Chef Brandon Gray, the mastermind behind Brandoni Pepperoni, offers up a unique dining experience that fits perfectly into our new normal. The website is simple: Select any of the tasty "zas," text your order 1-2 days in advance, pay via Venmo, and pick up behind the WeHo landmark, Formosa Cafe, off of Santa Monica Blvd. On this visit, I chose to go with the "Victory Lap" (Red Sauce, Jidori Chicken, House Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Mozzarella) and the "Dear Momma" (Basil Tofu, Sungold Tomatoes, Squash, Lemon Sorrel, New Zealand Spinach). Next, I texted the number on the website and told them my name and the date and time I wanted to pick up. The return communication was smooth and straightforward. They confirm your order the day of and request Venmo payment for a smooth transaction. Upon arrival, located at 7100 Santa Monica Boulevard behind the historic Formosa Cafe, I pulled into several pick up spots near a loading dock and texted my information that I was on site. A few minutes later, Chef Brandon emerged, mask and pizzas in hand, and delivered them to my car window. He told me to enjoy and left his business card (see attached photo). I couldn't wait to get home. Both pizzas were incredible. Fresh and tasty. The dough is soft and wonderful. The Victory Lap was packed with flavor and the sauce was delicious. Dear Momma was also quite unique. A healthy option, the colorful ingredients did not disappoint and the pesto was spot on. Although a bit pricier than a standard pizza, these artisan pies are definitely worth it. You almost feel like part of a select secret club that is hidden in Los Angeles, and I'm all for it. read more

Brandoni Pepperoni - Chef Brandon is an Artist. - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

You haven't lived until you've had Brandoni pizza. This was our first time trying Brandoni. We were looking for a black owned restaurant we hadn't tried before to support on Juneteenth (and forever after) and we were truly blown away by the artistry that was served to us in a pizza box. When we ordered we didn't realize they didn't open until 4, but luckily it wasn't a huge wait. We texted them and they were extremely responsive and even asked if we wanted to add anything to the pizza (since we asked for no artichoke) and added extra cheese for free. They also threw in a free container of 'sprinkle me on everything' for the wait and thank god they did! we didn't know what we were missing. We were kind of confused when we first pulled up because it's just an apartment complex, but the confirmation text we got reassured us we were in the right place. We got the eazy duz it salad and the big bank pizza. The salad was great, the dressing was awesome (i bet it would be really great with some honey). The pizza was mind blowing, truly, honestly, literally, genuinely, mind blowing. We drove here from the antelope valley, and we will happily make the drive again solely for brandoni. read more

The sides were creative and flavorful. But the pizza was simply OK. I'd give a solid 4 stars for the sides but since this is a pizza spot at it's heart, I'm weighting it toward the pizza. read more

I picked up pizza from here yesterday and everything was five stars. 1) Ordering via text was straightforward. However, I recommend putting in your order at least a day ahead because this place is popular! 2) Pick-up was right on time, and the shopping center has an easily accessible area to park your car while you wait for your order to come out fresh from the oven. 3) The pizza was delicious! I can't remember the last time I had crust that was this flavorful and chewy (in the best way). The toppings were also very creative, high quality, and so so good. All around, happy I had a chance to try out this new artisanal pizza spot in West Hollywood. read more

Ok, so I just had the pleasure of trying Mr. Brandoni Pepperoni AND let me tell you...superb! Magnifico! Delicioso! I mean how many ways can I say how much I loved it. We had the FRIDAY (pepperoni with lemon Ricotta) which was unique but yet still that yummy classic taste. Next, came the PINEAPPLE (pepperoni with pineapple and chili flakes) which was equally delicious. i highly recommend coming out and trying these pies. i consider my self some what of a pizza fanatic, and this might be one of my favorite Neapolitan style pies in LA. And Brandon is a cool dude too, he immediately recognized my love for pizza just off my old school Ninja Turtle shirt. COWABUNGA my people and check his spot out. Peace & Love read more

Gimmicky- I fell for the gimmick of feeling like "I was in the know". It was all right, nothing phenomenal as all the reviews would suggest. And frankly for the price, not to mention "no choice" at checkout but to tip, not worth the effort or money. Pizza was pretty to look at, all right to eat, small for price you pay. The Wings were also average. Stingy on sauce. read more

My friend told me about a place where you ordered pizza online and a guy came out with your pizza from some apartment complex when you rolled up. Sounded kind of odd but she said he made great pizzas. So I ordered "I got 5 on it" and "Friday." Each pizza was around $20 give or take and would probably feed 1.5 person. You can only order pizza between 4-8pm Thursday through Sunday online, choosing one of the open time slots for pickup. Brandoni's only accepts Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or Cash. Once you order, you're notified that your order is complete. An automated text message then notifies you that the order has been confirmed and depending on on your chosen payment method, tells you how to complete your order/payment. I received a non automated text from Brandon to confirm ETA and to text the make and model of my car once I got to the location. He gave me a heads up to let me know he had moved and it was the first day at the new location. Google took us to some back alley and it ended up being on the wrong side of the road but Brandon found us. I think he's located out of an office building now. Both pizzas were good but I liked "I got 5 on it" more than "Friday" which is more of the traditional pepperoni pizza with lemon ricotta. "I got 5 on it" had lots of flavor, especially if you like different cheeses. His other pizzas sound great so maybe I'll be more adventurous next time. Overall, good pizza and Brandon is a really nice guy. A bit pricey but I feel like eating out is in general. Definitely a place to check out. read more

When I realized that pick up is just a few blocks away from me, I had to try this place out. Smooth ordering and pre-payment via mobile, I pulled up in front at my scheduled pick up time, parked, texted a description of my car and in moments Brandon himself was standing outside my car pizza boxes in hand. My neighbor and I enjoyed two absolutely beautiful vegetarian pies (I didn't want to choose so decided to hold impromptu pizza party - highly recommend this strategy). Tasty, sprinkled with edible flowers, cooked to perfection. I'm going back for a special salmon pizza tonight - can't wait! read more

This a genuine mom&pop operation earning its reputation one pie at a time...with Brandon himself running pizzas out to cars. You know a pizza is great when you can't stop eating until you've polished off the whole thing (and yes, I was sober). This stands up to the best pies I've had in L.A. The "Colors" pizza I got tasted authentically Italian, with a flawless balance of flavors and textures. I was expecting something new and gimmicky, but this is serious pizza! read more

If you're reading this and haven't eaten here, stop screwing up. You having not ordered Brandoni is a mistake, but you can correct it. We had the wings with the best blue cheese that's ever existed in the history of the planet. The Only thing I don't like about the pizza is that there's no more of it in this box cause I ate it all. read more

I've gotten takeout from Brandon 4 times now and literally everything I've had has been delicious. The Eazy-Duz-It salad, the Friday, the Born and Raised (my fiance's and my favorite), the Victory Lap, the wings, the tiramisu, the sprinkle me sauce - literally *everything*. And the cookies! Don't sleep on the cookies. I consider myself a cookie snob and these are some of the best chocolate chip cookies I've had in LA - slightly crispy edges, chewy center, with a light dusting of salt on top for that perfect balance of salty and sweet. I'm sometimes tempted to just order these alone when I'm in the mood for a nighttime snack. Ordering for curbside pickup is super chill, and luckily I've never had a problem doing same day pickup, though I normally try to text at least a couple of hours in advance if I'm trying to pick up same day. Brandon's an equally chill, super nice dude and his Michelin-starred training comes through in all aspects of his business - from customer service, menu variety (which can be vegan friendly if you ask!), high quality ingredients, even all the way down to his pizza boxes, which if you look carefully enough, has a dude with a sharpie'd on beard to match his beard. The attention to detail is unreal for what could otherwise be seen as just your everyday pizza place. But this isn't your everyday pizza place - it's way, way better. Support this Black-owned, veteran-owned business and I promise you, you won't regret it! read more

Let me start by saying the service here is awesome and ordering could not be easier! Just text them with your order and you get a quick response back. They even offer a pre-cooked option if you're coming from farther away which allows you to finish baking the pizza in your own oven for ooey, gooey, cheesy perfection. I love that they're so thoughtful that way! It totally worked for me cause I had a long drive. Then, text once you get there and they bring it right out to your car. I got the Way 2 Fonky with tons of flavorful mushrooms piled on top. The crust is crunchy and chewy in all the right places. The only hard part about this place was deciding which pizza I wanted to try! read more

We loved the 1st round of Za's following week, went back for more. Steady Mobbin, Way 2 Fonky and Twist my Finger. Mushroom we loved. Hubby could not get enough of the onion confit. Steady Mobbin was really good and different with lemon ricotta. I really wanted to love Octopus on Pizza, it was good, sauce was special, almost like a curry flavor. Brandon text to confirm order, I mentioned I was coming from Burbank, he asked if he would like him to par bake and then I could finish baking in my oven at 360 for 10 min. When he delivered pizzas in the car, he separated the herb toppings, so I could add them myself and they would not wilt. Za's turned out fantastic. I will order za's this way from now on. This time I had left overs, reheat and za's were even tastier. Chef gifted us chocolate chip cookies for the kids. We will be ordering again soon. Thanks Chef Brandon. read more

This city has tons of pizza restaurants and I had read about Brandon's and it was the best pizza I've had. The crust and amount of sauce was on target and I even had some left over after I had shared it with my sister. I asked for a few pieces of basil but there wasn't any. The cheese was also tasty. read more

AMAZING!!! This pizZa hit every tastebud in the most perfect ways! Brandon is an amazing culinary artist that has perfected the art of pizza making. The ingredients are A1 and it's hard to just call these artisanal creations "pizza". I will recommend Brandoni Pepperoni a million times over; if you want non-greasy, healthy, tasty pizza. It's hard to find tasty vegan pizza and Brandon found a way to create a specialty. This is a winner!! read more

Picked up my Brandoni Pepperoni pizza from Brandon himself(!!!) in West Hollywood. I ordered this one-of-a-kind Black Truffle Persian Mulberry Ricotta Pizza Pie at 9am PT (the day before) on the dot and it was sold out mere seconds after. Aside from this delicious pizza, proceeds go to 2 important organizations who are dedicated to fight for racial justice in Los Angeles and across the nation-- Black Lives Matter Los Angeles and The Gathering for Justice read more

The easiest pick up system I've ever encountered - you just text him (day before to be safe) and drive up and Brandon hands you the pizza. Customer service is amazing, the pizza is seriously the greatest one I've ever had in my life - got the steady mobbin (lemon ricotta, squash blossom, zucchini combo is insane). Highly recommend, thanks Brandon!! read more

Found out about this spot early in the pandemic and been hooked since, through 3 different locations. Great selection of pizza, all with names tied to LA/West Coast hip hop. Recently tried the Buffalo wings, which IMO beat most places that specialize in wings. Lastly, Brandon himself has a very personal touch with customers. All around amazing experience!!! read more

My roommate was dying to try this place after seeing pictures and reviews. Luckily, we got a pie the same day we called due to another group's cancelation. The pick up spot was a little hard to find, but Brandon came right out when we texted. Super friendly. The "Regulate" was delicious - light, crispy, and herby. And it was a great size for 2 people (or 3-4 if you get a side/salad). We'll definitely be ordering from here again! Gotta try the other options... read more

Brandoni is awesome. It feels like an amazing combination of a world-class chef and a dedicated home cook. The artistry and dedication to ingredients and details shine through, but it feels like it was cooked by a good friend just for you. The signature pie is outstanding, and we were blown away by la Cheba cheba special. I was wondering how those ingredients would hold up on a pie, and it was truly phenomenal. I dont mean to get all gushy, but like seriously this is so good and I want to see this dude continue to thrive. Also. Sprinkle me. Order that sauce, put it on everything forever. I'm obsessed. Ordering more tonight. read more

Absolutely excellent! You will never be satisfied with any other pizza again after you get a taste of the delicious creativity served from Brandoni Pepperoni!

Also, he's a really nice guy! Not only are his pizzas delectable, but they are beautiful too. His ingredients are fresh, innovative, and very tasty.

The pizzas were delicious, and ordering via text message was simple. Maybe plan a day ahead to order, because last minute ordering is not guaranteed to get the pick up time you need. The ingredients are all very fresh and mixed well together, and the Sprinkle Me Everywhere sauce is perfect for the crust and ... I had a lot left over I used it to spruce up some pasta I made at home a few days later.. it was so good. The pizza dough is airy and chewy and kept well the next day too. The pickup location is right behind Target in the loading zone. Brandon seems like a nice guy, and I will definitely be ordering again in the future. read more

The attention to detail Brandoni puts in his pizza is worth every penny and morsel of praise. From the deliciously chewy dough- clearly made by the hands of a true pizza maker, quality ingredients like Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes and farmers market produce, bomb ass sauce that has you licking the container wanting more, right down to the hand drawn beard on every box. West Hollywood needed a gem like this, no frills, quality service, and product. This is the type food that brings you joy. I will be ordering often! Brandoni, grazieoni for your past service of our country and your current service of our bellies! read more

I read about this place in the LA Times and told my wife, who is a huge pizza fan. I am only a grudging pizza person after having been served too many cold, soggy slices of Domino's as bogus second meals on indy movie shoots, when it was late and I was dog tired but had to be back to work ASAP. I have rarely enjoyed pizza since those cold, late nights a time long ago. But the pizza from this chef was a revelation. Everything about it was super flavorful. And the crust was particularly good too. My wife's pizza was great as well. This dude is an artist and his pizza is so good it made me like it again. read more

Brandon's Pizza is amazing. All throughout this COVID 19 shutdown he has been making pizza pies for the community at large. We get at least one pizza from him every week and cannot provide a better review. The taste is amazing the texture is perfect the ingredients are fresh and Brandon's attitude is 100%. Don't be shy, try one of each over a few weekends and you will not be disappointed. Plus that merch is pretty cool. read more
