“bomb bomb bomb! wont be disappointed“

“Hands down, one of my favorite restaurants in LA. My husband and I visit here 2-4 times a month. All the locations are beautiful and unique, but our favorite is Sherman Oaks. It's our home local restaurant, and the entire staff knows us and takes great care of us. It was just our 17th anniversary, and the staff made us feel so special. But then again, they always make us feel special, so we just love everything about this place. Our go-to must-haves are the chicken sliders, fries, and the little gem. And to end the meal, we order vanilla lattes, the best cake and ice cream. It's simply the best!“

“Another great local institution in Burbank! The line gets a bit long, but worth the wait. Huge portions for the price you pay and they are generous with the sides.
The gelato they have is some of the best gelato I’ve had in the city as well!“

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

“🥃🙂👍 Jeff is a great bartender!“

“Love Vitellos, feels like an awesome local secret, while being a classic la restaurant at the same time. Great food, amazing staff and fun night out. They always seem to find a way to connect to the neighborhood in new and interesting ways as well.“

“Excellent food and Judy was an excellent host she put up with us Australians 🍺🍺😀😀😎“

“Los meseros son muy amables me gusto mucho el ambiente“

“We went to the coolest little Italian place in the valley for Valentine's on a total whim. The entire place was themed, they had a fun violinist, the wait staff wore Valentine's glasses & vests, they had pink and red lights on the palm trees out front, heart shaped straws... it was so quirky and fun. Service was awesome, like the staff was actually having a good time and glad we were there. The food was AWESOME quality... everything homemade down to the freshly baked heart shaped bread. I don't recall if we've ever really 'celebrated' Valentine's day but going to this restaurant made it feel like an actual holiday. So fun and cute. Also, the prices & portions! Highly recommend to check this place out. Guessing they probably do other holidays as well. Grateful for an unexpected awesome night 🥰🤗“

“Today was my first time coming to this restaurant. I just moved across the street about a month ago. And I had the mozzarella free teeth, and it was very good. It was a nice restaurant, very clean inside very nice looking and the waiter was very friendly and the bartender it was, well, they were all friendly, including the kitchen staff. I recommend everybody to come to this restaurant. Along with family and friends, very nice and very decent“

This was the dining highlight of our US trip from Scotland and the best genuine hospitality we've experienced. Well done to all involved, wish you weren't 5000 miles away from where we live. Can't wait to come back.“

“Delicious 😋Alfredo fetuchine“

“.  We usually have a very good experience however there was something off this last time. It was towards the end of the evening and they were only a few people left at the restaurant, we had to ask the waitress for our bread four times which was unusual. Otherwise, we appreciated the quiet atmosphere, the very nice wine and high  quality, wine glasses and the good food. We were a little bit disappointed because at the end of the evening we noted we smelled cigarette smoke coming from the back of the restaurant we felt was quite unprofessional. This is the only time we have been at the restaurant. The owner wasn't there and our perception was that there was a step down in discipline among the staff that day“

“The cheese pizza +1 topping meat balls, Spaghetti 🍝 with meat sauce, and garlic bread was delicious 😋 Service was Fantastic. The Atmosphere lighting and comfortable booths was Awesome. You can even order wine by the glass. This is one of my favorite spots in L.A. Hollywood.

“great atmosphere..great service fine dining with fresh view spent 101$ feed five people with drinks 3 appetizers very fine experience..“

“Came just before close on a Monday night to pick up a pepperoni. The shop is often bustling during lunch and dinner and the last few orders where getting boxed up as I came in. Grabbed the sodas we ordered and the pizza and headed out.

The pizza is delicious. A crunchy chewy crust throughout that makes you want to dip those crusts and a not too sweet sauce. While greasy, the pepperoni and cheese taste great and the ratio of toppings is perfect. Even the flat parts of curust offer a little crunch as you bite. I'm not an expert by any means but my wife who technically came from Brooklyn as a wee lass gives it a stamp of approval. If I recall correctly we had a couple slices ages ago here and the white pie should not be missed.“

“Had the calamari, beef ravioli and bread pudding, it was very good.“

“I've been, "one of the longest" fan's or person tasting the "Miceli's Italian ⁷Restaurants Food for the past 60 yrs now because I got hooked on it when I was 3yrs old. So 63 yrs old and I'm 63 yrs old. It happens to be the best I've ever had and I've been around the world and I have sampled Italian food everywhere a round the United States and in Europe but something about Miceli's food I grew up eating there "Food" is because all those recipes came from my family. See I am the great nephew of " The late founder of Miceli's, "Mr. Carmen Miceli" my "Great Uncle" and my "Great Aunt " Millie and of course My Grandmother "Angie" are siblings along with there two brothers my Great Uncle's Tony(Anthony) and Sam, with there parents and let's not forget my Great Uncle "Rocky" came to a Southern California in the late1940's after the (World War Two) and (Korean Wars) and were coming to California to open a restaurant. You guessed it Miceli's in 1949 and "My MOM" was only 9 yrs old they indeed open the Restaurant in Hollywood,California. then some years later"I" became "a" Hot Idem in which I was born so make a long story short we used to eat all and I mean, all the time there and have family functions there and I and my sisters and other cousins would go and ŵork [helped] out and learned how to cook and learned now to prep the food at the famous " Kitchen"across from the world famous Hanna Barbera cartoon studio's and just across the Hollywood frwy and just down the hill from the "City walk" by the Sherton Hotel at the Universal Studio's but it was the "Commissary" for the 4 other restaurant's in the Hollywood, and surrounding areas. So us kids learned how to cook from the best. So Memory Lane tells a tall story. Not only because it's my Family Owned Restaurant, but many critics have Eaton there and posted "Great reviews" but over the years, there has been tens of thousands of customers who have Eaton there and they to have there own versions and great story's about there fine visited to one or so restaurants in the Los Angeles area year after year and again while visiting the L.A. area on yearly business. Thank you Miceli's for serving me Cousin Perry and all the other customers who have stopped by to eat and enjoy the show of Professional Opeŕa singers waiting to go to a show somewhere around the world on tour to perform on "Broadway" or a "Opera house" then they come home to Miceli's to wait for there next gig or show, but for the last70 plus year we the people or customers or even us "The Family" Thank you from the bottom of our heart's thanks for the Memorie's and Great times. Sincerely, your cousin Big Perry and "Die hardcustomers“

“It looks perfected, they are very generous with the amount of cheese and toppings. I look forward to seeing you again :)“

“I've been going here for 15 years. I also order out. I wanted to put a 4 stars.
Ok here's the deal. I get PERFECT meatballs each and every time.
ALMOST.
Sometimes the meatballs taste OFF. Once in 20 times.
I just tastes like they ground other parts into the meat stock which shouldn't be there. Like entrails or something.
And there no warning us patrons.
As if I couldn't tell.

Since I get 19 out of 20 perfect ground meatballs, its hard to complain. But I wanted to get that out there. I mean, WHO LIKES SURPRISES? You know?“

“There were 4 of us dining in for a late lunch/ early dinner. It's a very comfortable place with a great menu and awesome desserts. The owner works there and the staff is awesome and friendly. If you want to adjust your selection a bit they are happy to help in any way possible! The portions are good size to share. We love going there and the staff makes it cozy and welcoming. Thank you Antonio's for taking such good care of us and making our visit a wonderful experience. We look forward to our next visit soon!“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant earlier this summer & have already visited at least 5 times! Food is delicious & fresh, it’s a nice quiet place to enjoy a meal. I love out date nights here when craving pasta, the octupus as the appetizer is my favorite! Waitress is lovely & attentive, we will definitely continue to return.“

“First time customer. We ordered the Armenian pizza, 2 churros and q 2L coke. Pizza was so scrumptious I'm going back for more!!! The owner is a sweetheart. Very positive vibes and extremely welcoming. Super clean place. Highly recommend 🤗“

“Quality ingredients and exceptional service with consistency make this a great experience for every visit. There is something for everyone on the menu. The place is approachable, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious and fairly priced.“

“I love tomato pie they make pizza how it should be it perfect for take out. The pizza is good crunch and structure not floppy while having good soft crust. The margarita pizza is very good which means there ingredients are good quality because that one is the simplest. I just wish they hade prosciutto as a meat option“

“This has ALWAYS been thee place to get a Delicious Pizza, scrumptious Bread, and yummy Lasagna! After 60 years, it is still Simply the Best! Outstanding service provided by Ricci which made our dining experience wonderful! Everyone cares about the customer all the way to the top! Joan listens to the customers to make sure that the food is the BEST and it IS! You MUST go to Chi-Chi's when you're in Northridge!“

“Amazing organic restaurant with pizzas, avocado toast, housemade pastas and fresh baked bread, ciabatta and baguettes. The back patio is a hidden gem, will visit over and over again for sure!“

“Nice clean store and food was delicious. The girl at the front was so friendly and answered me questions about the menu. I ended up getting the lasagna garlic bread salad combo and it was so good and for less than $15! I ate the garlic bread first cuz it was so good that's why it's not in the picture LOL.“

“we were lucky to have our baby shower at casa de pizza and joel and eddie are amazing owners. i was getting overwhelmed looking for venues and catering our baby shower, and we were so grateful that casa de pizza were open to having us. from day one, eddie and joel were responsive and put together a really nice menu with a drink package that was EXTREMELY REASONABLE for pricing. the baby shower itself was fantastic - pizza was solid, the pitchers were flowing, and the antipasto salad, wings, and lasagna were delicious. joel was on the floor making sure everyone was taken care of, and i cannot tell you how nice it was to walk in, celebrate, and walk out without having to worry about a thing. they even offered to let come a little earlier to decorate which was a nice gesture.

i also wanted to mention that we live in the neighborhood and have been going to casa de pizza since before new ownership. i've felt that the pizza and pasta are still very good, so i am surprised to read that people aren't satisfied. they've made some very positive changes by opening orders up for online and pick up. if you OG customers remember, we'd all have to fight each other calling the phone line just to get an order in, and it'd take us a solid 20 minutes of hearing the busy tone before getting someone to take our order, wait an hour, then pick it up. change is scary because it's new, but i feel like eddie and joel honor the tradition and respect of what casa de pizza was meant to be - your neighborhood pizza parlor.

we look forward to celebrating future birthdays and events here - they made it so easy and effortless so that we could enjoy our day.“

“My sister lives here, I'm visiting here from Kentucky. Always a dinner to order one night while I'm visiting. So delicious! Highly recommended and they deliver!“

“Excellent food and lovely atmosphere“

“Delicious food, I enjoyed myself there and the spaghetti was great just like expected 🧡“

“Awesome dinner and dessert 🍨“

“It's a long ride to NYC, so we settle for Fernanda's for your New York pizza fix.“

“There is something wonderfully reassuring about an Italian restaurant that does not need to reinvent itself to remain relevant. In an age when dining rooms increasingly chase trends, this historic Woodland Hills establishment is a reminder that authenticity, tradition, and a sense of place can be far more compelling than culinary theatrics.

From the moment we arrived for our reservation, we were warmly received by the manager, whose hospitality immediately established the tone for the evening. The restaurant possesses that rare quality of feeling genuinely lived-in and established—an atmosphere shaped by years of serving its community rather than one manufactured for effect. It feels like a place with a story.

We began with a couple of Peronis, a fitting aperitivo before dinner, and eventually followed our server's recommendations for two dishes: the Chicken Parmigiano and the fettuccine al porcini.

The Chicken Parmigiano was the undisputed triumph of the evening. It was wonderfully comforting yet indulgent, delivering precisely the kind of soulful satisfaction one hopes for from a classic Italian-American preparation. The dish had the richness and familiarity of something deeply rooted in tradition, and it was easily the plate that left the strongest impression on us. In fact, it is reason enough for me to return.

The fettuccine al porcini was somewhat less successful. The pasta and mushroom component showed promise, but the chicken pieces incorporated into the dish were disappointing in both texture and overall appeal. We brought the matter to our server's attention during the meal, although, unfortunately, all that was offered was for it to be cooked again. From a hospitality perspective, this was a missed opportunity. When a guest offers constructive feedback while still at the table, the most memorable restaurants treat it as an invitation to make the experience better.

That said, perspective is important. One imperfect component does not define an entire restaurant, particularly when so much else succeeds. We came because of a friend's recommendation, and we leave with that recommendation still intact.

What ultimately distinguishes this restaurant is not perfection for perfection's sake, but character. There is an authenticity here that is increasingly difficult to find. The restaurant feels connected to the neighborhood, to Italian culinary tradition, and to the simple pleasure of gathering around a table for a proper meal.

For Woodland Hills and the greater San Fernando Valley, establishments with genuine history and identity are invaluable. This restaurant is, without question, a true asset to the neighborhood.

We will absolutely return and give the kitchen another opportunity to impress us. And when we do, I suspect the Chicken Parmigiano will be making another appearance at our table.

Thank you to the management and staff for the warm welcome and the evening.

Until next time—buon appetito.“
