“The rumors are true you gotta finish the pizza within like 10 minutes of it coming out of the oven or the crust gets a tad bit too chewy for people without superhuman jaw muscles. But within that golden window everything about the pizza is divine. My goto is the d fresh“

“I am so happy to find such an exceptional Neapolitan-type pizza joint in Los Angeles—and only a couple of doors away from my office. I’ve been back 3 times now, and will be back again for sure! My Italian mama would have approved.“

“NY transplant always looking for great pizza in LA and I don’t know why there isn’t a line out the door here. Different from NY pizza due to the chewy sourdough crust but the square pie is unlike any pizza I ever tasted. Round pie is excellent too.

Super friendly service too. People who really care about their product.“

“Vengo spesso qui a pranzo con i colleghi e uso i buoni pasto Coverflex, ma non vi trovo sull’app: avete in programma di attivarli?“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is an awesome pizza place that I'm so happy to have in the area. The pizza always tastes fresh and they use quality toppings. My favorites are the spicy pepperoni and the great white. We also love the garlic knots and the cookie with ice cream on top. The service is great-- special shoutout to Luis, who always helps with my order and hooks it up for us. Also, love the outdoor seating because the weather is nice and perfect for a lunch. Definitely will be coming back.“

“Best pizza in LA hands down. It’s got the New York style down from the flavorful crispy crust to the perfect gooey cheese, even down to the gruff gentleman behind the counter slinging slices. A hidden gem. My only complaint is that I wish they were open every day of the week but we can’t have everything we want in life :,)“

“The food is high quality, and the service is of even higher quality. The owner very obviously cares about his product and reputation and taking good care of his customers, and you can tell he is 100% genuine. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and I will come here each time I'm in Santa Monica from now on.“

“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 ordered to go on Valentine’s Day. We had a Neopoltina pizza and a Meat pizza and both were out of this world. Best pizza I’ve had out of Italy, hands down! Be advised that there’s no dining room room there, so you either get to enjoy your pizza at home or enjoy it at the beach. 🩷🤗“

“What an amazing space of delicious creativity. The staff are amazing and it’s just not for students it’s for friends and families. The pizza is amazing and filled with your favorite ingredients. The fresh taste and the crisp crust will make you want an xl pizza upon your return. Hey this is the place for great food and fun.“

“great pizza great crew the pizza is a bit pricy but the flavor and quality merit it you can taste the quality and fresh ingredients I highly recommend it just wishi could afford to go more often.“

“The best pizza in LA, as far as I'm concerned. I'm a homesick New Yorker and I will go out of my way to grab Esco's anytime I'm remotely near LAX. Lovely and decent staff, generous slices and dope music on the radio. The Buffalo chicken is a treat. Tip generously, they deserve all your ❤️!!“

“Ordered a slice of their Margherita Pizza with a Coke. The slice was pretty good but there is better value ordering a whole pizza rather than one slice. They also sell calzones, pasta, wings and dessert. I would return to try these other items. Limited parking in a busy area. No restroom available.“

“Atmosphere was great! Service was fabulous. Drinks were tasty! Margarita Pizza lacked cheese but the Sweet Cheeks was amazing 🤩.“

“Fresh delicious food. Child friendly. Great service.“

“😍😍 😍pretty Tasty Pizza😍😍😍“

“myself & wife called in without a reservation Sunday evening, Had a beautiful meal in a very busy and friendly place our waitress Tamera was absolutely awesome friendly and gave great recommendations for us being from England helping with menus information highly recommended 5 star June 2025“

“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“

“Pizza was excellent! Crunchy crust. Very generous with the toppings, unlike some places. It's pretty much a takeout place, While there is seating, it's pretty much an afterthought. If they want to encourage dining there, they could certainly make the dining room more inviting with some simple, inexpensive upgrades. (Like loose the XMAS decorations and Santas. It's almost March, replace the burned-out light bulbs in the chandeliers, red-checked tablecloths on the tables, don't store supplies in the dining room or where visible from it. Some type of partition around the order counter would help).“

“As an LA native who worked in pizzerias for 5 years and has made trips to NY and Brooklyn for pizza, I can say Petramale Pizza is some of the best NY-style I’ve had on the West Side. The crust is perfectly thin, the cheese is high quality and well-balanced, and the sauce has a rich tang. The service is also a standout. The owner greets everyone like a lifelong friend, and they’re generous, often handing out drinks or sides while you wait. What they’re doing for the community is impressive.

On a return visit, I tried their recommended Margarita with pepperoni (the “Margaroni”), and it wasn’t for me. They go very heavy on the parmesan and bake it with parm and basil already on, which threw off the balance of the pie. I'd highly recommend they switch to adding the parmesan on afterwards, and using fresh parmesan if they aren't already.

That said, I’d still highly recommend coming here. Stick with their more traditional pies and you’ll get an excellent NY-style experience.“

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