Blackbird Pizza specializes in deep dish pizza, along with thin crust pies and meatballs all made fresh in-house. Owner/Chef Luis Ulloa wanted to introduce a pizza shop that’s reminiscent of what you’d find in New York and San Francisco, to elevate the pizza experience in Los Angeles. Chef Luis Ulloa is a highly experienced executive chef, a Le Cordon Blue Paris graduate and has worked with names like Jean-Georges and Michael Mina.

Chef Luis Ulloa also designed the Blackbird Pizza Shop. With its casual, bright and colorful surroundings, bare-wood tables, a sit-down window counter for people-watching, and fun graphics on the wall, it fits in well with the trendy, edgy Melrose vibe. This fun spot makes a good place to settle in and relax with friends and sharing pizza and beers or a bottle of wine.
And if you love what you’re eating, they have a “Meatball” shop where you can purchase beef, pork, turkey, and veggie meatballs. For only $5 more you can add pasta to your meatballs for a delicious traditional add-on while dining in.
Vegetarian options are numerous and an extensive Natural Wine & Craft Beer list help make this a killer option for a proper night out. Local beer on tap is prevalent at this California-centric pizza shop.
Their wine selection is abundant with rare finds such as orange wine and delicious reds and whites that often change to switch it up while keeping a few select favorites. This pizza shop is meant to be a casual hang-out destination for the neighborhood, where pies and sides mix with beer and wine for a fun night out.
They also offer delicious fresh “snacks”, including:
- Local Burrata, Local Vine Ripe Tomato, Tuscan Olive Salad, Basil
- Arugula, Cannellini Bean, Preserved Lemon, Extra Virgin
- Little Gem, Fuyu Persimmon, Pickled Red Onion, Feta, Saba
- Big Bowl of Organic Greens, Breakfast Radish, Fennel, Cucumber, Cherry Tomato, Parmesan
