At Hail Mary Pizza, we’re not just making pizza—we’re crafting edible art. And like any masterpiece, the magic is in the details, starting with our ingredients. Whether it’s our top 21 LA pizza ranking (as ranked by LA Times in Sept 2023) or the rave reviews that flood our social media, one thing remains clear: quality ingredients matter. That's why we go the extra mile to ensure that every bite of our pizza is packed with flavor and care, beginning with the finest organic, farm-to-table ingredients.
Let’s start with the foundation of any great pizza: the crust. Our signature sourdough crust isn’t just any dough—it’s a 24-hour fermented masterpiece that owes its magic to organic flour from Central Milling in Utah. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill flour (pun intended); Central Milling’s organic flour is stone-ground and packed with the wholesome goodness that makes each bite of our crust an experience in itself. Non-organic flours often lose essential nutrients during processing, but with organic flour, you get all the richness of flavor and nutrition, without the chemicals. The result? A tangy, chewy, and crispy base that truly elevates our pizzas.
The next organic advantage we have, our tomato sauce. We pride ourselves on using Bianco-DiNapoli organic canned tomatoes, the gold standard when it comes to pizza sauce. Grown organically in California’s Central Valley, these tomatoes are handpicked at peak ripeness to ensure they’re bursting with flavor. They’re naturally sweet, perfectly tangy, and free from preservatives or artificial ingredients. When you take a bite of one of our pizzas, that vibrant sauce is a key reason why the flavors hit just right.
But what about the fresh toppings organic advantage? That’s where Sunrise Organic Farms out of Buellton, CA, comes in. They provide us with a wide variety of organic lettuces, like Green and Red Little Gems, Red Butter, Red and Green Salanovas, Romaine, and Frisée, which form the backbone of our incredible salads. Their heirloom tomatoes, carrots, and cherry tomatoes also make regular appearances on our pizzas, while featured in our salads, bringing bold, fresh flavors straight from the farm to your plate. We believe that when you start with organic, locally sourced ingredients, the difference is something you can taste in every bite.
Why go organic, though? The answer is simple: it’s better for you and for the planet. Organic farming practices avoid synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, ensuring the food you eat is free from harmful chemicals. Plus, organic ingredients often boast superior flavor, thanks to nutrient-rich soil and natural farming methods. By choosing organic, we not only create a better-tasting pizza but also support sustainable agriculture and help reduce the environmental footprint of our business.
At Hail Mary Pizza, our commitment to using organic, farm-to-table ingredients is what keeps us at the top of the LA pizza scene. Every pizza we make is a testament to our belief that high-quality, thoughtfully sourced ingredients make all the difference. It’s the reason we’ve earned our spot as one of LA’s top 21 pizzerias.
Now, let’s talk dessert. After you’ve polished off your pizza, you have to try our new Homemade Ice Cream Sandwich. Imagine two of our fresh-baked chocolate chunk cookies sandwiching a generous scoop of our homemade cookies & cream and marshmallow ice cream. It’s a treat that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and cap off your meal in the best way possible. Check out the latest photo of this indulgent creation on our Instagram feed @Hailmarypizza and make sure to grab one on your next visit!
At Hail Mary Pizza, we believe that great pizza starts with great ingredients. And when those ingredients are organic, fresh, and locally sourced, the result is pizza perfection you can taste. Come see (and taste!) for yourself!
