior that soaks up all that sweet red sauce. The dining space has tables in case you need alone time with your corner slice (or slice of cake)." - sylvio martins, nikko duren

"Quarter Sheets makes the best pizza in Los Angeles and for that reason, this tiny Echo Park pie shop is slammed every night. They don’t take reservations, which means you should aim to get in line about 10 minutes prior to their 5pm opening and try to keep your party under four people, otherwise you’ll be waiting about an hour for a table. That said, even 60 minutes of NYT crosswords on the sidewalk is a fair trade-off for spending the rest of your night eating thick, crunchy pan-style pizza and decadent desserts like slab pie and princess cake. " - nikko duren, sylvio martins, brant cox

"Pastry chef Hannah Ziskin is making some of LA’s choicest cakes at Quarter Sheets in Echo Park. Cake flavors and compositions change from day to day, so check Instagram for the latest offerings and reserve a slice online because these coveted sweets can sell out fast. — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor" - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
