Got a couple of cheese slices. Apparently New Jersey style.They were perfectly crunchy but the sauce could use some work. And while I like a good caramelized burnt crusty edge on my squares just as much as the next square lover, these actually ended up being a tad too burnt (especially in the corners) and lacked the crust synergy that can make square slices a delight to eatThe manager helped me out. He was chill and answered all my question while dropping a little knowledge in the process.It's got potential, just don't see it having the foot traffic in this area. Hopefully the ghost que has its back.It's a probably a 3.5 but I'm rounding up because I'd go back. Square pizza is still surprisingly uncommon in LA county. Emmy Squared is the only other I can think of that specializes. Mostly an afterthought at the places that do have a Sicilian or Grandma.

I followed the story of the business since 2019 and always had the spot saved as it moved - from Fairfax, to Pico, to Mar Vista. The stars finally aligned and I needed a quick bite. Searched for a pizza slice and saw I was close to a spot I had saved but never tried after all this time. Well now was the time!That crust is killer. Truly. Loved the pepperoni so much. Also got a slice of thin crust cheese coming straight out of the oven. Easily one of if not THE best cheese slice I’ve ever had out of LA and back east. Simply perfect. Pizza at its finest. Won’t be waiting so long for my return visits.

This pizza was absolutely incredible. I had the “sick one” and it was the best decision I made that day! The pizza is slightly pricey for the size(10” x 10” and about 1.5” thick) but absolutely worth it. I also got the wings, but wasn’t very impressed, but I am very picky when it comes to the wings, so likely just a me issue.It’s a cute quaint little building, not much as far as indoor seating, but they do also have a couple outdoor tables. I would recommend this to anyone I know that enjoys a good thick pizza!

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.

Surprisingly wonderful. I didn’t know what to expect as it operates like a takeout but there is some counter space and a couple sidewalk tables to eat. Honestly, this pizza is DELICIOUS! It’s a sourdough crispy edge crust with incredibly delicious tomatoes. This will become a regular of mine and it is definitely worth a try. You will not be disappointed. You might want to ask for extra cheese. Yummy!
Are you kidding me?! Did I just have the best pizza of my life? I just might have. These guys just nailed the holy trinity of flavor+dough+texture. A tall pan, home made everything, a hot oven, and the friendliest people. We loved our food (and the house made ranch) and are already talking about our next trip back while this slice is in our mouths. Bravo Lil Dynamite!

Fantastic pizza. Whether it’s Detroit, Sicilian, or somewhere in between, it’s really darn good. The sauce is bursting with fresh tomato flavor, cheese was plentiful and delicious, and the crust had just the right amount of crunch, chew, and density. Will absolutely be back to try another pie.

My pizza was delicious, just what i was looking for... a Detroit style pizza. But, i was a little taken aback by the size vs price. I also unintentionally paid tip when taking it to go. So i really felt like i was overpaying for what i got. The garlic knots were not so great in my opinion.

Pizza was super disappointing. I don’t know if we caught them on a bad day but the crust was subpar, the ratio of sauce to toppings was super lacking, and the only way I saved this meal was a homemade salad. We got “the dad”, not sure if we simply ordered wrong but the pizza was not well executed at all :( If you enjoy true Detroit style pizza I wouldn’t recommend this place.
