Meet the Chef/Founder

Daniele Uditi is a Naples-born chef and master pizzaiolo based in Los Angeles, best known for his work at Pizzana. Raised in a deeply culinary family in Southern Italy, he began working with dough at a young age before refining his craft in Michelin-starred kitchens. After moving to Los Angeles in 2010, Daniele developed his signature slow-fermented dough and a style of cooking rooted in tradition while inspired by California’s seasonal produce. His work blends the warmth of Italian home cooking with precision and restraint, earning widespread acclaim since Pizzana’s opening in 2017.

Currently, Mason is teaming up with Nancy Silverton and Phil Rosenthal to bring a classic diner to Hancock Park. Max and Helen’s has quickly become one of the hottest reservations in Los Angeles.
