  • Elio's Pizza is sold out of a mobile pizza oven in a pickup truck. Eleodoro Lopez found a liquor store that would let him park in its lot and started selling pizza out of it a few months ago. Now he's gaining recognition for selling delicious Neapolitan-style pies for $10 each in Silver Lake.

    This dude went to Italy to learn the traditional way to make pizza. He has a day job and then sets up his pop-up joint afterwards. This dude is a real hustler, learned a skill and is perfecting his craft while making legit money off something he loves. Mad respect, Elio.

    As a neapolitan...BIG RESPECT to Elio! His pizza seems really genuine, something I would find in every pizza parlour nearby, but making it in LA it's like a little miracle. I hope he's doing fine, he's got skills and passion for a plate which, in our tradition, it's something sacred, and obsession! Where I live a "flat pizza" (or as we call it a "Margherita") would cost like 3.5 dollars, but for being in LA I bet it's also cheap, so keep it up Elio!

    Thank you Elio for finally putting L.A on the map for good pizza. We are not known for that but now there's hope.

      home yes, but when you have people open businesses for free and everyone else has to pay enormous taxes and permits to the local government. tell the local kids who voted for that dumbass government to stay home and stfu. I have no problem with people being entrepreneurial but when they cheat the system they deserve a fire extinguisher.
