Unlike conventional pizzerias, Pizzaoki uses a delivery-only model, utilizing Los Angeles’s Cloud Kitchens, a platform which provides cooking space for multiple LA restaurants. Customers can get their pies via third-party apps such as Postmates and UberEats.

Pizzaoki currently serves eight types of pizzas that are served on Aoki’s “lit herb infused dough with Mama Aoki’s homemade pizza sauce.” Each pizza is creatively named with references to Aoki and his music career, such as the pepperoni version called “Steveroni” and the supreme version called “mayhem.”
