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!
My favorite pizza this side of the Hudson River!! This is the best New York Pizza you can get out here in Ca. The portions are huge the owners could not be nicer, it a regular site to see them schmooze with the clientele or simply welcome you to thier restaurant. Larchmont is the perfect location for this place you can get a slice of pizza and a slice of a real "old neighborhood" feel. I only wish they would deliver a little farther.
Pros: Location, The people, The Pizza
Cons: , seating

Being a true New yorker, my search for New York style pizza has come to an end. Village Pizzeria offers the real deal . . . thin crust, good sauce, great cheese!!! The staff is fantastic and the owners are always there with there NY personality to make you feel at home. Parking is hastle but worth it. Sports and music fans will love the decor.
If you are a New Yorker and you to are searching for a piece of home, look no further and go to Village.
Pros: Food, Service, Decor

i am in search for the best pizza place in town. after being sick of corporate own pizzerias and being cheated out of quality ingredients, i decided to start this quest.
first stop, village pizzeria.
great prices! i ordered a slice of neopolitan (thin slice) and their thick crust pizza.
although the crust is a tad undercooked for the thick crust, the pizza is still really good. the service is prompt . the ambiance is pretty chill. its a great place to kick back after a morning of shopping at the farmer's market a few stores up.
they have free delivery. i will definitely be going back.
Pros: good prices, good food
Cons: , crowded

finally good pizza in LA. Great, simple NY pizza. The subs aren't east coast portions, but they are tasty.

I grew up in New York City -- Home of THE BEST Pizza in the world -- and I am here to tell you -- the Village Pizzaria is hands-down THE BEST *Real New York* Pizza in Southern California!!
Having lived in So. Cal and sampled many pizzas here -- some very very good -- there is no pizza I've ever had in So. Cal. that is as New York as the Village Pizzaria. What's more, the service is impeccable, prices are reasonable and I have NEVER had even 1 order confused by anyone. Guess this all comes from the Owner being a good old Queens boy! :) My only wish is that they were bigger and closer to my house so I could have my pies delivered. THE BEST!!
Pros: Excellent food, Great service, Real NY Atmosphere
Cons: Difficulty parking

This place rocks! The pizza is delicious and the slices gargantuan. Try it. You'll like it.
Pros: delicious, gigantic slices, huge slices

What you order isn't always what you get. Despite a relatively easy order half the pizza slices arrived with the wrong toppings (3/6). Service was also slow and the pizza not actually that great. The position of pizza-maker was posted at the door. Maybe we got the stand-in. Allied to the difficult parking overall experience was fair to middlin'.
Pros: Prices
Cons: Service, Parking

Consistently the best good, hot, fresh, pizza in Los Angeles. And it's great leftover and cold.
Of course it's crowded, it's excellent. And I'm glad it's not expanding to meet demand, as that might mean Steve would need to cut corners. I'll gladly wait for a table and take in the stellar view of Larchmont's pedestrian traffic, which is, er, arousing. The crust and cheese are the best.
Pros: Best Food, Cheerful, Professional
Cons: No Parking, Waiting

If you're lucky, Owner Steve will be hanging around outside watching the wait staff run around like crazy. Excellent pizza but be patient, usually only 1 or 2 people are on hand to serve.
Pros: cheap
Cons: parking is hard

This is one, if not THE best NYC style pizza I've had. Only downside is that is does get very crowded during the lunch hour, (best time to go is after 3pm or weekends) which makes it virtually impossible to get a table or parking...but it's worth it!

the Eggplant parm sandwich is the best I've found in L.A. Virtually stuffed to the gills and oily and with good sauce. Pizza's pretty darn tasty too.
Pros: good people watching, al fresco, tasty

Excellent pizza and rolls. Great locations, good for lunch or quick bite

Fair pizza but not authenic, Californian Style, not New York!
