    Absolutely amazing Sunday lunch at Lizzie Osteria in Redondo Beach minutes from the water. Great setting to relax with the breeze from the beach. Great drink menu with a number of the specialty drinks on the menu created by their bar tender Jose. Made us feel incredibly welcome and visited our table with explanations and suggestions from the menu. I couldn't make up my mind between the Firehouse #1 and the green velvet and he encouraged me to order both. 2 diametrically opposed drinks, both amazing in their own right. Green velvet was used as a chaser for the Firehouse #1. Great food and drinks. Loved the all you can meat pizza. Looking for great food and experience look no farther than. And make sure to connect with their bartender Jose to further enhance your experience. Buon Apettito! Oops . I almost forgot, the Pistachio cake was the cherry on top. Incredible.

    My family surprised me with Father's Day dinner at LoZio Osteria, and what a pleasant find. The space immediately makes an impression. The large open windows let in plenty of air and natural light, creating a bright, relaxed atmosphere. We had a 5:30 reservation and were seated promptly. As a fan of thin-crust, artisan-style pizza, I was especially looking forward to trying LoZio, and it did not disappoint. Our server was low-key, easygoing, and welcoming, offering thoughtful recommendations without ever feeling pushy. To start, we ordered a 0.0 Peroni and an N/A Aperol Spritz. Both were surprisingly good and a nice option for those looking to skip alcohol. For appetizers, we shared Nonna's Meatballs with toasted bread and a Caesar salad. The salad was generously sized and easily enough for the three of us to share. Both were excellent choices. For our mains, we ordered the Ricottina pizza with mozzarella, DOP Parmesan, ricotta, sausage, portobello mushrooms, and fresh thyme, along with the Baciata pizza sandwich stuffed with chicken parmigiana, mozzarella, and red sauce. Both were absolutely delicious. The pizza crust had that perfect balance of crispness and chew that I look for. Service was very good overall. The only small miss was that no hot pepper flakes were brought out with the pizza. We ended up grabbing some from the bar ourselves. That said, everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. One thing to note is that parking can be a bit challenging if you're unfamiliar with the area. We found street parking around the corner without much trouble, but after my review, owner Jay let me know that guests are welcome to use the Beach Life Fitness Boutique parking lot next door, and there is also a small lot behind the restaurant off Pearl Street. Helpful local knowledge for next time. All in all, a wonderful Father's Day dinner and a restaurant we will gladly return to. Great food, welcoming service, and a bright, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended. 5 stars.

    We found this place through the Resy app as we were trying to explore something new. We arrived on a Sunday upon opening, and we were lucky enough to get a table by the al fresco window. Jose was our waiter, and he was exceptional. He thoroughly explained both their food and drink menu, made suggestions based on the house favorites, and was attentive throughout our visit. We took a chance on Jose's recommendations, and tried their cesar salad, mozzarella sticks, margherita pizza, paired with a champagne bottle from the champagne region in France. We were not disappointed! There were no leftovers to take home, and that only means we have to return! Thank you, Jose and team!

    Fantastic pizza, delicious dishes, handcrafted drinks, and the perfect atmosphere to enjoy dinner together. We'd been once before, but we were in the back for an event - we loved the dishes we tried, so we had it on our list to visit the next time we were in town. Our daughter's friend was performing in a high school musical close by so it worked perfectly to stop by LoZio's beforehand. The service was friendly and the atmosphere made you feel like you were invited into their little community. I had my eyes set on a pizza and beer and both absolutely hit the spot. The pizza crust was just right - a bit bubbly and crispy where needed, and the sauce was different than the norm, but in a very good way. The bruschetta kicked us off and the tiramisu and an espresso finished our meal. Hayley of course had to pose with the Tiramisu as it's her favorite. We finished the evening watching Something Rotten, which was incredible btw, but I have to say there was nothing rotten about LoZio's. Looking forward to our next trip out!

    I'm shocked by the high reviews for this place but there are also many lower reviews which make sense... the location of this restaurant is kind of good, near the beach literally across from Veterans Park. There is metered parking outside and the place has lots of seating inside and outside patio. The food is very MEH.... The mozzarella sticks just taste like frozen ones heated up in the oven, Caesar salad was just ok and very overly dressed.... The pomodoro was probably the best thing we ate here but that was also just meh and really didn't need the melted mozzarella on top.... The pizzas were both meh....the margherita was alright and the waitress recommended the ricotta with mushroom one as a best seller but it was so bland and just a mess of mushy ricotta with no taste... The chocolate gelato was decent but the cherry one tasted just like cough medicine... I don't think I'll be going back here...

    I had an amazing dinner at Lozio Osteria in Redondo and I'm already excited to go back! I started with Nonna's meatballs, and wow, these were perfection. Tender, flavorful, and surprisingly light, they had that comforting homemade taste that makes you feel like you're being welcomed into someone's Italian home. Next up was the Ricottina pizza, and it was absolutely outstanding. The mix of mozzarella, DOP Parmesan, ricotta, sausage, and portobello mushrooms, all finished with fresh thyme, created a beautiful balance of rich, savory flavors. Every bite felt thoughtful and elevated without being heavy. To top it all off, the pistachio cake was the perfect dessert ;moist, nutty, and just sweet enough. A perfect finish. One of the highlights of the evening was getting to meet the mastermind behind these dishes, who is from Bari, Italy. You can truly taste the authenticity, passion, and craft in every plate. Lozio Osteria is a gem with exceptional food, warm atmosphere with amazing service and a personal touch that makes the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

    Food is outstanding!!!!!!!! I have never tasted such a fine food from my dad's friend's restaurant!!! Absolute greatness, and my mom says try the lemonchello! The service is kind and friendly. It is also kinda quick! The ambience is a nostalgic Italian atmosphere along with a setting of any great pizza/pasta place.

    Mozzarella Sticks with Marinara, crispy perfection, especially when dunked in rich, tangy marinara.

    My wife has been talking about this spot for a while, one of her friends from Italy has been hyping it up like it's the second coming of Naples, so expectations were properly calibrated. We decided to run it as a Saturday night movie-night takeout play. To their credit, my wife let the person on the phone call an audible and build out a "best of the best" order. Respect. We landed on: Spicy Antonio Pizza - a beautifully blistered crust with that perfect balance of chew and crisp, topped with spicy Italian sausage, chili oil, and just enough heat to wake things up without blowing out your palate. This thing had attitude. Spicy Penne Vodka - creamy, rich vodka sauce with a subtle kick, clinging to perfectly cooked penne. Comfort food with a little edge... exactly what you want on the couch with a good flick. Mozzarella Sticks with Marinara - textbook execution. Golden brown crunch on the outside, molten, stretchy mozzarella on the inside. No shortcuts here--these were dialed in. Bottom line: the food flat-out delivered. Pizza was legit, pasta was strong, and those mozz sticks? Dangerous. Only reason this isn't a full 5-star banger... the total. After tip, we were north of $80 for takeout, which made me do a quick double take. Not a deal-breaker, but worth noting. SMH That said, quality is there, flavors are there, and I get why it's getting buzz. Would I go back? Yeah!!!! "A tavola non si invecchia."

    I've been meaning to try this place for a while and I'm so glad I did. We celebrated my daughter's confirmation there and even though our dinner started on the later side due to the ceremony ending at 8:45, the restaurant couldn't have been more accommodating. Every staff member we encountered was kind and cheerful. The food was delicious (our favorites were the meatballs, super saucy cacio e pepe, and the chicken parm with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus). Our group really enjoyed the pizza as well. The vibes in the main dining room were lively and the back patio, where we had our reservation, was more private and peaceful. This place is a great addition to the neighborhood!

    I walked in on a Friday afternoon during lunch hour. The place was completely empty while two young ladies were at the bar handling glasses and utensils. I approached them, made eye contact and they continued working without acknowledging me. I stood by the bar for a minute or two when one of the young ladies asks if I'm there to pickup. I said I was dining in and she told me to pick where to sit. I took a seat and one of the young ladies came by with a menu and some water; she said she'd be back in a moment to take my order. 10 minutes later, she came back to take my order. I felt my wait was excessive as I was the only customer there. Not sure what made the wait so long. Nonetheless, I placed my order and thankfully everything came out in a nice timely manner. I started with the Nonna's meatballs, which were honestly so delicious! I wish it came with even one bit of bread so I could mop up the sauce with. Next, I dug into the Margherita pizza. The pizza too, was outstanding! I like a little kick with my 'za, so I had to get up and find my own red pepper flakes. I didn't see any Parmesan or oregano to add, so I assume they don't offer it. I ended my meal with the cannoli, which were just average. Overall, I think the food is superb but the service is lacking. Next time, I will order take out.

    Best pizza spot in Redondo beach, hands down. Also, their meatball sandwiches are ridiculous, they use that pizza bread which is amazing!

    Good crust and size pizza. Went there for Yelp event!…read more Cozy place, good neighborhood pizza. Friendly staffs Pizza was good. But I don't think I would go out of my way for it.

Being from Illinois, my…read moresister recommended Union Station Pizza Company because of their deep dish, and I can honestly say it's some of the best deep dish pizza I've had in California. My issue was with my most recent experience. I'm not a fan of the large tomato chunks in the deep dish sauce, so during a previous visit, an employee told me they could substitute their regular pizza sauce. She warned me that it could make the dough soggier, but I accepted that risk, ordered it that way, and the pizza came out perfect. I returned about two weeks later and ordered it exactly the same way. A newer employee told me he had been instructed never to make a deep dish with that sauce because it could affect the dough. I explained that another employee specifically told me to order it this way and that I had already tried it and loved it. I was willing to pay for it and completely accepted the risk, but he still refused to make it. I don't blame the employee because he made it clear that he was new and was simply following the instructions he had been given. My issue is with the inconsistency and how the situation was handled. I ended up leaving with nothing because they refused to make an order they had made for me just two weeks earlier. The pizza itself is great, but this was a very disappointing customer service experience. I have never been to any establishment in my life and been turned away because they couldn't make a very minor adjustment to a food order that I had already previously ordered there.
