50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Playa Del Rey

“excellent service and the food was absolutely delicious.“

“Love the pastrami. The best I’ve had. I order it every time I land at LAX.“

“Great food and ambiance , nando is a great host , meatball super good, as well the arancini with ragout and prosciutto, large pizza very tasty… this place is fantastic…..“

“My family and I capped off a great vacation with a dinner here on a whim.
1st) We didn’t make a reservation and the host made it happen to get a party of 6 seated in no time at all
2nd) They were extremely accommodating of 3 kids in a party of 6 which many restaurants are not
3rd) Food was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. From the bread, to the pasta, to the prosciutto to the pizza, and even the mocktail. 5 stars all the way
4th) The service was tremendous and especially when our oldest son, who’s on the spectrum, lost something and the server held onto it for him, which absolutely made his day.

From a restaurant owner in New Jersey, we all left filled, happy & was the perfect ending to our vacation.“

“Each time I’ve been here the food hits the spot. Fresh ingredients baked in an oven in front of you. We recently got their Caesar salad (no anchovies ) and their Margherita special pizza with Bufala cheese. And 2 chilled wines. Food was incredible, service was great! It’s a small restaurant with limited seated so definitely make reservations in advance. They truly earned their Michelin guide status!“

“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.“

“Went there with my kids after a soccer game for a quick slice on a Sunday lunchtime. Tried the Detroit style pepperoni and specialty but my favorite was the thin crust cheese. Super crispy, zero flop, nice sauce. Really friendly staff as well. Definitely recommended.“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“Best Pizza ive ever had. I grew up in Brooklyn“

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

“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.♥️“

“We had Escos for the first time the other night and we were very happy with our slices. We had the buffalo chicken pizza and the classic cheese and they were both delicious. The service was great and Esco brought a table inside for us to dine in on a chilly night. Will def be back!“

“Absolutely delicious, so nice people, has a lot of stuff. They have pastries and drinks and such but their specialty is pizza and do NOT LET ME GET STARTED ON THE PIZZA! It is so good my go to is “The scratch” I don’t even wanna spoil it because it is so frickin good!! Anyway CHECK IT OUT up in palisades I go there all the time after practice and just completes my day!! All love~gotaz2

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely so much stuff you can pick from!

Wheelchair accessibility: You can just roll in pretty much no stairs or anything“

“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 ??“

“Hands down one the best pizza and for sure one of the BEST pastas in Los Angeles. I've tried almost all their pasta, from their bolognese to the Penne Vodka. They are all great. I normally order 2 dishes just for myself.
Best flavors you can't find any were else. There's no comparison to their pizza and the quality ingredients and toppings. I was raised in NY/NJ, so I'm very picky on pizza. I only have a few spots that I would ever recommend and Proper is on top!“

“The place is always quite, the workers are super nice and specially the food always hits, even after years of eating the same food. A hot, single tater tots, with a coke, is the best duo ever made....I'd say even better than beans and rice.“

“Everything was amazing! 🤙🤙👍👍“

“I checked this place out after seeing the reviews, and it was even better than I expected. The Mushroom Pizza and Fat Tomato Works were so good, I can’t stop thinking about them. If you’re over greasy, salty, or dry crusts, I’d seriously recommend this spot – it’s legit New York-style pizza.

The staff was awesome too – they treated us like old friends while still being super quick and professional.“

“yesterday i pay a pitcher of beer with a hundred bill cashier dint have change on box he said after serve the beer gona drop the change at table never show i totally forguet today ill call thr place they dont pick up the phone“

“The portion of the pizza was very large. We were both very hungry. We ordered a medium portion and worried that it would not be enough. When the pizza was ready, I was shocked. Never seen such a big pizza. The taste is also decent and I am very satisfied.“

“My partner and I love pizza baby. It’s super delicious and they offer vegan mozzarella which is perfect for lactose intolerant folks. We’ve ordered from them three times now and it’s quickly become our favorite pizza take out spot.

Dietary restrictions: They offer vegan mozzarella.“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“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.“

“The food here is so good! The portions are also huge, my partner and I only ate half of what we got pretty much and were able to have the leftovers for brunch the following day ?, and it still schmacked after being microwaved! 5/5.

Decent service, it was a busy Saturday so it wasn’t anything to complain about ??

Atmosphere was great, washrooms were clean as well.

Only thing that sucked was finding parking, but we’re not from town, so parking could just be normal for locals?

Overall, you gotta try this place. The Vicky’s Breakfast is well balanced, the Pastrami was cooked perfectly and the roasted tomato and herb salad pairs with it so well to cut through that fat. The mushrooms were a sleeper in that plate ?‍? it was delicious! The chicken and waffles were great too, batter was light and crispy.“

“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.“

“Great spot for authentic Italian dishes and chill atmosphere. It’s been a neighborhood delight for nearly twenty years. Penne vodka is addictive.“

“Absolutely amazing deep-dish pizza! Every bite was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—crispy on the outside, yet soft and buttery on the inside. It made me feel like I was eating inside the Loop in Chicago, but without the usual heaviness or saltiness of traditional deep-dish. The sauce was vibrant, the cheese was gooey and indulgent, and the crust had that perfect golden crunch. The Owners and Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was impeccable. Plus, they have a fantastic selection of adult beverages to pair with your meal. If you love pizza, this spot is an absolute must-visit. I’ll definitely be back! 🍕🔥“

“Great pizza, super friendly staff“

“The food it’s excellent Salads are delicious the bread 🥖 de best and the pizzas 🍕 amazing everything it’s perfect 👍“

“If I have more STARS I’ll give them more than 5!!!! BRAVO! Simply the BEST PIZZA EVER! BEST PESTO SAUCE!!! Amazing and beautiful restaurant near the Santa Monica Ocean boulevard; artfully decorated, Great Sevice! Cozy! This place is insanely a Great Gem near the Ocean, #dreamypizzalovers“

“This was a place I really wanted to try out for a while and I decided to do that when I went out for lunch during school, and the sauce tasted amazing and felt homemade and the crust was cooked very nice and well done. I really recommend this place for someone who love pizza and is familiar with Mario bros

Parking: I didn’t drive I walked“

“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.“

“Discovered Petramale Pizza through a friend. We custom ordered our pizza and ate it in the lot. The pizza came out so hot and fresh.

The cheese was a little muted by the flavor of our toppings - jalapeños. I like spicy food and thought they put the perfect amount - although they were roasted by the oven.

The crust was a highlight for me - I think it had a great texture.

They're very friendly and accommodating. The pizza is made fresh to order, and you get to enjoy the sense of community as you watch and wait for your pizza.“

“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.“

“When we pass this tiny restaurant, my daughter, all the time, asks for a slice of pizza. Today was the day to try this delicious pizza. Service was good, pizza was delicious. I really liked their garlic rolls. Definitely will be back to try their pasta.“

“You won’t find a better sandwich in Los Angeles. Great vibes at this family run restaurant. Hope they open one closer to us.

Kid-friendliness: 100% bring your kids here

Wheelchair accessibility: They were able to accommodate my wheelchair and I could easily maneuver in the store“

“This place deserves more attention. I got the Chicago deep dish, and it was the best I've ever had. The sauce ALONE was the tastiest sauce I ever had on a pizza. Service was great, and I believe it was the owner who was assisting us and also making the pizza. Definitely friendly and a great person with top-tier hospitality. We WILL return to this place. Only down side is that the location is small, but they deserve more recognition for their work.

Dietary restrictions: Allergic to meat.

Parking: It's in front of the store.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“This is the 2nd time in 10 days that we had dinner at Vinici! We came both times with friends who were visiting from out of town. The food was amazing at both visits and so was the staff. Food - consistent and delish! The Pane with butter and Brussel Sprouts are a favorite of both visits! Service - Everyone is friendly and attentive. Ambiance - Love the music they play in the dining area!“

“corner joint is the spot for drinks and food... and to kick back just try there food any u can't go wrong“

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

“For Khachapuri outside of Georgia, it was really very good. I can understand that you can't get original Georgian Sulguni cheese in the USA. But the cheese was a bit too creamy (like Philadelphia cheese or something like that). That would be better replaced with a mixture of mozzarella and feta. Then you get closer to the original. And what should not be missing on any Adjarian Khachapuri is a piece of melting butter. Green peppers were added as a garnish. There is no such thing in Georgian cuisine. Then you'd be better off making a beetroot or a spinach Pkhali with walnuts or pomegranate seeds. Then your Adjaruli Khachapuri will be wow ? დიდი მადლობა!“
