Danny Boy’s Famous Original has quietly slipped into Woodland Hills this week, taking over a stall inside Valley Country Market on Ventura Boulevard. The New York-style pizzeria is now serving its trademark foldable slices and Sicilian squares in the Valley, along with garlic knots, buffalo wings and a compact beer-and-wine list. Locals spotted a soft opening last week as the crew eased into weekday service.
The Woodland Hills counter sits at 20929 Ventura Blvd and covers about 1,950 square feet, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. The chain’s site now lists the Woodland Hills address and notes that Danny Boy’s also operates in Downtown Los Angeles and Westwood, per the Danny Boy’s website. Core menu items, including slices, whole pies, Sicilian squares, garlic knots and wings, appeared in earlier coverage of the brand and show up on the current menu, according to Eater LA.
Speaking with the Los Angeles Daily News, chef-owner Daniel Holzman said the team had “worked incredibly hard to perfect our pies” and that “the quality of the pizza speaks for itself.” Holzman described the Woodland Hills launch as a measured next step rather than a rushed expansion.
From DTLA to the Valley
Danny Boy’s started in 2021 as a counter tucked into a Downtown Los Angeles office atrium, then graduated to a full storefront in Westwood, where it built a steady lunchtime crowd and broader buzz. The Downtown and Westwood shops have been recognized in local roundups for reliable, foldable New York-style slices and especially strong garlic knots, Time Out notes.
Long ferment, big bubbles
The dough is treated like a lead character. Coverage points to a cold-fermented, multi-day proof that builds flavor and structure. LAist reports that the proofing can run four to five days and that the extended cold ferment yields a crisp exterior with an airy, chewy interior.
Where it sits in the market
The new outpost sits inside Valley Country Market, the retail complex at 20929 Ventura Blvd whose leasing materials list tenants such as Blue Bottle Coffee, Sweetgreen and Van Leeuwen alongside Danny Boy’s. Property flyers and leasing pages describe the center as a curated food-and-fitness hub with ample surface parking that should make quick lunches and pick-up orders easy for Valley workers, according to Jay Luchs / Newmark.
The market’s calendar showed a promotional push for Danny Boy’s in late June, and nearby diners flagged a soft opening on Reddit, where they praised friendly staff and solid slices. Local listings now reflect the Woodland Hills address and indicate that the storefront is active inside the Valley Country Market complex.
For the moment, the Woodland Hills stall is keeping abbreviated weekday hours while the team settles in; the chain’s locations page lists Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with expanded hours promised soon. With the market’s parking and Danny Boy’s to-go-focused setup, the shop appears aimed squarely at lunchtime runs and fast takeout for nearby offices and shoppers.
