I will 100 percent celebrate when this place shuts down.
When I call in a pick up order that includes ice cream you’d think they would know to leave the ice cream in the freezer until pick up. But EVEN WHEN I SPECIFICALLY ask them to follow this common sense rule, they don’t and then lie straight to my face. And then give me whipped cream in place of dressing for my salad. Could not bothered to do a single thing to rectify the situation.
Truly a clown show. My own fault for trying to support a struggling resto. Turns out there’s a reason it’s struggling— it sucks. Good riddance.

The pizza was soggy, deserts where honestly pretty bad. Staff was great just not the best food or at least the pizza me and my girlfriend had.

Absolutely love this place, I've been coming here for years! We have also had a birthday party here twice, with a group of over 12 people each time. Everyone is super friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious!

We had the cesar salad, probably the best in town (you have to like anchovies) and the main dish of spicy clams was beyond delicious. Our server was delightful and helped us make the best choices.

I wouldn’t call Ronan an Italian restaurant — I’d call it a pizza restaurant, full stop. No pasta here, just Neapolitan-style pies and variety of appetizers.
Serious about their Neapolitan style, the pizzas arrive un-sliced, with a knife you may accidentally drop on the floor. They’ll pre-slice if you ask (which is much easier for sharing), which genuinely made me wonder — do they pre-slice pizzas for large tables in Naples, or does everyone just get their own uncut pie?
The pizza is very good - dough was perfect, I like it less charred always.
The classic Marinara (red) and the Zucca (white) were my favorites — simple, balanced, great flavors.
The mushroom arancini were delicious, but a fair warning: you only get three. It’s a small app.
One personal breakthrough: blue cheese will never touch my pizza again. Ronan helped me close that door with confidence. I don’t like it. Haha
The word for blue cheese is Italian is Gorgonzola, don’t forget it.
Pro tip: skip the focaccia if you’re ordering a few pies — save the room for what they do best.
Great Neapolitan-style pizza on Melrose.

Patrons love the pizza, but the chicken is heavenly. Wait 'til you taste the homemade ice cream! If you want to dine at a restaurant where you feel like you've come to your best friend's house for dinner, Ronan is the place for you.

First time to Ronan's and it won't be our last. From the Hostess, to the table help, our waiter and then the FOOD...all were superb. It really could not have been a better experience. Enjoyed the ambiance and the music, the attentiveness without the feeling of being rushed, and our meal! We shared the charred broccolini - a must, the happy hour meatballs - we are certain they were the best we had and and we have had a lot, and then the Margaherita Pizza that we made into the Crazy B**ch. You won't be disappointed when you go.

Ronan is currently my absolute favorite restaurant in LA. The food is incredible, the vibe is great and the staff are so wonderful. It’s always our first place we take out of town friends and they’re always blown away.
Pro tip: look up the Ronan supper club! It’s a take-home four course meal. It’s such good value and the food is always sooooooo good.
Atmosphere is nice. Food is pretty average. They should send the chef to Italy for a few weeks to learn how to make pizza. It was like eating sourdough bread with whatever toppings they came up with. Just didn’t work.

We stopped by Ronan recently while visiting LA and were very happy with our experience! I’m vegan, so dining at non plant-based restaurants can be a bit of a gamble, but they were accommodating which is always appreciated. I ordered the Brooklyn Pizza with garlic and olives added and it was delicious! They don’t have an in-house vegan cheese, but truly it didn’t need it. We also ordered the market cucumbers and they replaced the traditional dairy-based sauce for a vegan vinaigrette. Overall, a great stop and I’d be happy to try it again.

First time at Ronan, and if I could rate higher than 5 stars, I’d give it a 10. We came here on New Year’s Eve and ordered the focaccia with cultured butter, burrata, and caviar, and it was outstanding. The focaccia was crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly aromatic. Paired with the melted cultured butter and burrata—rich but not heavy—the combination was smooth, light, and surprisingly addictive. The burrata was cool and creamy without being overwhelming, and the caviar added a salty, briny depth that elevated the entire dish. Truly exceptional. Next was the chicken with pistachios. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with firm, well-textured meat. The lightly tangy sauce helped cut through the richness, and the greens on top balanced the dish nicely without feeling like filler. We also tried the Sweet Cheeks pizza. This one is subjective, but since I enjoy sweeter flavors, it was perfect for me. The dough was incredibly fragrant, and the cheese ratio was excellent. You can really tell that high-quality, imported ingredients are used and kept true to their original character. The result is a pizza that feels very Italian and refreshingly different from the average American pizza spot. That said, I personally don’t enjoy overly charred crusts for health reasons, and the level of charring was a downside for me—definitely a notable drawback. The service was exceptional. The staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. The restaurant is truly lucky to have such a great team. Well deserved as a Michelin Selected 2025 restaurant. I’ll absolutely be coming back—especially for the pizza, hopefully with a little less char next time.

Over prized soggy pizza! $140 for a small pizza, 2 drinks and bread with a table spoon of caviar! Really??!! Our server was nice (Mexican short guy with black hair), but the tall white guy with a shirt on slammed the pizza on to our table looking me in the eye, as if I had done him something wrong? Idk if I reminded him of his ex girlfriend or he is mentally unstable? lol Pizza is bad, service is hopeless!
