Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, proudly announces the acquisition of VOD rights to the documentary feature THE BEST PIZZA IS IN LA — which will be available to rent/own on North American digital HD internet, DVD, cable, and satellite platforms starting on July 28, 2026.
THE BEST PIZZA IS IN LA explores filmmaker Pete Ferriero’s journey to prove that the world’s best pizza isn’t found in New York, Chicago, or Italy, but right in Los Angeles. Alongside interviews of celebrity chefs and special guests, Ferriero dives into the history and explosion of red-sauce, cheese-filled, and uniquely topped pizza joints across Los Angeles.
Directed by Peter Ferriero (HER NAME IS CHEF), THE BEST PIZZA IS IN LA was Executive Produced by Sarah Sobek. Kathleen Robertson and Peter Ferriero serve as Producers, with Raymond Esposito, Patric Arnold, and Tim Jones as Associate Producers. Subjects interviewed include: Pete Ferriero, Joe D’Amore, Tori Spelling, Ray Romano, Brooke Williamson, Allen Salkin, Daniel Holzman, Joe Sasto, Lindsay Price, Fred Eric, Kathleen Robertson, Stephanie Izard, Sean Lango, Karen Palmer, Elizabeth Falkner, Juan Robles, Tim Rosenman, Larry Hankin, Mei Lin, Miles Shorey, Brian Austin Green, Joe Gannascoli, Sean St. John, Lauren Smith, William Joo, Herbert Yuen and Nancy Silverton.
“We’re oddly uncomfortable admitting that something new can surpass something old. We romanticize history. But pizza does not. It cares about who’s making it today,” said filmmaker Peter Ferriero. “Los Angeles has become a place where every style, every tradition, and every point of view is pushing the craft forward. As a kid originally from New Jersey, I know this might come as a shock, but I believe Los Angeles is in its pizza era.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated a deal to acquire THE BEST PIZZA IS IN LA directly with the filmmakers and Glen Reynolds of Circus Road Films.
