I had the most beautiful lunch here and I already know this is going to be one of my new go-to spots. the beach views, the atmosphere, everything just feels so calm and elevated. I have to make a shoutout to Jessica, the bartender, because she truly made the experience feel warm& lovely, I had no idea what to order, and her recommendations ended up becoming my new favorite dish. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and just had this amazing vibe and aura that made me want to stay longer. I actually stayed for an extra glass of wine just because of how great the energy was, and I'm already debating coming back for dinner depending on my schedule. Such a lovely spot for a relaxed, beautiful lunch by the beach, I highly recommend! read more

I discovered this former gem earlier this year and became a bit obsessed with their thick-crust pizza. At first, the crust was always extraordinary: crisp, flaky, buttery, beautifully balanced, and somehow substantial without being heavy or 'too doughy'. The tomato sauce was also fantastic, with just the right little bit of tang. I ordered three or four pizzas over the next few months, and every single one was perfect. I was in pizza heaven. Then, weirdly, something changed around April 2026. The next pizza I ordered tasted completely off. The sauce no longer had that bright tang and was way oversalted ...and I am not afraid of salt. The "thick" crust was much thinner, almost half the height of the earlier pies. Instead of that crisp, flaky, buttery texture, it tasted stale and the texture was "Hardcore chewy cardboard" with a faint hint of crunch, like day-old pizza. The dough had lost all of its flavor and balance. There was no yeasty depth, no richness, no magic at all. I was surprised, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was just an off day. A few weeks later, I ordered again. Same issue. After waiting a few months, I gave them one final try tonight. Unfortunately, I got the same result again. Whatever used to make this pizza extraordinary seems to be gone. The enshittification of everything continues. read more

One of the top THREE best pizzas I have ever had in my life; and of those three, I would choose this one every time. (See below for details.) I only seek out pizza approximately once every three to seven (or more) years at this point. Without exception, I inevitably default to avoiding it for extended periods of time. I find most pizza to be broadly disappointing, increasingly cost-prohibitive, and consuming it simply does not feel justifiable in any respect. I am surprised, delighted, and pleased to report that the positive reviews of Pizza Fling are indeed accurate. I rarely leave reviews, as I find them tedious, time-consuming, and exhausting. This is not merely a well-deserved nod to a lovely local business. This contribution is also for anyone who has ever sworn off pizza, for years on end; but WOULD occasionally (or more often) indulge, and/or share the findings with others, IF ONLY there existed an establishment that was actually worth it. This is one such place. I ordered the Regina, with a thin crust; and requested that capers and extra oregano be added. I did find it a bit odd that a small handful of capers cost an extra dollar (next time, I will opt to have my own on hand). I also added red pepper flakes (no charge), for a little heat. Most of the optional toppings available are quite pricey, especially considering this standard (small, 12") pizza cost a whopping $24 (before tax). For this size and type, I would consider $15-17 to be pushing it, but acceptable. With nothing extra added, the current pre-tax 12" pizza prices range from $19 to $28. (Build Your Own and Family Sizing are also available at a range of cost.) Because the order was for pickup, the stracciatella topping came in a separate plastic container, and was kept away from the hot pizza, which meant that everything remained super fresh and tasty. Nothing soggy. Nothing dried out. Everything just right. (Goldilocks would have enjoyed landing on this find.) Once home, I spooned out the creamy goodness, and smeared it evenly across the slices (not pretty, but so yummy). Adding the stracciatella cheese only when ready to consume the pizza, is definitely the way to go; and this is the first time I have been presented with the opportunity to do so. As someone who does not care for thick crusts (or bread/dough in general), the super thin crust was absolutely PERFECT. This authentic Italian pizza had neither too much salt, nor too much oil: both of which are ruinous to a meal. The flavors featured on the Regina are FANTASTIC together. The 12" size (especially with the thin crust) is perfect for one person. For two people, it could be shared with the addition of: soups; appetizers; and/or a fresh, vibrant, beautiful salad (the latter would pair especially well with the Regina). I truly was amazed by the quality of the pizza I received. Every single bite was delicious. The only issue for me was the cost, as it is at least double what I consider to be affordable, or would be willing to pay more often than very occasionally. (I realize how subjective this area is.) At $29 per person, this is certainly a luxury spot that not everyone will be able to try. But if price is not an obstacle, and you are looking for some of THE BEST pizza you have ever encountered, then I highly recommend Pizza Fling. Your tastebuds will not be disappointed. read more

Absolutely incredible pizza they're crust to some of the best crust I've ever tasted and I'm from the east coast and was raised by an Italian stepdad so I know really good pizza and fling is fantastic! read more

First pizza I've tried since my rest of year pizza hiatus and it was quite delectable! The place is part of a cluster of other Restaurants and cafes so it's more of a to go place with the pizzas being similar to the size of a blaze personal. I tried the Regina (pesto, burrata, and open face sauce but I added spicy pep) and Diavolina (spicy pep) which I would highly recommend! Additional toppings are extra so I feel like this is more of a place that's better to get the preset pizza combos! I also tried thin crust vs thick and would recommend thick but again it is an additional cost of $3 :/ which imo should not cost extra. Overall, it tastes very fresh and authentic but is very expensive. read more

Besides a few serious pizzaolos, there's a dearth of good (not fancy, sit down, expensive) pizza on the westside. In this gap, Pizza Fling is a welcome new addition that has earned its place. I saw their IG post and the host recommended a couple options. I was sold on the Regina. Making really good pizza isn't rocket science, but despite the simplicity, it boils down to high quality ingredients (flour, tomato, cheese) and techniques (fermentation, proofing, rolling, baking) that make a good pizza great. Pizza fling imports all their ingredients from Italy, think San Marzano tomato, or Italian 00 flour. Also, when you make really thin crust pizza, you cannot hide behind the dough. Your dough needs to be a perfect bake, while shining a spotlight on the caramelized ingredients. You want the mouthfeel and a slight char, without burning the cheese. The Regina (meaning Queen) is indeed worthy of pizza royalty, with Tomato Sauce, San Marzano Cherry Tomato Confit, Oregano, Stracciatella, Basil. This is a heavenly bite. Crispy dough, with the sweet sourness of the san Marzano tomato confit that puts the word umami to shame, balancing the acidity with the Stracciatella (mozzarella with cream) and the herbiness of some generous basil to cut through the umami. This pizza was a masterpiece, and it tasted even better the next day. The host recommended (re)baking it at a lower temperature (300) considering the creamy cheese for 2-3 minutes. I'm not sure I care as much about the pink boxes and branding, which goes into recycle within minutes, but it shows they truly care about the experience. Overall, a top 3 pizza experience on the westside that won't break the bank or disappoint. Welcome Pizza Fling, I think our relationship will be more than a fling. read more

This is a solid pizza spot that just opened on Berkeley St! The pizza is really good, seems very fresh compared to some other spots. As I live in the neighborhood, I always like to check out new spots and this is a great addition! The folks there are truly Italian and are so friendly, they include all of the dressings (chili oil, parm, red pepper) and the vibe is great. It's inside a small new construction strip mall and you'd think there would be a longer wait, but it was quick! Price is on the higher end but they typically have deals through 3rd party apps like Uber Eats. read more

I'm always looking for pizza spots in LA, and glad to find Pizza Fling on a spontaneous day. I loved the Regina pizza with stracciatella cheese. I got the thick crust, which was perfect, crisp yet chewy and tomatoes were fresh with the cheese and basil. Staff were also friendly and gave some spicy oil to add on. Parking was easy behind the food hall. Can't wait to come back for the Regina and try other pizzas too! read more

Pizza Fling!!! Got the Thick-crust Roman style and it hits different. Crunch on the outside. Pillow-soft inside. Zero grease bomb. Zero gimmicks. That crust? Impeccable. Perfect fermentation, clean bite, holds toppings without folding like a sad slice. You can taste the patience no freezer dough, no corner-cutting, no "artisanal" BS excuses. This is the kind of pizza where you stop talking mid-bite like, "EFf yeah... this is serious." Hands down: Best thick-crust / Roman-style pizza I've had. If you know, you know. If you don't --go fix that. read more

Stopped in for coffee next door and decided to grab a pizza for lunch as it was nextdoor. We went with the Regina, which was the perfect lunch portion to share between two people. The pizza was delicious, the creamy stracciatella paired perfectly with the softened tomatoes and fresh basil. They serve it with a little pizza paper so you can eat without getting your hands messy, but I ended up ditching it after a few bites since I kept catching the paper in my mouth. Such a great grab-and-go option! The "food hall" has limited counter seating along the windows, so not so much sit-down restaurant vibes. It was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday afternoon, I'm not sure if the place is new. read more

We've had food from Pizza Fling 3 times now, trying different items on their menu. I have to say we are sort of pizza connoissuers and having had pizza in Napoli... Pizza Fling really hits it! It's our new favorite for sure! read more

This is special pizza. We ordered "thick" dough. It's remarkably good, with a pleasing & unique texture. Looking forward to future orders!

I can't believe this place has been open since last July and I only discovered it today. I just stopped in for a pizza and thought it was delicious. It was flavorful, held up, well, and didn't feel really greasy. Pizza fling is definitely one of my all-time favorite pizza spots. And the lovely Italian woman working behind the counter made it even lovelier. read more

I get the thin crust Diavolina with turkey pepperoni. It is by far the best pizza I have ever had. There are hundreds of combinations you can create and interesting Italian soft drinks to go with. The service is friendly and quick. Highly recommend! read more

The pizza here was really good and the woman who gave us our order was so friendly and helpful! She offered parmesan, chili flakes, chili oil etc. I loved the thin crust Regina pizza with burrata, the cheese was even packaged separately and they provided more than enough. My husband is more of a thick crust person but even he agreed it was really good. Can't wait to come back and try more of their pizzas. read more

Honestly I wanna give 1 star but since the guy has an awesome customer service and he was very sincere with the customers ill give it 3 star. The thin crust is probably the worst pizza Ive ever had. But I think it has a potential because the ingredients was fresh and it was a perfect amount. The thin crust is like eating thin crackers. Would i go back Idk maybe not unless they change that thin crust. read more

Tried a slice of their margherita, while sampling the other restaurants in the plaza. It truly was spot-on! Now I'm scared to go back to see if that was a repeatable experience. Brilliant pizza! read more

Best pizza I've ever had. Pizza around the west side is pretty boring but Pizza Fling breaks the mold with their gourmet ingredients and cooking style. The edges of the pizza are singed but that's on purpose and adds another layer of flavor. I get cherry tomato confit on every pizza I get along with garlic. You just can't go wrong with their perfect tomato sauce, cheese and crust. This is the must have pizza place we needed out here in this monochromatic pizza landscape that is Santa Monica. Thank you Pizza Fling read more

I love this pizza. The Diavolins is amazing if you love pepperoni. I also love the 4 cheese, the Stagioni, and the Mediterranean pizza. The flavors are fresh and delicious. I can't wait to try the rest of their menu. Everyone is helpful, friendly and the service is great. read more

The pizza here is so good! The crust is crisp perfection, the sauce is balanced, and the spicy salami are the kind that curl into little cups - delish! beyond the food, the branding is fun and the team is amazing!

Really enjoyed this place! The food was delicious, service was quick and friendly, and the vibe felt super relaxed.

Pizza Fling more like pizza romance!! I came back as promised & ordered their Margherita on thin crust and oh boy it did not disappoint!! I would like to pay my respects to the owner, Francesco, you are one of the kindest & honest people I have met, especially in the food industry. Not only do you care about your customers, but you go above & beyond for them :) Now that's true customer service, served with a smile!! Lastly, I didn't mention this before because I wanted to make sure it was legit...I have stomach issues & this pizza doesn't ignite them which is rare for pizza so this leads me to believe that the ingredients are of the highest quality & that makes for a very happy customer!! Thank you for everything!! See you next time ;) read more

Service was GREAT! Everyone was so happy and friendly!! Pizza was just okay. The toppings have really good flavor but the crust is too delicate for the weight and moisture. Ours were very floppy and soggy. Had to eat some with a fork/knife. We are optomistic they can imporve. Thanks! read more

Underwhelming for the price. Prefer Petramale, GTA, Prime Pizza or heck even Round Table!

I was at this building trying some Vietnamese inspired Banh Mi sandwiches from Tran Cafe when this enthusiastic man (probably the owner) was handing out free thin crust pizza slices from employees who were still training. Some great pizza that's simple and delicious. Even though the business has not officially opened yet, I wanted to be the first to say that this pizza is pretty good. I hope I get the ball rolling, so people can be aware of it and add it to their list to try out when this establishment finally does open its doors to the public. read more

Pizza Fling was amazing! We ordered the Diavolina, and it was packed with flavor -- crispy crust, melty cheese, and the perfect touch of spice. Highly recommend! read more

This is the real deal! If you are a pizza person, this is top notch, especially in LA. The flavors are insane and the ingredients are fresh. You can do thin or thick crust. I'm a thin crust person and theirs is awesome, but the thick is something like I've never tasted. The dough is light and airy but has a next level crunch. It's apparently "Romana" style. Not wet like Neapolitan. Crispier, lighter and more fresh than New York, but still the right amount of cheese, sauce, and doughiness. The craziest and possibly most appealing thing is that you don't feel heavy and weighed down after eating it. It tastes better AND you feel better. Shouts out to Italian ingredients, I guess. Ultimately, it all comes down to taste and this changes things in LA. read more

Best pizza I've had in Santa Monica. I did Postmates my gal was so nice My new pizza in my town. I've gone to the store and had a slice. Knew when I had that I was hooked. Thank you Pizza Fling. read more

If you're a true pizza lover, this place is an absolute must-visit. One of the standout features here is the dough. Whether you prefer thin crust or thick, they've truly mastered both styles. I went yesterday and got the Regina (thick crust) and the 4 stagioni (thin )and they were both absolute perfection. The place concept is also brilliant! Last but not least: The service is excellent--friendly, helpful, and passionate about their food. They're happy to explain the differences in crust or help you choose the perfect pizza based on your preferences. Easily one of the best pizza spots I've ever been to! Highly recommend! read more
