They have a great lunch special: salad, lasagna, and unlimited soda for just $18 plus tax. If you work near UCLA Santa Monica and need a break from hospital food, this spot is only about a 10-minute walk from the hospital and is definitely worth checking out. The customer service was excellent, there's plenty of indoor seating, and it was nice enjoying lunch with real plates and cutlery instead of disposable plastic utensils. They also accept Apple Pay, which is always a plus. I'll definitely be back--and next time, I'm adding a slice of pizza to my lunch combo. Great value, generous portions, and hard to beat for the price. read more

Good pizza, but 18 minutes past delivery time, no included utensils / napkins (for the second time), and rang doorbell despite instructions not to (gets pups riled up). Second time ordering. Everything is cold. Again. May be the last. read more

We were in that Saturday-evening-pizza-craving-mood looking for an easy delivery. We've tried a few places in the area and decided to give Santa Monica Pizza Kitchen a shot. The pizzas are huge, so two of us were able to scarf down the pizza with a slice leftover even as we were famished. The classic vegetable pizza was delicious with mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, olives, zucchini & onion. It's a solid choice if you're looking for your typical pizza delivery! read more

The antipasto salad was fire. Loved the mildly tangy dressing and amount of toppings. The portion was huge. The zucchini were delish! The breading on them was the perf amount of crumble vs crunch, and they didn't have that gross oily taste. The ranch had dill in it, which was new to me and so good! Had no idea the salad came with 2 breadsticks, which were super good, too. read more

I was craving cheese pizza and saw this place on the map. I'm a simple gal...I love a thin slice of pizza. It hit the spot and was good. I'd def hit this place up again for another slice. Service was quick and the workers were very pleasant. Atmosphere was chill ... all you really need in a beach-side pizza joint. read more

I stopped by a local pizza place and tried a slice that looked like spinach and cheese--maybe a mix of a couple different cheeses. They warmed it up, and it was pretty thin, crunchy, and overall good, though nothing spectacular. But for what it was, I enjoyed it. The slice was pretty big and cost $5.85. The staff was friendly, and they had a lot more options on the menu but only two options on display when I was there (the cheese and spinach and pepperoni and veggies) which I'm looking forward to trying something else next time. The place was quiet and small but NO restrooms. read more

I ordered through Yelp for pickup. Staff was extremely friendly, the gentleman knew I was headed to the beach afterwards since I asked for a water cup. Very polite. I ordered an Italian sub 10/10, a pizza - it was the basil and mozzarella it was also good - slice thin pizza and wings also very tasty . Overall I'd definitely return For take out, they also have dine in tables. Plenty of street meter parking. read more

Last night was another good experience. We were going to order a whole pie to take home but seeing some fresh slices ready to enjoy we decided to get a table. Marcus the cashier greeted us and brought our slices to our table. He was very friendly and created an overall happy atmosphere for both the customers and the other employees. The slices were good as usual. After so many years coming here we highly recommend it either for takeout or for a pleasant no frills dining experience. read more

Pleasantly surprised with Santa Monica pizza kitchen that I was actually compelled to write a review right after we started eating. I really loved the pizza. We ordered half cheese and half pepperoni/mushroom. It's cooked perfectly and a really nice crunchy crust. The portions on each slice are perfect. The buffalo wings are good, nice and crispy. We ordered buffalo and plain -both very good. The ceasar salad was fresh and crisp! Hands down to the hard working chefs moving at super speed to serve us a nice hot meal. The service was spectacular, Marcus & Ruben were managing the front a couple of cool, hip guys who were very friendly and welcoming. They're not cheap with the condiments, they even offered free fountain drinks to my boys. Overall rating is excellent because food was good and comforting and the vibe here is pretty awesome!!! Highly recommend!!!! read more

Been ordering from here since my teenage years and for sure my favorite pizza in Santa Monica. I love the Italian salad and you can't go wrong with any of the pizzas. I have eaten there and also used delivery, which is quite fast and affordable! read more

Still the best wings in town with well balanced ranch sauce. Always hit right spot. Love the family own atmosphere. Haven't gotten their pizza for a while since last incident. read more

I need to preface this review by stating that I ordered a pizza from this restaurant decades ago. I haven't returned since. -SO- Please note that I have NO IDEA what this place is like today. Back in 1977 it was pretty hard to find a pizzeria in Santa Monica. So I was happy when Santa Monica Pizza opened their doors. I immediately ordered up a pie and was anxious to see what our new neighbor was all about. Now, I was born and raised in Chicago, the home of the greatest pizza in the world. As a result I am a self-admitted Pizza snob.. So I opened the SM Pizza's box and dug in. The God's honest truth was that I thought I was eating cardboard. But please don't let this dissuade you. For all I know this establishment cranks out A+ pies today. read more

Great pizza & friendly staff, thanks for awesome service Ruben! This review needs more characters. Okay we're good now. read more

I have been going to Santa Monica Pizza Kitchen for many years, the staff is always friendly, and the Pizza is GREAT!! Thank you Santa Monica Pizza Kitchen read more

I hate Door Dash & will usually order for pickup. However, there was a game on, so... Sausage Party add mushrooms - do it! Got hot wings & fries for a finicky neighbor. Tasted both. Fortunately, I had a can of soup in the cupboard. That's what finicky gets you. I on the other hand, I got to watch the Dodgers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with excellent wings, very good fries and my favorite pizza. I believe they're family owned too. (I forgot to take a photo & wont disturb you with the crime scene aftermath). read more

Horrible customer service. We had an emergency with a disabled veteran and they wouldn't let him use the restroom. Claimed the City of Santa Monica forbids it. I reminded him that every eatery has a restroom that gets used by customers. read more

Very friendly staff. The chicken parm sandwich was excellent. Perfectly crisp and fresh chicken with marinara and the perfect amount of cheese. The ciabatta bread was fresh and tasted great. Their buffalo wings were hot, crispy and fresh. The spice level was on point. The pizza slices were convenient and they usually have several choices. Small seating area but very welcoming. read more

I swore I wrote a review and posted pictures a couple months ago but it seems to have dispappeared. I have been here twice. I really enjoy the pizza but what really makes me happy is that I can find a Caprese salad that is totally yummy for an affordable prices. The employees were super nice and it was given to me pretty quickly. The first time I sat in the restaurant and it is very clean. My only complete and utter bummer is no bathroom, even for customers. Second time a friend did a to go order run and, again, YUM. So, yes, I will definately be going back. It fulfills my Caprese cravings. read more

The pizza and chicken wings were quite bland, but I did appreciate the thin crust. The salad was average. I do appreciate their quick delivery and affordable prices. read more

The food here is good I had a cheese pizza, was yummy. More on the pricey side and does require a bit longer of a wait time. Nice place to eat in for lunch. Simple decor inside with nice seating read more

Our son just moved into the area, a 10 min walk to this shop. We finished unpacking and came down to check it out. Definitely a keeper location! Awesome pizza, great subs, and the grilled broccoli with olive oil was great! I already know our son is gonna be a frequent customer! Great service too! read more

Love the pizza here, and the antipasto salad is really great too. However like everything else in Santa Monica, prices are crazy. About $30 for a pepperoni medium pizza (six slices and I can polish off the whole thing) and a small salad. $40 if you have it delivered. read more

Easily the best pizza in town! This is my go to whenever I'm craving pizza. Never fails and service is always awesome! I keep telling myself that I'll try a sub or pasta next time I'm here but I'm just a sucker for this pizza. Next time for sure I'll try something different... maybe read more

This place is simple and easy. The house pizza is their best pie by far in my opinion. The Pizza is solid and I have Always received nice and friendly service. They usually have a soccer game or baseball game on the television :) Great place to pop in for a slice and great desserts do not sleep on the cheesecake ! read more

They provided a complimentary replacement of the pizza and it was better. I appreciate the customer service.

I like that this spot sells pizzas by the slice. They can heat it up for you, but it does take a few minutes. I ordered the supreme and the pizza bianco slices to go because I was really craving pizza one day, but wanted options -- which I can have when I do slices. It took a few minute for them to warm it up for me, but overall fairly quick. I thought the pizza was decent. The crust was a bit too crispy and thin for my taste. I would have preferred the pizza to have a fluffier crust, but that may be a matter of preference. It's a solid choice if you're looking for slices in the Santa Monica area! read more

Absolutely the worst pizza I've ever had. We were so bamboozled to discover a tasteless pizza. The crust was like cardboard and the flavor was nowhere to be found. How do you expect to remain in business with pizza that is this bad? Do better guys. I suspect a fake yelp profile? read more
