What people say, in short
A large majority of those who mention Prime Pizza recommend it, usually for New York-style slices; the square slice and the grandma pie come up as favourites. Prime has several outlets, Fairfax among those named, and most comments don't say which one; the location shown on the map is the Little Tokyo location. Others call it acceptable rather than a top pick, and one found the crust very hard on a single visit.
