Dined in with a group of 10 people on 6/6/26 around 3:00 PM. Plenty of space and big tables for a group. I did come here a year ago, but now they made the pizzas better this time!! Parking: Plenty of space They have toppings on the side and the minced and cooked garlic was so bomb! You need to add that to your pizza! We ordered 6 pizzas. 1. San Gennard - 4/5, peppers and sausage was tasty! 2. Desano - 4/5, mozzarella and the big pieces of pepperoni was tasty! 3. Lasagna - 4/5, good amount of cheese with the smashed meatballs. The ricotta is delicious! 4. Shrimp Pesto Pizza - 4.5/5, really good pizza the shrimp balances the pizza with the refreshing taste and cheese. This is my favorite! 5. Hot Honey pepperoni doppio - 4/5, the hot honey wasn't too hot. I wished it had a little more kick, but still tasty. 6. Funghi e Salsicca - 4.5/5, you cannot go wrong with mushroom on the pizza!!! This and shrimp pesto are highly recommended!
Very good pizza and also love how spacious everything is from the parking lot to the inside of the restaurant. All the staff are so friendly except for the lady taking the orders in the front. Maybe we just caught her on a bad day but it's a bit of a turn off when the first person you see inside the establishment is giving you the vibe like she works a miserable job.
Where do I even begin... I was confused before I even walked in. You park, and you're greeted by two random red doors--no , no labels, just vibes. I genuinely wondered if there was a main entrance somewhere else. Then I saw a couple people walk through the right door and thought, "That has to be the employee entrance"... but nope, they didn't look like staff. So I followed. Faith over fear, I guess. You walk into the first room to order, but I came to dine in. I spotted some picnic-style tables through the window and figured I was in the right place. After ordering, you're sent through this dimly lit dining area into a larger dining area. You grab a table, drop your number, and wait. Now here's where it gets... interesting. I look around and see cups, metal plates, and jugs of water just sitting out. I'm thinking, "Am I... supposed to serve myself?" Slightly confused, slightly concerned about the whole setup. But I'm hungry, and I'm definitely not eating a salad with my hands like a caveman, so I grab utensils from what I'll call the "figure it out yourself" station. Let's talk food. Italian chopped salad - 1/5This salad defeated me. No matter how hard I tried, my fork simply refused to stab the lettuce. Texture aside, the flavor was overwhelming--way too much balsamic glaze. It felt like everything was tossed together, drenched, and presented as a masterpiece. It was... not. Bianca pizza - 2/5White pizza with ricotta, made with what I assume is 00 flour. Sounds promising, right? Unfortunately, it wasn't even hot--more like it had been sitting for a bit. Mind you, there were only two other people there. At this point, the theme of the experience became clear: confusion and assumption. I went on a mission to find something--anything--to elevate the pizza. Hot sauce? Nope. Had to ask through the window to the front ordering area, and I was pointed to a "spicy oil" on the table... which wasn't spicy. Alongside it: olive oil, Parmesan, chili flakes, napkins--basically a DIY station again. Needed a box? Same story. Ask, get pointed somewhere, go find it yourself. I stopped in because I've seen people call this one of the best pizza spots in Los Angeles. That's going to be a hard no from me. I can easily name at least three Italian spots that do it better. Honestly... I almost hate to say it, but I'd take Papa John's or Domino's over this experience. Would I return or even order to go? That's a no for me, dawg. Does this place have potential? Absolutely.It's a huge space with a cool concept--it just needs a reworked menu and a clearer system. Maybe even full service. That said, it could work well for large groups... just don't come expecting top-tier pizza.
I've driven past this place many times and always thought it looked interesting, so I finally stopped by with a friend. We each ordered our own pizza. I visited on a weekday, and the restaurant wasn't very busy. Even so, the pizzas took quite a while to arrive. It may be because they make each pizza fresh to order, but I'm not entirely sure. As for the taste, I thought it was decent but fairly standard--nothing particularly memorable or unique. That said, if you're curious about the place, I think it's still worth trying. It's a nice spot to sit back, enjoy a drink, and have a relaxed conversation with friends.
This is probably the best pizza I have tried in this city so far. The food is good, the menu offers a wide selection, and it is convenient that you can choose the pizza size. There were many free tables in the dining area. The interior is simple but quite pleasant. Thank you for the good food, the shrimp pizza was especially nice.
An honest review: Genuinely impressed by how beautifully balanced and flavorful the pizza was. The crust struck a great balance between char and chew: crisp at the edges, tender within, with a subtle smokiness that carried a distinct hint of ash in every bite. The marinara (bright and well seasoned) on both the "Marinara" and the "Americana" complemented the dough, the cheese, and toppings perfectly. And while I found myself wishing the pizza were slightly larger for the price, it's difficult to fault the evident quality of the ingredients and the execution. Truly, the craftsmanship is unmistakable, and that alone justifies much of the cost. The restaurant itself offers a spacious "seat yourself" area, and the staff bring the food directly to your table. From the dining room, you can watch the ovens (seemingly imported from Italy) at work, adding a sense of theater to the experience. Most impressive of all, the pizza arrived to our table in under 10 minutes. Parking: there is a large parking lot on-site, making the visit convenient from start to finish. Some quotes shared at the table: "This isn't pizza, this is art." "It just tastes so pure." "When I die, I want this with me in heaven... or in hell with the ovens." "We're coming here for your birthday."
Definitely one of the better pizza spots I've had. Tried the hot honey pepperoni which is WORTH THE BUY. In a crazy part of LA navigation so traffic getting here was a nightmare but pizza was phenomenal. Got a meatball calzone as well to try since I was between the two and the calzone was rather disappointing. Pizza was so good I almost ate the whole thing myself, the calzone sorry to say I wouldn't get again at least not the meatball one. They offered gelato, I'll definitely try that in a future visit. Large parking lot. Service was kinda quick. I got my pizza first my calzone came minutes later.
This review is solely based on to go. Got a couple of pizzas: Margherita DOP, Original Carnevale and Desano. I enjoyed them all. I also like how they provided instructions on how to reheat the pizzas and I followed it. It was pretty good. I believe that if I dine in instead of ordering to go, it would have tasted much better.
We have been back multiple times since my last review. This time we ordered the Margherita Classica VPN, 16 inch (looks bigger to me) $27.00, which has San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella di bufala, pecorino romano, and 4 large basil leaves. The dough is cold fermented, the classic way for a Margherita pizza, and here it is fermented for 72 hours. The taste reflects it. The Americana, a new york style pie, was also ordered in a 12 inch size for $12 as it was a lunch special. The Margherita is the best in LA in addition to being baked in a wood burning stove. Roasted garlic is available in the back near the ovens, as is salt and pepper and other spices. Large casual to very casual restaurant, large free parking area.
I ordered delivery. pizza was DELICIOUS! the crust was phenomenal! Chefs kiss! Vanilla cannoli was very very good too!
This might be my new favorite Neapolitan pizza spot. Casual ordering--you grab a number and find a table. Plenty of seating with bench-style tables, and the place has a cool factory/brewery vibe. Huge menu, so the hardest part is deciding what to get, but everything sounds good. They also have a solid beer selection with pitchers, sangria, and even gelato. Came with a group of 8 on a Saturday around 6:30 PM. There was no wait to order or find a table. Staff was chill and friendly, and food came out fast. We shared a bunch of pizzas, a calzone, and the meatball appetizer, all packed with flavor. The crust of the pizza was the highlight. It was a perfect balance of chewy and crunchy with great flavor. Favorites were the Funghi and Lasagna pizzas. I really like how open the space is and you can watch them cook in the huge kitchen. Water and to-go boxes are self-serve. It's dog- and kid-friendly, and there is a huge parking lot with plenty of spots (extremely rare for LA, especially in east Hollywood). Definitely worth the drive. I'll be back.
GOOD PIZZA & WINE ================= My husband and I decided to venture out of our neighborhood for lunch last Sunday, September 28th, and I am glad we did. My hair stylist recommended DeSano Pizza Bakery because her boyfriend is from Italy and is a bit of an Italian food snob. I thought my husband would like it since he is a bit of a food snob in general. He never reads my Yelp reviews so don't be concerned for me lol. It seemed like a long way from home, but it was only about ten miles, so it was a breeze getting there on a Sunday. We arrived at about 11:25 a.m. and the outside looked like a ghost town. The parking lot was locked and there were no cars inside. I thought maybe they weren't open, so we pulled over and called. They were open and they just needed to open the gate. It is nice that they have a big parking lot, especially in that area where parking is scarce. We walked in and the overhead menu display and beverage options are well laid out. We decided to get the margherita pizza with a little more cheese. It's called Nap Margherita D.O.P.. D.O.P. stands for Denominiazione di Origine Proteta, which is Italian for Protected Designation of Origin. The other version is called a Nap Margherita Classica VPN. which stands for Verace Pizza Napoletana. This means this restaurant has been certified in making their pizzas according to specific, centuries old traditions from Naples Italy. I was thrilled that they had lots of options for wine and those options didn't break the bank. I got two good glasses of Malbec for $8.00 each and I was a happy camper. My husband opted for their canned Diet Coke. He's a Diet Pepsi drinker and we actually had one in the car for his majesty. Trust me. I have learned my lesson after thirty something years. Our pizza came out so quickly I barely had time to sit down. There were some kids at the next table over making their own pizzas which looked fun. Our pizza was very good. I ate some of the cold leftovers the next day as I love cold pizza too. I would love to organize a Yelp hike again at the Griffith Park Observatory and go to DeSano for lunch. That would be perfect.
I visited on a Tuesday afternoon, and ordered to go. Pro: -quick service, -tasty sauce, -charred flavor enhances -huge parking lot -cute space with ordering counter upon entering, and tables in the next room over for dine in -large slices Considerations: -I was quickly given my pizza then he turned and moved away. I called him back to ask for cheese & peppers. He quickly left again before I could ask for other needed items So I had to wait again to ask for paper plates and napkins. -Most of the flavor is in the sauce & crust, not noted in the meat. -seems pricey to me
06/06/26 Saturday Pizzeria specializing in Naples style pizza. We arrived around 3:45 PM with a party of 8 and had no issues with seating. They have three rooms of seating and half of them were occupied by diners even at this non peak hour between lunch and dinner. We ordered 6 different pizzas to share. We requested they cut it in 12 pieces but they forgot for some of the pizzas. My favorites were the lasagna, funghi, and shrimp pesto in this order specifically. Something about the ricotta with the tomato sauce and sausage + basil really got me. It was also less salty than all the other pizzas. There were only 3 leaves of basil though. I think adding maybe a handful more would make this pizza more complete. The funghi was really rich in umami and also less salty among the pizzas. The Shrimp pesto was a little too salty. The shrimp paired well with the pesto, like a pasta dish. I loved that we could see them make and put the pizzas into the stone ovens. They have some complimentary toppings on the side for folks to grab. My favorites were the garlic and roasted garlic. They didn't restock on the basil. Seems like a pattern. Parking was plentiful. Prices are reasonable. Pizzas came out pretty quick. read more

Delicious pizza in an area that I wasn't expecting. It's a simple pizzeria. The ingredients are shipped from Italy from my understanding. Service is fast , you get your number from the order and they bring out your food. There are a couple of TVs so the World Cup matches were on, and there is a lot of space. Great place for groups , they do have smaller tables for couples. They have a variety of drinks to choose from and they have a large parking area adjacent so it's easy. Order to go or dine in Definitely a great pizza restaurant read more

*Delayed post from June '25 Picked up an order to go and wasn't super impressed, though I think an in person visit would be better as many people have recommended dining in. I'd also choose other items on the menu in the future given this experience. Their parking lot is huge and the building also looks very big, but I didn't explore the inside. The pick up counter was quick and easy as I placed an online order. We ordered the Heart of Palm Salad as a starter, which was large enough to easily feed 4-5 people. I enjoyed the citrus dressing and there was a significant amount to appropriately coat the amount of greens. The heart of palm slices, tomatoes, and cheese paired well with the arugula, but the ratio was off with too much cheese and not enough tomatoes. The greens were visibly old as of them were yellowed, had plenty of holes and or were dried out. Of the two pizzas we ordered, I preferred the Capriccio that had artichoke and prosciutto because it contrasted the base of the pizza and added a variety of flavors and textures. The Cacio e Pepe pizza was too heavy without enough contrast between the cheeses, so it felt more like eating a flatbread with globs of cooked cream on top, even though the quality of the cheese was really high. It needs acidity, whether from sundried tomatoes or a balsamic glaze. Some people might like that amount of cheese though since apparently it's a favorite on their menu, so who knows. The pizza dough itself was delicious, even the next day after reheating in an airfryer. read more

The LN capricosa was very good and I would give it 4 stars however the ash covered crust spoiled it. Pompeii pizza #1 The Nutella desert pizza was burnt and also covered in ash. It deserved a BIG FAT zero. Pompeii pizza #2 Although the manager tried to make it up to us so we ordered Pepperoni pizza and I hate to say it was very mediocre. Except for the salty pepperoni it was bland as can be. No patrons at lunchtime and the service was fast. read more

My rave reviews for Desano continue. We held another event there and they're always happy to accommodate large parties. The lasagna pizza was delicious and I went home with leftovers. I learned that they allow kids to make their own pizza which is a nice touch. They have TVs so we were able to watch football playoffs. I did try the gelato and it was not my fav but the portion was hefty for a decent price. read more

A huge pizza place with a large parking lot, major plus in this area. The menu had so many yummy options - we got a 16'' veggie pizza (Verdura). 5/5! Tasty, perfectly made, tons of cheese. I enjoyed the vibe here. Perfect place to come with a large family or a group of kids after practice. Must try if in the neighborhood. The staff is so friendly and helpful. If the pizza was mediocre, we wouldn't have noticed but ... delicious! read more

Everything was yummy! The food was delivered right away. We ordered pizza, calzone, meatballs and cannoli (pistachio and traditional) I love that there is plenty of parking. Bummer they don't do reservations for the main room on the weekend, they offered a private room with min $500 food & drinks however they cannot accommodate our guest on wheelchair tables are too high. But we still love the food here. read more
I love this place for obviously the great pizza but they have their own dedicated parking lot which makes going there a breeze. You order at the counter and then go sit on wooden benches or wooden chairs that encompass wooden tables. We got three pizzas: Marguerite, hot honey pepperoni, and cacao di Pepe. I really liked the cacao do Pepe but the hot honey pepperoni not as much. Just a little too weird. Service was okay. They bring you your food and then you are on your own. Great pizza. read more

DeSano Pizza Bakery was such a great date-night spot. We ordered the hot honey pizza, and since we love spice, it was a total win--definitely recommend getting it extra crispy if you like a little heat in your life. It's a great place for big parties or just hanging out with good people. The setup is more of a help-yourself style, but the service still felt wonderful because you can tell the food is made with so much love. Everything was clean, parking was easy and plentiful, and it's a perfect spot to watch football or hang out with friends. There's no pressure here--whether you want to dress up or show up casual, it's just good vibes and really good oven-fired pizza. Highly recommend for a laid-back but fun night out. read more

Pizza and meatball were so good! Loved the atmosphere. You order your food first and then when you walk to the dining area it's huge. Long tables, boxes to go for the pizza, huge ovens, big TVs, etc. Had a good experience. read more
I've visited this place several times and each time has been great. I've brought colleagues along, and they've all had the same great experience. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a tempting display of gelato, pastries like classic cannolis. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a fun spot to hang out. After placing your order, you head toward the back where you can see the massive pizza ovens and watch the team craft your pizza. It's a cool touch that adds to the overall experience. We've tried several of their pizzas, including the Desano, Hot Honey Pepperoni Doppio, and IL Maiale (The Pig). The Desano is my personal favorite, perfectly balanced with rich tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and bold flavors. The Hot Honey Pepperoni Doppio has a nice kick with just the right touch of sweetness, and the IL Maiale has a lot of bold but good flavors. The pizza here is consistently fantastic. The crust is crisp but never burnt, and the slices aren't greasy. Each pizza has the perfect ratio of cheese, meat, and dough. The quality is top-notch, and for the price, it's absolutely worth it. read more

This place is great, loved the huge seating area in the back with lots of tvs to watch sports and such. We ordered two pizzas one of them a margharita which was absolutely delicious, good quality ingredients making it taste absolutely fresh and delicious. I loved how they bring the pizza to you while seated in the back and loved how you can see the kitchen from the seating area. I'll definitely be back here . read more

Food was pretty decent, but the service wasn't. Firstly after parking, there's no enter signs on the door, so we went around and went back around. It's the unmarked door in the photos that you have to see you have to use to enter. When we got in, the menu is vast with a lot of options for everyone, so we asked the person at the counter for recommendations, but she seemed very disinterested. Even after ordering and in the middle of paying, she started talking on the phone, so we were awkwardly waiting to see if we get a table number or pick up at the counter... It's also a really loud place with no music so you can literally hear the entire conversation of tables around you. Not the best experience tbh, but the food was pretty decent as I said. read more

Ask the Community - DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana
Do you make white clam pizza?
I don't believe I saw any clams There are ways for you to build your own pizza but it's all meat or veggies
I noticed you now offer gluten free crust. Can you share the ingredients?
I was at DeSano's last night and was informed that their gluten-free crust is made out of rice and is $3 as an add-on to a regular pizza. I think that they said brown rice but you would have to double check to confirm.
Have they shut down the Santa Monica Blvd location?
We are open only for pick up or delivery through our partners; doordash, postmates, grubhub, caviar or uber eats.
They were closed up when I drove past last weekend and no one is answering the phone tonight. Where'd they go?
Just had some delicious dine in pizza July 31,2021
Any updates on the parking lot under construction? I've assumed customers are supposed to street park, but we just haven't gone since it started.
When we ate their, they had a small parking lot open (maybe 10-12 spaces) directly east of the building and on the same property. I don't recall seeing one under construction but if you didn't get a spot in the lot there was the street parking.
Have you added gluten free pizza/menu items?
Hello Brittany. Though we don't have a gluten-free crust as of now, we do have plenty of items on the menu that are gluten-free. I would recommend the Caprese for Two or one of the salads. We are experimenting with a gluten-free crust, but are…
Do you have any amber, red and/or craft beer?
Hello Amber, and thank you for your question. As of now, our beer menu holds the following selection; Angel City IPA, Bootlegger's Old World Hefeweizen, Laganita's Pilsner, 805, Union Jack IPA, Black Butte Porter, Blue Moon, Angry Orchard, Peroni,…
Can you order individual slices?
Our apologies, we do not do slices. It just doesn’t work for Napoletana style (thin crust) pizza.
Does anyone know if they use egg in the dough? My son has an anaphylactic allergy to egg. Thanks!
The dough is made from flour, water, yeast and sea salt only. Absolutely no egg.
Will I be served a pizza that was baked IN THE OVEN for 90 seconds or less when the doors are open at 11:30AM? I've been to too many "Neapolitan" pizzerias where the ovens are NOT at full temp until evening.
Yes, we can cook the pizza in 90 seconds. We open at 11:30 am and the ovens are ready to go at 11:30 am.
Do you have gluten free pizza?
No gluten free pizza. However, we are working on more gluten free options. We do have salads and platters like the anti pasto or the caprese for two.
Does DeSano offer BYOB? If so, what is the corkage charge? Thank you.
$10 corkage fee
Is it still BYO? Is there a corkage fee?
You're allowed two regular bottles of wine per party/group- and we charge a 10$ corkage fee per bottle.
Do they deliver? We're in the Silver Lake hills...
You can get our pizza through Chow Now
I'm coming to town from Las Vegas next month and thinking of doing a small gender reveal/belated birthday for my 2 yr old with close friends. Would this be a good place space and volume wise to have a small gathering?
Yes! We have two rooms to reserve for a capacity of 24 guests. Give us a call so we could reserve your event.
