We went to De La Nonna for book club, and while I had been here once before and remembered enjoying it, I feel like this second visit I was really able to settle in and appreciate the food. The Caesar salad was probably one of the best Caesar salads I've had. It was light, crisp, and refreshing without feeling overly heavy. We also had the crudo, which was excellent, and the burrata with tomatoes and crispy bread -- so simple but so good. Everyone at the table was loving it. But the pizzas were definitely a highlight for me. I love the square shape and that thick, crispy dough. And the chili oil they give you on the side is SO good. Such a great little touch and definitely something I kept going back to. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a really nice patio and a lovely indoor space. The staff was friendly, they have a great wine list, and we had a delicious Blanc de Blancs sparkling that paired perfectly with dinner. Overall, De La Nonna is just a great restaurant for a relaxed dinner with good food, good wine, and good company. I'm glad I got to come back because I definitely appreciated it even more this time around. read more

A good place to go watch the sunset on a warm evening! My friend and I drove to Big Bear Lake for the day to see eagles at nearby parks. This is not far from Fawnskin Park. It's next to a wood paneled classy hotel in a big parking lot - easy to find. The Caesar salad so delicious. Once we saw the focaccia pizza bread with bubbling cheese just had to order with our drinks and it did not disappoint. The patio upper counter where we sat had a good view of the lake. There are tables too with covered shade. Inside there is a bar and tables to sit also. Service was good. Prices reasonable. Place was clean. Thumbs up! read more

A great spot for lunch or dinner. The food is good and service is decent. The pizza is fluffy like focaccia but with a nice crunchy bottom. Note that they come with 6 square slices. Market Salad - I enjoyed this. Really good texture and flavor contrasts: bitter, sweet, and salty. White Pizza - I'm a big fan of white pizzas, and this one was right up my alley. Great crunch from the onions! Pepperoni Pizza - They don't skimp on the pepperoni. A solid choice if you want something simple. Sicilian Pizza - The capers and olives made this a salt bomb in the best way possible. My favorite slice on the table. read more

The best pizza I've ever tried! De La Nonna is located in the arts district of LA. My sister brought us here during our visit to Cali and it truly was the best pizza! We tried the mushroom and the white pizza which contains Japanese sweet potato, fennel, onion, mozzarella, pesto, fennel fronds, and Parmesan. It was so delicious! We were seated outside which had a great vibe. The service was great. Our server was very attentive of us. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Amazing food !! The service was great. I did have a hiccup with them before we went the night before and called and they said they weren't able to accommodate our large party but it ended up being six of us and it worked out. I loved how it gave a night in Italy vibes. The pizza was amazing, it was made fresh, and I believe it was a pan crust. Our waitress was very very sweet. The dessert was amazing the Tiramisu melted in your mouth nicely, and the olive oil cake was just decadent. Oysters were great, and so was the Caesar Salad. We did have the potatoes those were okay wish they were a tad bit crispier but other than that everything was amazing. Parking was a hassle. Paid lots or street parking are available. read more

De La nonna has been a go to for me. Closest thing to a real Italian cafe. It gives me all the vibes. When I'm missing Italy I come here. The frozen spritz is so refreshing, their focaccia pizzas are delicious and filling and the rotation of salads are never a miss. Dog friendly patio, all the staff are amazing. Love the relaxed atmosphere and fresh ingredients. The kitchen really works well together and knows quality. De La nonna never disappoints. Well maybe once, there was a moment when the crudo barely had any fish read more

De La Nonna - Amazing pizzas - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best pizza in LA. Despite the thick crust it is somehow the lightest pizza with some of the most flavorful toppings and combinations. The salads are also fresh and flavorful. I've ordered take out and also at the restaurant. The space is bright with tables on the patio or booths inside. It is a great spot for groups. read more

I am kind of a pizza snob so I wouldn't say this is a pizza fave for me personally, however, I really did enjoy the atmosphere, service, and the drinks. I would suggest viewing this as a pizza restaurant rather than a traditional Italian restaurant since the menu is limited. Pizzas had good flavor but I'm not a huge fan on the thicker/fried style breading. I will say you can get some great pics here for the gram! read more

Finally stopped in to try De La Nonna. Came after work on a Friday, so had a reservation ahead of time, and we were able to get seated immediately. Cocktails are slightly limited as it is not a full bar, but they do have options. The frozen Spritz was very flavorful, more fruit forward and would be perfect in a hot day. The Nonna's Medicine had a nice complexity to it with the flavors peeking their heads out at different times through the process. For food we started with the crudo, mussels and grilled oysters. The crudo was very fresh and had a lot going on with it's simplicity. Just a great bite. The mussels were decent but really didn't stand out in any way. The grilled oysters, however, had flavor and texture, with a Parmesan crust on top and the oyster and juice underneath. Very good! For pizza, they are almost like little personal focaccia pizzas, cut into four slices. We tried the mushroom, pepperoni and white pizzas. The mushroom has a garlic cream sauce and herb mix with Parmesan. You definitely get the mushrooms, as they are ample, but they do not over power the pizza. Just a good blend of flavors in each bite. The white comes with Japanese potato, fennel, mozzarella and pesto. Another really great bite with the potatoes not overpowering everything else. Finally, the pepperoni with spicy honey. The spicy honey is more like spicy marinara honey sauce, but it works. Could have used more of that as it came on the side. The pizza itself, with mozzarella and pecorino tasted great. Maybe that focaccia is the move? Overall, De La Nonna did not disappoint. Everything was very nice, and sitting on the patio when the weather is perfect is always a move. I would say to skip the mussels but, everything else, give it a try! read more

I was very disappointed with my experience at De La Nonna. The ambiance is the one bright spot -- I'd give it a 5/5. The space is beautiful and has a great vibe. Unfortunately, the food and service were closer to a 2/5. The best thing I ordered was the tuna tartare, which I'd rate a 4/5. However, the bread served with it was awful. It tasted like cardboard, and I honestly had to spit it out because it was so unpleasant. The pizza was extremely underwhelming. I don't understand why Instagram keeps hyping this place as having some of the best pizza in LA. It absolutely did not live up to the hype. I'd give the pizza a 3/5 at best. The Caesar salad was also disappointing. The dressing tasted like it came straight from a bottle, and the crushed croutons added nothing but an odd texture. The romaine and kale did not taste fresh to me. The oysters also did not taste fresh to me, which made them difficult to enjoy. Service was equally frustrating. The waitress told me to grab a bottle of Grattamacco Chianti 2022 from the fridge myself, only for it not to be there. When I finally got the wine, the bartender served it in a regular water glass. I had to ask for an actual wine glass. It was also unclear that you need to order through the bartender. Overall, the atmosphere is great, but that's where the positives end. Between the mediocre food, ingredients that did not taste fresh to me, and disorganized service, I left wondering what all the hype was about. Based on my experience, I would not return. read more

Super yummy and vibey pizza spot in the Arts district! I've had this place saved for the longest time and I'm so happy I got to try. The pizza, salad, and whipped eggplant were all so yummy and perfectly paired with the Prosecco we got. Tables are a bit small but they brought over a stool to fit our pizza on! Cute interior and a great place for a small or large group :) read more

The service is top notch - I swear every 10 min they'd come to our table & ask if we needed anything. & they were really helpful with recommendations. Now the pizza was mid for me - I personally not a fan of a thick-dough like foccia bread type pizza, but if you like that you'd like. I got the white pizza ($18) and this can def be shared between 2. We got some appetizers (eggplant, fingerling patatos, ceasr salad) which had plenty to share. Parking was the worst - hard to find street parking. I had to pay parking in a garage about 0.7 miles for $24. read more

it's like a... Upscale Italian Urth Caffe! You order at the register and they give you a number like Urth Caffe. Then you pick your choice of seating and your food will be delivered. The oysters were delicious and fresh. The Diet Coke was on the pricey end but they prepare it extra cold and a cup of ice on the side. The market salad was very tangy. The portion was just right. Would come again for a quick solo bite or to linger on a casual summer evening. read more

A casual Italian spot in the Arts District with a cute garden-style patio. Parking can be a hassle since it's mostly street parking or paid lots, which get pricey on weekends. The menu was smaller than expected. Our group of four shared the caesar salad, meatballs, pepperoni pizza, and roasted mushroom pizza. The appetizers came out quickly, but the pizzas took a while due to what seemed like a miscommunication. They were waiting for us to finish our starters before bringing them out. The pizzas were easy to share, though a bit salty. The pepperoni pizza also had a few overly burnt slices on the bottom. Service was a little confusing. We ordered at the register, had to flag someone down for water, and weren't quite sure if it was self-service or not. Overall, the food was good and the patio has a great vibe, but it's not a spot I'd go out of my way to revisit. read more

Our friends took us here to celebrate me finding a wedding dress. We went right when it opened, so street parking was very easy to find. We were also sat very quickly and had enough room for a party of 6. We loved the decor of the place! Our server was also prompt and very nice. The food was delicious. I absolutely loved the burrata, the frozen spritz, and the ceasar salad. The pepperoni pizza was also a hitter as well. Everything we tried was flavorful, so you can go wrong with what you pick. Would come here again! read more

This place is fantastic. I love the vibes of the interior and outdoor patio. My only gripe is how loud the music is inside. I'm so glad we chose to sit outside but the inside is so gorgeous that the music really drowns out the aesthetic. We started with the kanpachi crudo which was pretty disappointing. The sauce was a basic lime citrus, there was hardly a sesame flavor and the pomegranates didn't add much. The kanpachi was way too firm and not a softer meat like it should be and lacked flavor itself. But the saving grace was the star of the show - the pizzas. We ordered a margherita nonna style and the market special which today was the carbonara. the crust on both is phenomenal! So crispy crunchy on the exterior with a chewy airy interior that is doughy but light. It's truly a fantastic crust. The margherita was executed perfectly but the nonna style which is just a calabrian chili paste on top isn't really worth the $2 extra. It's a decent flavor but not so much that it's needed. And that carbonara special was to die for. The golden yolks perfect to creamy perfection, the super crunchy lardon with that meaty taste, the cheesy richness of the sauce, slight kick from the pepper - this was outstanding. So although a few minor mishaps, the pizza is amazing and I would return over and over again for that read more

The dough itself is on the thicker side and the portions are huge! You'll definitely get full on 1 slice. I also ordered the oysters which were very fresh as expected. The service was fine. This restaurant requires you to order and pay at the front rather than a traditional sit and order restaurant. Overall, a beautiful restaurant with great dishes.

De La Nonna was such a cool and fun experience! The space is very intimate. A cozy little pocket of LA that feels more like someone's stylish backyard dinner party than a restaurant. Inside, warm wood tones and soft lighting give it that effortless "Italian neighborhood spot" energy, while leafy plants and creeping vines blur the line between indoors and outdoors. Step outside and it continues: garden vibes everywhere, communal tables, string lights, and that casual hum of people genuinely enjoying themselves. It's the kind of place you'd bring a date, your friends, or honestly just yourself and a glass of wine. Service here is friendly and refreshingly unpretentious. Quick heads up: you order at the counter rather than traditional table service. But, the staff actually knows the menu. They're happy to walk you through the items, explain flavor profiles, and give recommendations without making you feel rushed. It feels collaborative rather than transactional. Pepp Pizza (4.5/5). This pepperoni pizza was phenomenal. The pepperonis were perfectly crisped at the edges, giving that addictive little snap and curl that adds both texture and depth. The crust deserves its own moment; light, airy, and not dense or doughy. You can eat multiple slices without feeling weighed down, which is extremely dangerous. And please, do yourself a favor and add the hot honey. That drizzle of sweet heat cuts through the richness and elevates the pizza. It's not overpowering, it just lingers in the best way. I'd absolutely come back to work my way through the rest of their pizzas. Love this place! read more

My boyfriend and I made reservations here for Valentine's Day. The service was great, I was honestly impressed by the service. The food came out quickly and the servers were quick to respond despite it being a very busy day. The highlight of the meal was definitely the pizza. You would think that a pizza is so basic, how could it ever go wrong. However, the crunchy and delicious crust was honestly the star of the show. The hot honey sauce is a must! It brought that extra kick and flavor. Overall, De La Nonna is a great place to go for its ambience, cute interior, and amazing food. I highly recommend. read more

Let's talk about focaccia! Just driving by on a Saturday and hungry. Found them on Yelp and it was on our way to our destination. Cute, open garden vibes is very laid back dress code. The sweetest host greeted us and recommended maybe, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a looong time. It didn't stop there. The Margarita pizza "à la nonna" was mouth watering. The airy and crunchy but soft focaccia was so deliciously unexpected. I'm still thinking about it! read more

Ambience - casual disco vibes! The caesar salad was refreshing and light, but had a slightly stale aftertaste for the dressing, not sure what was going on there. Still delicious though, and a huge serving size. Could do with more layers and less chocolate shavings in the tiramisu, but we still ate it all Parking: Street and metered read more

My partner and I came here recently with some family, and we were so glad we did. The restaurant is cute and cozy with a relaxed vibe. Makes for a great spot to relax over some great food and drinks. We ordered: Caesar salad: very nice and refreshing salad served in a huge portion, perfect for sharing! Lox pizza: THIS WAS AMAZING. Completely unlike anything I've ever had on a pizza before, and something I cannot stop thinking about. My partner and I usually share everything we order, and I did NOT want to share this! Classic pep: really good, quality pepperoni pizza. Get it with the hot honey on the side. Tiramisu: also amazing. Very rich and decedent dessert. I also didn't want to share this! A must get. We also ordered a few drinks off their happy hour menu. Notably, they have happy hour every day, even on weekends. The beers they have on draft are from Italy, as are most of their wines. Overall, a very solid drink and happy hour menu. One thing to note, I believe the lox pizza is only served on Sunday, so don't expect to see it available all the time. Overall, we loved De La Nonna, and I fully expect that we will return soon (on a Sunday) for more pizza, tiramisu, and drinks. read more

After a failed attempt to get into another spot in the arts district, we decided to walk into de la nonna for dinner, and honestly, I'm so glad the universe pushed us here instead. The second we walked in I immediately felt the cozy and warm vibe. The patio is beautifully lit, and the inside has such a charming atmosphere to it. What we ordered: - Classic Pepperoni (10/10): if you order this, the hot honey is a non negotiable. Perfect of savory + sweet, spicy, and crispy. Incredible. - Caesar salad (9/10): perfectly tossed with a generous amount of dressing. A touch too lemony for me but still very good. - It's a lox pizza (100/10): the star of the night. House smoked trout, garlic cream, dill... the pairing on this was insane. Only available on Sundays I believe. Worth planning around. - Tiramisu (100/10): listen... this was one of the best tiramisu's I've ever had. Wow. Amazing food, fantastic service, and vibes that'll make you want to stay for hours. Without a doubt, some of the best pizza you can get in LA. read more

De La Nonna - Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great pizza in a casual and fun, converted-warehouse-chic venue that inspires conversation, laughs and good times. Though you are seated at a specific table by a host like at a traditional full service place, you then order at the counter/bar, place a number on your table and wait for a runner to bring your food and drinks. This is advertised front and center as a pizza place, but the menu is actually quite eclectic, with an appetizer list that includes several crudos, oysters (both raw and baked), salads, whipped eggplant, and even house-made onion dip. As I was dining with my daughter, who has a small appetite, I didn't get to sample any of these, but will be returning with wife and friends to indulge for sure. What we did get was two of their wonderful Pizzas. These are not the usual pies, which is an enjoyable departure. Built on very fluffy focaccia dough, the quarter-sheet-sized pies arrive puffed and tender on the inside but crispy and appropriately just-a-bit "greasy" at the edges, where the cheese caramelizes like a Detroit pizza that somehow snuck into DTLA. Toppings are fresh and very tasty. My daughter's pepperoni pie came with thick-cut, artisan small pepperoni slices that curled and crisped and tasted far better than the mass produced discs so ubiquitous at pizza places. I had ordered the house hot honey on the side, and it added a generous jolt of spice and sweet. That hot honey paired perfectly as well with my sausage and peppers pizza, which also sported crispy cheesy edges, top notch toppings, and a crust that is both airy and substantial. So why am I not giving this fantastic place 5 stars? Two small issues. 1. While I appreciate the casual concept and understand that having a leaner staff helps keeps prices down (prices really are pretty reasonable), it's a tad inconvenient to return to the counter to order refills and the like. It's possible that I could have kept my tab open like at a bar, but that wasn't made clear. It would be great if they made the system a bit more transparent and "customer first." 2. On this particular night, LA was experiencing an unusual rain storm with an equally unusual drop in temperature. Wind, cold, rain... yet the restaurant had their front and back doors open, creating a major draft and rendering the restaurant genuinely freezing cold. My daughter couldn't take off her coat, and we sort of rushed through dinner so we could get to a warmer place. Despite the 2 wonky things, the food is stellar, and we will be back to enjoy it all again. We'll just make sure the weather's a bit more balmy. read more

Recently visited with a group of friends on a Friday night and the vibes are definitely there. I was really excited to try their pizzas but unfortunately they're not for me. It's definitely a unique take on pizza- they're more like flatbreads/cheese breads with toppings. Personally, too heavy for me but I'm glad to have tried! Their frozen spritz though- delicious!! So good that I had to have seconds. Would come back just for this :) As for parking, would recommend parking in a structure in Little Tokyo and walking over as valet is $20. read more

Found the cutest Italian spot in the Arts District. I was mesmerized the moment I walked behind the closed wooden fences. The ambiance was romantic and vintage. Camilla was our server for the night.

They have gluten-free options, too!! I love all of their pizza. My favorite was the white pizza and gluten-free that was more friendly for my digestive system.

Nonnas are all the rage it seems, thanks to a charming film and Staten Island restaurant. The nonnas from San Pedro have gathered here to share their wonderful, authentic cuisine.

The standout dish was the crispy charred melt in your mouth sea bass, perfectly cooked. And the cannoli was definitely the best I've ever had- so thin and crispy. It felt like Italians in the know come here and I can see why. A great dining experience. read more
