    Outdoor seating
    Max S.

    Lunada Kitchen is adjacent to Lunada Market. There's the market and then there's the restaurant. It's fairly new, and I didn't even notice when it opened. It's predominantly outdoor, covered seating with overhead heaters. There are a handful of stool seating indoors. I've come here twice thus far. You order and pay at the counter. They give you a number, and you seat yourself. The first time I came here, I ordered the fruit waffle. They were out of strawberries, and let me know, but because there were blueberries cooked in the waffles, there were plenty of berries. It was crisp and delicious. On my second visit, I ordered the breakfast burrito, vegetarian, no meat. It comes with a side of tortilla chips with a dollop of guacamole and salsa. It's mostly filled with potatoes, so it's very filling, but tasty. I like to order the oat milk latte. Even if you're dining in, it's served in a paper cup. I like the modern atmosphere, with the wall of mirrors. So far, all the food has been delicious. The bakery items look really good, too. Staff are friendly and efficient. Parking: Free, shared lot.

    Luanda Kitchen is this great café located right off of Palos Verdes Drive West in PV. What they offer is a really interesting collection of not only great bakery items, if you want to get something on the go, or fully prepared breakfast and lunch dishes. The food here is really well prepared and it's very good. They also offer all of the drinks one would expect: coffees, lattes, soft drinks, waters, and the like. This place has outdoor seating. They have a large patio space with a number of table. So, as long as the weather is good, this is a fun place to sit back and enjoy your food or drink. The way this place works is that you go inside to order. The staff here are happy to bring out some water to your table if your plan to sit back and enjoy the air. Overall, the staff here are all very good, very helpful, and very nice. The one thing I will say about this restaurant that I would prefer that he did a different way is that if you're actually going to enjoy your meal at one of their outdoor tables, they provide all of their customers with drinks in a paper travel cup. I don't know? That just kind of takes the whole vibe of enjoying a tasty latte away from the drinking experience. I really believe they should provide their customers that are eating at the restaurant with their drinks in a mug. But, that's just me. Overall, this café is a great addition to PV. Great place to grab a snack, a meal, a drink, and/or to sit back and enjoy the day.

    Cafe Mocha
    Charne I.

    I love love love the cafe! Hannah and Diane hooked me up with what exactly I had a taste for. It's not on the menu, but I wanted a cafe mocha to get through the day and they were both so kind and made it happen. I come in once a week for this delicious pick me up. They also have a cute outside terrace where you can sit and eat and drink. Im looking forward to trying the food. I'm so happy I found this place and you will be too!

    Ahi tuna tartar

    This place is a cute spot in Palos Verdes. You order at a counter and they deliver the food to your later. It was pretty quick service. The ahi tuna tartar was delicious and the sauce was the best! Just wish there was more wonton crisps. The kid's hot dog was bigger than we thought for a kid's size. It was a nice and pleasant surprise :) the fries were nice and crispy. The sparkling waters were interesting...it didn't taste like the flavor really and the ginger sparkling didn't even have ginger listed in the ingredients

    The good: This is like the Chipotle of pizzas. Your pizza is…read moremade to order and you can point at the ingredients you want on your pizza and watch as they make it. There were tons of meat, veggie and cheese options as well as drizzles and other sauces. Drinks are self-serve as well as utensils. I got a drink (Marion blackberry lemonade), pepperoni pizza and a veggie pizza 6" each for under $30. This is the 2nd Mod Pizza I've been to and the layout is pretty similar in both. I love that the pizza is made to order and you can see them stretch out the dough, add the toppings and pop the pizza in the oven in front of you. The texture of the pizza was just how I liked it. I like the thinner crust. I like how you can fold the pizza without it being floppy and I liked the dough bubbles created inside from when it cooked. Mt veggie pizza had slices of tomato (diced tomato is an option too), roasted corn, red onion and fresh basil. The fresh basil was ::chef's kiss:: magnifique. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, they played music like Weezer. Our order was brought out to our booth for a dine-in experience. They have signature pizza options that are pre-built if you don't want to build your own. They also have different crust options. The workers there were quick. They offer salads and catering as well. The bad: It was kind of cold inside with a/c blowing pretty hard. It isn't cheap. The interesting: My 4 year old finished her entire 6" pizza. They have cookies as dessert too.

    About twenty years ago, restaurants specializing in mass customization of pizzas became a thing. A…read morelot of entrants in the category came and went. MOD Pizza (as a brand) is a survivor. I have never eaten at this location before; if I had a previous experience with the brand, it has been more than 15 years. I think this brand's differentiator is that you can choose an unlimited combination of toppings. On this occasion, I ordered a "mini pizza" with one topping ($11.09) and a fountain drink ($3.59). With tax, my ticket was $16.11, before gratuity. The pepperoni mini-pizza is sized for an individual and is sliced into four pieces. I asked for them to prepare it "house style". The positive is that the crust was very thin; and it was crisp. The amount of sauce was appropriate; and if you like a sauce that has a bit of "tang" to it, then you'll be pleased. But for a place that allows unlimited application of toppings, I felt the amount of pepperoni applied to this pie was spare. And herein lies the conflict: For what I received, I feel the pizza was overpriced. If there is value, it probably happens when you're allowed to choose your toppings. At the same time, the crust is very thin; I don't see how much the foundation can support if topped excessively. The in-store seating is clean and reasonably comfortable. The service was better than ok.

The São Paulo side was my favorite. The chicken was flavorful, the corn added a nice touch of sweetness, and the creamy catupiry brought everything together perfectly. The Calabresa side was also really good, with tasty sausage and onions. Everything tasted fresh, and the crust was thin and soft. What really made the experience stand out was the owner. He is actually from Brazil and was incredibly kind and welcoming, and you could tell he genuinely cares about his food and his customers. That kind of personal touch makes a big difference. The vibe is casual and relaxed, and between the great food and the amazing service, it is definitely a place I would come back to. If you are looking to try something new and different, I highly recommend it.

What really sets Sampas apart is the dough. The crust is perfect, not too thin, not doughy, just right every time. The kids always stick with a classic cheese and love it. My wife and I usually go for the funghi al tartufo and add chicken, which is solid every single time. Recently tried the Sal Paulo and I'll be honest, when I first saw corn on pizza I wasn't sure about it. But wow, it ended up being one of the best tasting pizzas I've had in a long time. The flavors just work. I also like that you can grab pizza by the slice if you're in the mood to try something new without committing to a whole pie. Staff is always welcoming and friendly, which makes the experience even better. Nothing but good things to say about this place. Highly recommend.

I have had other buffalo chicken pizzas before.. this one does not compare, it towers over every single one I've had. It was absolutely delicious. It disappeared so fast in my house I was like whaaaat the For the combination, it felt bland. It def lacked some seasoning or something it just was not hitting the spot.

I'd come back for their buffalo chicken pizza FOR SURE.
