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…..“

“Exceptional and delicious food. You can taste the thought they put into every dish. The service was perfect as well, it was attentive but at the same time it did not feel forced or too pushy. Perfect place with a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend and would come back. I also appreciated that they add 4% health service charge to provide health care for their employees. It felt like they care about people working there and it was reflected in the atmosphere of the place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’m an east coast pizza snob, and this place nails it! I love both their Detroit style and round pizza. I typically go for plain cheese for my pizza fix, but the good green and hot jimmy are incredible. Also highly recommend the meatballs!“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“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?“

“Amazing food - breadcrumb spaghetti, and Broccoli were standouts

deer tartare, pizzas, wild boar meatballs were great

Drinks were inventive and flavorful

Great service and ambiance, good music that we could still have a conversation over

Parking: Lots of meters and neighborhood spots“

“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!“

“Wow!! This has been the best pizza i’ve had in a minute & I don’t say it lightly. The pepperoni had the right amount of crunchiness and the pineapple was juicy perfect crust as well! The owner and staff were also so warm and welcoming! & not to mention it is right down the street from the beach! If you’re in the south bay this is the pizza you MUST try! Will definitely be back for more.“

“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.“

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

“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.♥️“

“Decided to stop by here after a movie since we were craving some pizza from a local joint. Guy there was so chill and super friendly. I got two slices and I tried the Nutella knot and wow it was so good. Great portion too. I will definitely come back for sure. Very small seating, like two tables and thats it so try to plan for takeout or solo/two person group for inside. Enjoyed my first time here!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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 ??“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Red & Louie’s makes one of the best cheese pizzas I’ve ever had — simple, classic, and absolutely delicious. The crust was spot-on, the sauce had just the right balance, and the cheese was gooey perfection. I also tried their craft soda and loved it — super refreshing and a nice change from the usual. Great spot in Hermosa Beach. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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! ;)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great pizza, super friendly staff“

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

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

“Saw reviews of the spicy pepperoni pizza and had to try. I was not disappointed! It was huge, medium thickness crust with delicious crispy edges and a delicious level of spice! We don't have anything remotely like this on Cape Cod, and will absolutely get it again when we come back. Thank you for such a delicious meal!“

“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!“

“Delicious food and drinks!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“The only reason I give this 4/5 is because I prefer thin crust. That said, where else are you going to find authentic NYC pizza?
And their pizza is DELECTABLE!!!!
So yes, I know I'm being petty, but I was raised in NYC, and we're very picky about our slices...
The service was outstanding, and the vibe and layout of the place made me feel like I was back in my beloved NYC. ❤️“

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