As part of Eater's first ever pizza week, chefs at five LA restaurants that don't serve pizza agreed to make a special limited edition pizza-inspired creation served just this week and next. Every day we'll highlight a new pizza, today we have An Ode To The Mexican Pizza from Black Hogg.
Chef Eric Park of newbie Black Hogg in Silver Lake says that his Ode To The Mexican Pizza was inspired by a guilty pleasure he enjoyed growing up - Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza. "Classic Southland grub from way back," he states.
Here he has created a refined version of the pizza, a deep-dish version made with a masa harina (corn tortilla flour) crust. His pizza is layered with longaniza sausage, black beans, queso fresco, heirloom tomato pico de gallo, skirt steak asada, and topped with a sweet corn salsa. The hearty pie costs $15.
