Probably the best pizza in town. Service was exceptional. We ate outside and they came out to turn on the heat lamp just for us. I heard they import their water from NY... which is why it taste so good. Very nice outside area to eat at. I would definitely go back. read more

Tomato Pie, a pizza joint in Hollywood and Silverlake derives its name from, well, tomato pie. Tomato pie is a Sicillian's take on pizza where the dough is fococia like and thick. It is normally topped with tomato sauce and sprinkled with cheese. Never having tried tomoato pie, Tomato Pie was an obvious choice. The color scheme inside was refreshing and fun. Entering, it seemed more relaxed than I thought. You order the pizza or slices you want, they prepare it, and you pick it up. They come in the flappy paper plates you get at Costoco, but the choices of pizza they offer is amazing. And of course the taste is great as well. Honestly, I did not like the tomato pie, but I do like Tomatoe Pie. The tomato pie was the first thing I ate, as I was excited to try it. Topped with marinara sauce, herb, and pecorinno romano cheese, it felt a bit lacking in flavor. The marinara sauce was better than most, but the lack of meat and melted cheese was too missed. Sad to say, maybe the simplicity of it all didn't do it for me. The Grandma had crushed marinated tomatoes, basil, garlic, and light mozzarella. Though simple like the tomato pie, I really liked this one. Their pizza, the triangle sliced kind, has a crust so crispy and cracker like. The robust flavors of the basil and garlic were perfect with the light mozzarella melted on top. The Prosciutto Happiness, probably my favorite of the three was an obivous one -- Prosciutto is the magic word. Having alfredo instead of marinara, it was a bit rich in taste. The fig, prosciutto, arugula, topped with a balsamic reduction was all a great combination. Prosciutto and fig is always a nice combination of sweet and salty, and the balsamic reduction gave it that nice punch. The crispy crust and thin pizza made it easy to fold and eat. Eating tomato pie for the first time was exciting, but didn't really enjoy it. They offer a variety of different kinds of pizza, but the Gramdma and the Prosciutto Happiness is a nice starting point. Not exactly made to order, but prepared to order, everything still comes out warm and toasty. With a refreshing Light Coke and endless pizza options, Tomato Pie delivers, figuratively and literally. read more

I'm really glad they opened this place right near my house. I do recall receiving a flyer menu at my door but I didn't take it too seriously. Later on, I read about Tomato Pie some where then confirmed it on Yelp. The other night, I gave it a chance. I phoned in an order for take out. It was Friday night and they were busy so it took a little longer than I hoped for but good things come to those who wait (sometimes). I ordered the Grandma. I read a lot of the reviews and a lot of people said that this pizza is a guarantee. So I ordered the large ($18ish). I came to pick up the pizza and what I saw made me feel reminiscent about the days I use to slave away in restaurants. Small kitchen, workers working like ants non-stop. Orders after orders. It wasn't sloppy, it was organized and everyone knew their role. That's impressive. I worked at a small restaurant and some days we would have to work just like this. So I didn't get impatient waiting for my order, I grabbed a seat and just watched the show. I can sympathize with them especially when they were on top of things and didn't let anything slide. The pizza was very good, perfect blend of toppings and the smell in my car was to die for. For the record, I also recommend the Grandma. The crust is crunchy and thin. Not overwhelming or anything fancy about the crust but if you're into thin crust, this place is perrfect. I am now a fan of Tomato Pie. Next time, I'll try their delivery service. No more Pizza Hut. I rather pay a little more for quality pies. read more

Former New Yorker, occasional Chicago style pizza consumer. TPPJ is my go to in LA for delivery because they make a good crust that's not too floppy, folds nicely, has good chew and flavor. Also a fan of the calzones, baked ziti, and their baked goods. On the speciality side, their Grandma pie and the Mr Blanco Veggie are excellent. One day, I'll work up the courage to eat their Sicilian/deep dish but can't imagine I'll be disappointed. Thank you for making LA, a vast wasteland for decent pizza, more bearable. read more

YUM! We were virgins at this place, so didn't split a pizza because I wanted to try the various toppings. We ordered by the slice and chose meat lovers, grandma, cheese, cheese with garlic, and Mr. White. Can't forget the garlic knots. The cheese with garlic is Amazing. I wasn't very fond of Mr. White. To me, it was dry. Please don't complain if you're pizza is oily...it's Pizza! Just saying. I saw a mom and daughter at the next table with salad and...that's it. Well, I thought it was funny. The garlic knots were yummy too. Can't forget about the customer service. It was excellent. I would've liked it if the slices were larger, but I think we'll order a XL next time and I'm sure my wishes will come true. 11/5/14: after trying a dozen pizza places, tomato pie is my #1 pick in Cali. read more

Food quality: Great thin crust "authentic" Naples style pizza from the brick oven! Not quite as good as those pies you're going to pay almost twice as much for at some places (no names shall be named). This is thin crust pizza and there's just something about the quality, simple ingredients that makes the dough amazing. Don't reheat in microwave, instead use the oven or toaster oven (even the rubbery texture once it's been microwaved is amazing though!). Price: not cheap but not expensive. say $12-25 per person. I think we fed our two kids and my wife and I for about $35 since we just got a pizza, salad and one soda. Our kids are young, however. You might spend $50 with some sodas and two pizzas. Service: OK. Not bad, not amazing. They were busy but we got what we wanted. read more

I must say that my fellow yelpers are definitely on to something! This place is delicious. After reading plenty of great reviews, I decided that it was time to see what this place was all about. Came here on a Saturday afternoon with some friends and it wasn't too packed. We each ordered something different and picked off each other's food. Everything we ordered was pretty damn good. We tried three different slices, the mac n cheese, and their garlic knots. The pizza is thebomb.com. The crust is thin and perfectly crispy, not soggy at all! A friend ordered the Syracuse (chicken with spicy ranch) and she couldn't even formulate words to describe how tasty it was...she just kept saying "OMG...WHOA..OMG" I guess it was pretty damn good. I ordered their Grandma which seems to be a popular pick amongst yelpers....now I know why! It's savory, not overly salty, and the crust is sprinkled with a little parmesan cheese, just add a little bit of sriracha to that baby and DAMN, it's a party in your mouth. The mac n' cheese was also deeevine and had a perfect amount of kick to it. I returned this evening with the parental and it was pretty busy, but we found a parking spot and their service was speedy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some awesome pizza served by super friendly people! read more

Sooooo not quite sure what happened to our order. Usually have no problems when we dine in here but this time we decided to get it delivered. First, we had the wrong pizza delivered and it had gluten free crust that we did not specify for. The garlic noodles were so unbelievably bland we had to rescue them with our own spices. The broccolini appetizer was alright but is definitely way more of a vegetable medley to be named broccolini. Really disappointed and will probably not order takeout from here again, but will continue to dine in person read more

If you love the thin crust pizza with juicy toppings, then you will love this place. This place was a lot smaller than what I expected (it only had about 6 tables indoor). It has the local diner vibe with limited tables, oh and they had no air conditioning so try to go on a not-so-hot day. But the pizza tasted fantastic. It was $3 per slice so we ordered 2 slices each with hot wings. Hot wings were mild (just the way I like it), but they were wayyy too greasy. Oh and the parking lot is also very small so you might have to find a street parking. Overall, I would definitely come back here for lunch, dinner, or for my 4th meal of the day. read more

Okay, first, yes, it can be a bit tricky to find, so I have uploaded a map and aerial view showing exact location. On this trip, I wanted just a sampling of what Tomato Pie had to offer, and ordered two slices, the Grandma and the eggplant. Both were quite good, with this caveat: as they are slices, they are, of course, cooked slices on display that are re-heated as they are sold. Compared to many other pizza places serving similar slices, these are very good. They are, however, not as fresh as a pizza just out of the oven, and were perhaps just a bit over-done due to re-heating. This being said, I would still give them a 3.5 - 4 stars out of a possible 5. The ingredients were first rate and fresh. Now that I am acquainted with these pizzas, I will want to order a full pie next time, probably the New York cheese pizza, to see how they are fresh from the oven. I saw one of these being served up as I left, and if it tastes as good as it looks, it deserves a 5 star. I will report back soon. read more

Tomato Pie is definitely one of my favorite pizza spots in LA. I grew up in NJ and NY and this place is definitely as close to an east coast pizza style that I've found in LA. The Syracuse is for sure a highlight! Staff is always friendly. Due to Covid, I've been doing a lot of take out and Tomato Pie is always fast and reliable. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a slice in the area! read more

First off, if you're just driving down Hyperion looking for someplace to eat, you'll probably just fly right past. It's hidden - off on a side street and behind another business they share the building with. And don't look for huge flashing neon signs because there aren't any. It's probably a good thing because it gave the joint a nice neighborhood pizza joint feel. Very small inside. One table. four or five outside, but outdoors is nice - this is California after all. If it's a little cold, they'll turn on the space warmers, but again - it's California. Now for the pizza. We ordered half-and-half Grandma and Joe P. The super thin crispy crust crackles and splinters when you fold the slices in half to eat. Loved it! I'm also not a huge fan of heavily sauced pizzas and these weren't at all. Of the two, I liked the Joe P better, but only because it had sausage on it. And the perhaps the best is that it had none of the typical pizza chain greasy. I tend to like to keep my fingers on the pizza and not have it slide around like a greased pig. The workers are super friendly and like I said before, this place felt like a family-owned neighborhood pizza joint. Smiles. Checking up on how people are doing. Our pizza came out slightly deformed because it got stuck in the oven and they offered us several slices on the house to make up for it! Restaurants that care for quality - that's gold in my books. read more

A friend took us here for lunch, and I looked it up on Yelp out of habit - was surprised to see so many great reviews. From the outside it doesn't look like much - actually, from the inside it doesn't look like much either. Half a dozen inside booths and a small display counter; the other half of the store is the kitchen and takeout staging area; I guess there's an outside patio, too. I had a slice of "Freddorian" - Garlic, red onion, spicy sausage, pepperoncini, jalapeno, and pineapple - and a slice of "Joe P" - "Grandma Sauce", sausage, white onion & red bell pepper. Both were outstanding; the tomato sauce and the crust were the highlights. My wife had "Mr. White" - three cheese with garlic and olive oil - and liked it so much she ordered more. read more

Just when I thought this place couldn't get any worst, it did. I used to come here quite a bit and felt nostalgic today and ordered again. I ordered a pasta dish which was ridiculously over cooked and tasted like mush. The cheese sauce was watered down and flavorless. I paid extra for broccoli and only found 2 overcooked pieces of frozen/canned florets. They tossed a bunch of scallions and bread crumbles on top to make it look "fancy" or something. Keep in mind I paid $12.50 for this disaster. Long story short, food quality has sharply declined and customer service is hit or miss. Seems like they're trying to cut costs and it REALLY shows. I've given this place too many chances and won't be coming back. read more

Tomato Pie is just wonderful. At $2-3 dollars a slice (depending on whether you get a tomato pie slice or a more expensive gourmet slice) not only is it some of the most delicious pizza you'll ever taste, it's also a great value, buy two items and a drink is 50 cents! And this place is no one trick pony, their side dishes are great too, 4 for $2 Garlic Knots and a Spinach and Artichoke dip to die for. Parking may be a bit difficult as their lot is abysmally small but well worth the wait. read more

NY style thin crust pizza! the best ive had in LA and very moderately priced. very small little joint in Silverlake, indoor and outdoor seating. i recommend you get the Grandma pizza, which is a margherita pizza, very very fresh ingredients and when it comes out hot, the cheese melts perfectly with the tomato sauce & basil. Ordering it as whole pizza would be better since it comes out fresh and hot instead of the ones they sell single slice thats already been out for 10+ minutes already. I say skip the Mr. White pizza, which is a white sauce garlic pizza. Very garlic-y flavor which i like, but its more dry and not as fresh and saucy tasting as the grandma. But great pizzas and i would def come again just to order the grandma pizza. $14 for a medium and it feeds 2 :) read more

U can actually taste pizza at this place. Most LA pizza places taste like vegetables, meaning it has low end cheese and toppings mostly invisible. This was actually good, and reminded me of pizza back home in philly. Go Eagles! Lol Crust was actually edible and didnt cost $30 and two hours of ur life waiting like at Village Pizza on larchmont.

Very tasty, crispy pizza. A thin and memorable crust. Rather oily, if truth be told, but there ya go: It's Pizza! The Grandma Pizza was flavorful in a subtle way. Like a margherita pizza, almost. The linguini was just fine, too. And the Mac n Cheese (AKA the Policasserole) is also recommended, but beware: IT TAKES LONGER THAN ANY OTHER DISH. The otherwise very helpful and friendly staff didn't share/know this at the time, so we had a slightly grumpy dinner amongst us for awhile. But you can't beat the price and you will likely have plenty to take home. The house salad (Large) is also a good deal; and there was more than enough for two adults to share. No booze here, but they do have the de rigueur cool old timey sodas, like Mexican Coke. Park on the street as their lot is rather tight. Fun, bright, clean place. And now I see they have another location closer to home! Hey, it's all good. read more

I literally eat here almost every two weeks. I order the same thing and have ventured out a few times, but this pie is GREAT-hot or cold. I order the deluxe pizza which is your standard meat pie. I always have it delivered and they are pretty timely, but sometimes the pizza is luke warm when it comes. No big deal because it still tastes great. I wish it wasn't so pricey, but its worth it! I've also ordered the Florentine, which has more veggies. For whatever reason, when I order the Florentine, he crust is a bit more stable, but the Deluxe pizza is always really thin in the middle. But again, this doesn't bother me because good pizza is hard to find. Look no further! P.S. Their number is saved in my phone for quick dialing! P.P.S.

From the Business

Specialties

Serving up authentic East Coast Flavors since 2006. The first pizzeria in LA to bring you a Grandma Pie or great Central NY staples like a Tomato Pe or Chicken Riggies. Our mission has always been to create the perfect NY-Style pizza where getting a crispy yet chewy slice that you can hold & fold will take you back to walking the streets of NY. Beside the vintage experience of stepping into one of our locations to have a pie, you’ll definitely want to check out our delicious pasta’s that use our family’s five hour Sunday Sauce as the main ingredient. With sandwiches, appetizers and great salads there’s something for everyone.

History

Established in 2008.

The idea of creating a pizza place for everyone to enjoy started with the inability to find a decent slice of "Pie" on the entire West Coast. Seven years, one-hundred-forty drawings (or so), three years in New York, one-thousand burns, countless experiments with dough and sauce, tons of support from his family, and a big break provided by his partner Rafael Quinonez LATER...and an idea was put into action. Wanting to take the Concept to the next level, the two partners called upon the creative mind (and huge shoulders) of restauranteur Federico Suarez. The three joined forces and brought them to bear on the Melrose restaurant, which soon realized its optimum potential. So, the partners started to think about expansion...

Yes.

Does anyone know what their vegan cheese is made with?

I believe they use Daiya Cheese. Their sauce is so delicious and you can get veggies if you don't like Daiya Cheese.

Big shoutout to the entire staff especially our server, Emerson, who took amazing care of us! 1000/10 From the moment we entered & throughout our whole experience there, we received amazing, great vibes & hospitality. Everyone was so kind & welcoming. We were greeted & offered drinks as soon as we got seated. He explained the menu very well, was always on top of everything, and kept a positive attitude. Even though it was super busy, we never had to flag anyone down. Our dirty dishes were cleared off the table when done. The food came out not long after we put our order in. We got: Garlic Bread 1000/5 - THE STAR OF THE SHOW. I love sourdough & garlic bread so this was literally the best thing on earth! Came out nice & warm. Crust was crunchy with a soft, moist interior and extraaa garlic in every bite - it was heaven. The cheese on top was a bonus touch. Fusilli alla Vodka 4/5 - Not spicy. Tasted like an extremely creamy mac n cheese. I wouldn't say it's overhyped because it's really good, however there's nothing special about it. (I'm not a big pasta person so maybe that's why) Linguini & Clams 1000/5 - BEST THING EVER. Very well executed - every bite was so creamy & savory. The broth was phenomenal. If you love clams, you'll love this! (I wonder if there's an option to add extra clams?) Chicken Parm 4/5 - The texture, the flavor, & marinara at the bottom was delicious. Cheese was perfectly melted. Tiramisu 1000/5- Every layer was nice & moist. Not bitter, not overly sweet. Just perfect. One of the best tiramisus I've ever had! Was celebrating my birthday so Emerson was kind enough to add a candle + a warm greeting Overall, will definitely be back Worth reserving a month ahead on Resy!

Wow. Just wow…read more Pizzana delivered one of the best dining experiences we've had in Los Angeles. This may very well be the best Neapolitan-style pizza in LA. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and the arugula salad with chicken, and both were outstanding. The chicken deserves special recognition--it was perfectly seasoned, incredibly fresh, and cooked to perfection. Chicken breast is often dry, but this was surprisingly juicy and flavorful. The salad itself was super fresh, and the nuts paired beautifully with the lemon dressing, which may be one of the best salad dressings I've ever had. Honestly, we'd come back just for the salad. As for the pizza, it was exceptional. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the dough was absolutely incredible--light, airy, and perfectly textured. Every bite reminded us why Pizzana has such a strong reputation. It's an absolute must-try. The service made the experience even better. Our waitress, Niko, was fantastic. She was warm, welcoming, and took the time to explain every dish and answer all of our questions. To top it off, she surprised us with complimentary ice cream, which was such a thoughtful touch. The wine was also excellent. I enjoyed the Fèlsina Chianti from Tuscany, with beautiful notes of wild berries, black currant, and rose petal that paired wonderfully with the meal. From the food to the wine to the service, everything was outstanding. We left already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended.

It was a little awkward walking in and just standing there for a few minutes until someone noticed us because there's not really a host stand. In the Resy notes, I noted it was for a birthday and requested a nice table, but we were given a side table right next to the kitchen/bathroom instead of a nicer booth table. We eventually moved one table down because it wasn't the best vibe having staff continuously walking back and forth by our table. The drinks were good, Caesar Salad was average, the Vodka Pizza was decent, and the Cacio e Pepe could have used more flavor. I also had to ask if they offered any birthday desserts because it wasn't acknowledged and we were given a scoop of vanilla ice cream which was nice. Overall this place is more of a casual dinner/happy hour spot than a place to celebrate an occasion. Employees were friendly though!

Out of sheer luck, my best friend decided to chose this spot for our girls' night dinner, and we have decided on consensus that we savored every bite of our meal. We started our meal with the absolutely delectable focaccia erbraica, a cinnamon roll looking starter bread with olives, currant and a generous sprinkle of rosemary and salt. It came with a pad of homemade honey butter and a dab of olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. It was so umami and paired with the butter seemingly melted in our mouths. We also countered that carb bomb with deliciously charred broccolini with walnuts and a squeeze of citrus. Highly cruciferous veggies should only be grilled based on how fast we cleaned our plate. As for the entrees, the plates are meant to share, but I skipped lunch and ate my own bowl of mafaldine short rib pasta (yes you read that right). It was so hearty and satisfying. As a kid, I loved stealing the cooked lasagna noodles and eating them by itself when my mom would make lasagna, so having it on my own bowl of pasta (in the form of mafaldine) gratified my inner child. The short rib was so tender and it was perfectly sauced. I could have eaten another bowl. My friend ordered a steak and a rigatoni alla carbonara, and while I didn't try the former, the latter rigatoni was so delicious as well. For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu, and luckily the last one of the night. It had equal parts espresso soaked cake and cream, and it was the perfect sweet note to end our epically delicious meal.

Bacetti is a beautiful restaurant serving delicious food, but our experience was unfortunately let…read moredown by some confusing and inconsistent service. The restaurant is located near Dodger Stadium in a hilly residential area that isn't particularly pedestrian-friendly. Parking was by far the biggest logistical challenge, as we couldn't find any dedicated parking options beyond residential street parking. It's worth planning extra time if you're driving. We arrived around 7:45 for our 8pm reservation simply to check in, not expecting to be seated early. The host, seeming a little bothered, let us know our table would be ready closer to our reservation time and offered grabbing a drink at the bar next door as an option while we wait. We didn't want to order drinks, so we stood against the wall in the waiting area across the host stand. We were single-file, hugging the wall and not blocking anyone. Nevertheless, we were quickly told we couldn't wait there and needed to either go outside (it was cold) or sit at the tables next to the bar. After taking the indoor option given to us, a server came over to take our order. We explained that we were only sitting there because the host had directed us to wait there until our table was ready. The server responded, "Well, if you're here, it's basically expected you order a drink." Restaurants: please do not play games with your patrons. If purchasing something is expected to use the waiting area you direct us to, it leaves a really bad taste to discover it after you've sat down. After 8, we were seated in the main restaurant for our reservation. Our server was friendly, personable, and never made us feel pressured to order more than we wanted like I've encountered in other places. The menu was explained as family-style, with dishes intended to arrive around the same time. Unfortunately, the pacing of the meal didn't match that explanation. Instead of arriving together, the dishes came out individually over the course of about 1-2 hours, often 10-20 minutes apart. I completely understand that everything is made fresh, but it was disappointing after being told the meal would be timed differently. Setting accurate expectations would have gone a long way. The food itself was excellent and easily the highlight of the evening. While the dishes leaned a bit salty, everything was crafted artfully with quality ingredients. The stuffed fried squash blossoms, carbonara, pesto, and peach & burrata salad were all standouts that I'd happily order again.

The way it's set up is pretty cultural. It reminds me of some hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant the way they have metal utensils at each table. It's almost like a self-serve system to certain tools which is pretty common. I haven't drank water out of metal cup in a long time, so that was nostalgic too. We tried a variety of dishes to get a fuller understanding of their menu of what this place has to offer. I was really looking forward to the beef roll because it's usually one of my favorite dishes, but this one was disappointing. I define a good beef roll as one that's a good mix of sweet, savory and refreshing. The meat makes it savory and the veggies are supposed to counter it make the whole dish feel light. If someone disagrees with me, please share your thoughts on what a beef roll should taste like. The one from Pine & Crane was drenched in sauce. I could not taste the meat or the veggies and the whole thing tasted like a stick of sugar. The mapo tofu was on point, but this is quality you can probably make at home. The flavor profile was very similar to that of stuff you'd get a grocery store. The three cup jidori chicken came recommended, so we tried it. The flavor is very pungent and goes well with rice.

I never feel like a customer at Osteria La Buca -- I always feel like a guest, and that means a lot.

Their Carbonara for example, is made properly, without cream, peas, or the other abominations that many restaurants add. "Other restaurants = Take lessons. The ricotta with agave is a lovely Italian Mexican wedding, the pizzas are tasty and so many other dishes are consistently fantastic. They also have a super solid wine selection, and the ambiance is wonderful both on the main floor and in the private dining room. The staff is always super friendly, and you can tell they are well trained and genuinely enjoy working there.

Came here with some friends for a quick bite dinner. Very solid pizza place that's closer to 3.5 stars. Just couldn't give them 4 stars because wasn't blown away by what I had. Food: Everyone shared their slices. So got to try the Mr. White, Joe P, The Grandma, and some garlic knots. The crust was great on all slices. Very thin with a little char, and substantial enough to hold up to the cheese and toppings. Pretty impressed. Mr. White and Joe P were awesome. Sometimes with "white" pizzas you only get one flavor coming through, but the Mr. White was really balanced. With some red pepper flakes and it's awesome. The Joe P was very good too. Tomato Pie doesn't skimp on their toppings and everything was really fresh. The Grandma and garlic knots were just ok. I think we probably needed to add some extra toppings to the Grandma like other yelpers have done. By itself, it's a very good Margherita pie but nothing you can't get at a good pizza place. The garlic knots were pretty plain and not something I'd order again. It's good dough, but I'd rather save space for more slices Overall, it's a good local place that serves a solid slice. Would come back again, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. The location can a be little tricky to find, especially at night. It's got a tiny parking lot and a couple booths to sit down. read more

Deserves your visit without second thoughts honey! It's a pretty cool, laid-back sort of a neighborhood pizzeria that not just shoots up for a variety of great pizzas, but also for other East Coast-inspired Italian dishes. Went here to throw a little bash for my cousin's birthday and quite a nice experience it was as the day welcomed the dark hour. Everything was striking, right from Tomato Pie's eclectic mix of design and music to its highly productive team of servers and chefs - that smilingly give an hour extra to serve you. Folks over Tomato Pie Pizza Joint seriously know how to treat their customers (which is pretty easy to miss for others in town for sure). Our guests were really taken good care of while the food and beverages perked up the whole experience even for better. It may sound a bit loft for a pizza joint, but quite a great spot to hang out! Would definitely go here again (at least, for its colorful atmosphere, remarkable service and freaking awesome pizzas off course). read more

Tomato Pie Pizza Joint won over a fan this weekend in me! We came here Saturday before heading to a bar to watch some college football. A bunch of my friends are huge college football fans and I enjoy tossing a few back and the atmosphere. But, before you start day boozing you gotta get a solid meal in your stomach and there's no better option than a big ole, yummy pizza! As I looked over the menu I couldn't decide exactly which pizza I wanted- we were all gonna split a big pizza but after much debate we decided to go our own ways. I went with the the Veggie Blanco. Spinach, tomatoes, onions and broccolis on their delicious, crispy crust and massive amounts of gooey cheese with all my fresh veggies tossed in and atop to make one darn good pizza! I had planned on swapping a slice of my pizza for one of my friend's that went with the bbq pizza but once I got started I plowed through all 6 slices too fast to be able to swap! Her loss! read more

I had always heard that the words "L.A." and "pizza" don't exactly go hand-in-hand... but lemme tell ya - I was just simply internally prepared for Southern California's apparent Great Pizza Deficit - where the average pizza here can range from "Eh..." to "If I ever see that pizza again, it'll begin somewhere in a dark alley and end with it sleepin' with the fishes." Fuhgetaboutit. Tomato Pie Pizza Joint, though? Lemme tell ya. Tomato Pie don't mess around. Tomato Pie, it don't disappoint. Definitely one of the best pizzas I have tried so far in L.A.

This place is wonderful. Seriously. Great Pizza. The pasta dishes are a tad generic but satisfying. A small dinning area inside and a patio outside but I would recommend ordering in advance and picking up. The locals seem to like to bring their kids there and let them run amok so it gets noisy. The perfect pizza for a Friday night veg out in front of the television. Don't try to use the parking lot unless it is empty. Takes more time to maneuver in and out than it takes to pick up and pay. Just park on the street and walk down. This place is everything it strives to be. Great pizza, nice counter staff. I am a committed customer. read more

Coming on a Saturday afternoon, this was not an issue and I easily found street parking in front of the restaurant. I ordered their lunch special which is daily (even on weekends) until 4 PM. Their lunch special goes for either $13 or $17, depending on if you want one or two slices of pizza. It also includes either 4 wings, mozzarella sticks, fries, or a side salad. Also includes a drink (eg canned soda). Honestly, considering how BIG these slices of pizza are, this is a pretty good deal. Slices here are typically $6 for cheese with 50 cents per additional topping. Honestly, I was pretty surprised by how good this was. The slices of pizza are made to order with the toppings you want. These slices are huge by the way... one slice is easily two slices at other pizza places. You can also tell these ingredients are high quality. My girlfriend got a slice with artichoke hearts and they were so good. I opted to get the buffalo wings too with the lunch special and... oh my god... these were so good!!! I highly recommend eating it there because the wings have such a delicious flavor and are SO juicy and crunchy when you first bite into them. I was so shook. I will be back! There was only one employee working and she took our order and made all of the food. Food came out within 5 minutes too. Service was excellent. I will be back. Thank you!!

Don't let bad pizza happen to good people. The pizza itself was luke warm and bland. Literally one of the worst slices of pizza in my life. Hard times pizza, not even once.

Garage pizza bring back the good vibes! Bring back some seating! What happened?! I want to give 3 stars but I'm giving 4 bc I don't want to knock any non-chain business down. And I'm not shitting on the employees, per se - they're perfectly nice. It's the vibe. It's the energy. And largely that's what's been done to The space - it's absolutely structured to make you want to gtfo. Also, the slices are just so much more than a standsrd slice shop. That part's always been annoying. But I like the pizza fine. I'm just grieving.

Super fresh ingredients and great quality. Wonderful and attentive service too! We also loved the old world rustic ambiance - I'm a sucker for a red booth! Lastly, you can't beat these prices! Our understanding is that they're under new ownership so I can't speak to how it compares to before. But I would encourage anyone to stop by and give it a chance. The new owners are a hardworking couple - chef and front of house. We were served by the wife who was super friendly and personable. It's worth the stop and we can't wait to return!

I have been to Raffallo's Pizza numerous times in the past but not in a very long time.. like probably over 30 years. The one in Hollywood & La Brea is still there, but was way out of my way. Yesterday, my friend and I stopped by this Raffallo's Pizza in the heart of Hollywood which brings me a lot of great memories since I used to live there and practically spend 17 years of my life there. It's still home to me. This Pizza place has been there for a little over 10 years but the new owners Miguel & his wife Geysy took over the business 3 months ago. Got a very warm, happy, pleasant welcome by them and their employee by the name of Abigel. She was very sweet, kind, and brought out our order on timely manner. We both got their Gnocchi Al Pesto Genovese which included gnocchi, sauce (homemade) basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmigiana & reggiano. It's a type of pasta.(18;00), Got 2 more things: Scampi Salad with Grilled Shrimp, arugula, cherry tomatoes, avocado with lemon dressing.($20.00). Last, but not least we got their 12 inch medium size Vegetable Lovers Pizza: Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Black Olives, Onions & sliced tomatoes ($22.95). For drinks, we both stayed with our waters. Total came out to be $65.51. Food was very fresh, pipping hot, & very DELICIOUS. GF dough was a bit hard to chew, but wasn't too bad. They have few parking spaces right in the front, 1 gender neutral restroom and one last thing that you should know. When we got the check there were few hidden fees that was not mentioned to us before hand if you pay with a card. Overall, a great experience, we both split the bill and the ambiance was as lovely as it could be!! Thank you Miguel, Geysy and Abigel. Will return next time I am in the area.:-))

I ordered the vegetarian sandwich without cheese. She asked if I wanted mayo, as she thought I might want a vegan sandwich. "Nope, mayo fine, just no cheese". When you have a sandwich with only lettuce, tomato, avocado and carrot you have little to hide behind. The bread was fresh and delicious, toasted well. The filling for me was perfect. The cafe is small but clean. And later when hubby was free he came and ordered pastrami. His sandwich was also great. Did I mention the bread was bomb? They also have salads and pizza but the sandwich was perfect. Such a great surprise and now I have a lunch place to look forward to when visiting Kaiser on sunset.
