De La Nonna might honestly be my favorite upscale Italian spot in LA. It's such a cute little place with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the music is always a banger which adds to the vibe. We started with the Caesar salad and the burrata with focaccia--honestly, that burrata with oranges is AMAZING and a must-order. For pizza, we got the white and pepperoni, and both were so good. You can really taste the quality. We also had the tiramisu for dessert, which was the perfect way to end the meal. Only downside is they charge a health insurance fee, which kind of sucks--but overall, the food, atmosphere, and experience definitely make it worth it. read more

My boss ordered some pizzas from this place few month ago and I liked it at that time. We visited there in person, the atmosphere and inside decor was pretty on point. We liked the table set up as well as knife and fork from 1920s, White and Pepperoni was our choice as recommended by the server. White was fresh and tasty while pepperoni was kinda heavy with a lot of oil and sodium read more

Pizzas were all very tasty. I think my favorite was the smoked salmon one. A bit salty but it was a good balance with the dough. Eggplant sandwich was also very tasty. Good flavor and the bread is so good! We sat outside and it was nice to have the patio area to ourselves. I love the decor here We made a reservation but we didn't have to. Friday for lunch wasn't busy read more

Came here with a large group and thought the food and drinks were very good, but unfortunately the service was quite disappointing for a couple of reasons. - Half of our party arrived first and were hungry so we wanted to order some dishes, but the waitress said she could not put in any food orders until everyone was there. She shortly then brought out some bread (that we did not order) "since we were hungry"--as if it were complimentary--but turns out they charged us for this. - My friend wanted to order one of the cocktails but the waitress said they were "out of it", so she ordered something else. Shortly after, some others in our group were able to order it...so that was confusing. - The bill paying machine was brought to the table and I was shown the total and told there was already a 20% tip included for the large party. What I was not told (that I later saw on the receipt) was that there was also another 3% fee that I could ask to have removed (but too late because I wasn't told about it). - They also offered dipping sauces but did not inform us there was a charge for each of these, and in general it was hard to flag someone down when we needed something. Felt like they were not transparent which is not a good feeling to have as a customer. I just wish the service matched the quality of the food. read more

it's like a... Upscale Italian Urth Caffe! You order at the register and they give you a number like Urth Caffe. Then you pick your choice of seating and your food will be delivered. The oysters were delicious and fresh. The Diet Coke was on the pricey end but they prepare it extra cold and a cup of ice on the side. The market salad was very tangy. The portion was just right. Would come again for a quick solo bite or to linger on a casual summer evening. read more

Our friends took us here to celebrate me finding a wedding dress. We went right when it opened, so street parking was very easy to find. We were also sat very quickly and had enough room for a party of 6. We loved the decor of the place! Our server was also prompt and very nice. The food was delicious. I absolutely loved the burrata, the frozen spritz, and the ceasar salad. The pepperoni pizza was also a hitter as well. Everything we tried was flavorful, so you can go wrong with what you pick. Would come here again! read more

This place is fantastic. I love the vibes of the interior and outdoor patio. My only gripe is how loud the music is inside. I'm so glad we chose to sit outside but the inside is so gorgeous that the music really drowns out the aesthetic. We started with the kanpachi crudo which was pretty disappointing. The sauce was a basic lime citrus, there was hardly a sesame flavor and the pomegranates didn't add much. The kanpachi was way too firm and not a softer meat like it should be and lacked flavor itself. But the saving grace was the star of the show - the pizzas. We ordered a margherita nonna style and the market special which today was the carbonara. the crust on both is phenomenal! So crispy crunchy on the exterior with a chewy airy interior that is doughy but light. It's truly a fantastic crust. The margherita was executed perfectly but the nonna style which is just a calabrian chili paste on top isn't really worth the $2 extra. It's a decent flavor but not so much that it's needed. And that carbonara special was to die for. The golden yolks perfect to creamy perfection, the super crunchy lardon with that meaty taste, the cheesy richness of the sauce, slight kick from the pepper - this was outstanding. So although a few minor mishaps, the pizza is amazing and I would return over and over again for that read more

De La Nonna was such a cool and fun experience! The space is very intimate. A cozy little pocket of LA that feels more like someone's stylish backyard dinner party than a restaurant. Inside, warm wood tones and soft lighting give it that effortless "Italian neighborhood spot" energy, while leafy plants and creeping vines blur the line between indoors and outdoors. Step outside and it continues: garden vibes everywhere, communal tables, string lights, and that casual hum of people genuinely enjoying themselves. It's the kind of place you'd bring a date, your friends, or honestly just yourself and a glass of wine. Service here is friendly and refreshingly unpretentious. Quick heads up: you order at the counter rather than traditional table service. But, the staff actually knows the menu. They're happy to walk you through the items, explain flavor profiles, and give recommendations without making you feel rushed. It feels collaborative rather than transactional. Pepp Pizza (4.5/5). This pepperoni pizza was phenomenal. The pepperonis were perfectly crisped at the edges, giving that addictive little snap and curl that adds both texture and depth. The crust deserves its own moment; light, airy, and not dense or doughy. You can eat multiple slices without feeling weighed down, which is extremely dangerous. And please, do yourself a favor and add the hot honey. That drizzle of sweet heat cuts through the richness and elevates the pizza. It's not overpowering, it just lingers in the best way. I'd absolutely come back to work my way through the rest of their pizzas. Love this place! read more

My boyfriend and I made reservations here for Valentine's Day. The service was great, I was honestly impressed by the service. The food came out quickly and the servers were quick to respond despite it being a very busy day. The highlight of the meal was definitely the pizza. You would think that a pizza is so basic, how could it ever go wrong. However, the crunchy and delicious crust was honestly the star of the show. The hot honey sauce is a must! It brought that extra kick and flavor. Overall, De La Nonna is a great place to go for its ambience, cute interior, and amazing food. I highly recommend. read more

Beautiful restaurant and spectacular vibes! The restaurant itself is beautiful that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the White Pizza and the Pepperoni. The dough itself is on the thicker side and the portions are huge! You'll definitely get full on 1 slice. I also ordered the oysters which were very fresh as expected. The service was fine. This restaurant requires you to order and pay at the front rather than a traditional sit and order restaurant. Overall, a beautiful restaurant with great dishes. Can't wait to come back to try their other pizzas! read more

Let's talk about focaccia! Just driving by on a Saturday and hungry. Found them on Yelp and it was on our way to our destination. Cute, open garden vibes is very laid back dress code. The sweetest host greeted us and recommended maybe, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a looong time. It didn't stop there. The Margarita pizza "à la nonna" was mouth watering. The airy and crunchy but soft focaccia was so deliciously unexpected. I'm still thinking about it! read more

The cheesy crunchy crust is to die for here, as is the hot honey and the spicy tomato sauce with the meatballs. Service is pretty quick, everyone has been nice and welcoming in the two times I've been here. Easy to get a seat on without reservations mid-week, bathrooms were clean. Ambience - casual disco vibes! The caesar salad was refreshing and light, but had a slightly stale aftertaste for the dressing, not sure what was going on there. Still delicious though, and a huge serving size. Could do with more layers and less chocolate shavings in the tiramisu, but we still ate it all Parking: Street and metered read more

We stopped by for happy hour on Saturday, and in the future we will definitely make a reservation, but they were nice enough to find us a table. Initially we started tabs at the counter and then servers were very attentive and would take our orders from the table. The vibes are great, good music, cute place, and every single thing we had was delicious. I ordered the kampachi crudo with green strawberries and basil, and not only was it super tasty it was presented like a beautiful little pond. I wish I had taken a photo of it. The Nonna pizza is a perfect pizza. The kitchen gifted us a pepperoni pizza which was also fab. Between the good food, ambience, and tasty drinks, we will definitely be back. read more

My partner and I came here recently with some family, and we were so glad we did. The restaurant is cute and cozy with a relaxed vibe. Makes for a great spot to relax over some great food and drinks. We ordered: Caesar salad: very nice and refreshing salad served in a huge portion, perfect for sharing! Lox pizza: THIS WAS AMAZING. Completely unlike anything I've ever had on a pizza before, and something I cannot stop thinking about. My partner and I usually share everything we order, and I did NOT want to share this! Classic pep: really good, quality pepperoni pizza. Get it with the hot honey on the side. Tiramisu: also amazing. Very rich and decedent dessert. I also didn't want to share this! A must get. We also ordered a few drinks off their happy hour menu. Notably, they have happy hour every day, even on weekends. The beers they have on draft are from Italy, as are most of their wines. Overall, a very solid drink and happy hour menu. One thing to note, I believe the lox pizza is only served on Sunday, so don't expect to see it available all the time. Overall, we loved De La Nonna, and I fully expect that we will return soon (on a Sunday) for more pizza, tiramisu, and drinks. read more

Nonnas are all the rage it seems, thanks to a charming film and Staten Island restaurant. The nonnas from San Pedro have gathered here to share their wonderful, authentic cuisine. We started with crunchy, cheesy Arancini rice balls. The salad was just okay. The long strands of chewy macaroni pasta in pomodoro was authentic and well prepared. The standout dish was the crispy charred melt in your mouth sea bass, perfectly cooked. And the cannoli was definitely the best I've ever had- so thin and crispy. It felt like Italians in the know come here and I can see why. A great dining experience. read more

After a failed attempt to get into another spot in the arts district, we decided to walk into de la nonna for dinner, and honestly, I'm so glad the universe pushed us here instead. The second we walked in I immediately felt the cozy and warm vibe. The patio is beautifully lit, and the inside has such a charming atmosphere to it. What we ordered: - Classic Pepperoni (10/10): if you order this, the hot honey is a non negotiable. Perfect of savory + sweet, spicy, and crispy. Incredible. - Caesar salad (9/10): perfectly tossed with a generous amount of dressing. A touch too lemony for me but still very good. - It's a lox pizza (100/10): the star of the night. House smoked trout, garlic cream, dill... the pairing on this was insane. Only available on Sundays I believe. Worth planning around. - Tiramisu (100/10): listen... this was one of the best tiramisu's I've ever had. Wow. Amazing food, fantastic service, and vibes that'll make you want to stay for hours. Without a doubt, some of the best pizza you can get in LA. read more

This is an interesting dining experience, as you get seated with menus but then have to walk up to the front to place your orders. The table for 2 is also very tiny and we were struggling to fit our plates on the table. Otherwise, the experience was fantastic. The food was excellent! We got the cesar salad, potatoes, mussels, and pepperoni pizza with spicy honey. Everything was really good, although I would probably forego the spicy honey next time. It was kind of a lot for me and it was drenched all over the pizza. The potatoes dish was my favorite. Sooo sooo good. We also got the chocolate tart dessert, and it was really good. Staff were all friendly and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I will definitely be back sometime. read more

Great pizza in a casual and fun, converted-warehouse-chic venue that inspires conversation, laughs and good times. Though you are seated at a specific table by a host like at a traditional full service place, you then order at the counter/bar, place a number on your table and wait for a runner to bring your food and drinks. This is advertised front and center as a pizza place, but the menu is actually quite eclectic, with an appetizer list that includes several crudos, oysters (both raw and baked), salads, whipped eggplant, and even house-made onion dip. As I was dining with my daughter, who has a small appetite, I didn't get to sample any of these, but will be returning with wife and friends to indulge for sure. What we did get was two of their wonderful Pizzas. These are not the usual pies, which is an enjoyable departure. Built on very fluffy focaccia dough, the quarter-sheet-sized pies arrive puffed and tender on the inside but crispy and appropriately just-a-bit "greasy" at the edges, where the cheese caramelizes like a Detroit pizza that somehow snuck into DTLA. Toppings are fresh and very tasty. My daughter's pepperoni pie came with thick-cut, artisan small pepperoni slices that curled and crisped and tasted far better than the mass produced discs so ubiquitous at pizza places. I had ordered the house hot honey on the side, and it added a generous jolt of spice and sweet. That hot honey paired perfectly as well with my sausage and peppers pizza, which also sported crispy cheesy edges, top notch toppings, and a crust that is both airy and substantial. So why am I not giving this fantastic place 5 stars? Two small issues. 1. While I appreciate the casual concept and understand that having a leaner staff helps keeps prices down (prices really are pretty reasonable), it's a tad inconvenient to return to the counter to order refills and the like. It's possible that I could have kept my tab open like at a bar, but that wasn't made clear. It would be great if they made the system a bit more transparent and "customer first." 2. On this particular night, LA was experiencing an unusual rain storm with an equally unusual drop in temperature. Wind, cold, rain... yet the restaurant had their front and back doors open, creating a major draft and rendering the restaurant genuinely freezing cold. My daughter couldn't take off her coat, and we sort of rushed through dinner so we could get to a warmer place. Despite the 2 wonky things, the food is stellar, and we will be back to enjoy it all again. We'll just make sure the weather's a bit more balmy. read more

This amazing place has been on my Yelp list for some time.... Time is up, I've finally made it! Yes, I HAVE ARRIVED!!! This charming place is so much more than a simple yet savory menu- the ambiance is on 1M & the folks that work there- they're just happy, loving, hospitable people that want you to enjoy the great bites you're eating. The ambiance is so pretty - it is clear that a lot of intentionality went in to all the details. The wild flowers everywhere are an incredible touch. Okay and ladies, the bathrooms- immaculate AND there's SEVEN since when do we get plenty and clean restrooms at a nice dining location?! This is 10/10 for me! Thank youuuuu! read more

Recently visited with a group of friends on a Friday night and the vibes are definitely there. I was really excited to try their pizzas but unfortunately they're not for me. It's definitely a unique take on pizza- they're more like flatbreads/cheese breads with toppings. Personally, too heavy for me but I'm glad to have tried! Their frozen spritz though- delicious!! So good that I had to have seconds. Would come back just for this :) As for parking, would recommend parking in a structure in Little Tokyo and walking over as valet is $20. read more

Found the cutest Italian spot in the Arts District. I was mesmerized the moment I walked behind the closed wooden fences. The ambiance was romantic and vintage. Camilla was our server for the night. She was beyond incredible--she was great x 100! The food was delicious. I'm not a big pizza eater, but their pizza was so special that I couldn't resist tasting it. They have gluten-free options, too!! I love all of their pizza. My favorite was the white pizza and gluten-free that was more friendly for my digestive system. I also love the watermelon and tomato salad. Valet parking is available for $20. Street parking or parking at a nearby structure is also an option. read more

This place is an absolute vibe! From the layout and the atmosphere to the drinks and food- literal chefs kiss!! Ordered the bikes cocktails which was a safron drink- nothing like I've had before! Smoky woodsy complex drink. I'm glad the waitress asked us if we've had it before as I can see why someone may not enjoy it. I did though! We shared an egg plant dish to start where it was fried perfectly to a crisp in a sweet and sour jelly. Ordered the Sicilian and wow that was perfect. Crunch bread on the outside but soft on the inside. The tomato sauce was fresh too. I look forward to coming back to try the rest of the menu :) read more

De La Nonna means 'from the Grandmother' It is a market-driven pizza restaurant in the heart of LA's art district and hidden off the main street. The beautiful and lively patio area offers great vibes for casual and event dining for any event. The main event is their pizza, and also have lovely sides and appetizers such as burrata and focaccia, and whipped eggplant. Food/Drinks: I dined here for my brother's birthday and we ordered a variety because we had about 15 people. I tried the roasted mushroom, white, pepp, marg, and sausage and peppers pizzas. My favorite is the white pizza which has Japanese potato, fennel, onion, pesto and mozzarella cheese. I loved the fennel flavor with the richness of the sweet potato. What makes these pizzas so tasty is the bread/crust. It reminds me of a thinner focaccia bread. A ton a flavor but thin enough that you won't get super full The ingredients are fresh and great quality. I dabbled with a red wine. I loved their drink menu with many wines from Italy and France. Service/Ambiance: I loved their service. The waiters were so kind and helpful. The music and overall noise level is loud, so be don't be surprised if you're talking a little louder than normal, even on the patio. The restaurant is clean and tidy. I love the decor, where it feels like a garden/oasis in the middle of industrial LA. It's definitely a vibe and fits the Arts district theme. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for your pizza needs. They do pizza so well and worth every penny. read more

My friend and I dined here last night and left quite disappointed. First off, the tables are so tiny?! These are meet up for coffee and a pastry tables, not dinner tables. They had to bring out a stool because our food wouldn't fit and we didn't even order that much lol. - Kanpachi Crudo: Best dish we had. Light and refreshing. Would get again. - Whipped Eggplant: I was expecting something similar to the whipped eggplant at Elephante, which is delisssssh, but this wasn't even close. It was so salty and ugh. BAD. Also, I wish the bread wasn't hard. - Pepperoni Pizza + $2 for hot honey: I prefer Pizza Hut over this pizza any day. And they don't serve regular ranch :( It's ranch with dill. And maybe I'm old, but damn the music was so loud. Once I stepped outside, it was like I just left a rave. Took a min to get my hearing back LOL. read more

now I'm aware that this might not be considered traditional pizza or whatever but this is by far my favorite pizza place in all of the WORLD I think. Better than anything I had in Italy and but let me tell you why. It has everything you need from the ambiance, The ordering style, the drinks, the everything. it is just such a vibe that I came back 3 times with other friends within the same month. it's not going to be like a joes pizza or princes street or whatever. this is slightly more elevated than those places, but if youre bored of boring pizza thats the same old pizza, then this is the place to try. your taste buds will thank you! the flavors are all so unique but work together so well and they are combos that you would never think of. please try this place out and you will see why. read more

Definitely going for the Napoli cafe in the 70s/80s vibe with the wicker and leather chairs, the pastels, the checkerboard floor. The decor really knocks it out of the park. Great place to look at and I like that the music isn't blasting and making it hard to talk to others. The pizza is real well done because it's on this heavy but airy focaccia like bread. Perfectly crispy edges that I really enjoyed. The whipped eggplant was pretty awful. Tasted like almost nothing which really cause me and my friends off guard. Maybe just a bad batch? But the chili oil was also lacking. No salt or nuttiness or dried chili flavors. The portion of focaccia was also weak...like 3 little toasts lol. Everything came out to like $150 for some pizza a couple apps and 3 drinks. Just didn't seem worth it to come back. read more

De La Nonna is a cute restaurant in the Arts District in DLTA. My friend and I went on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the Pepp pizza with a side of hot honey, breakfast sando and frozen aperol spritz. Everything was great! This is a good spot for a date night, brunch, dinner and happy hour. There was plenty of metered street parking and valet available. I took off a star because my friend tried to order the Italian cream puffs and the host asked the chef if they were available and he said no. He offered the caramel apple crumble pie instead but my friend declined. Later as we are eating we see another table get dessert brought to their table. As the server walked by I asked him what dessert it was. He said the Italian cream puffs. Hmm. Weird. read more

This restaurant rocks from food to the ambience and service. Their pizza is made fresh we ordered the mushroom pizza for a change instead of pepperoni... and it didn't disappoint. They mushroom was was savory and the pizza itself has this chewy texture which is really different from other pizza we have tried. The baked potato was so good and I savored it to the last bite. Next time we will come back with our group of friends so we can order the whole menu. Side note, for those of you there for the first time, you have to go upstairs to place the oder and pay first. They have live DJ and its such a fun and upbeat vibe. read more

As many of the reviews on here, the food is delicious. We had the infamous ceaser salad, the pepperoni pizza, and the mussels. I think between two hungry ppl, that's a good amount of food with possible food to pack up. The decor of the place is also nice, the outdoor area looks cool and the interior colors and textures look nice. The one letdown of the experience is the service. From the jump, the hostess was very apathetic, took her awhile to figure out a table to sit us at, even though all of the tables were open. She sat us right next to entry way. We didn't say anything cause we didn't mind, but with all the tables available, the logic to sit us there was super questionable. Don't get too comfy when sat at a table though, the ordering system is super awkward. You have to get up and order at a counter, no one takes your order at the table. It would be less awkward if everyone was directed to the counter to order first before seating. The food was delicious but based on the awkwardness of ordering and the wait staff service, it would be hard for me to pick this place for a return trip. read more
