    Ziploc and frozen to show the proof
    M Marlene G.

    Absolutely the worst customer service I've experienced in a long time. The gentleman who took our order was rude from the start. Rather than make a scene in the restaurant, my wife and I chose to contact customer service by email, hoping they would simply make things right. Instead, they responded by accusing us of eating the entire pizza. That statement is completely false. We still had the pizza, and three days later we still have it. We also kept every email. To make matters worse, the assumptions made about my wife and me left us feeling singled out and unfairly judged. If this is how they treat paying customers, especially when they try to resolve an issue respectfully, that's unacceptable. Thank you for putting your response in writing--it speaks for itself. I'll be posting the emails along with a video of the pizza so people can decide for themselves. Spend your money where customers are treated with honesty and respect. New York pizza is with cheese not burnt. in my video I'm not completely noting it. I'm just saying that it's burnt and hardly any cheese. We just wanted to have management replace it but instead we got insulted, false accusations

    At home. We had 2 slices and give a homeless guy one.

    #sonnyspizza #lafoodreview #hiddengem #pizza #viralFood. very poor customer service gentleman that took our order was very rude. We reached out to customer service by email cause we did not wanna make a scene. I have an email him discriminating and lying on me and my wife saying that we ate the whole pizza, not only discriminating my race, but also discriminating my size we reached out to them to correct the pizza for us as all which I still have after the third day I will post a video of that would poor customer service like that be careful and thank you for the email Cause it proves that you're discriminating me and my wife. He left me no choice me and my wife reached out very nicely to them to have them remake our pizza. It was that big a deal for them that this is happening very poor customer service very discriminating employees DE° and I'd like to think the person that emailed us the * discriminating and giving a false statement about my disability and my wife's clearly saying something we did not do here goes the proof in photos. I will keep the pizza in the freezer for proof.

    This review is specifically about the cheesesteak and the experience of the shop as I have not tried the pizza yet. From what I saw it looks fantastic though. I stopped in around 12:30PM on a Sunday. Walked in to about 20 other people waiting for their food. Just a bit more chaotic than it probably needed to be overall, but it's a pizza shop so it's understandable. The cheesesteak itself is probably the best rendition of a modern Philly cheesesteak I've had in LA. Meat is tender and well seasoned. Plenty of melted american cheese. The seeded roll was light, airy and one of the best I've had in my 18 years in LA. With all that said, I've got some constructive criticism. Number one is it's too small for $24. I was expecting a full size Philly cheesesteak for that price and was done each half in only a few bites. Second, I think they are using jalapeños instead of long hots on the sandwich. They're tasty, but not the flavor profile I was looking for. All in all, probably the best tasting cheesesteak in Los Angeles right now. I'd eat it any time it's offered to me, but at $24 for the small portion, it'll be more of a luxury item than a casual lunch type of thing for me.

    Cheesesteak

    The place might have been popular for their pizza, but it was their cheesesteaks that brought me there. Placing my online pre-order ahead to avoid the wait. With the extra service fee, it's more on the high-end of the price tag, especially it's not a sit-down dining experience. Nonetheless, when we got our hands on the cheesesteaks, we got the reason why, seeing how abundantly stuffed they were! Delectable peppery beef slices stuffed in crunchy sesame rolls. It's pretty spicy if your tolerance level was relatively low, but for us who loved spicy food, we're so delighted! In case you wonder if you could enjoy your meals on the spot, yes but they're standing tables only.

    Battle of The Wagyu Beef sandwiches is done! Sonny's is by far the best tasting sandwich. The use of jalapenos instead of bell peppers is the best. This adds a kick that you never knew you needed. The portion and taste is better than most at the same price point. Restaurant was busy . Staff was friendly. Restroom and restaurant was very clean.

    We ordered the pepperoni and jalapeño pizza at Sonny's, and it was a well executed New York style pie. The dough had a great texture, the sauce was flavorful without overpowering the toppings, and everything came together really well. A solid option if you're looking for quality New York style pizza in LA.

    This was my first time trying Sonny's and I ordered on Uber Eats so I can't attest to the ambiance, but the service was pretty fast and the food was still warm! I got the new Wagyu cheesesteak. My favorite things about it was that it was pretty spicy because there's chopped jalapeños in there and I love spicy food so that was nice to have on the cheesecake! It was also decently cheesy which was nice! But I gave it 4 stars because I'm from the East Coast and it didn't quite hit like an East Coast cheesesteak, but it wasn't bad at all and worth trying if you enjoy wagyu! It was definitely filling though & I'd definitely go back to try their different pizzas etc

    Waiting over 25 minutes for my sandwich.

    Put in an order for a cheesesteak pick up that was supposed to be ready at 12:54 pm and I wasn't given my order until 1:20 pm. Staff seemed extremely overwhelmed. Sandwich was really good but definitely not worth the wait and hassle, especially for $29. One and done for me.

    Jalapeño pep slice with burrata

    The jalapeño pizza was sooo yummy! Not great seating so by the time we got the pizza home it wasn't as warm as we'd hoped. But this is a solid take on a New Jersey slice. Crust was a littleeee burnt but the favor was wonderful and I'm def coming back! Note: cannot buy by the slice... it was about $40 for the pizza and we added burratta taking our total to closer to $50. 2 slices were plenty for moderately hungry humans but I can see 3 being a solid portion.

    Starting off, nice spot. Very chill interior, lowly lit nice place to talk. Parking is bad per usual in la. Cashier was chill. As for the pizza itself, it was solid. It had great texture and crunch all around, very good ingredients as well. That being said, I think the sauce was prominent and stood out but the other ingredients were not as strong. I would have liked more cheese and I didn't really enjoy the pepperoni. They were flat and didn't add much flavor to the pizza as I would have hoped. Definitely not burnt but slightly over cooked as well. Burrata was a good touch, would have liked more for what we payed for. Solid taste was almost a 4, but giving a 3 because probably wouldn't go again compared to some other spots in the area in terms of taste. I also don't know another place that charges 18% for tax as well

    Got a Pepperoni Jalapeño Pizza & a Hat.
    Amy N.

    I feel bad for anyone who didn't get that solid undercarriage on their pizza because my pepperoni jalapeño was fire. Sonny's was a little dark inside, but still a whole vibe, I was low-key ready to ask for the playlist because whoever had aux knew what they were doing. Not sure if the counters are meant for dining, but there's seating there, plus standing bar tables for anyone staying to eat. Back to my pepperoni jalapeño pizza! I loved it. The wait was a little longer than expected, but it gave me time to snag a hat for my husband, so no complaints. The crust was perfect, the flavor was on point, and that sprinkle of basil on top? Ughh I love basil (lol) so it was perfect. We love pizza, and this easily ranks up there with our favorites.

    I've been hearing a lot of buzz about Sonny's lately and finally had the chance to check it out. It did not disappoint! I walked in around lunchtime and was able to grab a seat at the counter definitely the best seat in the house. It was great watching them prep and fire the pizzas right in front of me. I ordered a pepperoni and jalapeño (held the hot honey since it's not my thing) and it was out of the oven in less than 20 minutes. First off, these pizzas are huge. The pepperoni was curled and charred perfectly, and the fresh jalapeños added a great kick. Oh and a side of fresh basil ties it all together. This is easily some of the best East Coast style pizza I've had in a long time. Well done, Sonny's. Do yourself a favor and grab a pie from here. You're welcome!

    Look at the perfect pizza pie!

    So I've had all the bomb spots in NYC and New Haven, this our bomb spot IN LA! If you're looking for a true rendition of some east coast pies this is the spot. No parking lots, and very little seating is the secret sauce to a good pizza in LA. I saw this place on IG and I let them do its thing onto convincing me that I should try this place and it was far from perfect. It's was and ima say it, possibly the best pizza I have ever had in Los Angeles. I won't name drop the other 1-2 contenders but this was God tier! There I said it. GOD TIER PIZZA! So just need to mention every eatery that is doing extremely well will have lines and lots of wait. So be patient. You will have your pie soon! Order online or in person but buyer beware! Expect to wait. Even though my pizza said it will be ready at 2:15 I didn't leave until about 3. Patience is a virtue. 35 bucks later and a pizza box the size of Texas had me on my way home to share with my wife and some family. The size of the slice is HUGE. Real east coast style pizza I tell ya! Good flavor, perfect ratio of cheese, pep, sauce and crust. Amazing pizza won't let you down the slightest bit.

    Dough was sad. Toppings were ok , meets expectation . Burrata was super good

The melty cheesy, flavorful sauce and toppings against the crispy crust made it super delicious. The downside is the pizza gets cold by the time you eat a second slice and you just crave experiencing what you had earlier. It is a bit difficult to have an intimate private conversation because the acoustics of the room made the music and conversations around echo. But if you're looking for the louder party vibe it's great! Super friendly staff as well, would recommend if you're in the arts district.

    Okay, so I know I've driven by this place and went to an ice cream museum pop up back at the end of…read morethe covid fakedemic, but it really wasn't on my radar. 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.
