I really don't understand why it has a low rating. It's not the best pizza in the area, but it's definitely not bad, and they use decent ingredients. It's not my favorite in the area, but it deserves a higher rating. They offer a $10 lunch special. When they first rolled it out before COVID, that deal was $5...... inflation So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

Fat tomato pizza has the best dough ever.& The sauce is very rich and robust. The soda was crispy outta tap

This had been on my list to try for a while due to glowing recommendations from friends. We decided to finally try it out on New Year's Eve and we were beyond impressed! First off, our order was ready in 20 minutes! For reference it normally takes an hour or two in Los Angeles. They were quick to update us on the delivery status too. Especially on a busy holiday like NYE! Service was not only quick but super friendly as well. The food was delicious as expected. We ordered the Hawaiian... and I know some people feel very strongly against pineapple but I personally love it. Their version of it seemed to have a little extra oomph. I would definitely order it again but I'm curious to try other types of pizza here too. Either way we will be back! Can't speak to the ambiance just yet since we ordered out but maybe next time I'll update. read more

Fat Tomato Pizza - NYE delivery! - Pizza Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Ordered the Caprese Pizza last night with wings and the bill was $60!!! The pizza was dreadful, not at all as pictured. Horrible cheap cheese and covered in diced unripe cold tomatoes. I'm still trying to get a refund as I literally threw the pizza away it was so bad. Owners of this franchise truly don't care about quality and had one employee working on a busy Friday night. Skip this joint and just order Domino's or 7-11. read more

I'm a big pizza lover and saw this establishment on my way to a live music show at St. Rocks. I was walking so parking wasn't an issue. I was the only customer in there, so I got served right away. I ordered just one slice with sausages, garlic and spinach as additional toppings for a price of about $6. The slice was decent sized, not too small or big though but filled me up(wasn't that hungry). Taste wise it was above average with quality ingredients. I ate at the restaurant so I delete one star for lack of ambience, small seating area and no bathroom(it's possible they let you use the staff one in the back but I didn't bother asking). I would do a repeat visit and buy a whole pie. Food: 4 (weighted 2x) Service: 3 Location/ambience: 3 Value: 4 Overall rating: 4.5 Recommended. read more

Fat Tomato Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Ordered a bunch of pizzas and appetizers for a little beach picnic day and it was perfect. I'm a big fan of bbq chicken pizza (don't judge) and they did it right. We also tried the green monster and that was a hit. Solid pepperoni for those picky kids too. The kids also liked the cheese ravioli and mozzarella sticks. It was an online order placed the night before and it was all hot and ready by the pick up time. Would come back! One funny thing I noticed is the sizing for the pizza. Instead of small, medium, large, they just start at medium, large, etc. to make it sound like you're getting more pizza for the price. These are mind games. Just go by inches to be specific. But good pizza though! read more

Fat Tomato Pizza - Green Monster Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

After finishing a project in Redondo Beach, I was heading into 7-Eleven for a quick snack when an unreal smell stopped me in my tracks. It was coming from next door--Fat Tomato Pizza. I changed course immediately, and that decision turned into one of the best food moves I've ever made. Inside, I met Fernando--super friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly proud of his work. He served me what was possibly the best slice of pizza I've had in my life. Perfectly cooked crust, rich sauce, quality toppings--everything was just on point. The shop itself is clean, well-cared for, and clearly run by people who take pride in what they do. It's rare to walk into a place and immediately feel like you're in good hands, but this was one of those times. To the owner: Give Fernando a raise or more responsibility. He's a rockstar and just turned me into a loyal customer. Bottom line: If you're in Redondo Beach, forget the chains--go to Fat Tomato Pizza. Grab a slice (or three), and say hi to Fernando. You'll be glad you did. 11/10. Highly recommended. read more

LOVE their pizza!! Hawaiian is my favorite! Fast service-we are close so we usually pick up. Chill vibe.

Tried Fat Tomato on a whim because the hubs and I like the restaurant name. We got a large pepperoni pizza, hot wings, the spaghetti, and garlic knots. The pizza is good, I enjoyed the cheese blend and the pizza sauce. Both sons happily had a couple slices. I am a BIG fan of hot wings and their hot sauce is quite good. I also appreciate that the wings are oven baked and not fried. A dip in their ranch dressing is perfection--I dream about these wings. My son had a craving for spaghetti, but preferred the pizza over the noodles. I liked the simplicity of the spaghetti and the tomato based sauce, however, I do wish that it came with more sauce. I definitely prefer my spaghetti to be swimming in sauce. The garlic knots are nice and dough-y with a touch of saltiness and just the right amount of garlic flavor. These are good alone or can be dipped in a side of marinara. I actually dipped the knots in the leftover buffalo and ranch sauce from my wings. This was truly the best decision I had made all meal long. We're definitely adding this spot to the dinner rotation. read more

Took a chance on Fat Tomato for a late night delivery. Glad I did. Not only was delivery speedy (how did they cook such a delicious pizza that fast), but it arrived at the perfect temperate. This is a local chain (but with a location in Seattle???) and Fat Tomato is known for making most everything -- their dough, sauce and dressings. You can absolutely tell. The pizza tastes fresh and doesn't have that heavy mouthfeel during or after you eat it. Pepperoni is the way to go. And they are ample with the servings. If you love pepperoni and thinner crust, you are sure to enjoy what they are serving. This is New York style pizza, which is exactly what I love. Nice and floppy with the perfect amount of sauce and toppings. They also offer a cauliflower pizza crust, and a crust that is gluten free. They have sandwiches, pasta (ravioli and spaghetti), meatballs and wings as well. I look forward to coming back. read more

I've been on a quest to find a new favorite pizza spot. Ever since Grimaldi's closed, I'm struggling to find one that's A) in my area, 2) I can hand pick toppings III) those toppings include kalamata olives and Four) those toppings aren't minced like a Cordon Bleu chef with stupendous knife skills. It's not easy. It's actually downright impossible, unless, of course, you count the homemade versions I make at home. And if you do, my homemade pizza dough is killer delish by the way. Anyway, back to searching for pizza. Fat Tomato was on my list. I ordered, I picked up, I ate it. Was it wonderful? No, it was good. It was a pizza with hand-picked toppings, but they were chopped within an inch of their life. The pie, though it was made fresh, just didn't knock my socks off. I wasn't even wearing socks, but you get what what I'm typing. I'd say FT is a good option if you need pizza stat and you've got to feed yourself, but in my opinion, it won't win any awards for what pizza is all about. Yes, they have kalamata and all the popular toppings, but I'm simply not a fan of chopped anything on my pizza, except maybe garlic - and I'd almost eat garlic whole if pressed. Good for a quick pizza option. Pass if your preference is for dreamy crust, freshly shredded mozzerella and freshly sliced veggies and premium proteins. I'll continue to search. read more

Crazy thin pizza! I had to open the box to make sure there was anything in it. the Flavor is ok but $36 for a XL pizza that they roll so thin when it gets cold it hardens and you literally can snap it in half! If you hold it up you can see through it! Not kidding. It's close so that's a bummer, hopefully they give that homeless guy that's out front every night the left overs. read more

Fat Tomato Pizza - Cheese pizza.. ha - Pizza Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I stopped here for a slice because of all the great reviews, but I was disappointed. The pizza certainly had a unique flavor unlike anything that I've tasted before. I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing but it's just not what I was expecting. It looks like the pizza I'm used to from living in Manhattan (not beach, New York City. ) but it doesn't taste the same. read more

Gluten free Pizza was delicious, definitely tasted better than most I have had. Wings were not gluten friendly.

Love this place! In my top3 (prob #1) NY STYLE pizza in the southbay! The crust is amazing, the toppings are quality and they are not stingy. It is not cheap, but in my opinion it is worth every penny. I usually order the works (light sauce and minus the shrooms) and my wife orders the veggie pie and we love this place. I have never been inside because i usually order delivery or carryout, but we have never been disappointed. 100% would recommend read more

Wanted to try Fat Tomato for a while. First time is a good one. I was able to order a slice of pizza and a drink for under $10.00. Service is good. Pizza was really decent. Thin crust is the way to go. They also have Gluten-free pizza and cauliflower pizza crust as options if that's your choice. Give Fat Tomato a chance. It's worth your slice of time! read more

Fat Tomato Pizza - Slice of pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Great pizza for a great price. Did not disappoint and customer service was great! Was empty when i got there and my order came out quick.

While I enjoy the occasional artesian pizza, my favorite will always be a thin crust pizza with savory (vs sweet) sauce, classic toppings and a good amount of cheese. Fat tomato delivers. Pick up orders are always ready when promised, staff consistently friendly. Have never eaten inside, not even sure you can. Is clean and brightly lit. read more

This pizza was called the green monster and it was absolutely delicious!! The only reason they are not a clear five star is because of GrubHub they have to start hiring delivery people that read the instructions from the customer read more

I really wanted to like this place, unfortunately it just wasn't good. We ordered the Hermosa pizza off of door dash. 1. The pizza is supposed to have goat cheese - no goat cheese. Not sure what the cheese was. 2. The pizza was supposed to have sun dried tomatoes - no sun dried tomatoes. 3. The pizza did have the arugula - which was not fresh, it was bitter. 4. My husband called to understand if they just ran out of the items or made it wrong. After being transferred twice, with no one seemingly able to take responsibility, I urged him to hang up. We ate the pizza. Definitely not great. I've tried Fat Tomato, now I know and I don't need to try it again. read more

Pizza was good, delivery was exceptionally rude and dismissive. I ordered pizza recently, and being just a few blocks away, wanted to give business to a local spot. Ordered two large (14") pizzas, which already seemed expensive at $54 (before tax, delivery fee and tip). The pizza was literally dropped off and the delivery person didn't even deliver to me or ask for me. When I tried to ask about plates and napkins, she was walking away and refused to even turn around and acknowledge my presence. I guess by tipping ahead of time, she felt no need to even act like a decent human. The pizza was hot and delicious, but candidly the interaction left me with a bad impression. One and done for me. read more

I recently ordered ahead through doordash for my Halloween party. Two of the pizzas that were suppose to be XL, came L, I let DD know right away as I was expecting lot of people. DD immediately put the replacement order right away and FTP sent to new XLs right away at no extra charge!! The pizzas are all amazing, especially the Margarita pizza! They even put "sorry" on my new pizzas. read more

Fat Tomato Pizza - Pizza with apology for originally sending the wrong size pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Great cheap thin crust pizza, you can choose your toppings for. They have cauliflower and gluten free crust options as well for full purchases of pizzas/ not by slice which is really nice. He made it in less than 5 minutes and was really friendly and the ambience is just like any local family owned pizza place. Quiet and a good place to take a break, work or get some pizza to take down to the beach. I will definitely eat here again. Hashtag devoured. read more

I've been coming here for years but the guy working tonight gave me a attitude and refused to make anything besides cheese or pepperoni because I could see it was already made and he likely didn't want to make it. I asked if they had anything else and he goes "not really". Every other person I've ever talked to would make my order. If I was the manager I'd look for better staff. It's a bummer because I'd stop here often... look for another pizza place with respectable staff. read more

The pizzas are really great. Wish they can be more on time. I had to wait 10 minutes longer than the estimated online time in West LA location. read more

10/10 as a DoorDash order I can only imagine if I went in person. Thank you for the incredible pizza I've ordered 4 times each being over $100 per order I love this pizza!!!! read more

We had some of their pizza at a gathering, my wife liked the white/popeye pizza, and I liked the more meat oriented pies, so we decided to try is again. Ok so the pizza is good and fresh. Wings are cooked well, just thrown in with a little buffalo sauce. Parking is a pain, you may end up parking on PCH. But this is by far the most expensive pizza place I've ever been to. $25 for a 12" pie. Wings are $2 each. Way too many other options around to do that again. read more

Love their pizza and their unique creations such good flavor. Good quality and variety. They also have vegan pizza etc.

Good spagetti and meat balls , decent service , conveiniently located next to 7-11 in Hermosa . A little slow so order ahead for take out

On the hunt for a new Pizza place and stopped in to have a slice and check it out. We met Greg, who was very nice and he made a whole fresh pie for us even though we were just there for a slice! It was fantastic AND he uses REAL sausage, not the fake mini bits, you get at other places! It was delicious!!! The crust was amazing too; not doughy. We liked it so much we changed our menu for company coming on Wednesday to a Pizza night, ordering from Fat Tomato Pizza! See you soon! read more

Good pizza and quick service. Love that gluten-free and cauliflower crusts are available. We have a gluten allergy in our household so it always nice to be able to find places that offer gluten free options. Food is good , the pizzas are fresh. Salads are hearty and not skimpy either. Although prices are on the high side, it is not surprising since they're in Hermosa Beach. read more

Usually a great pizza but tonight it was delivered cold and sparsely adorned. There were so few ingredients, it looked like a cheese pizza that accidentally got a handful of toppings dropped on it. I called them to let them know and they kind of said "sorry". We're regular customers so this was very disappointing. We're still hungry and we ordered a large. I don't mind paying higher prices due to food price increases but I expect the food to be there. Does that make sense? Update: I Heard from the owner and he's making things right. They had a bad night. I get it. Me too. We're good again. read more

We visited this pizza place for the first time and it was a nice gesture that we got a discount on our order since it was our first visit. The prices were a bit pricey, but what will keep us from going back is that we saw no hand washing or gloves being used. All food was handled with bare hands and orders were taken over the phone and the same hands was used to make the pizzas without washing hands. I was thoroughly disappointed and for that reason me and my family will not go back. read more

"I'll Be Back!" Thats what I said after having a delicious made to order slice of Hermosa Beach,California's own- Fat Tomato Pizzeria! The dough is crisp and delicious and made on the premises.

Great service and Overall quality! I felt the GF crust I got is about the same kind they use at Dominoes for about half the cost, but the ingredients tasted better. I appreciate the customer service as they honored a discount that wasn't available anymore, and that really fueled my purchase! I have to say the regular crust maybe the better, but I enjoyed the gluten free crust, although I think the inside crust was a bit chewy, that is hard to fix because you might have to cook it differently and not just run it through the pizza oven. Nice work! read more

The pizza was not bad at all, but it was kind of forgettable. The dough was not very doughy or chewy, instead it was more like a crisp focaccia. The sauce was under seasoned, and we added our own salt, garlic, and parmesan to kick it up a bit. The cheese and toppings were good, and service was quick. read more
