Live down the street from the place and never tried it until last night. So disappointed I didn’t try it sooner! Great vibes, very reasonable prices, awesome service and amazing food. Pizza crust was baked to perfection, meat was high quality and the veggies were the perfect amount of cooked yet still fresh and crisp on top. Salads were great as well - excited to have a new go-to pizza spot nearby.

Very good pizza that scratches the itch. Also very reasonably priced!

Food is generally good and typically decent service, however i went last week, it was 20-30 min before closing to be fair. Ordered a couple of slices and sandwiches to take home. Got it, when I got home I realized that the slice with veggies had all veggies basically not cooked at all, just thrown on pretty much raw, maaybe 30 seconds of warming. Terrible, i couldn't eat it and threw it away. I called and the younger girl who took my order answered. I explained that I completely understand that staff wants to get home, but if that's the case and they don't want to prepare the food, they need to let the customers know ahead of time so i don't order. She said sorry it seemed that kitchen staff was in a hurry, she'd refund that item (it was only a few minutes since i live close, so she still had my receipt and info). This was a week ago and i never got anything back on my card. At the end of the day it's just $7 or so, but it's the overall issue. I don't appreciate their service at all. Either make my food correctly, or let me know you don't have time to make the food, but that's not cool.

A friend invited me to try Vito's Pizza. I ordered the Senza Formaggio Slice -red sauce, tomato, basil, and kalamata olives and no cheese. To balance it out, I also ordered a Pesto Slice - ricotta, mozzarella, pesto.
The Senza Formaggio is delicious. The sauce sort of hangs back, then the big chunks of tomato burst in your mouth along with the kalamata olives, which add the perfect saltiness to the mix. The basil was chopped and plentiful. I highly recommend!
The toppings were fresh, and generously piled onto the slices. I'm not sure if it's on purpose, but the distribution on both seemed to push toppings toward the back of the slice - the first bite doesn't get you many toppings. I think it's because the crust is too thin at the center to support the weight of the toppings. I think the pesto slice would have benefited from a little more drizzle. The ricotta on the pesto slice was the stars and highlight. The crust is very thin and reminiscent of a New York slice!
It's a nice open space - minimalistic and provides screens to watch sports, etc.
Definitely stop by Vito's Pizza for a slice!

We went to Vito’s with our son and his family and really enjoyed it. The service was very good and the pizza was great. Very casual atmosphere, which was/is great for the kids and us !
Vegetarian options: They made the pizza without the cheese and were very accommodating
Friendly staff. It was family friendly and it was on the quieter side when my family went.

Good pies and pasta friendly staff and atmosphere along with reasonable prices! The pizza is New York style and portions are on the big size so order wisely! Great spot if you are dining with family and kids.
I'm from NYC Vito's = top 3 pizza makers in LA POSSIBLY THE TOP LA PIZZA SPOT!
Kid-friendliness: There's always a few Lil ones when I walk in. On weekends it's not uncommon to see a little league team, sometimes both teams who just finished competing against each other enjoying Vito's !
You want the real thing? Vito has been on LA Cienega for close to if not over 30 years. The first time I discovered this landmark was 28 years ago and I have been going ever since. In the early years, Vito got there extra early to make the dough himself. I wouldn't be surprised if he still didn't do that. It may be the fountain youth, because Vito has aged one bit. Once you try authentic NY Pizza in Los Angeles, you will make this your go to Pizza Spot you won't try anything else. Check out their full bar restaurant in Santa Monica.

Brendan is the DUDE. I am an east coaster (philly) and can confirm this is better than some philly favorites. 10/10 recommend. That white pizza slice hit different?
