This place was recommended to us as one of the finest pizza restaurants in Santa Monica. As it was close to where we were staying it was very convenient. First thing to say is the pizza is fabulous. Perhaps the best I've eaten. The atmosphere was lively and the the beer was also great. So why just three out of... More

The pizza was perfect -- thin crust, pepperoni with the right amount of kick! Our waitress, Kaitlynn, was helpful, prompt, and cheerful (she even made sure the TV's were switched to the Chicago Blackhawks game at our request!). Save room for dessert: the chocolate chip cookie with sea salt, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was h-e-a-v-e-n! Enough... More

We saw a video on YouTube on how they prepare the pizza dough. They let it rise for three days. This technique allows the dough to become very light and airy. So the crust is very crunchy and yet light. TGhey offer red and white pizzas.

We ordered 2 pizzas - one with salami and another with mushrooms. They were both delicious! Also had a brussel spout appetizer. It was so delicious, we ordered another! They only take reservations for parties of 6 or more, so we had to wait 1/2 hour. Well worth the wait. It was busy (and loud) for a thursday night. The... More

Their own wood fire oven- lots of choices. Can get crowded and loud but you can see your typical santa monica cool people here. Also good wine and beer selections. I like

Great Service. Great Pizza. Everything tasted so good. When we couldn't decide between two kinds of pizza, the server said she could make it half and half!

Great atmosphere, delish food, excellent service. You can't go wrong here whether you are with family (small kids) or with a group of friends. Great beer selection. M street market is excellent as well. Coffee is from Chicago, great cookies, muffins and breakfast sandwiches.

What a find... Which I would not have known about without my niece who is local and her review of the place. I am not kidding when I say that the white pizza with a sunny side up egg is something to write home about (or brag about in this review).

This is hands down, hands up, hands sideways one of the top three pies I've ever tasted. I love gruyere and mushrooms, and their pairing on this perfectly thin crust with melted onions and truffle oil succeeded. I only wish we had ordered two of these, since I had to share with the wife. Her choice, the original tomato pie,... More

Great food and friendly wait staff. Found this place through an online search while in Santa Monica for a few days. Arrived at the beginning of the dinner hour mid-week; place filled up quickly within minutes of our arrival. The wait staff was prompt and helpful. We took her recommendation of the Butternut Squash and Bacon pizza and were very... More
