50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Pacific Palisades

“I took my husband for Father’s Day brunch/lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant here in the Palisades and as always it did not disappoint. It never does. He loved his steak and eggs, steak was Devine and I loved my chick pea soup. Always have the panne cotta and the cherry gelato and an espresso in their delightful patio and you’ve been to Italy!“

“The pizza here is really good, they sell it whole or by the slice. I just got the cheese, it was $6 for a slice and they also had these rip and dip breads that looked good I would like to try next time. They have some tables outside to enjoy some sun. Woman at the register was very friendly.“

“Picked up dinner for the family. Delicious as always. Chicken saute was perfect!!“

“Ordered my usual tonight, cheese pizza well done. So awesome.“

“everything was great! i have 2 girls and they can never eat the same thing. so tonight one got pasta with homemade and large meatballs and the other one and i split a pizza! then we ALL enjoyed the garlic bread and yummy cinnamon knots. i have had similar eats at Dominoes and this blows them away! we will be back soon for the rest of the yummy stuff on the menu. oh, and the price was super reasonable, very good bang for your buck!“

“A beautiful little Italian restaurant serving recipes that reminded me of the typical home cooking I had the Privilege to enjoy whilst in Italy many moons ago . This is Italian cuisine at its finest and very good value for money , I hope I can return again soon 🙂“

“They made my deluxe pizza without any meat toppings just cheese and veggie. I didn’t order a veggie deluxe pizza. Check your pizza before leaving this store.“

“After a fulfilling 3.5-mile hike with a friend, our appetites were ready for action. Initially, we had plans to dine at Matthews Garden Cafe next door, but their willingness to accommodate two people and a stroller left something to be desired. So, we ventured next door and settled by the fountain in the outdoor seating area.Our culinary journey kicked off with the delightful indulgence of warm bread, impeccably paired with a truly delightful olive oil and balsamic vinegar duo. What followed was an unforgettable bruschetta - easily ranking among the best I've ever savored. The tomatoes burst with flavor, harmoniously balanced with just the right amount of garlic. The toasted bread, brushed with olive oil, elevated the experience to sheer perfection. Don't miss this dish.For our main course, we decided to share the pasta special of the day, Rigatoni Romana, and a pizza. The rigatoni arrived cloaked in a delectable pink sauce, escorted by pancetta and red onions. The flavors were spot on, although I did wish for a bit more crispiness in the pancetta. As for the pizza, we opted for bufalo mozzarella and added meatballs, mushrooms, and olives. The mushrooms did introduce a touch of sogginess, as expected, and the meatballs could have benefited from a tad more salt. Overall, the pizza was decent, though we couldn't help but wonder if it might have shone even brighter with fewer toppings.In summary, our dining experience was truly outstanding, with the bruschetta and pasta special stealing the show. It's worth noting that we customized our pasta with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan and a pinch of crushed red pepper, which elevated its flavors even further. While the pizza had its moments, we couldn't help but speculate that a simpler approach might have yielded a more remarkable outcome.

Kid-friendliness: They had high chairs available and overall had a very accommodating attitude.“

“I recently dined at Milo & Olive and was truly impressed with the experience. Every dish I tried was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The seasonal menu offered a great variety, and you can really taste the quality in each bite. On top of that, the service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Incredible pizza!

Absolutely worth the wait but definitely recommend getting a reservation if you can.

We ended up sitting outside which excluded us from getting any alcoholic beverages which was fine because we got drunk on pizza!

We split a Caesar salad, pickled vegetable appetizer, and ordered two pizzas for three people. It was more than enough food and we polished off the meal by splitting a tiramisu. It was define!

The dough really was the star of the show here with a soft chewy texture at the center, but a crispy crust.

I definitely wanna come back and sit at the bar as I’m sure it’s fun to watch them make the pies as you’re enjoying them.“

“With counter and/or bar service, a full menu of appetizers, salads, and entrees are available in addition to pizzas. A limited selection of pizzas are available by the slice, and the thin crust has great flavor, although it's not especially crispy. El Segundo Brewing's lineup of beers are on tap, along with a couple of guest offerings, so if a slice and a pint appeals to you, the name definitely doesn't lie.“

“Truly incredible. I found out about this place from the LA food podcast, and it really delivered. It looks like a hole in the wall, but you walk in and are greeted by music and delicious smells. The staff are very attentive and nice and our pizza was warmed up quickly. It was fun being there, we got to see the pizza getting made and someone shaking bread and pesto in a bucket. The actual pizza was delicious. Even the cheese pizza was so so flavourful and had such a good texture. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Great pizza and knots! Visiting from Arizona. Owners very friendly and great customer service. Wish we had one of these in Arizona. Definitely we would give 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Thanks till the next visit!“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“Best food ever. Best staff ever. My daughter suffered a medical emergency at the WeHo location. The manager and staff were beyond kid and helpful. Not that I recommend having a seizure at a restaurant, but Pizzana handled it beautifully. I do love their food. Authentic, fresh and delicious. Their gluten free pizza is the best in town.♥️“

“High quality food, tastes like the homemade wholesome Ukrainian food back in Ukraine. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. 😀“

“Best Fkin NewYork style Pizza in all of Cali hands down and I’m a New Yorker to the core and tried every place north and south of there! Their House special is NOT TO BE MISSED - must get a slice of that or make that a PIE! The owner and staff are amazing too.i have been going since their one in the Palisades that was destroyed in the fires. Make sure you support them“

“I though the owner was a actually really cool guy, and the inside with outside tables were just as good as the decorations to the building; it was a clean and well managed place. Also, the pizza does have the option to be sold by the slice, and the prices are far better than some sewer sidwalk shop in downtown LA chargning you 9$ by the slice or something. Other than the pizza kinda being cinematically great, yeah, that cheese kinda stretches like the movie animations or live action's; I highly recommend it to anyone passing through. Thanks Proper P&P Co!“

“This is the only pizza place in LA that brings me back east to the pizza of my childhood!!!! EXTREMELY personable staff at this no frills neighborhood pizza parlor ☺️ There's a lot of upscale pizza in this city but this place has my heart ??“

“Amazing people and atmosphere, the food was amazing, the service, and all the people were super nice and funny. Must say, this is one of the best pizzas I have ever tasted. Good price, and you MUST try the spicy wings!!! They are to die for. Recommend going on the classic pepperoni pizza, you can really taste the amount of love out into it!“

“Everything was amazing! 🤙🤙👍👍“

“For a place called tomato pie I expects to have a lot of tomato on my pie. It was good but their wasn't a lot of sauce on the pizza. It was mostly cheese. I would prefer sauce in my pizza especially because of the name. It was good but not enough sauce.“

“Steve the owner is a great guy so full of life and a smile that shines as bright as the sun. He's friendly and full of joy and you will be too. They only sell full pies that are extra large in size. I got the pepperoni pizza with sausage and it was amazing and it cost me $35 and worth it. I also got one of his meatballs and were so full of flavor and the marinara sauce was so fresh and tasty. He only serves on Friday's from 12pm to 7pm in the parking lot of a local church. This will not be the last time I go there! ;)“

“Pizza is bomb love eating there every time I’m in north hollywood area“

“Wow! SO fresh (they import their ingredients incl. flour) and it’s a casual drop in spot — hard to find combo in LA. Drizzle the infused olive oil on the prosciutto panini - so good. Kind people working who care about the food and experience. Can’t wait to come back.“

“NYC cheese slices are my jam, and we have an embarrassment of riches in Sherman Oaks. Within a mile of each other, there are three, count 'em three, authentic NY slice shops. My son and I visited all three of them on a self-guided cheese slice tour of Sherman Oaks. Pizza Wagon was stop three on the tour!

The atmosphere is good...NY decor on the walls in what feels like a truly neighborhood / not-chain space. The service was great too...the staff worked quickly and were abundantly friendly and helpful.

They do a good job with authentic style slices...the right amount of crisp on the crust and a good ratio of sauce versus cheese. The chew was good, though both the crust and sauce don't quite have the superior flavor profile of the nearby places.

It's definitely a good alternative to those, though, and miles ahead of the major chain pizzas in terms of NY style.“

“Let me tell you something my man Alfredo works harder than anyone I’ve ever seen in the pizzeria. His food comes out like golden. His attitude is great. The food looks amazing like every time I come it’s just perfectly made perfectly delicious. Come here as for Alfredo. not only does he walk circles around everything he does it better than five cooks in the kitchen that I’ve worked At. Thanks Alfredo you’re a cooking chef“

“Samo Pizza absolutely blew me away! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming, the smell of fresh dough in the air, and the service? Next level.

Victor was very, very, VERY helpful — the kind of person who truly cares that you have a great experience. Whether it was helping us decide what to order or checking in with genuine hospitality, he made the visit feel personal.

Now let’s talk about the pizza… hands down some of the best I’ve had. Perfectly cooked, rich flavors, and just the right balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings. You can tell they care about quality. Every bite had that “I need another slice” kind of magic.

On top of all that — the prices were totally fair. Great food at a good price? Can’t beat it.

Highly recommend SAMO Pizza to anyone who loves amazing food and even better service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This place is the Best! Do yourself a favor and get yourself something delicious. Head to Bobby’s Pizzeria!“

“I didn’t mean to get into the pizza I was about to get burger
But I cannot resist it the smell of real oven fire pizza

Was the best I eat
No the owner so peaceful and nice I will recommend to all of my friends come over and try out“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“Prime is a really good pizza spot on the Westside that my partner and I always hit up when we’re flying out of LAX, sooo good! It’s a chain with spots all over, except in the Inland Empire.
But this time, the service was kind of a mess. We had a new server, which is totally fine — I’m usually pretty patient — but they were really ignoring us, like just not paying attention. C’mon, bruh!

We ordered a white slice, a meatball hoagie, and lemon pepper wings with ranch. To wash it all down, I had a white ale from Avery Brewing Co. The food was still fire, but the service definitely needs some work.“

“An absolutely stunning place. Its cozy and inviting. They are crafty with their pizzas and have lots of amazing variety. They want to know everything about you when time permits. They are very loving and caring. This place has amazing art and a tv. It looks authentic and wonderful. I highly recommend.

Kid-friendliness: They are very friendly to me and I completely missed their alcohol so kids wouldn’t likely see it.“

“Food was great and service was awesome. I was craving a slice today“

“This place is the Best! Do yourself a favor and get yourself something delicious. Head to Bobby’s Pizzeria!“

“Was craving Chicago deep dish pizza and found Gino’s! Best Chicago deep dish pizza in LA - the food was tasty and the staff is very friendly/knowledgable. Blew my mind when we gave a small description of the pizza place we went to in Chicago being two story with a brick wall and our lovely server guess Pequod’s! She was right! Small hole in the wall restaurant with delicious food. Definitely coming back here.“

“Delicious food and drinks!“

“some good pizza and reasonable pricing🥳“

“The BEST specialty pizzas you'll find ANYWHERE IN LOS ANGELES!!!

Try the half BBQ chicken/half Pesto pizza....then feel free to reach out to me if it doesn't change your life!

Jessica

Dietary restrictions: They have incredible vegan options too!

Parking: The lot is used by the other businesses on that corner but there's always been at least two or three spots when I've been there, and that's at several different times of day/days of the week!“

“I moved a few weeks ago to this area from NY/CT area and wanted a NY style pizza, and I believe Lamonica's mostly delivers.

The pizza is pretty good, but a lot of it depends on the warming time right before you get it. I've had slices here range from perfect crisp to pretty soggy so I would just make sure you get it warmed up enough beforehand. Unfortunately, Lamonica's has smaller slices than typical NY style which is a little sad as I've had slices in and around NY much bigger than Lamonica's but they're still big slices. They are just barely foldable but a lot of times a little soggy unfortunately.

The service is pretty hit or miss, but most of the time it seems fine albeit it seems a lot of the time that most of the employees here just don't really want to be here. However, they're all pretty helpful.

The price feels a little high, I would only come here on a lunch special (11AM-3PM I believe?) as the prices seem pretty high, about $5-6 per slice + $3.25 for a drink.

The place is so great though, as a transit nerd I love all the older subway memorabilia. The whole place just generally feels like NY to me.

All in all, the pizza is good and the place is great.“

“Great people and mixing food. Ask about the Korean pizza and calzone options. So good!“

“A small but very popular place for its exquisite pizzas.

I made 3 visits and nothing to say, it is the most accessible in that sector and its garlic bread, phew, a delicacy. I'm definitely going to try it if you pass through Santa Monica.“

“The crust is thin and crispy. Since it's thin it cools down quickly so eat it while it's hot! But careful it comes out piping hot so gobble it up during that Goldilocks phase. Grab a fountain pop and enjoy. There's 9ish tables inside and a couple outside. Good pizza!“

“very good pizza clean and nice place to eat“

“This pizza is awesome!! The best pizza our family has had in years. The service is also first class Thank you so much!!!!“

“great non greasy pizza Loved the dough“

“This was my second time buying pizza here and the first time they didn’t explain very well their product, but the second time they were amazing on that, so I loved it. Every time I’m in the area is my place to go for pizza. Everything is kosher.“

“Absolutely loveeeeee Grandma’s pizza. The sauce is the perfect balance of tomato, herbs, and a bit of sweetness. It goes perfectly with the basil and the crust on the pizza is perfect. Wings aren’t bad but we haven’t ordered them again.“
