Message from Village Pizzeria

Brooklyn transplant brings New York-style pizza to L.A.
  • Fresh ingredients
  • Free Delivery
  • Owner Grew Up In Brooklyn

While on vacation here in Los Angeles during the summer of 1996, an empty store on Larchmont called our name--so our first L.A. location went from idea to reality! California "Fresh" means just that--no additives--fresh. The dough for the pizza crust is prepared daily using fresh yeast and allowed to "proof" (rise). The resulting shell is a true baker's crust. Village Pizzeria uses the best Wisconsin mozzarella available. To insure the quality and freshness of the toppings, we make our own sausage, meatballs, marinara sauce, fresh crushed garlic and clam mixture and pesto according to specific "special" house recipes. We only use fresh cut produce. The proof of the pizza is in the eating. Join us, make yourself comfortable and enjoy!

Excellent pizza  4 Star Rating - Very good

Great pizza at great prices. The only drawback is that we always have to wait a long time for our server and our food. They must understaff. Still, it's worth it.

Actual New York pizza. No, really.  5 Star Rating - World class

In over 30 years of exhaustive searching, I've found three places that served pizza that would pass muster in NY. The only one that is still open is this one. (We're still mourning the loss of Vito's on Vermont.) Always order it by the slice, and remember that when the pizza is quality, there's no need to overload it with toppings. A plain cheese slice here is heaven. Friendly service, bargain prices, lovely outdoor tables.

The best in town, bar none.

PROS: Actual, authentic, delicious NY pizza. At last!
CONS: Too small a delivery radius!

New York Syle Pizza  4 Star Rating - Very good

If you want a simply good New York style pizza experience... eat in or take it away... either way... check it out! You can always walk it off and window shop on the same street or walk around in the nice surrounding residential area.

It's a Pizzeria not the four seasons 4 Star Rating - Very good

This place is superb. Great pies, great toppings, quickly made. If you are sitting down, relax, if you are ordering form your house, pick it up. It's too good of a pie to complain.

Good Food & Mean Service Do Not Mix In This Town 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

What else could you want from a pizza joint in LA that serve's good pizza? i'll give ya a hint: how about ..... friendly service to go with the food!!!! I'll admit the food is good but not worth every dime. Why??? The service gals are mean and snappy. Who needs to deal with people that are mean and not willing to wait on innocent customers. all i want is a slice of pizza not an attitude as a topping. I lost my appetite.

Pros: food
Cons: service

Don't anger the staff! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Let me get this out of the way: the pizza's not bad, if a little soggy.

Somehow we incensed the staff, however, attempting to negotiate the take-out / eat-in divide. Without
going into too many details, our low-key family of three with no prior restaurant confrontations was made
to feel bizarrely unwelcome. Angry lecturing, slamming of dishes, a messed-up order, mumbling, weird
eye contact...what is this, the gruel line at the orphanage?

Me: I'd like to add [pasta dish] and a side salad to our order.
Her: [Gesturing] All of these people waited twenty minutes for their pizza!
[The restaurant is empty - they just opened. I have no idea what she means.]
Me: Sorry, is it not possible?
Her: [Angry noises, writes down the wrong thing. Someone else confronts me later and tells me I ordered a Cobb salad.]

After 15 minutes, we left, $56 poorer. Try to guess whether we'll be back!

Excepetional Pizza 5 Star Rating - World class

We all know that good pizza is hard to come by in LA, but fear not, as Village Pizza has come to save us all!

They've just opened a new store in hollwooy, on Yucca. Which just so happens to be a 3 min walk from my office. Most lunch times are now pizza or some variation thereof.

Their calzone is to die for. I highlt reccomend it. Everything else is just as good and the price is excellent.

Hopefully they'll open up a store on the west side so that i can eat it for dinner to!

Pros: Excellent pizza, Fast service.
Cons: Busy at lunch - but who in hollywood isn't?
