Would not return again based on our experience tonight. The woman working the register said our order wasn't in the system despite ordering directly through them, having a confirmation e-mail, and seeing a pizza through the window with our name on it. Then, when she did bring the pizza out, she accused us of not paying online. The pizza itself was not fresh at all even though we picked it up right on time. It was lukewarm and the crust was hard. Poor quality for the price. As a former New Yorker, believe me. You can do a lot better. read more

I order Parmesan eggplant and chicken Parmesan w/ spaghetti to go, when I get home right away, the eggplant looks was cooked days ago, and the chicken was ok not amazing, the spaghettis where cold like they just took out from the fridge cooked ahead,$35 just that. Over priced and bad old food, they have enough parkin place is little and the person who took my order was very nice at least that. read more

When we tried Vito's, we ordered a half wild mushroom & half pesto, at the suggestion of a nice lady named Grace. I also got a bowl of minestrone soup, which was supposed to be homemade. What we got was three slices of wild, mushroom & 5 slices of the (cheaper) pesto. Apparently the cook flunked geometry? I know some people enjoy the char, however when it's completely black, it's not enjoyable. Not to mention big burnt bubbles. I wouldn't have bothered to complain, (although we were disappointed) The last straw came when the $10. Minestrone was 95% salt water/tomato juice, & a few spoonfuls of beans at the bottom. I even poured the soup into a Pyrex cup to separate the liquid from the solid & my suspicion was correct! I am including photo documentation where you can see the burnt pizza& the minestrone soup. The last picture of minestrone soup comes from Marie's Italian restaurant.. I just wanted to show what REAL homemade minestrone should look like. Now, I never would've posted this review, I took the pictures because I wanted to show the manager so they could troubleshoot. I called & was told the manager was Grace. I left a number and she would call me back. No call back. I called again the next day & Grace answered the phone. She was very rude and hasty, however explained she was swamped & would call me back. Never did. So, I wanted to give her the benefit of a doubt, so I called again the next day. Left number. No call back. I almost wish Grace would've told me that she was not gonna call me back instead of pretending! Becz she had no intention of calling me back! I do have to say that the small percentage of pizza that we did get (that wasn't burnt) was good. But Paying $55 for 4 pieces of pizza is not worth it. Mistakes happen, but having management that has no concerns for the happiness of the customer? I'd go somewhere else. read more

Vito's Pizza - Best combination (red meat & veggie) - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great food and great service. Grace was especially kind and sweet. Parking is easy, which is a big plus for this location.

Great pies, huge size, quality ingredients. Decent value. Highly recommend. The sausage, meatball and combo sandwiches are very tasty.

Best East Coast style pizza on the West Coast ! Great thin crust and easy to take a slice or 2 on the go .

Decent pie down down La Brea , grab em by the slice , tiny joint with two tables alone but outdoor seating available as well , albeit wobbly chrome-metal furniture , outdoor seating all the same. read more

I felt the need to write a review because the fact this pizzeria doesn't have a perfect 5/5 is a crime against humanity. It is hands down the best pizza in the western United States, and of course California, and of course LA. Words can't do it Justice. The flavor, the crust, the sauce, it's unimaginable. Eat this pizza at all costs. With that out of the way, it seems Vito's got hit by some Karen 1 star reviews. "they were rude" or "long wait time" - these are not true statement. The staff is incredibly nice, both myself and my guest agreed so. They were the nicest staff I've ever seen at a restaurant, a profession riddled with hungry, inpatient Karen's. Two, there was no wait. Maybe if you go at 6PM, you'll have to wait for your pizza, Karen! God forebide! Next time, order ahead of a 25 minute wait is enough to give the best pizza within 1500 miles a 1 star review! You are doing this family run joint a huge disservice rating them because of such meaningless reasons. Ignore the reviews. Eat this pizza. I would travel 400 miles to eat this pizza. I will never forget what this pizza tasted like. read more

I have never met an establishment so rude, I called tonight at 9:08 after having a mistake with my delivery. This unmannered female answered with an attitude saying they were closed. I tried to explain the mistake and she asked if she can call me back the next day. I wasn't asking for the problem to get fix instantly since I understood they were close. I replied if this is how you handle mistake then sure. She said " you know what I am not giving you SHIT for free if you want to be an Asshole then you can just fuck off! You can tell Vito I don't give a shit, leave a yelp review my name is grace!" Then she slams the phone to hang up! This must be a reflection of how they treat and pay their employees. I hope the female who called me an Asshole reads this review and knows that I'll keep her in my prayers to make sure one day she will do more with her life then work for Vitos Pizza.! This was suppose to be a pepperoni and mushroom calzone. read more

Vito's Pizza - Ham and Onion, I'm Jewish I would never order Ham! - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

You can find pizze everywhere in Los Angeles, but rare finding Calzone which is basically a pizza folded in half with the toppings inside. Common in Philadelphia but not ever seen in L.A. is a Stromboli which has the shape of a volcano. I phone ordered a Maria Mangia Buona around 10:30 pm just 30 minutes before closing. The Calzone was ready for pick up in 15 minutes. However, the menu states that if pizza orders fill up the oven, calzones take second billing & orders will not be honored. The ingredients in the Maria Mangia Buona are varied: 1) Stretchy, mild, milky Mozzarella cheese 2) Creamy, slightly crumbly, fermented Ricotta 3) bell peppers 4) tomatoes 5) broccoli 6) spinach 7) brined, cured black olives 8) mushrooms 9) onions 10) bits of sweet Italian sausage 11) thin slices of Pepperoni I received the MMB in a brown paper bag that had substantial heft. The piping hot Calzone was wrapped in aluminum foil w/ a flimsy paper dish underneath. I opened up the aluminum wrapping to find a huge inflated looking round bread with a vaginal opening dead center. I sprinkled more grated Parmesan cheese (not parmigiano reggiano) and some red chile flakes to spark things up & took it home. Included is a sweet, pleasant thick tomato sauce that can be used as a dipping sauce. I cut the Calzone in half to see what the internal structure was like. The bottom of the Calzone is a thick slab of bready pizza crust unlike the thin crust pizze found displayed in their glass case. In some ways this version of Calzone is like a loaf of Ciabatta bread where the filling is stuffed under a thin 1/8 inch dome of thin crust, but the bottom is at least 1 inch to 2 inch thickness of a heavy, moist, substantial bread. The filling is great w/ generous amounts of especially Ricotta. The tastes all come together....saltiness from the cured black olives & pepperoni, meaty from the Italian sausage, dairy from the mozzarella & ricotta, acidity from tomatoes, woodsiness from mushrooms, funk from onions. However, the huge amount of "bread" dilutes the flavours of the filling. This may be great for Carboholics who like tons of carbohydrates, but for me eating this Calzone was like slogging through deep snow. Too much bread to filling ratio made this Calzone seem heavy & plodding. 3 Yelp stars read more

Let's start with the pros: super fast service and a hot slice of pizza straight from the oven. Reheated of course. Now the cons: Red meat pizza slice had a very plain sauce. It's like straight blended tomatoes and cheese that tasted like it was from a bulk mozzarella bag. Decent 3 stars but nothing to brag about. Hard to find parking. read more

Unfortunately I chose Vito's pizza as my Saturday night dinner with friends I had over at place. When ordered i was told it would take 20-25 min, in reality it took them 120 min and 3 phone calls in order to give me my pizza. Not only that, they didn't apologized once!! Obviously the pizza got here ice cold and my Saturday night was ruined. Choose every other pizza!! read more

VERY DISAPPOINTING! Spaghetti was flavorless and very dry. There wasn't even enough sauce to coat the noodles. The bread sticks were very dry and plain. We ordered pasta and pizza, and we didn't receive the pizza. When I called, they were not apologetic at all and just said "you'll get a refund". Meanwhile, 2 guests at our house, didn't have food to eat. Our guests were excited to try famous Vitos pizza and were extremely disappointed. We will never order from Vitos again. read more

Raised in New York, this is a tourist trap New York-style pizza. While Vito's has a great crust, the funky, greasy cheese and cheap undercooked pepperoni made this pizza hardly edible. I ordered a pie with a friend last week, choked down a couple of slices, and threw the rest away. The cannolis were even more disgusting; the filling was a gray overly sweet slime. that oozed out of a vanilla wafer shell - they did not even get the shell right. Yeah, you can say I did not like the place. read more

The pizza is still awesome, but the music used to be a lot better. Ask for the spicy pepperoni, not on the menu. Not really all that spicy, but much more flavorful than their regular pepperoni. Too bad about the music, though. read more

Was my go-to pizza place for years. Loved it. Hadn't been in forever and went again recently. Was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, it's not the same as it used to be. The pizza was pretty decent, just not great like it once was. The service used to be friendly here too. Not anymore. Too bad. read more

Ordered from here for a friend. Tried to use UberEATS, but it said that they were closed. Discovered that there are 2 accounts for them on UberEATS & 1 is wrong. So I ordered directly from their website. The original delivery time was 1 hour. Turns out it was closer to 2 hours and the food was left outside, on the street, without any notification. I understand "no contact delivery", but this is ridiculous! read more

I am writing this review through the bias lens that I paid $33 for two topping pizza. I think it is a blessing for California restaurants that it's citizens view and rate establishments through a snowflaskish lens. It allows medicore and overpriced restaurants to showcase a four star rating. I am from the east coast and have sampled pizzas from five states there. Those pies have: - better sauce that is not runny - more toppings, including quality sausage - more cheese damn it - firmer crust like upper crust on beverly - spices on the pie, hello oregano?! Those pies are also $25 out the door. I would ask all Yelp reviewers under 35 years old to watch 10-15 episodes of diners, dives, and drive thrus. Guy will show you what you are missing in California, then you can demand better value and service in your Yelp reviews. You might even stop automatically rating places 4 or 5 stars out of PC etiquette. read more

I would definitely say this place is a solid 4.5 stars!! I came here on a Thursday night with my friend. There's a parking lot out front, which is awesome and totally rare for LA! The place was not crowded when we got in around 6:30, but started to fill up as the time went on. I ordered the margherita pizza and the cheese pizza; my friend ordered the white pizza and fresh mozzarella pizza. The margerita pizza was good, crispy at the bottom, flavorful on top, BUT tomatoes and ripped up basil leaves were thrown on top haphazardly and I dont know about you, but I usually like those ingredients baked into my pizza. Nonetheless, it was still tasty. The cheese pizza was basic and oh so delectable!! I considered ordering ANOTHER slice. How can you go wrong with a cheese pizza? You can't, and Vito's most definitely did this slice correctly. I love a pizza with a nice crispy crust!! My friend said she actually enjoyed her white pizza over the fresh mozz pizza, which was honestly so unexpected as the white pizza is just cheese on a crust!! But, she said it was super flavorful and she loved it. I honestly NEED to go again. I work pretty close to it, so I'm really happy about that and will need a vito's pizza fix ASAP. I definitely recommend. Probably the best sliced pizza I've had in LA (bold statement, I know). read more

This place took me back to the east coast for a few minutes. Very amazing pizza. This place can be kind of hard to find if you're driving. It's tucked in the corner of a very small shopping center. I went late night, so not as bad. This is a pretty small shop, but the aroma of pizza smacks you as soon as you walk through the door. On display were several types of pizzas, which were very hard to choose from. You can order a whole pie or a slice by itself. I ordered only two slices, but the size was pretty big; one slice cheese, the other pesto. After taking my order, I went to the outside patio area. About five minutes later, my food was brought out to me. The pizza was perfectly crusty on the outside and gooey on the middle, just how I liked it. Would definitely come back here if I am in the area. read more

Food: Vitos has one of the, if not THE best, NY style pizzas in LA. Their dough is the perfect marriage of thin and hearty. It's ideal for holding up the sauce and cheese. Speaking of sauce and cheese, they combine to make a flavorful bite every time. The slice somehow packs all of this without being greasy. Throw some red pepper on and it's unbeatable. Service: The people are always nice. Their take-out ordering has now moved to GrubHub and although it always tells you your food will be ready in 40+ minutes, it usually only takes them about 15. You can call in and press 1 to get part the automated message just to be sure. Price: 21 and some change for a large (and I mean LARGE) cheese pie. I'd say it's reasonable. Overall: It's been a long time since I've had a slice of pizza in NY, but as far as I remember this is the closest I've ever had outside the big apple. Would I go again? Absolutely. read more

Really excellent NY style pizza in LA. They serve a variety of slices in classic NY and "gourmet" toppings. I had a "Cheri-O"(Cheri Oteri favorite) , a Pesto, and a mixed meat one. All were very good, and I asked them to serve it lukewarm(I dont like hot fresh pizza, I prefer it settled after an hour or so) so I could taste it without getting my inside mouth burned. The only downside is that slices are expensive, especially the ones with good toppings. I will say each slice is quite large as well. So the biggest criticism is that its hard to get variety, cheaply and at normal size. Im sure the deals are better if you buy a pie that everyone can agree on. They have other typical red-sauce entrees and appetizers that I am sure are competently made, but I came here for the slices. This place is a cant miss if you require NY style done well. read more

This place markets itself as authentic NY pizza, and sure enough, you can find NY pizza like this--but it's not *good* NY pizza. More like Famous Famiglia. The worst thing is that the pizza was soggy. NY slices are supposed to be crispy enough to fold and hold, but the slices here were floppy like jello. read more

One of the best pizzas in town! The red sauce is the real deal and the salads are fresh with house made dressing. Tastes like everything is made with love! read more

I'm from the east coast. I love NY pizza. You know... the kind with the thin crust but not too thin. The kind that's perfect for folding. The kind where the crust has the right amount of crunch and softness, and has a flavor all it's own. And to me, one of the most important aspects that makes a great pizza, is the ratio of cheese to sauce. Too many places skimp on the sauce, so all you get is globs of cheese in every bite. Well my friends, as far as LA goes, this is the holy grail of NY style pizza shops. Vito's has the best of everything, and, the actual shop is a great little place (a few tables inside but more outside, and an actual parking lot!) too. Added bonus... they refer to a whole pizza as a pie. As it should be. Another location in Santa Monica that is just as good but has a completely different vibe. read more

Attention all NY SLICE LOVERS! Vitos is the best place, hands down in LA to get a real slice of NY Style pizza! If you like deep dish or Neapolitan, then find somewhere else to go! But if you want a huge slice of NY Style pizza complete with the freshest ingredients, a perfect chew on the crust, and the right amount of charred crisp on the bottom, then come here. The staff and the owner as so cool and the owner/chef is a great guy to talk to. The meat slice and the pesto pizza are my favorite! I've been searching for a great pizza joint serving this style since moving back to LA 5 years ago. Absolutely no other place compares. Individual slices are about $4-5 a slice and they're huge! I'm a big guy and 3 slices leaves me stuffed! I've never tried anything else on the menu, but if the pizza is any indication, you won't be disappointed! ENJOY! read more

Honestly, mediocre. This place used to be really delicious, our go to spot before hitting EP & LP for drinks. But this time it just didn't hit the spot the way pizza should. I feel like it was lacking flavor, needed a bit more seasoning. I'm not sure but it didn't satisfy. Also, the health grade is B. If I'd seen that before eating, we would not have ate there. I would think twice before revisiting. read more
