Danny Boy's Famous Original Pizza is a slice joint with a pedigree — which is exactly as fun as it sounds.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Danny Boy's Famous Original Pizza is a slice joint with a pedigree — which is exactly as fun as it sounds. CIA-trained chef Daniel Holzman, who first made his name with The Meatball Shop on New York's Lower East Side, has essentially built the pizza counter of his own nostalgia on the ground floor of a downtown skyscraper at 330 S Hope St. The crowd is office workers on lunch breaks, the vibe is counter-service New York transplant, and the whole operation is a quiet argument that the Financial District deserves something better than sad desk salads. At price level one, it's not making a case for fine dining — it's making a case that good pizza is infrastructure. The menu centers on a tight roster of pies that take the New York slice format seriously. The Sicilian Pepperoni is a signature for good reason — thick, focaccia-style dough against cured meat is the kind of combination that has its own gravitational pull. The Meatball Slice leans hard into Holzman's original obsession, pairing housemade meatballs with creamy ricotta on a crust diners consistently describe as thin, crisp, and foldable — the trifecta for anyone who grew up eating by the slice. The White Pie with 'Shrooms rounds out the lineup for anyone who wants to sidestep red sauce entirely. Scott's Knots show up on the appetizer side, which tracks for a kitchen that clearly has opinions about dough. Eater LA, The Infatuation, and NBC have all put the place on the map, which in Los Angeles is about as close to a consensus endorsement as you get. The move here is straightforward: come at lunch, order the Meatball Slice alongside the Sicilian Pepperoni, and don't overthink it. This is a counter-service spot inside a busy tower, so there's no reservation to wrangle — just timing. Beat the midday financial-district rush if you want to eat without jockeying for a spot. The Meatball Slice is the dish diners mention first and most often, so if you're only getting one, start there.
