28 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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing! Excellent customer and table service. Food was great, and at a decent price + with tons of options. Lobby was very clean. Very chill atmosphere. Desserts looked delicious. And did I mention how great the customer service was?! Would highly recommend!!!“

“We had perfect timing, with only one person ahead of us in line. My son ordered a cheese pizza for two, and he said it was good—though a bit pricey, it was still reasonable. The atmosphere was cool and casual, reminiscent of a deli. The restrooms were clean as well. There is free parking available, and it’s child-friendly, with high chairs provided.

I ordered the garlic pesto, which was delicious and well-seasoned. A standout surprise was the fountain drink selection; our favorite was the strawberry dragonfruit. I made a mix of lemonade and dragonfruit, which was fantastic!

This was my first time visiting Fresh Brothers, but I know it won’t be my last. #KeepGoingOAM“

“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“

“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!“

“Classic Pizza has a great variety of menu options! They're your best choice for late-night delivery or slices in the store. You can order from most apps but you can usually also order directly from them by telephone. That's the best way because you get to talk to the wonderful people who work there, and the food is sent out as soon as it is ready. Also, I think that is the way where you pay less fees & the restaurant & driver get all of the money instead of giving a percentage to an app.
I especially recommend the Greek Vegetable Sandwich! Order whatever sounds good to you, and it will also TASTE good!“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food, service and ambience were excellent, we love it !“
