I stumbled upon Petramale Pizza by total chance while driving from Santa Monica to the Marina…read moreTheatres and spotting their large pizza flag. Operating exclusively on Friday afternoons out of a church parking lot with classic rock playing. This portable setup has just works. They are pumping out fantastic, massive 18" pies that are a lovely cross between New York and Napoli styles. The crust has a delicious taste and a perfect chew, but with the structure and size of a large NY pizza pie. The Margheroni pizza was excellent, featuring an ultra-tangy tomato sauce with a lot of bite, though my pepperoni pie could have used more slices of pepperoni. The team has thought of all the details. Service is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and organized. Because they only sell whole 18" pies, you'll want to have family or friends to share in the goodness. While there are a few picnic tables on-site, most people opt for takeout. There is a slight wait if you walk up, but they accept same-day orders over the phone for a specific pick-up time so it's ready when you arrive. Payment is seamless--they take cash, debit, credit, and I easily paid via my Apple Watch. Tip: Remember, they are only open on Fridays! Call ahead to secure your pickup slot.

TL;DR: Come for bomb pizza, stay for the fun vibes!…read more Great pies being pumped out of Petramale's pizza oven in the church lot. Service is so friendly you immediately feel like family when you walk up. Yes, there is a slight wait for your order but time flies watching the well-oiled machine - from shaping the dough to shuffling pies in the oven, the team at Petramale really thought of all the details. Best part, there's seating, and live entertainment in the form of music and a basketball hoop on a truck for the whole family to enjoy We'll be back - wish I could've got a Petramale jersey for merch. Those jerseys are so cool!! Cheers, Petramale!

I have lived in LA for 33 years and I miss New York Pizza even more than I miss New York Bagels!…read more So imagine my surprise when I was invited to lunch in Venice at a little place named "Abbott's Pizza". That place has been around for almost as long as I have lived here and, well, maybe it should not have survived Pandemic? That might have been a mercy killing. But then ... a tech guy from New Haven, Connecticut came in and bought the old restaurant from the original owner and ... wow! What a difference! The pizzas are totally different now and so much better! Think "Mystic Pizza" more than "CPK" and you will see what I mean (check out my pictures for the details)! My surprise has turned into sheer delight! The pizza dough is now a 48-hour sourdough and it is incredibly tasty!!! They have about a dozen different kinds of toppings on the slices and so many of them are terrific! I do not eat meat on my pizza, but my friend just raved about how good was the sausage pizza! Personally, I was torn between the Plain Mootz (yummy tomato and cheese with a great flop; delicious sauce; tangy tomatoes; pure delight!) and the BBQ Chicken with savory sauce and tasty chunks of chicken! Two winners for sure! For those of you who want to eat more healthy, the new owner has kept the Salad Pizza -- and has improved upon the avocado by whipping it with lemon juice so it stays bright green and does not get oxidized and turn brown from the air. The best news of all is that the new owner, JD, is renovating and updating the shop, putting in new, more comfortable seating, and has hugely upgraded the beverage selection! LilGuy will be the new name soon, and this is sure to become a hot spot on Abbot Kinney Blvd., even without "Abbott's" in the name! Fantastic New Haven style pizza; crunchy, chewy, perfectly cooked dough with a great mouth feel; friendly staff; comfortable seating; and very affordable prices. The Lil Guy is sure to be a winner! I look forward to going back next week and trying the rest of the menu! I hope to see you there!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love Abbot's!…read more Abbot's has been an Abbot Kinney neighborhood favorite since the '90s, and after meeting new owner Jay today, I'm even more excited about what's ahead. Jay actually lives in the neighborhood, genuinely cares about Abbot's and couldn't have been nicer. He has plans for the upcoming redesign and--WOW. This little Venice pizza shop is about to get a seriously beautiful makeover while still keeping the personality that made people love it in the first place. And let's talk ingredients. They're using quality products including Grande Cheese and Ezzo meats, and you can taste it. The BBQ Chicken Pizza remains one of my favorites anywhere--whole-milk mozzarella, BBQ chicken, smoky Gouda, red and green onions and just the right amount of BBQ sauce on that fantastic everything-bagel crust. And where else are you getting a Salad Pizza like this? Mozzarella and ricotta are baked on the everything-bagel crust, then topped with greens, tomatoes, onion, feta, lemon vinaigrette, Parmesan and whipped avocado. It sounds crazy. It works. Abbot's will always be one of the best pizzas in LA. New owner, new energy, beautiful changes coming--and some seriously good pizza. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Food was really good, tried three different pizzas and tiramisu. Pizzas were all really good, tiramisu was spectacular and likely the best thing I ate. My only gripe is the margharita pizza gets soggy at the bottom from the sauce. The pizza crust itself was delicious though and is clear they use very good ingredients. The place is as but small but is fun to be able to watch the cooks prepare the food. Spent some time talking to Will, he's the best. Made the experience so much better talking about local pizza spots. Will definitely return.

Hailed as the second-best pizzeria by the 50 Top Pizza USA list, I put Pizzeria Sei on my list as a…read moremust-try during my latest trip to Los Angeles. However, I left disappointed with my visit, especially after trying several other pizza restaurants on this list that absolutely lived up to the hype. Sei is in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood, unassumingly sitting on the corner of the block. The restaurant is very small. It features a bar that surrounds the kitchen area, along with a few tables. They accept reservations and walk-ins, and they also seem to do a lot of takeout orders. Not being able to make a reservation for three, we decided to get there early on a weekday to grab a seat. We waited about ten minutes for three seats at the bar. The menu has plenty of options, featuring both classics and more unique pizzas. We ordered one pizza per person with the intention of sharing all three, and went for a mix of classic and fusion, opting for the Margherita, Ruti's Pizza, and Mala Lamb Sausage. It took about 20 to 25 minutes for the pizza to arrive at our table. Visually, the pizzas all looked amazing. The crust was really puffy with plenty of color contrast on the plate. Upon picking up my first slice, I immediately noted the floppiness of the pizza. The center of the pizza collapsed, causing some ingredients to fall off. This carried into my thoughts on the texture of the crust. In the Margherita especially, the bites towards the middle of the pizza were really soggy. The texture was borderline unpleasant. Maybe it had to do with the amount of sauce they used, but I found that the Margherita was the only pizza we ordered that was really problematic in this aspect. And while the Ruti's and Mala Lamb pizzas were still floppy in the middle, they weren't as soggy. Despite this, it was clear to me that Pizzeria Sei cared a lot about their ingredients. The natural flavors of each component in every pizza shone beautifully. The tomato sauce had a really nice, sweet, and tangy flavor, and all the herbs were aromatic and flavorful. I found the Mala Lamb Sausage pizza to be the best. The flavor profile was well-balanced and unique in addition to the crust being the best. As I ate closer to the edge of the pizza towards the crust, the texture improved drastically. The crust itself had a light crunch but was overall very chewy, and it was finished with high-quality olive oil. Combined, these drastically improved the pizza. Was Sei the second-best pizza in the US? For me, it definitely wasn't. However, they offer a unique crust style hard to find elsewhere in the US, along with creative dishes that make Pizzeria Sei worth a visit. If I were to go again, I wouldn't order all of the pizzas at the same time. From the second the pizzas hit our table, they grew soggier, and as they cooled, all of the pizzas were mediocre. I understand that this style of pizza is required to be eaten immediately, but it is also something to note and plan for.

On my way, I was stopped abruptly by an employee and questioned if I had bought anything. I said yes, and only then did he unblock my path and proceed to let me use the restroom. The only reason this interaction peeves me slightly is that I'm 8.5 months pregnant and visibly showing. I get that they only want customers to have access to the bathroom. That's a pretty standard rule across the board. But even if I hadn't bought something yet, would it really hurt this establishment that much to let a heavily pregnant person use the bathroom once? Just a thought. The pizza was pretty good.

Little Dynamite really IS dynamite!…read more This is primarily a takeout spot, although there are two tables out front and a small counter inside. Manager Kyle couldn't have been nicer or friendlier. Now, the pizza. THAT CRUST! They roll cheese right into the dough, so when it bakes, the crust gets crunchy, crispy and cheesy. You don't see that every day, and honestly, it's one of the best pizza crusts I've ever had. We tried the bacon and leek special, the pepperoni and the plain cheese, and all three were outstanding. Sometimes a plain cheese pizza is the best test because there's nowhere for mediocre pizza to hide--and this one didn't need to hide from anything.They also have garlic knots, which I'm definitely trying next time, plus soft drinks. Little Dynamite may be small, but the pizza is seriously mighty. I absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back.

Despite having three types of pepperoni, this does not mean the pizza is going to be covered head to toe with pepperoni slices. The tomato sauce was the best indicator that we were eating a fresh pizza. The crust was crunchy and the cheese had a nice pull. A lot of oil pooled on the bottom which was the only downside. However, I would come back again to try the other pizzas. Note: Market Pizza is located in a back patio surrounded by Jackson Place (apartments for rent) and Jackson Market (historic neighborhood cafe and deli). Follow map directions - you'll second guess yourself at first if you park on the main street because Market Pizza and Jackson Market are part of the neighborhood itself and are not surrounded by your typical commercial businesses. It's a soothing environment for brunch with draping vegetation and cute furniture. Beware of flies during daytime. The store itself only had two people working (one person mostly taking orders and one person mostly cooking) so it took a while to make the pizza because the wood fired oven isn't necessarily humongous and there were several people who had ordered before us. No buzzer so if you decide to wander around or if your table is out of earshot, you'll have to check in as they verbally call orders. I had no idea when my order was coming up but they were friendly about me checking in whenever I walked up.
