Clean, airy, delicious. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Some of the best pizza dough I've ever had in LA. Baked in wood burning pizza oven, these pizzas feel like a cross between New York and Naples type pizza. Great place for large groups and children. Our family's new go-to pizza joint. Plus they also sell fresh dough if you want to bake your own pizza at home!

Great quality pizza in my opinion. Love their dough. A bit pricey but I enjoy every slice

Too little sauce!!! Where is the sauce???? Your killing me!!! Way too much cheese. They basically want you to be very thirsty... $$ they sell beverages. I'm so disappointed. I thought I remembered this place to have good pizza.. it's so hard to find. The crust is good. Service was fast... not busy.. on Saturday night... how come!?!

I just like the pizza a lot and their workers are nice and friendly and say hello to you when you walk to the door

Love the pizza but service was rough. Not accommodating and seemed rather bothered on the phone. When I asked if I could get more of the spicy honey, the man and woman behind the counter told me I could go back and ask the cooks. I was confused and asked them what that meant and they repeated that I could go and ask the cooks for more. I thought it was strange that one of them couldn't go ask especially considering I was the only one in the front and they were not alone working behind the register. Just not hospitable for people that get tipped and work in the service industry.

Delisizio! MARGHERITA CLASSICA VPN was so good! Thin style with thick doughy crust! Got Pistachio ice cream to eat while we waited but pizza came minutes after we ordered! Family atmosphere. Has parking, Definitely recommend!

This is probably one of my new favorite pizza spots in LA. Love how casual and spacious it is here, and how it has a big, free parking lot (a big win for LA). You order at the counter and there are tons of pizza options to choose from -- truly something for everyone. My cousin and I came on a weekday for dinner and there was a small line, but it took maybe like 5-10 minutes. We ordered and then sat down. The seating area and vibes are awesome. It's like a casual cafeteria and they have a row of pizza ovens in the back, where they are cranking out pizzas like mad men LOL. We sat down, got ourselves water, and almost instantly got our pizzas to our tables. We got the Lasagna Pizza and the Margherita. The Lasagna Pizza was so creative and delicious, and the cheese really leveled it up. The dough on the pizzas is perfection. Thin, and chewy but crispy. We really enjoyed both of the pizzas and I will definitely be back here in the future.

If you're into Napoletana Pizza, you're not gonna do much better than DeSano. It's every bit as good as any Place you'll find in LA for this style of pizza. I prefer a NY slice, but this is refreshing and reminds me of trips taken to Italy. Its solid.

We've been going there for years since a good friend of mine who's Italian said it was the best thin sliced authentic Italian pizza in town. It was years ago but not so much now. I tried calling for an order to go and their phone was busied out for over 20 minutes.Finally got in the car and drove over getting a margarita and a desano pizza. The two grande size were over $60 together. Got home and the margherita pizza had little cheese, mostly sauce and very little flavor. I will say that the parking lot was nice and secure and very roomy. All the extra garlic and condiments have been moved to the far end of the serving area, completely out of sight. I guess people are using too much... Oh well. Time for a change.
One of the best pizzas in LA. If you have a gluten intolerance, but can eat flour and wheat products from Italy like me, this is the place for you. Wheat from Italy is different than wheat produced in the US, easier to digest. Ask for the pizza to be baked extra crispy so the center is not wet. Prepare to enjoy a very good pie!

What a find - looked like an industrial kitchen - we weren't sure if they had a dine in section - and yes they did. One of the best pizzas and lots of parking - highly recommend

Really a hidden gem in East Hollywood. Order in the small entrance room, then stroll to the large, open table seating in back. Distinctive neapolitan style pizzas, great ingredients, and salads, reasonable prices, a real oasis.

This is the go-to place for my work colleagues! The pizzas are exceptional! There's something for everyone. Vegetarian, delicious creamy shrimp, pepperoni, etc. the wine is a great touch. Service is ok. You order at the counter. Servers bring your orders out to you. You get your in water, napkins, etc.

A Slice of Heaven From the first bite, DeSanos delivers a taste sensation that keeps you coming back for more. Neopolitan style dough in LA. The margherita is delicious! It tastes just like it does in Italy, and the flavour is absolutely wonderful. The crust was incredibly light and airy. The staff are nice and quick. Our favourite Pizza place in LA. They have plenty of parking available.
