It had a nice crisp edge while still staying soft in the center. The toppings tasted fresh, and everything felt balanced instead of overloaded with cheese or sauce. You can tell some care goes into making the pizzas rather than simply pushing out orders. What I liked most is that it feels like a neighborhood gem -- simple, focused on quality, and delivering exactly what you want when you're craving pizza. Definitely a place I'd order from again, especially for the wood-fired crust alone

The owner actually picked up the phone before they were officially open just to take our order so it would be ready right at opening (huge clutch move since we were on a time crunch). The pizza itself did not disappoint. The pepperoni was perfectly crisp with that classic wood-fired flavor, and the margherita was fresh, simple, and done right. Also, love that these pizzas are not too thick. Just a great all around experience. Definitely coming back.

Gotta support the small business. I would highly recommend it! Really great pizza and honestly better than other pizza I've tasted.

I was super surprised about Hot Tongue Pizzeria. My pizolo friend told me about this spot and said…read moreit's definitely one of the best in L.A. I haven't heard many people talk about it yet but I did see a post on Instagram about it giving a really high rating so I prioritized making sure I came to visit. When I got there it was fairly busy and they had a few pizzas out. We ordered the burrata and the vodka slice. They cooked it and reheated it in the mini oven. As soon as we got our pizza it was piping hot so I let it sit for a little bit. When I finally took a bite of the burrata, that crust is incredible. It's one of the best crusts I've ever tasted. Definitely top-tier crust in Los Angeles. This New York-style pizza is just great. The flavoring is on point and the tomato sauce was delicious. It gets an A++. I don't know why it's not more popular. I need to come back to try the bar-style pizzas that are available on Mondays but I love this place. Highly recommended. I want to gatekeep it but I also want to see it do really well so here's your chance. Make sure to go visit Hot Tongue Pizza. You won't regret it.

You had good pizza, good art on the wall, and a punk rock playlist that was playing the entire time I was there. Fantastic , no complaints. The service is friendly, and no-frills. You just order up at the register and they bring you your pizza. I wish they had ice so you could pour your coke over it but I get they probably don't have the room for it. I had the vodka pizza along with some sausage added. It heated up nice too the next day. They definitely have their own flavor profiles to their pizza which to me is essential in setting yourself apart from other pizza joints. Hot Tongue does it well.

Wow. Just wow…read more Pizzana delivered one of the best dining experiences we've had in Los Angeles. This may very well be the best Neapolitan-style pizza in LA. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and the arugula salad with chicken, and both were outstanding. The chicken deserves special recognition--it was perfectly seasoned, incredibly fresh, and cooked to perfection. Chicken breast is often dry, but this was surprisingly juicy and flavorful. The salad itself was super fresh, and the nuts paired beautifully with the lemon dressing, which may be one of the best salad dressings I've ever had. Honestly, we'd come back just for the salad. As for the pizza, it was exceptional. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the dough was absolutely incredible--light, airy, and perfectly textured. Every bite reminded us why Pizzana has such a strong reputation. It's an absolute must-try. The service made the experience even better. Our waitress, Niko, was fantastic. She was warm, welcoming, and took the time to explain every dish and answer all of our questions. To top it off, she surprised us with complimentary ice cream, which was such a thoughtful touch. The wine was also excellent. I enjoyed the Fèlsina Chianti from Tuscany, with beautiful notes of wild berries, black currant, and rose petal that paired wonderfully with the meal. From the food to the wine to the service, everything was outstanding. We left already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended.

It was a little awkward walking in and just standing there for a few minutes until someone noticed us because there's not really a host stand. In the Resy notes, I noted it was for a birthday and requested a nice table, but we were given a side table right next to the kitchen/bathroom instead of a nicer booth table. We eventually moved one table down because it wasn't the best vibe having staff continuously walking back and forth by our table. The drinks were good, Caesar Salad was average, the Vodka Pizza was decent, and the Cacio e Pepe could have used more flavor. I also had to ask if they offered any birthday desserts because it wasn't acknowledged and we were given a scoop of vanilla ice cream which was nice. Overall this place is more of a casual dinner/happy hour spot than a place to celebrate an occasion. Employees were friendly though!

The old…read moretheater on Sunset has been transformed into a pizzeria--one of several reinventions over time--but this latest version seems to be a real hit with locals. It's a great spot to hang out and watch sports, with plenty of tables and TVs throughout. The food is flavorful, and the full bar is a nice bonus. If I still lived nearby, this would definitely be my go-to for happy hour. Their $10 pizza and wings special is a solid deal for the portion size. The staff is friendly and accommodating, which makes the experience even better. The only drawback is parking, which can be a bit of a challenge.

I hadn't sat down, ordered anything, or received any table service. I simply wanted to place a separate to-go order before leaving. One of the servers told me that because I had walked in with the group, they would still charge me a 20% service fee on my to-go order. That honestly made no sense to me. I wasn't dining with the group and wasn't receiving any table service. What made the experience even worse was the way the server spoke to me about it. The attitude was unnecessarily rude and made the whole interaction very unpleasant. Maybe the pizza is good, but after being treated like this, I don't think I'll ever come back. Good food isn't enough to make up for poor customer service.

I think what I appreciate most is that the flavors are simple and you don't feel heavy afterwards. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and great customer service. The first thing you see is someone stretching dough and then all the different kinds of pizza on display. It just feels like what a pizzeria should be. Now the place is small so there isn't a lot of room to sit but if you're looking for a slice to on the go, it's perfect. My only complaint is that I wish the slices were a smidge larger but the awesome flavor makes up for it.

I saw it in passing on dog walks but if you're selling large pizza for five bucks I am definitely not turning you down. Even if you're Little Caesar. Well maybe then. I think they do that as standard. Anyway, got that and the six dollar cheesy bread. No this pizza isn't spectacular but it is solid. Solid crust and toppings for the pepperoni. Hard to screw that up. The cheesy bread is awesome. They dust the top with more cheese I do believe, in the form of parmesan, and it's all crusty and burnt. The debate continues regarding corner versus interior slice but both just made me hungrier somehow. In a good way. I think the deep dish is the same crust. If it is I'd vouch for that too. Just get that honestly. One of those is like a fat-person personal pizza. Oh and good service even though I couldn't place a phone order because they were off the hook in more ways than one this weekend.
