I ate inside, and it felt like sitting in a small, cozy Italian basement alongside other guests, right next to the pizzeria's storage area. IIt made the experience feel especially authentic and charming. I really loved the atmosphere, the warm and relaxed feeling, and of course the pizza. The location is also very close to the ocean, which was the main reason I came to Manhattan Beach. A wonderful place that made my visit even more memorable!!1

Kids wanted pizza after our Manhattan Beach trip…read more This restaurant was the closest and easiest pizza place we could find. To be honest, it is not that bad, but it is also not that great either. It got the job done, and it satisfied the kids' craving for pizza. I had a slice and felt a little nasty afterward but not sick, just bloated and nasty. My kids did not complain, and they ate their pizza with no issues, but I didn't think it was all that. I honestly think I would have been happier with Little Caesars. It wasn't the worst pizza, but I'd choose better options. Hell, I'd pick Chuck E. Cheese over this.

I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Bones at an event a few weeks ago. After a brief discussion away…read morefrom the station, his slightly smug demeanor, blunt attitude, and overall level of confidence in his product left me salivating to try his pizza. When one is a true master at a craft, one must posses a level of confidence well above the average person because without this confidence, execution can be inconsistent. There was no inconsistency here. This pizza was phenomenal. Chef Bones described his pizza as "simple" because as he said, "simple is best." I couldn't agree more. His pizza transported me back to Pompeii outside of the ruins to a little cafe that served me one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. The crust was more than just the crispy watery crust many west coasters drool over because it reminds them of New York crust. No, this crust was light yet flavorful, crispy yet pillowy soft, a perfect bed of starch to soak up the flavors of a perfectly cooked pizza. And if I may add, cooking a pizza perfectly is no easy feat. Underdone and you might be scooping your cheese out of the middle like soup, and if it's over cooked your crust begins to burn as well as all of your delicate ingredients. The sauce was delightful. Sauce in my opinion is the most difficult part to get right. If it's too bitter you're eating Dominos circa 1999, too sweet and you're eating DiGiornos. This sauce was incredibly well balanced and NOT overly seasoned, a very common mistake of many "authentic" Italian restaurants - All aboard the garlic train! - No thank you! Chef Bones makes his cheese from scratch and I'm pretty sure that even a six year old could discern the quality difference between his cheese from other pizzas. To me this was his signature on the pizza. It was so incredibly moist without being overly tangy, and so soft without being too stringy. People say they want to stretch their mozzarella apart and watch the stringy cheese look fresh. Why? I want cheese with all of that flavor that is melt in my mouth soft. This is what his hand made cheese did. The highest marks I can give. Of all the pizzas I've had In the United States, nothing gives me more joy than to say this was in my top 3; nestled with the likes of a perfectly cooked pizza from Pizzeria Mozza and a fresh out of the oven slice of cheese from Ben's in the south village of Manhattan. Chef Bones it truly was a pleasure. Thank you for sharing your art, and I am counting the days until I take a trip down south to try to clean out your truck. Keep up the stellar work and best of luck in all of your future endeavors. Evviva!!

This was one of the best pizza-related choices I've made in Southern California. Parking is a little tough...I ended up parking a few blocks away on a main street, which was fine, but didn't notice there was a public parking structure available closer behind a building across the street. The place was crowded and lively on the early Saturday evening I was there. That's a great sign...I was just getting a slice to go, but overheard the host telling people it would only be 10-15 minutes for a table. I had a classic cheese slice. (My litmus test for NY pizza at a new location.) It was FANTASTIC. Easily among the very best crusts I've had on the west coast...super thin and crispy...exactly as it should be. The balance of sauce and cheese was also perfect. Too many pie shops seem to treat sauce as an afterthought...too thin a layer, almost not tastable. But not here...it was perfect...the right amount of everything. There are other really delectable looking pizza options, even for vegetarians like me, including a fascinating "Cacio E Pepe" and a Margherita. (I also saw one which looked all sauce like a tomato pie, which looked really good. (Plus other options like Fried Brussels Sprouts or Fried Cauliflower...cheese bread, and salads. The beer menu, as one would expect with "pint" in the name, is extensive with lots on tap and "guest" brewery selections. Lots of wines to choose from as well. Slice and Pint may be local to El Segundo (lucky El Segundonians!) But my experience with this one slice is that it would be worth the drive from anywhere in SoCal to eat here...If you love NYC-style thin slices...like real legitimate ones...charge up the car and get yourself there.

After finding a table, we went back up ready to order and the server responded pretty rudely: "Did you not hear what I said?" I completely understand restaurants get busy and mistakes happen, especially in a loud environment, but the attitude felt unnecessary over a simple misunderstanding. We ended up leaving and went to Japonica around the corner instead, where the service was much friendlier.
