“Hole in the wall spot meaning small joint, reasonably priced and killer food. Best pizza I've had in as long as I can remember. Neighborhood feel and vibe on both sides of the counter. If you know the place, I don't need to tell you. If you haven't been, go. If you likes pizza, you'll loves Hanks.“
“We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. The restaurant was crowded but not too noisy, everyone was enjoying themselves. The server was amazing and offered menu suggestions. I forgot the name of our appetizer but it was delicious! I danced at the table the whole meal because I enjoyed every part of it. Definitely lived up to expectations and I'd be back.“
“This place was cool. It was bright, loved the bookcases and the owner took the time to come out to greet us. We had a delicious dinner. The crispy mushrooms and lettuce wrap appetizers were really good. Add a pizza, salmon tacos and a mushroom burger, we had a feast!! We’d definitely go back again.“
“One of the most authentic and reliable Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. The food has been consistently superior and delicious. What makes it even greater is that it is never overpriced like some other pretentious eateries. I have been there many times and I will go there again!“
“I came around 6pm. The place was busy. I was told wait will be 40 minutes, luckily they gave me the small table right away.I got the special Margherita, it was excellent.There are 2 Margheritas, one uses regular mazorella the other one uses fresh buffalo mazorella. I had the special one. It was glorious.“
“I would give 6 stars if that were possible! The food at Dante is consistently incredible, and the service is outstanding! I was here with a group a few weeks ago and we had such a wonderful experience. The staff really goes above and beyond to make it a special dining experience. 10/10 recommend! <3“
“Best salad that I've had in years. Food was fresh and served by staff that really cared about us and our experience. The atmosphere was relaxed, clean, and welcoming.Vegetarian options: Large selection of vegetarian options. Staff was also happy to make other dishes, like call zone, vegetarian for us.“
“I brought my coworkers here a few weeks ago for a company team lunch and everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the food! The portions were large and plentiful, so much so that we were super full and still had leftovers to take home. My favorite dish was the kale salad, which was surprisingly flavorful. The pizzas were also great!I contacted OSPI ahead of time to make a large party reservation, opting for the lunch time prix fixe menu. The whole process was super smooth, and they were very helpful in helping me choose appropriate dishes based on the dietary restrictions of our group (we had vegetarians and gluten free people, both of whom were accomodated).My only critique is that the food took quite a while to come out at the start. I expected it to be out sooner since we had a reservation and had ordered a fixed menu, but after being seated, we still had to wait a decent amount, so we were quite hungry. After that, the pacing of the meals could've been slightly faster, but it's understandable because of the large party servings. Otherwise, service was great.Unfortunately I was too distracted eating to take pictures! The food was delicious!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“LA MUST GO! Everything we ordered from the scallops to the jamon and the mushrooms were delicious. And the spicy calabrese pizza was SOO good. The presentation of the food was also a treat. The service was great, the ambiance was cozy and quaint, and the owner was as generous and kind as could be. We had an exceptional experience and will be returning soon.“
“This was a first time dining experience in Cali…I recommend the restaurant 100%! They were a busy place indeed. The staff is so friendly, and we came in with a reservation and showed early. The hostess checked in with each person waiting to be seated multiple times-you don’t see that very much in most places. A good vibe inside and the atmosphere is nice also. Even though we were early, we still did have to wait almost 15min beyond our rez to be seated but, we were delighted when they offered to bring us an appetizer because they were sorry we had to wait so long. Awesome tasting food and they serve breakfast and lunch as well daily.“
“We came on a Friday for lunch and it was nice and quiet. The staff are friendly and nice. The bread was complimentary and came out warm. Delicious Diavola Pizza was delicious. The spicy kick was well balanced with the sweetness of the honey. The crust was not floppy or soggy, but soft with a slight crunch. The gnocchi was soft. My husband liked the pine nuts in the pesto sauce. Branzino: This was my favorite dish. The sea bass was nice and light. The capers and lemon complimented the fish nicely. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were good and some had a nice crisp. Blanca Dessert was okay. I liked the chocolate and crunch of the cookie crust, but it was mostly cream. Definitely a great place to try with reasonable prices!“
“Best pizza in LA cause it's from Italy duhh Best stuffs around just maybe use the real buffalo mozzarella or have it available on pizzas - I just get the worst farts from your fior di latte ... you know so like maybe put a ball or 2 in that kitchen for all your lactose intolerant folks - also it's more Italian anyway Forza azzurri and thank you“
“Food 5/5Ambiance 5/5Service 5/5The pizza was super delicious! I also go the Caesar salad. The pizza was really thin and had a lot of toppings and flavor. I got the white clam and it wasn’t too fishy. It was super delicious and tasted great with the extra lemon on top and the red peppers. I also got the sausage and pepperoni. It was also amazing and had a lot of flavor. would definitely recommend price for a large slice of pizza.“
“Still sitting here eating and had to write this. Riera's special sub is incredible, and they carry Zapp'a chips. My fav! What stood out though was the service. Guy at the counter couldn't be nicer to me and everyone that walked in. 10/10 all around!“
“This is a great little pizza joint. The owner and operator, Luis, really cares about making excellent food and the community around him. He doesn't try to imitate other pizza parlors, which is how it should be. The result is delicious, melt-in-your-mouth crust, quality pizza sauce and an array of fresh toppings. There are also tons of tasty appetizers.Give South Bay Pizza a try. It's amazing pizza at an excellent price!“
“Came here for brunch with a large group and got the Cheeky Ri (highly recommend). Service was fast and attentive especially for a big group but most of all it was the best brunch I've had in years. Will be coming back and recommend to anyone.“
“Are you willing to work for your food? Are you willing to wait in a long line? If the answer is yes then please take the time to try Apollonia's. Their hours are strange and they are cash only in the restaurant but it's worth it.This is best thin slice pizza I have had in California. They also have incredible Detroit style slices. The pepperoni vodka slice is a must try.Very little parking.Parking: Very little parking. Small lot that is always full.“
“Marco's cooking made me feel like a child again, sitting at the table with my grandparents, without time and without worries. The scent of ragù, the freshness of basil, the magic of pizza and the good heat of homemade pasta brought me back to my homeland. The lively dishes and the genuine atmosphere are a living tradition, try it to believe it! Here there is not just taste, there is a real experience that has no equal in Los Angeles. I'm happy to have found you!“
“Obsessed! Among a sea of fancy, loud pizza places in LA, Heirloom stands on their own merit. I drive quite a bit just to visit this spot. The pizza is fresh, balanced, and delicious, the place is comfy, and the owners are kind. My ONLY complaint is that they’re not open more often (I always crave them on Friday).“
“A favorite of mine. Beautiful, thoughtfully crafted and big wide open space with indoor and outdoor dining.Great staff. I love the groceries they carry along with the natural wine corner. There's an awesome book aisle as well.But the food...consistent and delicious.Pizza, burgers, short rib plates, wings, salad, breakfast burritos...SO TASTY!They have coffee, ice cream, beer, wine, etc.“

“This place is kind of a hole in the wall location in West LA. I found it when I used to go to the gym next door to them. But, the service and food are great. I always sit at the bar, and the bartender is always very friendly and professional.“
“Lots of great food options! GF pizza is cooked in the same ovens so you have to ask them to cook the pizza on a metal tray to prevent the crust from being completely contaminated, but be aware that since it's a shared oven, cross contamination will occur regardless (which is important if you have celiac or are very reactive to gluten).Dietary restrictions: Their GF crust is pretty good. Salads are generally GF too.“

“Love “the dad” from here! They really know what they’re doing. Easy online ordering as well with pretty accurate estimated time. There’s a back parking lot for convenient pickup as well. I ordered from here for the superbowl and everything was super on time. The time provided from ordering online was actually spot-on which made my pizza run right before kickoff sooo easy!!!One of my go to pizza places on the west side. Caesar salad was actually great, wings are good, & love the garlic knots! Can’t complain about a gem like this at all. Highly recommend if you’re craving a thick slice of za! The dough is phenomenal.“
“Great food and beautiful interior! The best plant based place I have ever tried. The flavors are amazing and they have something for everyone. Def a must try. Service was good and attentive. The food is very creative and plated beautifully. And again the interior design is worth a visit all on its own.“
“My brother, dad, and myself needed a place to hangout for a while so we could talk; and we’re so happy we chose this place. The pizza was amazing, the service was top tier (the two people there working were super personable), and the prices were reasonable. If you ever need pizza, go here.“
“First of all wow, this pizza is really good. Ive had this place on my bucket list for a long time, always wanted to come and try the pizza but never had a chance until today. And boy was it the best decision Ive made. The service was outstandind very kind and welcoming. Ambiance was perfect as well. Definitely recommend this place. Best Chicago pizza Iva had in La. 10/10 5 stars without a doubt“
“Decided to stop by the Walk of Fame and found this spot about a 10min walk from where we parked. Atmosphere when you walk in was a cool modern vibe. Ordered the the Yucca, Empinidha (Chicken and Shrimp), Bossa Burger and it was great despite it being a different temperature I asked for but Daniel was super attentive and told this to the management. Management also took care of us attentively and in a timely manner. Definitely recommend again and if you need an exceptional waiter please ask if Daniel is working. Thank you Bossa Nova for leaving my brother and I with full bellies and a great experience!!“
“What a delicious restaurant with authentic Ukrainian food. We traveled here from the Bay Area and were shocked to find a place that served only Ukrainian dishes. We got the varenyky with cabbage, borscht, Syrniki with custard, holubtsi , kompot (juice from berries) and nalisniki (crepe with chicken and mushroom. Everything was perfect. The service was also great, the server was attentive and he always made sure we enjoyed everything. Everything was very clean and well decorated. I love the Ukrainian music as well !! :)“
“CASH ONLY. Unless you order online on your phone in front of the guy at the counter or use the cash machine to withdraw money for a $3 fee. Both are ridiculous. Pizza was pretty good! I will go back with cash in hand some day because the food was worth it.“
“Great food, excellent wine list, wonderful and helpful staff. Very reasonable prices for excellent food -- good variety of choices on the menu as well. Options for seating -- inside or outside -- are both excellent. Outside can offer better acoustics for larger parties.“
“The pizza was about average. The beer was good. The prices are more than I can afford but I was there on my birthday so I didn't have to pay lol. The workers were friendly and the place wasn't too busy. I would recommend it if you Don't mind spending about $4 a slice of pizza.“
“We did not have a reservation, but we were treated like royalty. Well as close to Royalty as you can get lol. The food was absolutely amazing musters the bread and the ravioli. I met with my co-author who lives in California and I live in Michigan and it was the perfect place, everyone was so lovely.“

“Best dough, best sauce, best cheese, not greasy at all It’s a must go when my kids are visiting from riverside, it’s their favorite pizza and mine, best beef pepperoni, we go there at least once a month, unless I’m working close by Then it’s at least once a week!“
“Best pizza in town for sure. Pizza is a sensitive issue because it is very difficult to find an authentic pizza with ingredients that are fresh. Ingredients used in this unique pizza are from Italy. I love the design of the place. The colors used and the whole vibe is just perfect. I will come back.“
“Came back for a sit down lunch one day- ordered the turkey pesto sandwich. It is beyond good!! The bread is so fresh and buttery/salty. I also tried the poppy oatmeal cookie- I personally wasn't a fan. The sandwiches and bread are divine though. Can't wait for my next trip.“
“Love this place been going for more than 15 years, it's a small spot and great flavor , order takes like an hour if they're busy never bothers us we call ahead of time, probably the best pizza for me honestly my family moved away not far but they still come and get pizza , im local palms resident and it will forever be my spot , the owners are the best the sweetest , just real food and people 100% and we usually get x large or large pepperoni , I sometimes get a calzone just for me hehe with pepperoni and mushrooms yummm th e pizza I suppose is thinner crust, love it ! The best !“
“My family and I come here pretty regularly. The food and service is always fantastic! We especially love the garlic knots, the wings and the meatballs. Pizza is incredible as well! The fettucine alfredo is REALLY delicious as well, one of the best I've ever had. One thing we were not impressed with however was the chocolate cake, so I wouldn't recommend it. But then again we don't come here for the dessert!“
“Very large eatery near the beach that offers a healthy choice of food to choose . I wasn’t please that when we walked in the Thin Body Waitress did not look our way or even acknowledge us so we just sat down at a table and flag down the other Short Body Lady who gladly assisted us. Other than that the Food is always good at this location & Long Beach where I go 99% of the time.“

“I ordered take out online and it was fast and easy and the food was ready fairly quickly. As I enter the restaurant it was very busy and the atmosphere was pleasant. While waiting for my order a manager or owner without asking handed me some fresh bread to enjoy. That was nice. The food was delicious and I’ll definitely go back :)“
“Last night was perfect. Going to Pizzeria Mozza has become something of a family tradition after the Academy Awards. It has always been good but last night was exceptionally so. Everyone was in great spirits. We felt welcome. Our servers made excellent recommendations that all sounded great and tasted even better. Chicken Liver Bruschetta, not an ordinary go to, was delicious. Calamari Fritti was crisp to perfection. Nancy's Chopped Salad was ideal for 4 of us to slip. A beautiful place of Shrimp, baby eggplant with Zatar, hummus and Shug was warm and delightful. Pizza with mixed museums and a whole sauce and a red sauces birrata were perfect flavors for the exceptionally fine crust. Oscar night is special and so is Pizzeria Mozza. The room has also been redecorated since the last time I was in. It looks pretty and feels more spacious even within the same footprint.“
“Went here for a late night dinner after a delayed flight, and absolutely loved the pizza. Since it has a build your own option, jain options are possible. We did Build our own pizza, and it was great. The dough texture, cheese, amount of toppings, sauce flavor, everything was great. The quantity was also really good. Recommend ?“
“Our favorite pizza place in L.A. out of more than a dozen we've been to. We always get their XL Flyin' Hawaiian which has pineapple, Canadian bacon, and (real) bacon bits.Also, their music is so awesome- usually reggae or something similarly upbeat and laid back. I'm always Shazaming songs while waiting for the pizzaParmesan and pepper flake shakers are usually on the tables but if they forgot just ask, they're really good. It's worth it to ask“
“Most charming Italian restaurant in the Southbay! Chef David Slay always gets the best ingredients for freshness and flavors of Italy. The made daily focaccia bread to start is a must! We love the lasagna, chicken piccata and mushroom and fennel pizza!“
“I walked here for coffee and pastries this morning as it’s my uncle’s favorite local shop. It’s the perfect breakfast vibe on a beautiful day. I can’t wait to come back and try the pizza as well! Say hi to sweet Marisela when you’re there :)“
“I am glad to see this New Romantic and hip restaurant take over this spot. It is beautiful and great for groups. Staff is kind and helpful. Parking options include self paid parking as well as valet. If you want free parking you will have to walk quite a bit. Prices and portions are as expected. Everything was delicious including the pesto and Tierra Donna pasta, branzino, mushroom and margarita (not a margarita fan since the sauce is normally whatever and there isn't enough cheese but this one is my fav since it has a good amount of cheese and the tomato sauce is robust) pizza but my favorites include the eggplant parm (my favorite one as it was delicious without being a messy heavy dish), tortellini, arancini, and their sundae/ice cream. A great spot if you are a vegetarian. We got salads as well including the Caesar but in the future I would skip them to make more room for the other items.“
“Food is consistent 90% of the time in all their locations.Nice ambiance and high ceiling. Can get a little noisy in here.I suggest doing the bomba style when ordering their pizza.I suggest ordering a plate in every category in the menu which you can share in a group of four or five people.I highly recommend reminding your server to serve any bread first. On my last visit it was served last and we were almost full with our first four plates.Plenty of parking spaces, availability is scarce.“
“Love letter pizza and chicken is so good! Local mom and pop shop with amazing chicken and pizza. The salad could use some work but the main dishes hit home for sure. I recommend getting the crust fill in and the fried chicken! Best local Korean fried chicken near Gardena!“
“Our first meal at Cantalini's was a family reunion of sorts. The food was tremendous and the service fantastic. So good that my husband and I went back for lunch on our own a couple of days later. Definitely try the grilled veggie sandwich, the pasta special--whatever it is, and the cannoli. You won't be disappointed!“
