27 Best Pizza Restaurants in Santa Monica

“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.“

“Great service and welcoming environment. ample parking and seating both indoors and out. amazing selection of both beers and ciders on tap. my only major issue is the removal of the tip system to a forced service charge (mandatory tip) system of 18%. we ordered a single flight and a pint at the bar ourselves, no table service or any real interaction yet a tip was fourced upon us on the bill.“

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

“Triple Beam Pizza isn't your average pizzeria. It's a celebration of fresh ingredients and unique flavor combinations. My experience there was nothing short of delightful, thanks in part to the friendly staff and especially Chef Juan Robles' creations.

First off, the focaccia. I can't recommend it enough! It's the perfect starting point - airy, slightly crispy, and begging to be devoured. The butternut squash option was my favorite, with its sweetness complementing the savory dough beautifully.

Next, the garlic knots. As expected, they were gloriously garlicky, perfect for those who love a potent punch.

But the real stars of the show were the pizza slices. Chef Juan Robles truly outdid himself. The corn mesquite pizza was a revelation. It captured the essence of Mexican street corn in every bite, a sweet and smoky explosion of flavor.

The mushroom slice was another winner, showcasing the depth and earthiness of the fungi. But the real surprise was the Hawaiian. Forget the tired classic! This version sported a delightful combination of prosciutto, jalapeño, and pineapple, creating a sweet, salty, and spicy symphony on your taste buds.

Each slice I tried boasted a unique flavor profile, a testament to Chef Robles' creativity and the focus on using high-quality ingredients.

If you're looking for a pizza experience that goes beyond the ordinary, Triple Beam Pizza is a must-try. Just be prepared to be amazed!“

“Such yummy food and chill atmosphere. The only problem is the close at 8pm when it’s still light outside?!? I’ve seen them turn away several customers many many times. I think it was a covid thing originally so hopefully they go back to more normal hours. At least stay open until 9pm please 🙏🏻!“

“This gave me the perfect five star experience with the back area where the seating is incredible and the food would be even more amazing! I had the pleasure of a friend joining and he decided to have the fungi y truffle pizza with a Pilsner and I joined in with water and two slices of the magherita pizza! The service was incredible and the music was an absolute hit lol the bathrooms are unisex so all you have to do is lock the door. They except most modern forms of payment, and the iced latte with Carmel was the perfect way to finish of celebrating my day. There’s so many things here to try, where I am not on a diet I would have tried even more!“

“OMGEEEEE!!! A friend of mine and I JUST went to Pico Prime Pizza and they are AWESOME!! The pizza was great and worth all is the hype!! I got bbq chicken and pepperoni slices, and they both were DELICIOUS!! There were AWESOME vegan options for my friend!!

Also, DeMarcus (he may even be a manager/asst manager) was a welcome treat! from the minute we walked in the door, he was kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and gave WONDERFUL service and advice!! He also did it with a big smile!!“

“The cold platter was fantastic! Love the atmosphere. Love the decor. Great experience!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped in for a late night bite and was recommended the Lasagna. Let me start off by saying WOW ? not only is it homemade like Mom’s but the noodles are cooked to perfection and the sauce and cheese are bursting with flavor! Can’t wait to come back and try the pizza next time. Overall rating 10/10!“

“Nothing special about the atmosphere but they keep a pretty clean place. The lunch special is awesome.... especially in santa monica. $11 after taxes for a personal pizza, a good fresh brothers salad and your drink of choice. I've seen a lot of turnover with staffing but everyone they hire seems to value customer service. This is the place for our Wednesday lunches.“

“I stopped in for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon and was greeted immediately and was directed to a booth. My friend ordered the Banh MI Bowl and I told her it was very good! I've had it before. I was craving the Thai Crunch Salad, Large. I couldn't finish it so I took the rest home and had it the next day and it was still yummy. The grilled chicken in this salad was cooked perfectly and the grilled taste, amazing!! Faruq, our server was On Point and was very attentive with a smile! He definitely has pride in his job, which is rare these days. I will return to those location again!“

“It was fun! And pretty environment. Food was delicious“

“I went in today for some food but I thought the food court was empty but I heard someone say hi welcome so it caught my interest and look it was pizza I love pizza. The young gentleman Gabriel was so enthusiastic and funny made my time enjoyable while I was there. Most definitely coming back for a slice again“

“great venue. great customer service, excellent appetizers.“

“Good slice of thin crust nyc traditional cheese. Thin crust that you can fold, good sauce spread not too much not too thin either. It's the same size as a Costco slice at twice the cost but flavor wise definitely true NYC style. I'd buy 2 slices if they had more.“

“Hi I love this cafe - the food is healthy, tasty and wide-ranging in cuisines, and the people, Mimi and Justin, make it feel like another home. Mimi is a warm, consummate professional who can handle anything, events-wise, and the space is versatile for any kind of casual and convivial gathering. This place is one of my favorite “third spaces” for working when I need a change of environment from the home office (there are tables that overlook the pool), painting (I’m a huge fan of the paint and sip classes) or just hanging out. Neighbors can consider it a great resource for meals and snacks off the beach (and anytime), entertaining for occasions and even just to grab a bottle of wine or party-food supplies for friends who drop by. Highly recommend“

“Great customer service, very good espresso, tasty fresh pastries.“

“Yummy pizza. Always look for a slice of sicilian. All pies very good.“

“Great service and welcoming environment. ample parking and seating both indoors and out. amazing selection of both beers and ciders on tap. my only major issue is the removal of the tip system to a forced service charge (mandatory tip) system of 18%. we ordered a single flight and a pint at the bar ourselves, no table service or any real interaction yet a tip was fourced upon us on the bill.“

“Will Pizza hut's Pizza Hut but I can tell you this one isn't like one I've ever seen before it's for takeout only folks that means there is like no atmosphere and you just got to counter
The pizza is good and there's a park just up a block away where you can eat.

Parking: Pizza Hut has its own parking lot behind the building off 21st Street.

Kid-friendliness: There is no opportunity for kid friendliness

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and double doors to get up to the entrance“

“My friend and I came here for dinner. There is seating outdoors with heaters but we chose to sit inside.

We shared the Warm Spinach Salad with jumbo shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly!! This salad was delicious!

We also shared the Mushroom Ravioli in the mushroom sauce. This too, was out of this world tasty!

For dessert, we shared the Apple Tart with a dollup of whip cream. This was a slice of heaven

Service was good.
I will definitely return to Rosti Tuscan Kitchen again.

Parking lot in the back, but when we arrived it was full, so we parked on the side street.“

“A friend and I visited Il Forno Trattoria last Saturday. After we left, my friend realised she had lost her grandmother's ring, of great sentimental value. We telephoned the restaurant even though it had already closed for the night, and the team immediately invited us back to search. When we arrived, the staff were cleaning up but had already started to look for the ring and helped us look through the restrooms and, kitchen. At least three or four employees actively helped, including providing gloves and helping us go through the trash to ensure it was lost in a restroom trash can. It was clear that everyone was genuinely concerned and willing to do whatever they could. Although the ring was not found, their professionalism, empathy, and willingness to stay late and actively help without question have left a lasting impression. I mustn’t forget the meal itself had been excellent: well‑prepared dishes, attentive yet unobtrusive service, and a well‑chosen wine list. Taken together with the staff’s extraordinary support, the experience showed Il Forno Trattoria at its best. It is the epitome of excellent service. Whether you are looking for quality Italian cuisine or a restaurant where the team truly cares about its guests, I cannot recommend Il Forno Trattoria highly enough.“

“Really tasty Italian place! I love their sauce. So many good chicken dishes, and the Arancini appetizer (lightly fried rice balls with mozzarella, ground beef in tomato sauce) are ridiculously good! And the Spumoni Bamba (Neapolitan ice cream dessert ball wrapped in chocolate!) Sorry I’m drooling now! And 1/2 price Mondays!!! Say what!!??? (I shouldn’t have told you!) Really good food!“

“Nestled within the vibrant community of The Shores, The Cafe beckons with promises of culinary delights and warm hospitality. Intrigued by its reputation for fusion cuisine and cozy ambiance, I recently embarked on a gastronomic journey to uncover the treasures hidden within.I had the chance to try their new item Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl, I was immediately transported to a realm of savory bliss. The rich umami flavors of the kimchi mingled harmoniously with the hearty goodness of the fried rice, creating a symphony of tastes that danced upon my palate. Each forkful offered a delightful contrast of textures—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—and left me craving more with every bite. The addition of perfectly cooked vegetables added a refreshing touch, while the subtle heat of the kimchi provided a satisfying kick that lingered pleasantly on the tongue.“
