    Meatball sub
    Beachy K.

    Something has changed here. It used to be amazing. The pizza isn't as good. We usually get the eggplant sub but they were out, so we got meatball. Idk... it wasn't that good. The sauce is bitter and tastes raw, the cheese is rubbery and seems lower quality. The crust isn't as good as it used to be. I wonder if this place has changed hands. Still ok but not as good as it was. Definitely different.

    My husband and I found our way to D'amore's Famous Pizza after a beach day in Malibu and after recently finishing Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars show. We are big pizza fans and have pretty pretty high expectations as we are still on the hunt for some great New York style pizza here in SoCal. We weren't really sure how high to set the bar with this place, but we were intrigued enough to give them a try. This shop in particular is extremely small and is really made for ordering, however, there are plenty of tables outside that are shared by the other businesses for patrons to enjoy their food. Service was efficient and helpful. The staff were able to get our slices out quickly and even brought out our slices to us once they were done being prepared/warmed up. In terms of the food, we were happy! My husband may have been the biggest doubter, but he was extremely pleased with our food stating the pizza was probably one of the closest to NY style he's had here in SoCal. As briefly noted above, this location of D'amore's Famous Pizza is an intimate space on the first floor of the shopping center. There is also a Pavillion's grocery store nearly adjacent to the shopping center. There was plenty of free parking shared among the businesses. Our order consisted of: - 2 Cheese slices - 1 Hawaiian slice - 1 Combination slice - an order of garlic knots. Loved the balance of sauce to cheese ratio. Loved their sauce flavor even more. Ingredients tasted fresh and of good quality. The crust was thin and crispy on the bottom, just the way we love it. The garlic knots were a good, warm, soft texture. I wouldn't classify them as east coast style, but they were very tasty! We had a really good first experience and are looking forward to eating in at one of their larger locations in the future.

    Really Good. We got a Great Margarita Pizza (Basil and Tomato) and Pepperoni Pizza and we took to the Beach ..Yummm

    If you're an east coast transplant, (NY metro especially) you need to check this place out. Thing crust pizza that rivals the best pizza back east. Ingredients are fantastic and the crust has enough crunch to be folder and not fall apart. My only minor complain is there was not internet or Wi-Fi and I couldn't use my special. Other than that this place is amazing!

    D'Amore's Famous Pizza in Carbon Beach is irresistible. When I pop in here, I tend to order additional for togo. I can never decide on just one pizza flavor, so I get a few slices of sorts and I love their baked ziti with eggplant...so good! This pizza shop is in a strip mall on PCH. This strip mall and many others are owned by a close friend of mine. And that's how I learned about this pizza place. Right across from the ocean. So looking out, you do hear the roar of the vehicles :( Nonetheless, still amaze balls view while snacking on pizza :) a better vantage point view is if you take the elevator to the rooftop where there are several tables and chairs to sit outdoor, eat drink and enjoy the PACIFIC ocean views. Like some other places in Malibu, this particular spot does NOT offer WIFI and even if you have cellular internet, reception is poor and patchy, which is why you can't check in. I tried many ways to correct that manually, and can't. The owners of all businesses and this pizza place should offer wifi!. Parking is free in the lot if it's not busy, otherwise park on the long stretch of PCH. My bianco pizza needs a bite...recommend! The staff here are very nice and helpful. Par

    Hands down, one of the best tasting pizzas I've ever had! 5 stars for the pizza! Huge thank you to my dear friend for introducing me to this place :). I've had pizza from various popular pizza places in NY and I can attest that D' amores pizza is comparably delicious, if not better! I ordered the cheese pizza (NY style with a deliciously thin crust), a Caesar salad, and I took bites of my friend's calzone. The pizza had the perfect amount of cheese and texture of the crust was perfect, as well! The calzone was decently good, not the best I've had; I definitely preferred the pizza above all! Some extra info: - Small parking lot right in front of the restaurant. - Outdoor public seating only. - No Wi-Fi/internet. - No complimentary cups of water. - No soup on the menu at this location.

    Really loved the pizza here. Dave Portnoy would give it above a 9. The crust was perfect. Crunch with every bite. Perfect sauce. Good cheese pull. No flop. Thin. Not greasy. Very healthy. They also have gluten free options if you need. Celebrities go here. I see why. Joe the owner is an all time American man from Boston and knows what he's doing.

    Huge slices match the big flavors. One of the best pizzas hands down (tried their signature pizza as well as cheese) but it's on the pricier side ($41++ for a whole pizza and 2 cans of soda). Perhaps it has to do with overhead as this branch is situated in a charming plaza in Malibu. Nevertheless I'm a fan now and I'm coming back to try more.

    This place is a little overpriced but considering the location, it's expected. The pizza was ok, but not the best. The slices are large and there was a Yelp reward worth redeeming. In covid times, there's usually a bit of a wait, FYI.

    Wonderful Brunch Spot! Excellent view, food, and service! It's been a long while since we have…read morebeen to Geoffrey's. It's a it of a drive from Long Beach, but for a special occasion, well worth it! If you live or are visiting locally (Malibu or Santa Monica), easy and pretty drive North on PCH. Our adult son made our reservation in Open Table and noted it was for a special occasion, a Birthday (mine). Nowadays, that note is rarely recognized by restaurants and most use Open Table for their reservations! Upon arrival at the hostess station, we were asked who's birthday and said Happy Birthday, and again by the Hostess that brought us to our table, and then by our sever. I felt so special and acknowledged! It's these small gestures that truly make the difference and a very lasting impression! Casey was our server and he was excellent. Helped to make suggestions and answer questions. Checked back often with each course to make sure everything was as expected. The other staff helping to serve and bus, very friendly and helpful. For drinks, I ordered a Mimosa and my husband and son both ordeted cappuccino, all excellent. They have an excellent cocktail and wine menu. Rolls came out piping hot, nice touch! For appetizers, we started with Crab Cakes and Heirloom Tomatoes with Burrata. Burrata is house made and it shows! Both were so good and I would highly recommend ordering. They have many great options for starters! For entrees, I ordered the Chocolate Chip Challah French Toast. It came with Chicken Sausage and Frsh Fruit. Too much to eat after appetizers (generous portions) but happily took some home. The chicken sausage was very good. First time I have had chicken sausage and liked it! Our son ordered The Eggs Benedict (with prosciutto). He lived the Hollandaise saucen had a kick. I tried his potaoes, red roasted and very good. He also had fresh fruit with his entree. It was the first time we had fruit in more than a week (the parasite scare!) and it was wonderful to have fruit one knew was freshly cut (rinds still attached) and tasted so wonderful, really missed it! My husband ordered the Hangar Steak and Eggs. He absolutely loved the steak and the accompanying Avocado Cilantro! There are so any great options for Brunch Entrees, hard to choose but think.we chose well. We had absolutely no room for dessertsn although the dessert menu looks wonderful! Birthday cake awaiting at home! Our server, Casey, brought out a scoop of Vanilla Bean, house made, with a candle. Again, very nice touch and another way to recognize my birthday! It was delicious! Dinner menu looks wonderful and they have a nice bar area. Wouldn't hesitate to stop by for a deink if I was in the area! The views are absolutely stunning. The restaurant opens up completely the outdoors (sliding glass doors) and has a spacious patio with lots of umbrellas to produce great shade! Parking is Valet, $15 added to your bill, very convenient. Valet waa very polite and friendly. Thank you Geoffrey's for a wonderful Brunch for my birthday!

    I wanted to share my disappointment regarding my birthday dinner at your restaurant Saturday night…read moreJuly 25th @5pm. We spent nearly $500, and unfortunately, the experience did not meet the expectations we had for such a special occasion. The ocean view was a beautiful view, but the food didn't match the price or the occasion. I was surprised that the New York steak was served with french fries and that you didn't have baked potatoes. It felt like something you get at a casual restaurant then a fine dining steakhouse, and the filet mignon was served with two pieces of asparagus. The Watermelon salad was simply plain and the watermelon wasn't even sweet!!! Everything Was served out of a bag, the arugula, slivered almonds and feta!! Simply plain!! Nothing fancy!! I have to say the crabcakes were excellent on a beautiful presentation and the dessert was absolutely delicious and that was the best part of the meal!! I don't like comparing restaurants, but at many other places we've celebrated birthdays, the staff has gone out of their way to make the guest of honor feel special. There is usually some acknowledgment, attentive service throughout the meal, and an overall experience that feels like a celebration. Sadly, none of that happened during our visit. I do want to recognize our waitress, who was the only server covering the entire patio. She worked incredibly hard and did an amazing job despite having so many tables to manage. She was not the issue. However, I was disappointed by another female staff member who was serving the black pepper. I simply asked for extra pepper on my steak, and she appeared irritated and walked away abruptly, which felt unprofessional and left a negative impression. Overall, there was nothing special about the dinner presentation or atmosphere that made my birthday feel special. For a celebration that cost nearly $500, I left feeling disappointed and wishing the experience had matched the quality of food and reputation your restaurant is known for & spending nearly $500!!
