Hello Sandra, help me and she's amazing. She remembered me I would come and visit a long time ago. Many many years ago and she remembered me. The only thing is the AC very hot in the store. Very very hot. I actually had to get my food to go.

Our family had a great experience with Lucia. She attended to us with great care. My son & I picked up dinner for our family and Lucia was such a great help. We will definitely be back to see her and pick up dinner again.

This was my first time at this place. I was looking for a soda and I stumbled across it for the fountain drink drinks and decided to get a slice of pizza. I went with the Hawaiian and it was exactly how I thought it would be tasty and filling. They have other choices which I would be tempted to try next time. This is located in the mall at the food court.

I stopped by LA Italian Kitchen during my lunch break around 2pm and ended up having one of the best calzones I've had in a while. I went for the spinach calzone and it was both filling and seriously delicious crispy on the outside, perfectly cheesy and savory inside, just what I needed to power through the rest of my day. Service was even better than the food. Lucia, who helped me out, was super sweet and made my visit way more fun we even joked around a bit while she took my order. Honestly, she deserves two thumbs up for making the place feel so welcoming. If you're at the Vintage Fair Mall and craving Italian, this spot is worth a stop. I'll definitely be back! read more

History

Established in 1994.

Established in 1994 Founder, Joseph De Santis, was practically born with pizza-making expertise in his blood. He started working in his grandparents pizza chain, Pizza Pete's, at the young age of 9. He became manager by age 16. A true entrepreneur at heart, Joe was soon ready to take what he'd grown up learning and put his own spin on a new quick service restaurant concept... L.A. Italian Kitchen. The first location was born in the Tyler Galleria in Riverside, CA. Now, over 20 years later, and millions of pizzas sold, L.A. Italian Kitchen has expanded to seven different locations across California and Nevada, with plans for more along the way!

Meet the Business Owner: Joseph D.

Founder, Joseph De Santis, was practically born with pizza-making expertise in his blood. His grandparents came to the United States from Italy and started their own pizza stand in Glendale, CA - which grew into a successful chain called Pizza Pete's. Joe started working in the family business at the young age of 9 and was manager by age 16! A true entrepreneur at heart, Joe started his own quick service restaurant concept... L.A. Italian Kitchen, which has grown to seven locations across California and Nevada!

They have live music sometimes with a clever indoor/outdoor stage, which is also a perk. It was a very cozy, comfortable, and safe vibe going there, especially since I was there enjoying my drinks solo. The staff were very friendly despite the crowd and long line, happy to explain their "on tap" selections with only one offering being unavailable that evening. I had a Nitro Stout and then later a Cherry Cheesecake Pie Hard Seltzer, both brewed by them, and both were delicious. The hard seltzer did have all those flavor notes and it wasn't overly chemical sweetened, which I greatly appreciated. And I was so happy to see a darker beer option on their menu as the current trends tend to heavily favor the IPA's.

I highly recommend the chicken and shrimp pad Thai four out of five on the heat scale.

Their customer service is always exemplary! The food is awesome too! It was not too busy when we…read moredined in. There were two or three other tables dining in. A few people had to go and a few GrubHub or DoorDash. Anyway, I really wish they would reconsider opening on the weekends. Even just one. I think it would be awesome. Whenever we went on the weekend in the past they were always packed. I think with the Gallo Center for the Arts being so close, it would drive business in. I shared some photos. We ordered our usual food items.

To start with the food here is incredibly overpriced. When we got there the girl acted like she had better things to do and didn't want to help us. Then she told us that a dish of pasta was $10 we said that was really expensive and she said we could get two sides for a dollar more. We decided to get one meal and share so we got the pasta potatoes and vegetables. When we got to the cashier she charged us for both sides and the pasta. When we told her our server told us it was a dollar more she said that wasn't right. She tried to get the servers attention and was completely ignored and I actually told to leave her alone. Neither one of them knew who was right. When we sat down to eat our food the vegetables were inedible they had so much salt on them, the potatoes were incredibly greasy and the pasta was mediocre. I would never go back here because the stuff is so rude and the food was horrible and overpriced read more

My boyfriend and I always come in. I always get the two pizza combo, and he gets panda express (he doesn't like pizza). The employees are always so nice!! Not only that but I find it a comfortable area to practice my Spanish as most of them speak it. They recognized us most recently and I felt it wad important to write a review. The pizza is great, and whenever I bring friends (most of whom have never had L.A. Italian) they always compliment the pizza! Great service. read more

I had a great experience at this pizza place in the mall! The pizza is always fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The service is just as amazing as the food. Lucia is especially wonderful, she's always so kind, welcoming, and helpful. She really makes you feel appreciated as a customer. Every time I go, she goes above and beyond with a smile. Definitely one of my favorite spots when I'm at the mall. Highly recommend! read more

I really enjoyed my experience at L.A. Italian Kitchen inside the Vintage Fair Mall. I was greeted and helped by Jean. He was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the Lasagna and garlic bread. It was delicious! I must come back to try something different. It all looked so good and the place was very clean. Much better than what I would expect to eat at a mall. read more
