    Let's be honest here, this is nothing like Joe's in NYC. Understandably this isn't NYC but if they're gonna hold the name and slap "A Slice of New York", then at least be close to looking and tasting like a slice of NY. Pizza lacked cheese and taste. Felt like eating cardboard. Depressing pizza

    BBQ chicken pizza, pepperoni and jalapeño; also the "granny pie"!
    Jason S.

    Outstanding NY style pizza and the absolute closest you will get to the lower East side of Manhattan... trust this! Anything you get rocks and the service as well as the ambiance sucks but I didn't come here for that.... Come here for the pizza and GTFO! The people that work here break their back to make you happy- so be nice! Also tip well....don't be a schmuck.

    Meat Lovers Slice and Pepperoni Jalapeno Slice

    If in the DTLA area Joe's Pizza is a great place to grab a slice or a whole pizza for lunch. I came in and got the lunch special. Buy two slices and get a free drink. A lot to choose from depending on what pies they have out. I chose the meat lovers and the jalapeño pepperoni slices. Big slices. Very filling. Plenty of seating inside or pick up to go.

    White Slice

    The White Slice at Joe's Pizza is delicious. The combination of ricotta and mozzarella with spinach and garlic is savory.

    Really good pizza by the slice or by the pie. Staff is very friendly. They prepare the pizza very fast. I don't care for the thicker slices but love the thin slice. And they will add fresh jalapenos to any pepperoni pizza for you.

    Bbq chicken slice, garlic knots and extra marinara. 4/5

    Always on the hunt for affordable + satisfying eats in DTLA for lunch break. Although I'm usually a creature of habit when time is of the essence, plus trying new spots isn't my strong suit when I'm really hungry. I'm low-key mad I slept on this place. It was walking distance from my job which was convenient. I grabbed a BBQ chicken slice ($5.50) and the 6-piece garlic knots with marinara ($4.50). Both were super solid. The slice was big, flavorful and tasted fresh, and the garlic knots were warm, garlicky, and perfect for dipping. Simple, yet satisfying. I haven't dined in yet, but despite the area, the space is clean, modern, and inviting--which deserves its own shoutout. This spot is officially added to my list of cheap, reliable lunch go-tos.

    Meat Lovers Slice

    Really crispy and thin pizza. it was really tasty and served hot. A pizza slice and a soda were just a tad under $10. Served with peppers and mozzarella cheese also. I was pleasantly surprised , as I didn't expect much. I will definitely return soon.

    pizza slice

    They asked me if I wanted my slice to go or to eat there and I said to go. They just threw my slice on a plate and in a bag. Most of the cheese slid off. I don't know why they offered to go if they don't have the proper boxes. Spent almost 6 bucks to scrape cheese off my plate and the grease got all over the paper bag they threw it in . If you want pizza in downtown LA I recommend Braazo's better service and you can actually take your pizza to go in a box without worrying about grease or cheese falling off.

    We stopped by this place after perusing the Fashion District and on the way back to our car. We are visiting from Hawaii but my brother lives here and wanted to stop for pizza. He said Joe's is good but never went to this location. I ordered a slice of caprese. i'm not a huge fan of thin crust but this was perfectly done and the cheese was absolutely delicious with a crust that didn't taste burnt. My brother ordered a whole pie just for himself! That's how much he loves Joe's! I don't think I'd ever come to this location as it's pretty seedy but if I'm ever back in town, I'd definitely go to one of the other locations.

    BBQ Chicken Pie

    Wow, just wow. The best bbq chicken pizza i have ever had in my life. Today one of that day when i first time ordered original calzon. OMG, that's my favourite now. I promise you, you will enjoy it

    We stopped here on Friday, 7/11/25. We have been to another location in LA, so I already had a premonition that this location would be good. And it was! Great pizza to refuel on after a LA night ride. I noticed a ton of activity and crowds around this area and at the club across the street. I wanted to point out if you are in between activities and need a quick bite, I recommend trying this Pizzeria!

    This is one of our Go To's late night . Parking can be a hassle on busy weekends. Love the pizza here . It's also my girls favorite pizza in Downtown . Ever since I first brought her to joes she loved it , now she goes with out me . Grandma pizza will always be my favorite style . I also love there plain cheese pies . Very delicious . Customer service can be a bit better . Small location . Very few tables . Overall pizza is great .

    Joes joes joes!!!!!!!!!!! You know the deal, get your pies, and enjoy the vibes! They slices are huge and the price is right! Bring like 12 bucks you'll be eating hella good. The staff is awesome and friendly. Outside is Dtla so don't be playing keep your heads up not in the phone! watch your step and lock your doors and lock up anything visible if you find parking. Spring street gets sketchy especially at night.... Overall I'll be back.

We always seem to end up ordering the same dishes and we've never been disappointed. Everything tasted great as usual. They also had the Italian Custard on the dessert menu this time. We had tried it once before and absolutely loved it, especially the caramel sauce that comes with it. We practically had to fight over the caramel sauce. LOL. It's that good! If you ever see it on the dessert menu, I highly recommend trying it. We enjoyed everything but the overall atmosphere felt a little different this time. We actually wondered if something had changed with the management or the restaurant itself. We used to have to wait quite a while for a table but this time we went on a Friday night and there was no line at all. The crowd also seemed very different from what we remembered. We also felt a little rushed by our server which was disappointing. One of the things we always liked about Maccheroni Republic was the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere and we had never felt rushed during our previous visits. I can't quite put my finger on it but something just felt different this time. Still, the food was great and overall, we had a good time.

Love pasta and just had to try this place. Good amount of bar seating and a few indoor long tables seatings for bigger groups. More seating also available in the patio just outside the glass wall. Very cute. The venue was whimsical, but a little underwhelming with the food in my opinion. A good number of options of interesting pasta flavors and beautifully plated, but unfortunately was only able to try two. 1. Sweet corn agnolotti: highly recommended by the server and wasn't wrong. Good corn flavoring with a slight sweetness and chewy pasta. Delicious! 2. Squid ink malfadine: had high expectations but this dish was underwhelming. The pasta was good but there really wasn't much more flavor to it. Tasted like chili flakes and not much more. Wouldn't recommend this pasta. Was also torn between the broccoli bucatini and beet spaghetti. Almost went for a third but thought it would be too much carbs for one night. Perhaps another night when we're in the area.

The only minor detail is that the clams were fresh and local, likely Pacific clams, which have a less intense, briny flavor compared to the Mediterranean vongole veraci that give off that rich sea aroma.

No detail is overlooked. Beautiful design -- reminds me of what your Italian grandma's dining room would look like if she had great taste. We took a Lyft since the parking situation is tough (but there is a paid lot down the street) and we were running late.I called and left message that we were running 15 minutes late and they got my voicemail and they were great about. Table was available right away. Cocktails were impressive - and we started with a dirty martini and a Negroni blanco. The garlic bread made with Bub & Grandma's bread is a clear winner. Our server Emerson was top notch and steered us through the menu and drinks and was informative and friendly as very professional. When he'd walk through dining room, he was scanning to see if anyone was trying to catch his eye. And when I did he came right over. None of this look straight ahead stuff I sometimes see when it's a busy night. You can get out of Donna's for a reasonable price if you stick to garlic bread, salad and one of their excellent pasta dishes (5 of the dishes are in the $25-$28 range). We splurged and got the scampi (from France) what a sauce, truffle gnocchi, amazing chicken Marsala with amazing mushroom sauce $32) and the Cesar salad was delicious and not mailed in. We ordered 1 dessert (panna cotta with pistachio brittle and fresh figs) and they brought a tiramisu and tiny glasses of their own limoncello out on the house. We also tried 1 glass of their special vermouth since we are vermouth lovers. A++++ experience all round and it was a high level of ingredients and food -- chef and his team are top notch. I now need to find out who's the chef in that kitchen because they've built an excellent team. Donna's slyly calls itself just a "red sauce Italian restaurant" but I'd say that's a real understatement...and I think it's a great date night or small group place because it's intimate and you can hear your table partners talk. I don't recall any music playing - just the warm brown background noise of fun conversation. We ate early (my preference these days) and if you don't see any openings for reservations, ask Resy to give you an alert -- you'll get notified when reservations open up. Emerson said they always hold some tables for walk ins. PS -- I normally don't leave such long reviews, but I have some friends who are chefs and who own restaurants - and when I see other Yelp reviews where someone leaves a one star because the hostess was allegedly rude when everything else is great -- I just hate to see how it can affect a restaurant. I have no relationship with this restaurant at all. I don't know any anyone who works in it or owns any part of it, but I just don't like to see people abuse the reviews -- the restaurant business is tough as it is. And as someone who has worked downtown and driven through Echo Park for 30 years - I think Donna's is a great addition to Echo Park.
