Pizza Girl Brings a Taste of Italy to the Sunset Strip with Grand Opening of the newest location at Hotel Ziggy

Los Angeles is no stranger to iconic food destinations, and on March 22, the city welcomed a delicious new addition to the Sunset Strip. Pizza Girl, the brainchild of entrepreneur and culinary innovator Caroline D’Amore, made its grand debut at Hotel Ziggy, bringing an evening of indulgence, entertainment, and philanthropy to the heart of West Hollywood.

A Celebration with Heart

The grand opening event, Slice for a Cause, was more than just a night of great food—it was a gathering of LA’s best and brightest, uniting for an important mission. Guests were treated to an endless flow of gourmet pizza, lively music, and unforgettable performances while supporting Home Bank LA, an organization dedicated to helping families affected by LA’s devastating wildfires. Every ticket purchased directly contributed to rebuilding lives, proving that a good slice can do more than satisfy cravings—it can spark meaningful change. From celebrity appearances to spontaneous dance floors, the energy at Hotel Ziggy was pure LA magic. The Sunset Strip, known for its vibrant nightlife and legendary rock-and-roll history, provided the perfect backdrop for an evening that embodied what makes LA Living so unique—style, community, and a commitment to making a difference.

The Woman Behind the Pizza

If Pizza Girl sounds familiar, it’s because Caroline D’Amore has been making waves in the culinary world for years. As a legendary D’Amore Pizza family member, she grew up immersed in authentic Italian flavors. But rather than just continuing the family legacy, she redefined it. With a focus on organic, high-quality ingredients, Caroline launched a line of gourmet sauces free from artificial additives and excess sugar. Her Marinara, Spicy Arrabbiata, and Vodka sauces quickly became favorites in top California markets like Erewhon, Whole Foods, and Bristol Farms. She didn’t stop there—her Pizza Girl Countertop Grill brought the joy of authentic homemade pizza to kitchens everywhere. After the success of her first Venice Beach location in 2024, it was only a matter of time before Pizza Girl found its way to the Sunset Strip. And now, with a prime spot at Hotel Ziggy, it’s ready to become a must-visit destination for food lovers across the city.

A True LA Dining Experience

What sets Pizza Girl apart isn’t just the food and experience. Pizza Girl is pizza with a purpose, created with a passion for quality, community, and innovation. The brand embodies what makes LA’s dining scene dynamic—a blend of tradition and modernity, indulgence and wellness, exclusivity and accessibility. With its rock-and-roll roots and rebellious spirit, Hotel Ziggy is the perfect home for Pizza Girl’s latest venture. The venue’s edgy yet inviting atmosphere captures the essence of LA—where creativity, culture, and cuisine collide to create something truly unforgettable.

Women’s History Month & A Legacy of Leadership

Opening Pizza Girl’s second location during Women’s History Month couldn’t be more fitting. Caroline D’Amore isn’t just a chef—she’s an entrepreneur redefining what it means to be a leader in the food industry. She’s proving that passion and perseverance can carve new paths in a space historically dominated by men.

Her success is a testament to the power of female-founded businesses in Los Angeles, a city that thrives on innovation and trailblazers. She’s not just making pizza; she’s building a brand that inspires the next generation of women to break boundaries and pursue their dreams—whether in the kitchen, the boardroom, or beyond.

What’s Next?

With the grand opening at Hotel Ziggy marking a new chapter for Pizza Girl, the question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next? If the energy of this event was any indication, Pizza Girl is on a meteoric rise. Whether you’re stopping by for a classic slice, stocking up on signature sauces, or just soaking in the vibrant scene, one thing is sure—this is only the beginning.
