Been curious about Emmy Squared for a while, and now there's finally a location within delivery range in DTLA. Delivery was reasonably quick, but the pizza definitely suffered from the trip. By the time it arrived, the crust had softened considerably from the steam. That said, this pizza reheats absurdly well. Five minutes at 425° on a pizza steel and it was basically a fresh-out-of-the-oven experience again. The biggest sticking point here is the value proposition. Not even the raw price itself, but the portion size relative to the cost. The pies are pretty small -- around the size of an XL glove -- and my order came out to roughly $80 delivered. If these were the size of two Prime Pizza Sicilians, I'd be thrilled. Even Hot Tongue square size would feel easier to justify. But these are tiny pies, and at this price point it definitely raises an eyebrow. I know, I know, I could just pick up for 30% less or whatever, but the point is that I can spend $80-$100 to get 2-3 pies delivered to me anywhere in Los Angeles County, so if it's not from here, it'll be somewhere else. As for the pizza itself: clean ingredients, clean bites, excellent crunch after reheating. Nothing individually mind-blowing, but everything works together well. The cheese gets beautifully melty, the sauce turns rich and comforting once reheated, and the whole thing becomes extremely satisfying. The dough itself wasn't especially notable structurally -- no dramatic crumb or fermentation character -- but the overall eating experience was still very good. I haven't looked at the other reviews yet, but if everyone got the same product I did, I'd guess the overwhelming complaint is probably portion size versus price. read more

Adding an update just to warn others. Besides wanting Detroit style pizza, I chose this location because it was listed as a participating restaurant to get parking validated at the LA Live garage. The worker said they don't validate the actual garage voucher tickets, but give a pre validated ticket for the garage. Upon exciting, the attendant said the given ticket was expired. I was within the time frame and went straight to the garage after. The machine eats the ticket so we couldn't see how old it actually was. I didn't put this into my initial review because I was hoping to settle the issue privately, but no one has returned my email. SO, if you're trying to take advantage of the free parking, check the ticket before leaving the restaurant. The pizza deal was decent, but not having to pay for parking good! read more

Food was good but little pricy for the quantity and time it takes to get your food. You can either order at the front or sit down and use the QR codes on the tables to place your order. It took half an hour to get one pizza and burger and on top of that they messed up my pizza and put the wrong toppings I didn't bother telling them they made a mistake because I was hungry and didn't want to wait another half hour. Half of my pizza was also a little burnt read more

Gabby and Lee we're like a well oiled machine. I gotta tell you they really really handled business like bosses. so I was waiting for the game to start grabbing a beer and just watching Gabby work was like a joy being that I'm in the hospitality industry. I love how she interacted with all of her guests. I love how she gave them options. I loved how quickly the food came out like everybody was like seriously a very well oiled machine. The place is clean. The vibe is fun. It's super close proximity to the crypto center. I'm telling you if I was starting any restaurant, Gabby is who I'm gonna want to be in charge of everything because that's how I felt that she had everything under control. She was the queen of everything and I love that for her. I love that for this company. They're lucky to have her. Do you hear me? Gabby needs a raise!!! read more

**This review is for the Big Matt Burger only** Went there on Friday evening. I didn't try their pizza but the Big Matt Burger was sooooo delicious! I was hesitant about the pretzel bun but everything tasted great together. The burger even had a little kick, yum! The staff at the register was super nice and helpful - she was patient and gave us time to think about our order without rushing us, showed us how to get water and even walked to our table to ask if we wanted additional sauces. Awesome service, thank you Emmy Squared Pizza! read more

Slow ass Service. Waited 30 minutes + for 1 fucken slice of pizza. They said it was because of an order with 7 pizzas ahead of me. Get a bigger oven if you can't put a damn extra slice in. read more

I love pizza and this new place opened up by my job so I've been wanting to try it. I was surprised at the variety on the menu. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza to go. Umm... it was soft and soggy like when you heat up a frozen slice in the microwave. $9- 9.88 with tax. Horrible. I ordered, I ate it, regretted it. If that's their standard for pizza and it's called Emmys Pizza I definitely wouldn't venture out into the rest of the menu. From a pizza lover, never coming here again. I want my money back. read more

Emmy Squared Pizza - Super small for the price. Didn't taste like it was done in house. - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Not the cheapest and not a ton of atmosphere. But they have a good patio and lots of choices of Detroit pizza. The regular cheese slices for nine dollars or small and not that interesting. I got a margarita which had burrata and 6 slices for about $26. It was a tasty and fast meal near LA live and the Peacock Theatre. read more

Overpriced and very slow service! I walked in to get lunch and was surprisingly shocked by how high the prices are across the whole menu for a takeout spot with no dine-in seating. I ordered the cheesy garlic sticks and they pleasantly tasty and beautifully presented. But charging $15 and having me wait 20 mins after being told they would take 5 mins is just unexceptional. Also saw the burger sizes for others ordered and $20 for a burger with no fries makes no sense for a place like this. read more

The service is so nice. A great spot before a game or event at crypto. The pizza is sooo yummy. I love the crust. They serve Santa Monica Brew Works beer and I lovveee it. I got the guava pina sour but they have their classic beers on tap. We sat on the patio. Such a quick walk to crypto after. read more

As a fan of the Emmy Squared at Santa Monica Brew works, I was excited to see a new location open in downtime! It's a great location for a casual lunch during work or a bite before a game or concert. The pizza is on the pricier side but the portions are pretty large and can probably feed 2 people. It's dense Detroit style pizza and the staff was very friendly! They also have SM beers available. read more

Pro's: Great service, tasty pizza. I tried the Colony. Sauce was good, fresh, quality ingredients, VERY cheesy ( I did NOT order extra cheese). Great pepperoni (I love a little char), and the pickled peppers made it a perfect pairing. The honey drizzle took it to the next level for me. Crist thick, but not too thick... crunchy yet soft. Con's: Credit card only and extra 'service' fee (I'm over it). Also the size was small for the cost but I did get full of of half of it so there's that. read more

I was pretty stoked to see this place opening up one night when I was attending a show at the Novo, so when it finally opened I knew I needed to come and see what this place was about. Emmy Squared Pizza is a pretty huge pizza shop located at the entrance of the Crypto.com restaurant area (I think it has a name, but who knows). When you walk into this place there is a huge counter where you can order, or you can take a seat at one of the tables, scan the barcode, and order right from the table which is exactly what we did. We settled on ordering a classic red sauce and mozzarella pizza as well as an order of the Zia fries which is a double order of french fries mixed in with some zia pimento cheese, scallions, bacon, and ranch. One thing I have to give kudos for is that as a note on the order, I asked for lightly baked crust so it would be on the softer side and one of the employees came to double check with me and they did exactly what I asked! When the pizza came out it was perfect for me. The cheese and sauce tasted pretty good while the dough was on the lighter side and had some great taste. The Zia fries that we had on the side were top notch as well. The french fries were crispy and the nacho like consistency of the whole thing was really tasty. Overall, Emmy Squared Pizza gets a win in my book. Although it wasn't the best thick style pizza I've ever had, they made me a solid pizza and listened to exactly what I wanted. The staff here was friendly and although I had to stand at the counter for 5 minutes for a water cup, things happen and I eventually did get it. Will I be back here? Definitely! It's the perfect place to stop before a show or a Lakers game! read more

First time trying I work nearby. update after going I think about five times now I have to admit I like this Pizza more than I would like to admit I'm a thin crust guy. The sauce on the bread is wonderful and the bread is fresh and the pepperoni has an awesome curl. I've never been to Chicago, but I think this must be a pretty good example of some great pizza I live in little Italy Los Angeles/San Pedro with some of the best pizza and Italian restaurants around and this is delicious single slice nine dollars. They have lunch specials two slices for $15 and I can't wait to try the Burger great service very clean and inviting atmosphere and they have a Patio with LA live Security nearby so no nonsense :-) read more

Emmy Squared Pizza - Le Big Matt Burger with Waffle Fries - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This review is for patrons looking to grab a slice only as I can only review for my poor experience. Do NOT order pizza slices from here. They are very small, puny in fact. Which wouldn't be an issue if it was $4 but for $9 a slice I hoped it would be bigger than something that fit in palm of my hand... It was a Friday evening and not busy, I saw they had only a few tables, the manager said slices only take 4-5 minutes at the most, so I paid and even tipped (no idea why) waited and waited, while waiting a guy came in and asked for a slice, when told the price he laughed and walked out loudly saying "$10 for slice? GTFOH!" (Wish I had done that), finally after 15+ minutes and with an apology from the manager (he knew he lied), I was given w/ a tiny corner slice. I had a look of disappointment & surprise on my face and the young girl that presented it knew it was a pathetic slice and quickly looked away. Needless to say I felt ripped off, what a joke. The slice itself tasted fine but I believe their pricing is based off of their business location (LA Live) and a likely high rent. At least give the consumer something worth their money. I was still hungry after the dinky slice but I just chalked it up to a loss. There are no other options for slices in this area so you're better off paying $25-30 for one of their (small) pizzas or skipping this place all together. You've been warned. read more

Shoutout out to the employees at Emmy Squared Pizza. What an eclectic ensemble of fabulous humans. They were so sweet, and held genuine conversation with us. There was a lot of care put into our orders and our experience. Crew, if you are seeing this: May your pillows always be cold, may the lights be green your whole way home, may your socks always match, and may your pizza always be fire. If you are seeing this, I love you. read more

I truly like to leave very positive reviews but there are times when it is impossible. Today was one of those times. When we visited Emmy's around 1:30 today I was told by the woman at the counter (in a rather rude tone) that I had to go a table and order using the QR code on the table. Mind you, others ordered in-person at the counter. The item I wanted was not available via the code so I had to ordered an item that I did not really want. My food arrived 14 minutes before food arrived for my friends. When my friend's fries finally arrived they were so over cooked that they were not edible (hard as rocks) and tasted like freezer-burned. The server was kind enough to get us a fresher order and he was polite, however, the whole experience was disappointing. Giving 2 stars is being kind! read more

Meh. First off, another great restaurant option at LA Live, especially for faster smaller eats. Plenty of seating inside and out. The Pizza was alright, the pepperoni slice I bought was very small. It was $20 for a small cup of beer and a pizza slice just bigger than my debit card. The best part of the pizza was the sauce. I'd probably skip the pizza next time and go for a burger. I'll update when I do. read more

Pizza was delicious and the service was so good! Staff was very welcoming !!! We loved the Cesar salad and jalapeño pepperoni pizza!

First time here. Wasn't that busy during lunch on a Saturday. Which usually means food not that good. But we tried it and was soooo good. Had the le Big Matt burger and chicken parm sandwich. Mike greeted us right away. Took our order and the delicious fox came out quick. Highly recommend. read more

We sat outside where you scan the QR code on the table to order. I waited 30 min and saw another table that came after us get the order, so I went to the front counter and asked about our order - turns out they brought our order to that other table. The person at the counter tried to give us the pizza after that other table opened our boxesand hovered their faces over the food. And the person at the counter tried to blame me saying she brought it to the table - clearly it was the wrong table but she didn't see to understand. Not even an apology was offered. read more

Gaby was really kind and provided Great customer service! Pizza was great and delicious . I recommend it.

They sent my pizza out the door not fully cooked. Like grabbing piece off it couldn't even hold its shape. Like how could you not tell when you cut it? I've had them out in Atlanta multiple times with no issues. It also looks like these pizzas got smaller. For what we pay for this pizza this is unacceptable. Don't waste your time read more
