26 Best Pizza Restaurants in Santa Monica

“It was our 1st time there. Smaller than it looks in pics so I'd say it's a quaint place. Only a couple beer choices but decent amount of wine choices. The food is shareable which I prefer. The salads were sooo good! The 2 pizzas were sooo tasty. The bread with butter is light & airy. Sauces for the pizza crusts were a bonus.Parking: Next door lot is $25 for about 2 hours“

“Excellent food! Service is usually very good, but our last visit was extremely rushed. It made for an unpleasant experience. If they want guests to leave by 10 they should not except reservations after 8:30 PM. People should not be forced to eat fast at high prices.“

“I've been going to La Vecchia for years, but not as frequently as I like. Had a get together with some dear friends and it was the perfect spot. The food never disappoints and the server was friendly. I had such a great time I forgot my credit card. The staff called right away, phew!!“

“Wow this was my first time trying pizza from here and it was deeee lish ! My husband and I were looking to order from a pizza place other than the big name chains ... we had the supreme 12 inch and it was perfect ! It tasted fresh and the crust was just right ! I love ranch with my pizza and so we got two cups and even the ranch was tasty! We will definitely order again sometime . Was so good and the perfect amount for 2 people ! Thank you SaMo“

“An absolute gem for on-the-go pizza! The pizzas here are fantastic and perfect for a quick bite. What truly sets this place apart is the incredibly friendly staff who always greet you with a smile. Highly recommend for a delicious slice and excellent service!“

“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!“

“We visited the lobby lounge for drinks and a snack and it was wonderful. The drinks were tasty and the food we ordered tuned out to be better than we expected.Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian selectionsParking: The valet is a bit pricy and street parking competes with beach parking during the day.Kid-friendliness: I would not bring kids hereWheelchair accessibility: This location is wheelchair accessible“

“Travis has incredible energy and made us so comfortable! Between serving us delicious food, he held a down to earth conversation and gave excellent pointers. We loved the meatballs, bolognese (we add burrata for extra yum), and the gelato is the best I’ve ever had. 10/10 experience ( I got pictures of the food after digging in hahaha)Kid-friendliness: There is room for strollers and car seats, they are extremely kid friendly and don’t bat an eye at children.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps and plenty of space in the main walkway to find accommodating seating.“

“Solid pizza spot!Good pizza. Some of then only remaining affordable prices available in LA. Great, GREAT cookies!Order via app and pick up in 20 min. Parking can be a bit of a pain but worth the effort. Also occasionally have some sweet shirts!“

“This place is a bit far from all the traffic of people. We were the first customers for the night. Once we sat, people kept coming to look at the menu as we ate. I kept giving them thumbs up. The place got super full. The food was super incredible. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. If you are dining, I highly recommend the Portola fries... they are excellent. This is the second place I ordered them from. They are excellent. Your taste buds will explode. The Mediterranean salad was amazing. The Rosemary potatoes are excellent. The salami in the pizza was just ok. I think it needs a different type of salamy and a bit of salt, not too much on the dough. Otherwise, it was good. The calamari was excellent. We were so full that we did not have any dessert or tea. Next time, I hope the pizza gets improved and that the size is too small for price. The ambiance of the place was very nice. The waiter was amazing, very good and accommodating. Even our dog was happy and came with water that was served to her. Thank you Ugo...very nice addition to the area. I will definitely come back. The people around me loved their experience there. I was able to chat with a few as I left the restaurant. Thank you. Food is excellent“

“We had an early dinner on New Year's Eve and I had a Chicken dish and pizza which was excellent . Our server Ryan provided wonderful service, There was a lot of room between tables and eating outside was so nice was comfortable and relaxing. Recommend .“

“I’ve seen Facebook ads for their brunch for the past year and have been wanting to check it out. I’ve had dinner there twice, both were terrific. This morning, we decided to try their brunch. It was fantastic! Our server was wonderful and so helpful. Such a sweet fellow. He brought over an umbrella, so we could sit outside in the shade. The food was delicious! I had the Frittata di Funghi. The omelet was so flavorful and had a nice thickness to it. The hashbrowns were the perfect crispness without being overcooked or greasy. It was the perfect amount of food. My friends had the Bistecca con Uova & Uova alla Dante. They loved their meals, too. We noted that no additional salt, pepper or other seasonings were needed, which is so rare. My compliments to the chef! Then as if it couldn’t get any better, we had Coppa Osteria for dessert to share. Unbelievably delicious! The manager was so sweet and stopped by our table to make sure everything was going well. Both he & our server bent over backwards to make sure we had a wonderful time, which we did! I was so pleased with our brunch. Everything was perfect and the the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Osteria Del Fornaio! Thank you so much!“

“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.“

“Great service and prices. This is my go to place to take friends and family for a fun night and great Pizza and other items on the menu. You have to order the warm amazing chocolate chip cookie and ice cream for desert. Very kid friendly and parking at the back.“

“Sabine was a star!! We are a party of 14 and an international group!!! We ordered practically everything off the menu! She did not make even one mistake!!!! And she spoke German to my German family!'n we had the best evening because of her! Thank you!!!!“

“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 always forget about this place and they have such great food! There is a reason why they're still here after all these years! This is a great place to bring the family since it's very casual dining. The service was wonderful with the things we needed for our entrees.“

“Quote from someone elses review: "If there's one thing that's hard to mess up, it's Pizza." I COULD NOT DISAGREE MORE! A solid pizza with good fundamentals is incredibly rare, especially on the west coast. And then I found Vito's! A NY style spot in LA. And it's an actual great NY style pizza. I got the 18" Red Meat pie for $36 which is enough pizza for 2-4 days for me. Beautiful undercarriage. Nice thin style crust. Fresh ingredients. Only complaint: a little too floppy for me, but I got it delivered and it's quite a lot of toppings. I'll try the pepperoni next time. Highly recommend this place for anyone who's particular about your NY style. I've tried many pizza places in LA and haven't been satisfied. This is an 8.4 on the Dave Portnoy scale btw.“

“We love Spumoni. We are super fans of the Happy Hour, it is an incredible dinner for the right price. It has become my go to spot for taking my 2 teenagers to dinner. The staff is always kind and attentive. The food is on point and the environment is beautiful. The place is bustling, the staff is super efficient and the place is clean. What more can you ask for? My kids and I love this place. Bravo, Spumoni.“

“As someone who works pretty much all day, everyday, I am ALWAYS hungry. I just had been working on several musical numbers and dancing for a showcase at SMC when I realized I just HAD to eat. So I go across the street for some pizza, and there was Sunny, greeting me right as I walked in! I noticed all the pepperoni and cheese pizza was gone, naturally when your 'zaa is in high demand, so instead of leaving I chose a healthy option and got the house chopped salad. BEST. SALAD. EVER. Right when I ordered it, Sunny's amazing smile lit up, and I could tell I was in for a treat. This salad was HUGE, (I needed an extra plate to separate it, taking it in two waves) and she was generous with all the toppings without overdoing it, keeping it all balanced! And with just the right amazing of salad dressing! One more word. Sensational! Thank you SaMo! And thank you Sunny!“

“This place is simple and easy. The house pizza is their best pie by far in my opinion. The Pizza is solid and I have Always received nice and friendly service. They usually have a soccer game or baseball game on the television :) Great place to pop in for a slice and great desserts do not sleep on the cheesecake !“

“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 an overall great experience. The staff were super friendly. The food was great for a fast food joint and was surprisingly fast with my order. Place was nice clean but my favorite part was the mangers laugh. It will for ever stay stuck in my head. Awesome dude and great pizza.“

“Small but mighty!!!! So Ive been living in LA for a while, West LA for only a few years and as a breed New Yorker i have a very high opinion on pizza; ranging from 'good' to 'just like home.' This spot is very effen gud. Flavor is top notch! NY pizza has this sort of...bite in the taste of the cheese, this place is the closest Ive had to getting that familiar snap as soon as you take a bite. I really liked it. I've decided to go on a hunt to find the best pizza near my place/Santa Monica and this was the first non chain pizza place Ive tried so far and Im very satisfied. Nice light dough too. It was fast and and live a few blocks away so it was still piping hot when I busted it open. One smaaall thing..I ordered pepperoni and kalamata olives...I got the olives but it was a mix alongside black olives that I didnt order. I didnt mind much tho cuz I like black olives so c'est la vie. That being said I'll for sure be back, the bar for my pizza hunt has been set extremly high!“
