La Capa Pizzeria offers a wide selection of pizzas, including New York style and authentic Neopolitan pizza. It uses fresh, quality ingredients and offers a gluten-free option. It also features a variety of pasta dishes, appetizers, wine and beer. The restaurant is family owned and operated and has been in business for over a decade.

Pizza first arrived in America via New York. The first record was in an 1894 city directory, though historian Peter Regas says modern slice culture didn’t emerge until after World War II, when gas-powered ovens became available. Click here

Now, from Detroit to California, a number of artisanal pizza places are bringing regional styles to the mainstream. Louis Tourtois, a pizza chef who led Buddy’s when it won the Detroit News contest in 1970 and worked at Buddy’s and Shield’s before opening his own shingle, has a loyal following for his extra-cheesy slices and antipasto salad. He was inspired by Tokyo’s Neo-Neapolitan movement, which means slightly less sauce and a little more salt on the crust for a life-changing bite.

This former pizza van turned bricks-and-mortar spot in Long Beach, Calif., is emblematic of the California pizza movement. Elliott says owner Ed LaDou mastered puffy-crusted, wood-fired pizzas, and when he got his hands on Santa Barbara shrimp, that went on the pie. When celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck opened Spago in the 1980s, he brought in LaDou to run his pizza program.
