This is gonna be one of the nicest places to sit down and relax. I'm enjoying the morning TV and I'm having a nice couple of slices Sicilian style of pepperoni pizza. I love the outdoor seating. I love all the options. The sandwiches are incredibly I'm gonna have to try them this place offers a lot and it's very comfortable to sit in. I love the pepperoni pizza. I didn't even take 10 minutes and I was in absolute heaven ordered the crushed peppers and Parmesan cheese. You will love it. read more

always consistent quality, simple and satisfying, my goto place for a quick bite around here

Excellent pizza. We have been going there for years. Easy take-out. Orders filled fast. Fair prices.

My first time Palos Verdes, and I to Raffaello's with my five-year-old because he wanted spaghetti. It tasted great! We were definitely not disappointed. There were two women who helped us, and they were both friendly, timely, and helpful. So glad I found this gem. If I ever visit PV again, I'll make sure to stop by again. read more

We have family dinner there all the time. Great food. Amazing service. One of our favorite places!

Pizza Old school pizza place. Favorite of the local high schoolers 1, ambiance You probably want to get the pizza to go. Everyone pretty much does The inside is worn. The pictures are crooked. The tables chipped. The floor covered in crumbs (how do they get an A?). The booths have upright backs. It's exactly what you expect. Don't judge - it's a slice of Americana. Note: no public bathrooms 2, food I only had the pizza: Medium crust pizza, good flavor. Plentiful cheese and they don't scrimp on toppings. If you think of a generic American pizza , this is it. And you either love that style and come here or you go to another establishment for a variation. (Eg Chicago , New York or real Italian ) I'd have to say that this and Pedones are about the same in terms of ambiance and food. Choose one based on your proximity if you want this style of pizza 3,conclusion Non pretentious, owner operated local pizza place in lunada with stereotypical American pizza at good prices. read more

We ordered the meat lovers pizza and it was so delicious. Apparently the cheesecake and other cakes are made in-house. We took home a piece of cheesecake to share and it was excellent. read more

Great pizza and sandwiches. Friendly staff. Really convenient if you are in the area.

Good food, fair prices and great service. I been patronizing Raffaellos for over 30 years!

The food fire the chicken breast sandwich with the mushrooms fire good best service ever super nice family business

Great food and service! We love the pizza and the staff is so kind! Food is quick and always delicious! Very kind and super kid friendly

Raffaello's is our go to place when we are picking up dinner for the beach. Enjoyed the beef ravioli with meatballs tonight - delicious. The Raffaello's sandwich and meatball/sausage sandwich were also a fantastic choice. We share between 3 people and always have leftovers. The people who work there are amazing. Started going on the regular after they provided meals for the families affected by the slide up in Portuguese Bend - was so grateful as my 86 year old mom lives up there alone and really benefitted. What a way to support the local community! read more

I was expecting more due to the magnificent reviews. It's okay food, with okay taste. The place is really small, and it felt really hot inside there (not sure if the a/c was on). Not too many places to sit down and eat around there. read more

Pizza is delicious! Burgers are only so-so. We enjoy the diner feel and the staff is always friendly.

If Raffaellos could make a decent thin crust pizza this would be an absolutely outstanding restaurant in Palos Verdes. Unfortunately they dont. The slices are like a pile of white cheese on barely cooked dough. Cheese falls off the limp slice when picked up. It's as if they need to cook it at least another ten minutes. Other than that, the other food is great, and I truly love the place and the great people that work there. read more

Grew up eating at Raffaello's. Every time I visit this restaurant the staff is amazing. They are friendly and have great customer service. But the best part is their delicious food!!! The food taste the same since I've been coming here. Homemade fresh Pizza! Looks great in here as well brings me back to my childhood love it ! read more

Delicious pizza with a fantastic crust. All the ingredients are fresh and the sauce is not too overpowering.

The cheese is not good ! The prize is okay but the flavor is definitely lacking......: service was okay and we weren't even able to dine in because the chairs were placed on top of the table. read more

I order here pretty often and i can tell they have really nice and tasty pizzas,and very polite employees. Definitely recomend!

Love this place! It's a great go to when looking for a quick pizza. I've been going to this place for years and it never disappoints. Pros - Location - Service - Quality of food - Takeout - Easy parking - Not busy read more

Going downhill unfortunately. They started charging a 4% surcharge for credit/debit which means they are trying to make money on non-cash customers (if they are getting charged more than 3% by their credit card processor than they should go find an alternate). Ordered zucchini stocks that ended up getting burnt zucchini slices. Two times I have added requests for the chicken sandwich and both times they got the order wrong. Not sure what's going or if there are new owners..... read more

Raffaello's Pizza - Zucchini wtf? - Pizza Near Me - Palos Verdes Estates, California

Pizza is really good but rest of the food is horrible . Service is usually friendly it depends who is working I guess . Pasta looks like they just threw things from a can , size are big I guess to make up for the horrible quality. It surprising that they can have bed service when their business is mainly from locals. The neighborhood is nice I guess they have money for nice houses and 0 taste in food . read more

This place allows you to eat to go, or dine in. If you dine in, you order and pay at the counter, and come back for your food when it was ready. I ordered a chicken alfredo penne, dinner portion, since they were out of clams (it was noon on a Saturday.. you are out of clams??). It came with a salad and garlic bread. The downside to order the dinner portion, I had to get up on two occasions.. once to get my salad, and halfway through eating my salad I had to get up again to pick up my actual entree and the garlic bread. I started eating the chicken alfredo penne... They use egg in their alfredo base, but was not beaten in well, as I could see spots that were yellow-orange, like bits of scrambled egg in the sauce. It could have used a little bit more chicken. The one thing I did notice was.. the sauce was very bland. I am not a big salt eater--but the sauce was kinda sweet due to the lack of salt. Towards the end of the meal I realized I hadn't eaten my garlic bread.. and took a bite of the saltiest garlic bread I have ever had. Did they forget to season the sauce and double seasoned the bread instead? I don't understand. I left it. The staff at the counter was very nice, so that is a plus. The torpedo sandwiches and pizza seemed popular to other customers that came in. if I happen to be in the area again, maybe I'll go that route. read more

Looks can be deceiving. Went here TWICE and was DISAPPOINTED BOTH times. The pizza looks like pizza, but does not taste like a pizza!! Choked on a bell pepper the first time I came here, and the dough was so raw in the middle. Don't get me started with the cheese and sauce...I don't know what they put in there but it DOES NOT TASTE GOOD!! Day 2 since I've eaten here and my STOMACH is KILLING ME!!! Also, they let people with NO MASK into the restaurant which I found so DISTURBING and DISGUSTING!! Take your money somewhere else people, better off eating dominos pizza. smh. How hard is it to make a dang pizza!!! Never coming here again. I don't know how ya'll eat this but I feel bad for your stomachs. Ok gotta go, my stomach is churning and my heart is racing #DONTCOMEHERE #TAKEYOURMONEYSOMEWHEREELSE read more

3rd update in 3 years. Other reviews were about pasta. For the first time, I had a burger today. It was delicious! I had read other reviews that mentioned the burger so I decided to try it. Burger, fries & soda for under $10. Wow. Love Raffaello's; love supporting small local businesses. read more

Best pizza!! I love this place! Fresh ingredients and conveniently located. Love supporting small businesses !

You may already know that there are limited restaurant options in Lunada Bay Plaza: it's this place, the sushi place and the French bakery slash cafe. So being the only game in town made me very concerned about receiving poor value here. Unfounded. This appears to be a local place that has been beloved for decades. Sort of like The Appetizer for PVE. I tried a small Spicy Chicken sandwich. With a large iced tea and tax my total was almost exactly $10. So pretty reasonable in a location where you wouldn't expect that. The sandwich was warm and tasty. The most critical element of a proper Italian sandwich is the roll, and I'm pleased to report that these have the proper flaky outside chewy inside properties that aficionados crave. I expect they may be from Buscemi's Bakery, who supplies better sandwich shops. Really looking forward to trying the actual pizza next time...kicking myself for not getting a slice! read more

So we ordered a pizza and a pasta dish. Honestly gotta say the pizza tasted like a really bad bowling alley pizza (cardboard) very dry no sauce. The pasta was too creamy and soggy. First time ordering from here. Hopefully someone else gets better food. read more

This is hands down the BEST RESTAURANT EVERRR! Raffaello's food is delicious, my absolute favorite is their chili cheese fries ! The way the cheese melts in your mouth and all the flavors combine in one. So far I've tried almost every item on the menu and NOT ONE DISH DISAPPOINTS !!! It makes me so happy they're still up and running during this pandemic, and a huge thank you to the workers there that always polite, whether that be on the phone, in person, or through delivery. I will never stop coming here. Thank you Raffaelos for always serving amazing food. I will post more photos of each dish I try ;) read more

Raffaello's Pizza - Chilli cheese fries !!!! - Pizza Near Me - Palos Verdes Estates, California

Last night I called to order a pizza and kindly asked the man to make sure there are toppings over the whole pizza because in the past we have had deliveries in which the pizza didn't have enough toppings, like a meat lovers looked like a pepperoni pizza or the above photo which was a mushroom pizza. I was told flat out that I WAS WRONG because he makes the pizza and that he piles on the toppings all over the pizza. He continued to insist that I AM WRONG. Ok so I hung up and will never order from Rafaellos again. Would you want to eat the pizza above and feel like you got your money's worth?!? Unbelievable. No customer service and the man was rude and offensive. We all make mistakes but not this guy. read more

Placed a Postmates order and the food wasn't tamper proofed. The chicken fettuccine was okay but the fried zucchini was totally burnt and way too salty, almost like they hadn't changed the oil it was fried in in a very long time. Too many strikes for me to order from them again. What a bummer. read more
