Met some friends here at Caioti Pizza Cafe for lunch and to catch up. Located in the Tujunga Village area of Studio City, California this place fits right in with the independent/mom&pop restaurant and has retail shops. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of tables and if you want to work on your laptop there space to do that as well. We were greeted by a friendly waitress/barista who gave us the Caioti menu. They serve pastries, coffees, lunch and dinner! I ordered an iced tea as well as the delicious beet salad and added chicken. There's even a salad on the menu that's supposed to induce pregnant women to give birth. So ladies if your baby has not come out on the 9th month due date...try Caioti's specialty salad! The place is very rustic and chill. The only discrepancy is...there's a grandparent couple that brings their 2 grandchildren in and the older little boy loves to scream and run throughout the restaurant. The acoustics are so good here that his screams are amplified and the grandparents do not try to reprimand the little boy. Thank goodness they ordered their food to go. Definitely go. There's metered parking and parking in the residential areas. I'm going to be back to try their pizzas! read more

Indeed, it is 4.5 for me, just the acoustic of the place with a big family with children is a little bit loud. The vibe is cool, the service is nice, and the pizza is delicious. Good to meet friends. Or, go yourself for a coffee. They have tables outside. read more

I'm a big fan of this restaurant. I've ordered from them four times now, and I have yet to be disappointed. I've tried several of their pizzas, and each one has been cooked perfectly. I've also had the Caprese salad, a chicken dish (unfortunately, I don't remember the name), and their tater tots, and everything has been delicious. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Came here for a last minute brunch with the girls and we enjoyed it. It's very simple and chill inside, nothing to dress up for. The food was good also, it did the job. read more

I would not be caught dead eating a salad if I didn't have to, but this place somehow does it and I was happy about it. Caioti is a place we've passed by so many times, it really makes you wonder why I didn't stop sooner. While I ordered their bbq chicken pizza and only had a sampling of a salad from my partner, the kale in the salad was delicious, I'm more confused than anything, simply because I'm unsure of the magic required to make me rave about a salad of all things. The flavors of all the food feel robust, and worth plenty of praise too. Overall, my only regret is not having come here sooner, I may turn over a new leaf and start eating salad if it can taste like this. Cheers. read more

Service was good, cafe layout is good. However I'm kinda disappointed about the food. The garlic knots were decent but tasted like they were just warmed up not made fresh. The salad was not good. And the pasta (I believe penne alla vodka?) it tasted like something that someone could easily make at home it was watery and had barely had taste to it. Overall pretty average place; not the worst but not the best either. read more

Summary: Food for me was 3 stars but service and ambiance was 4 stars therefore overall 4 stars. Pricing was pretty competitive with portions ($15.50 for my plate which kept me fueled for 6+ hours.) Got brunch with friend. Ordered Greek scramble with tater tots instead of standard potatoes on the side, and a cappuccino. Scramble was ok, although I did like the touch of kalamata olives. Added good flavor. Tater tots were awesome and the cappuccino pretty good as well. Staff were very friendly. I liked the interior of the cafe; cute place to hang. I think if I were to come again I'd probably aim to do a lunch and try the pizza instead to get a better sense of the food quality. read more

Had an excellent breakfast at Caioti - it's so easy to forget this place exists when Aroma is just down the block, but after seeing the very long line at Aroma, we changed to Caioti. My friend and I got the Mateo's breakfast pizza, and the Rizz omelette with tots. The breakfast pizza was fantastic - I had randomly had a breakfast pizza elsewhere the previous day that had been such a flavorless disappointment, but this one was delicious. The omelette was solid, and had lovely full cloves of roasted garlic hidden inside, and the tots were delicious. Service was friendly. read more

I had the bison meat pizza!! Grilled onions topped this cheesy and delicious master piece. The flavor was perfect and they're gonna tell you for the price. You really don't find a lot of places like this, but I had to have a bowl of the lentil soup. My companion enjoyed the iced coffee and it was delicious. The seating area is large and perfect for large parties or families and then out front. You can enjoy outdoor seating with a nice little fenced in area. I was very impressed. I enjoyed the pizza tremendously. The meat was flavored and seasoned perfectly. read more

Im 40 weeks + 5 pregnant and decided to come here to try THE salad! I'll update in the progress but wanted to leave a good review since I was super surprised with the food and service! The inducing salad is good - a little harsh after a while but doable. Ordered the breakfast sandwich which was delicious and the service was so good! Paul was our server and he was so kind! Loved the vibe here and having my bay come on time will be such a bonus. read more

This is my 2nd negative review in a month. I want to like this cafe...I really do. My friend had the pizza and it was very good. However, the turkey burger was not. The bun was so thick, it over powered the turkey burger which I never did get the taste of...it came with avocado however sloppy huge chunks, rather than thin slices. I think there was Gruyere Cheese, which was the selling point for me but alas, could not taste it...I'm sure it was there. I had to take off the top of the bun and eat open it face and it was still a chunky, tasteless mound of carbs with no fulfilling experience. Amateurish presentation at best///or worst? Not sure third time is a charm, in this case. I do hope that management/chef reads this....he should know better!! read more

I always enjoy the build-your-own pizza and the variety of pasta options available. There are plenty of seats, the staff is always welcoming, and the ambience is laid-back and chill, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. read more

This place is a must go. Had brunch here this morning and truthfully, we were walking by to eat at Aroma Cafe but stumbled across the menu at Caioti and wanted to check it out. I'm glad we did because this is so much better than Aroma. Our wonderful server, Gloria, welcomed and took care of us. She recommended the foods and drinks we ordered and they were absolutely delicious. Lobster Ravioli $22.95 - 5/5 Corn Beef Hash $15.45 - 4/5 I cannot get over how tasty the lobster ravioli was. It was coated in chipotle cream which complimented the seafood very well. Overall, the dining experience was great. It wasn't loud, plenty seating, bathroom is clean. The only thing is parking can be scarce. I can't wait to dine here again. read more

I should probably have ordered a pizza her but for some reason I chose the Chinese chicken salad and was disappointed. It was made with kale that was really hard to chew and the grilled chicken on top smelled of their gas stove. The dressing was ok but overall very disappointing. I fixed that by ordering myself a delicious scone and cappuccino. The location is great, the service is great with great atmosphere. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. I'll be back to try their pizzas and pastas and sandwiches soon. read more

If you're looking for a nice and easy meal anytime of day this is the place to go! We like to sit outside and watch the Studio City crowd walk by on weekends. Service is always good and the food is reliable. Nothing out of this world food wise just your typical pizza, pasta, salads, sandwiches but like I said before, reliable. Also a good place to meet someone for breakfast or lunch since there's usually plenty of places to sit without needing reservations. There's also a kids menu. read more

I went on Sunday (Aroma line too long). I ordered the chopped salad/half. It was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised. My friend got the Chocolate Hazelnut French toast and said it was good. I would give the review 5 stars if they gave me a fresh iced tea when I asked for a to go cup. I wasn't refreshed with iced tea while seated and that would have been a nice touch. read more

A friend and I went on Super Bowl Sunday! Lots of take-out orders. We chose to dine-in. A small, cute space - nothing outrageous in terms of decor - nice and functional. I hadn't been to Caioti in years - not since its (and my) time in Laurel Canyon. There is something about a great pizza that truly satisfies. We shared the sausage pizza and the beet & goat cheese salad. Perfect. Delicious. (For those not in the know, this is the place that originated the bbq chicken pizza.) read more

I've been eating here for over a decade but the last year their food has gone way down. I ordered a pizza and salad through the worst delivery app on the planet, but the only one they use (slice) and the pizza arrived the size of a small with no sauce. Honestly, frozen pizza is better. I'm not even sure what this crust is, but it's bad!! I've been debating not ordering from them again. Today clinched it. Do not recommend !! read more

I rarely give any cafe one star bc how bad can you mess up coffee? Coffee bland. Chai latte was made from those premade boxes. Bagel took over 25 minutes to come out. Felt like someone forgot to serve it bc it was cold even though it was toasted. Will never be back here. read more

OMG THE BEST BEST BEST. My husband used to eat here all the time back in the '80s when it was in...Laurel Canyon? The food is FANTASTIC!! Why isn't the rating higher?! What's wrong with you people?! The pizzas are FANTASTIC. My favourite is the salsiccia. And the "labour" salad!! People, please don't think you've got to be a pregnant lady nearing/past her due date (and OVER IT) to eat this delicious salad!!!!! I. LOVE. IT. And so does anyone else I've brought it to. Ok...and get this...I live in Palos Verdes and Caioti is in Studio City!! That's a looong way to go to get pizza. We've got to come up with excuses...basically, buy synthesisers at Perfect Circuit nearby in Burbank...in order to come up with an excuse to get the only pizza I ever want to eat. We're going to go broke and run out of space in the house. THE. BEST. PIZZA. in LA. read more

ughh I'm reminiscing a this place already!! lol super cute area around little shops. The service was incredible! Very caring!

leaving 4 stars because this place has a lot of potential, prime location and decent food . highly recommend adding a wifi, tune up the A.C, brighten up the space a bit, and make it appeal to coffee shop patrons. nearby coffee shops are always full and this would be a great hangout and brunch spot read more

Delicious Italian restaurant in Studio City. Apparently one salad, called The The Salad, has made multiple women go into labor but i wasn't looking to have a kid so I got the Chopped Salad instead which was very sizeable ($15). I also tasted the grilled beet salad which was equally yummy. The Pesto Fusilli was creamy and garlicky goodness. Also tried their pizza. Everything was top notch and sitting outside was pleasant without too much traffic on a Sunday. read more

Au revoir, old friend. Been a long time loyal customer, they got my order wrong and instead of just refunding me, generously offered another pizza if I drove the 20 minutes back to pick it up -- as long as I didn't eat the one I had. Sad to see it empty on a Friday night, but I see why, and with other gourmet pizza places much closer, they just cost themselves a lot of future business. read more

What a great hole in the wall neighborhood cafe! The garlic knots are AMAZING! I might have even just made that my meal had I known they were so delicious. My friend and I decided that we just wanted to order all of the appetizers and have those for dinner. My favorite standout app for the night (aside from dem bomb knots) was the caprese salad drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette. Parking was easy for a Monday evening. There's tandem parking behind the building from the alley but be sure not to park in the neighbors stalls. Parking would probably be tough if there's a play next door. read more

*3.5 stars Well unfortunately "The Salad" doesn't work for everyone ! My gf is currently 39 weeks and we were hoping this concoction worked to help go to labor but IT FAILED!! However the reason for my *3.5 star rating is due to the unorganized customer service, servers were all over the place , yelling at eachother as they seem confused on who was helping who!!they were very forgetful and would go missing for awhile Overall the food was quite flavorful, the salsa they serve aside the bfast burrito is highly recommended, not to spicy , good authentic taste with a bit of a kick to it !! My gf really liked the French toast, had good flavor not too bland or too sweet , just right !!! The scenery is nice, and is a cute Little set up !!!! WE WISH THE SALAD WAS AS EFFECTIVE TO MY GF AS IT WAS TO OTHER PREGNANT WOMEN!! Lol read more

Simple luncheon on a hot day in Studio city at Caioti Pizza Cafe. My 3rd time here and this place is very consistent. Food is excellent, and the service we received by Lucy was fantastic.

This place was recommended to me by a coworker as I was about 39 weeks pregnant at the time. He said they had a myth that one of their salads induced labor. When I reached 40 weeks my husband and I thought "eh, why not? Let's give it a try" and decided to check it out. We got the "The Salad", the Salsiccia pizza, and the lobster ravioli to go. We were so excited to try the food as it smelled so good on the way home. Salad - dressing was great! I personally like vinaigrettes so plus for me. It was a simple salad with romaine, walnuts, and cheese. I'm told the dressing was what helped induce labor supposedly. Lobster ravioli - O.M.G. Would definitely drive back just for this. The sauce was so good! I would compare it to being similar to Mama D's in Newport. Plenty of lobster and shrimp and the avocado slices were a nice touch. Salsiccia pizza - thin pizzas can be a hit or miss for me. But they made this so well! The crust was nice and crunchy, but still soft enough where there's a chew. Loved the sausage and mushroom combo. I am now almost 41 weeks pregnant so I guess the salad didn't work on me lol. But the food was so good! Will definitely be back to try their breakfast and the rest of their dinner menu. read more

We came here because I wanted to naturally induce my labor so figured I'd try the famous labor induction salad!!! It unfortunately did not work but the salad was really delicious. The dressing is apparently the magic worker and I had two sides of it, but I still didn't go into labor on my own. We also ordered a pizza with artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes, and it was absolutely perfect. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the valley who wants a good salad or pizza. There are a bunch of cute shops around the area and coffee spots that looked really cute to explore!! read more

I'm always perplexed about some of the reviews....The menu has remained the same essentially since they first moved onto Tujunga from Laurel Canyon.. no issues there. to be fair, i've been there only 5 times over the last 18 or so years, only once with a 100% good experience in both food and service. and not that they need my business anywho, but won't be going back. i was there for lunch and the service was awful, the dressing for the Caesar salad tasted like Bottled Cardelli gone bad, and the diced chicken was literally inedible.... hard and could even chew it. there were only 5 tables sat, parties or 2 and 3, and the waiter had to be flagged for any and all attention. the times i've been for dinner, have always disappointed (since the passing of the Owner/Chef). but they do well enough that they expanded their space not so long ago. good on them read more

The food was simply beyond awful. The prices were completely outrageous for such low quality fare. How can you get a BLT with avocado wrong? Some of the worst food I've ever had. Really. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out why this place was empty. The only reason why it does any business is because Aroma Café next-door is always crowded. Duh.... cuz their food doesn't suck? What I find fascinating are the five star reviews here. Either these folks don't have taste buds or they have very low standards. The server was very nice. I don't hold her responsible. read more

It was my first time here. We ordered the Asian chicken salad and chicken pesto sandwich. The chicken on my salad was very dry and had a weird old taste to it so I ended up just eating the lettuce and oranges. Very disappointing. My partner tried the sandwich and said it was inedible due to the chicken so he ended up throwing the whole thing out. I can't speak to the rest of the menu since this was all we ordered but I HIGHLY recommend avoided anything with chicken. Staff was nice and plenty of seating. read more

Overall not a great experience, came here because the line at Aroma was too long but now I know I should have just waited to order at Aroma. At least the service was good and they didn't mess up the fruit plate. read more
