You need to come try a slice!! Or better yet, a whole pie! This is a local place, owned by a 50yr+ resident. The vibe when it’s sunny is warm and welcoming, the pricing is the best for the quality in the area, and don’t sleep on the Breakfast Burrito- the surfers favorite. Support a Venice small business, eat here (or delivery).

Great pizza (and I'm from New York)! The only issue is, a soda is advertised to the public at $4, yet I was charged $5 which, aside from being an overly-high price for a 16 oz. fountain soda, which I would not pay again, was contrary to listed price. The woman assisting me was kind but indicated she did not know how to fix its coming up in the system as $5 instead of the listed price of $4. Management: adjust the price in your computer system to the appropriate $4. That aside, the pizza is great ($5/$6 a slice, but that is the norm here) and staff friendly. Also, I love fountain soda with pizza. Just fix the price in your system.

The Lucky Lu pizza and crispy tartar tuna bites were both great. The service was fast and everyone there was very friendly and turned a quick pizza stop into a really fun dinner. The patio was great for a summer evening after the beach.

I had an amazing experience at this pizza restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors. The pizza crust was crispy on the outside yet soft inside, and every bite tasted authentic and full of quality. The service was friendly and attentive, making the entire visit enjoyable from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for top-notch pizza and a great dining experience.

We ordered the Farmer Veggie slice and the Mushroom pizza slice for the table, and both were excellent. The cheese was rich and flavorful, and the overall quality really stood out. On the side, we had thick-cut fries which was fine. I’d definitely go back just for the pizza. We also ordered lemonade, which was refreshing and paired well with the meal.

This patio is exactly what this stretch of Washington needed in Venice! Great, chill outdoor patio bar. The bar is beer and wine only. Food was good - tried the meat lover’s and veggie slices, broccoli salad side, and the tuna tartare bites. The broccoli salad was my favorite. Would have liked to have more toppings on the pizza. Will definitely be back to try more!

Love this new pizza spot on Washington! Ordered a whole pie, did half the veggie and half a pepperoni. Perfect for 2 with leftovers. Nice open dining area, TV with Dodgers game on, music playing and lots of people watching. Will be back
