    Pepperoni pizza extra cheese.

    Food wasn't so great recommend this restaurant for bigger party's pizza topping and chesse fell off of the pizza dough not enough pepperoni on pizza wings were crispy but had no sauce whatsoever we only ate 2 pieces of wings out of 6.. server was nice.

    Some of the best pizza in LA. They add cheese on top of their toppings and it gives your pizza a different but familiar flavor. The house special is a must try! I've been coming here for years and the flavor is still just as great!

    Great food!!! Good for family's and events!!! Food is tastes great and even better wings!!

    Pizza is good, fresh, and affordable! Old school pizza place, it's great for parties you can call them on the phone and they'll deliver you don't have to deal with the apps. I love the plain cheese pizza it's really good but if you're feeling fancy spring for the 4 cheese u won't regret it. The salad is huge and yummy btw a great deal Also FYI they were the original pizza Buona in Echo Park but the hipster spot Cosa Buona down the street stole their name when they got the building after these guys were pushed out.

    Cheese pizza!

    Amazing food, hospitable and lightning fast service, ambiance is cozy and ideal to eat great food! Eggplant parm is so damn good! Get the salad with blue cheese! Cheese pizza is classic and delicious. Lots of flavor and amazing service. Thanks to the kitchen and front of house for always taking care of my family. You can always count with our patronage! 10/10

    Thank you for your response and cooperation because next thing you Israel will get is collection letters. I have all necessary information and rest assure this will be my morning priority Israel! Also, for your record- I will post another picture of proof where YOU AS BUSINESS OWNER were notified about service fee( lie number 10). And its not about the $50, its about the integrity you dont share with me! Important Notice: We were recently contacted by Pizza Buona company to provide service for their commercial refrigerator. Our technician promptly responded, arriving quickly for diagnostics and repairs. Upon arrival, he observed another technician from a different company also performing diagnostics on the unit. Before starting the service, the owner was informed of a first visit and diagnostic fee, which he agreed to pay. After the service was completed, we discussed the repair costs and turnaround time. The owner initially agreed to the repair cost but appears to have continued checking with other companies to find a cheaper option. The following day, we received a call informing us that the owner had hired another company to complete the repair and refused to pay our diagnostic fee, dismissing it as "measly money" that we were pursuing. This behavior is highly unprofessional and amounts to scamming. Owners who understand how businesses operate but still refuse to pay for agreed-upon services undermine fair trade practices. After numerous attempts to collect the money- this was the owners response! Stay cautious when dealing with such individuals.

Cocktails are slightly limited as it is not a full bar, but they do have options. The frozen Spritz was very flavorful, more fruit forward and would be perfect in a hot day. The Nonna's Medicine had a nice complexity to it with the flavors peeking their heads out at different times through the process. For food we started with the crudo, mussels and grilled oysters. The crudo was very fresh and had a lot going on with it's simplicity. Just a great bite. The mussels were decent but really didn't stand out in any way. The grilled oysters, however, had flavor and texture, with a Parmesan crust on top and the oyster and juice underneath. Very good! For pizza, they are almost like little personal focaccia pizzas, cut into four slices. We tried the mushroom, pepperoni and white pizzas. The mushroom has a garlic cream sauce and herb mix with Parmesan. You definitely get the mushrooms, as they are ample, but they do not over power the pizza. Just a good blend of flavors in each bite. The white comes with Japanese potato, fennel, mozzarella and pesto. Another really great bite with the potatoes not overpowering everything else. Finally, the pepperoni with spicy honey. The spicy honey is more like spicy marinara honey sauce, but it works. Could have used more of that as it came on the side. The pizza itself, with mozzarella and pecorino tasted great. Maybe that focaccia is the move? Overall, De La Nonna did not disappoint. Everything was very nice, and sitting on the patio when the weather is perfect is always a move. I would say to skip the mussels but, everything else, give it a try!

    I was getting a late lunch with a friend, and decided to try this spot. Initially we were going to…read moretry De La Nonna, but they were closed for a special event and we didn't know when we showed up. In the same vein, we stuck with a similar style of food and ended up at Propaganda. There was little to no wait, which was pleasant. It was a nice day and we decided to eat outside. The focaccia bread and salad came out first, and both were good. I enjoyed the crispiness of the bread, though my only qualms were that the bread was quite oily and the butter and salt were just a tad bit too salty for my liking. The Insalata Mista salad was solid. Good flavor, good dressing-to-salad ratio, and a surprisingly good portion size. As far as pizza goes, the Margherita was good. Tasty, moist, and a nice crunch on the crust. I found it to be enjoyable, though I may have enjoyed more fresh basil on this. I did find it better than the Boscaiola. I got the black truffle honey add on, and it does not go well on this pizza in my opinion. There was virtually no taste of truffle to me, and more of just an aftertaste of oily sweet honey. This was a miss. It's hard to say whether the base pizza was good without it because the flavor profile was just too overpowered by the aftertaste. The Arts District is definitely coming up with new upscale dining establishments, and I'm there for it. I think this is a solid addition. Though this is a wine bar, I don't generally drink, so my review is based purely on the food. Results of their drinks, which is quite an extensive list, may be to your liking! They do have an inexpensive three wine flight, for reference!

My gf and I both loved this and were so glad we ordered it! - Spicy salame calabrese tartufato pizza (4.5/5): The truffle honey in this was very light but we still loved the flavors in this pizza. Overall (5/5): My gf and I love coming for their happy hour. Vibes are nice, service is friendly, and food is great!

Food: - Sicilian: THIS was the winner of the evening! The sauce, mozz, ricotta, and pesto all came together to make a really tasty bite. The edges of the crust were nice and crispy, and you can taste the toasted cheese on the edges of the crust. SO good. We both decided that this was the best flavor of the night. I've had this same pizza at several other spots in LA, but Prime Pizza really executed it well here. So well balanced in textures and flavors, and the crust was both nicely crispy on the edges and fluffy in the center! - Spicy Pep: Solid pizza, and we LOVE when pizza places use cuppy pepperoni. It was a bit spicier than expected, so be prepared to *actually* taste the heat when you order this one! It's tasty and the crust for this one was also banger, but (IMO) pales in comparison to the Sicilian. Would gladly come again for the Sicilian!

Nice name, but when I see menus of any cuisine that go out of their way to offer vegan and gluten free versions of everything, it tends to put me off. I know that's an unfair prejudice, but I always assume it's more of a healthy food place for people who complain about regular food than a real tasty joint. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. Now that I've tried their fantastic pizza, my only sadness is that they are located in DTLA, where finding parking even to run in and pick up things to go is always difficult. So, we were here at first not for the food but because my teen son's death metal band, Institutionalized, was playing a show with the very popular super cool local metal band Diabology. But, hey, if you're there might as well grab something before you leave, right? So We got a cheese pie, which was excellent. Also tried a slice of their white pie, which was garlicky goodness. What really sold us, though, was the Sicilian pie we got. As born and bred New Yorker transplants who have been here a long time, we have never found a fantastic Sicilian. Good, sure, but never great. The pies are never thick enough as far as the breading. Here it was as close as we've ever got. And like the other pizza, the taste was excellent. And, as native New Yorkers, we know our pizza! Strongly recommended! Can't wait to get another Sicilian pie in the near future with some toppings.

    It took me over a year to come back here after they mistakenly gave me a regular pizza instead of…read morevegan. I finally went back and tried one of their vegan pastas I hadn't tried before, and there was meat in it (pancetta). I literally am feeling sick to my stomach--I'm pescatarian + non-dairy and stopped eating meat in 2013 so I'm sure you can imagine. The customer service was amazing and the cashier who helped me, Melissa, was so apologetic and sweet (obviously wasn't her fault), but this is just another warning to anyone who is vegan and considers coming here. I also came when they were about to close and already had to wait like 15min longer than they said so there's not even anything else open this late for me to find other food. Very disappointing and I will not be coming back for good this time. If I could give separate stars for customer service, I would give them 5 stars but this was unacceptable on the cook's part. Do not risk it if you are vegan.
