    Date night vibes
    Raymond L.

    Love this place, I'm famous for always writing a review way after I should. This place has great service and the pizza is really good. Great date spot!

    Menu is extensive https://www.yelp.com/menu/johnnies-los-angeles-7 But it's the All Star Pizza we love!

    "To sum up, consistency is not just a goal to strive for in restaurant operations; it's an essential ingredient for success. It builds customer trust and loyalty, ensures quality control, streamlines operations, facilitates staff training and development, and provides a competitive edge. Feb 23, 2024"* Johnnie's gets that philosophy, that business model. We continue to order the cheese pie just like we remember, expect from the last time (There have been many reprises since my original review.) All I must say is, this pie was as good as the previous pies! Happy Johnnie's still offers a 12" pizza. From my 2018 review: "Thin, crispy crust, not mushy in the middle so slice 'folds' properly. Savory well-seasoned red sauce spread evenly. Mozzarella distributed with a light hand." Delivery available. We pick up. Parking on Ensley Avenue or at a pay station on little Santa Monica Boulevard. * https://tripleseat.com/blog/why-consistency-is-vital-for-restaurant-operations/

    Classic Cheese Pizza with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

    In short, I don't regret coming here but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again either. Pizza it's pretty good but basic, good though if you want a convenient lunch option. Although, I did have their Italian quesadilla which is basically a medium pizza golden in half, but it is slightly cheaper than the medium pizza so worth that deal there. They also make slices and the Italian quesadillas here pretty quickly too if you need a meal to go in a pinch

    Really like their pizza but ordered wings this time and disappointed by the size of these wings! And there was actually a smaller one than this one pictured.

    I always mean to come here more often than I do. They have parking in the back but I usually park on the street. I buy pizza by the slice here and it's always delicious. It's nice and fresh out of the oven. The staff here always treats me great. Nothing fancy about this place which is fine, and I'm glad I'm always able to get a seat by the window. Looking forward to coming back to try different things!

    Pizza, garlic rolls and lasagna.

    Johnnie's New York Pizza is located right near Santa Monica. It is a great place for lunch or dinner. You can eat there, have it delivered or pick it up. Parking is not the best but you will be able to find a spot. Johnnie's pizza is real New York style pizza and you will love it. Nothing is made ahead of time, and all their food is fresh and amazing. They make the best pizza. A large is big enough for 4 people if you also order another dish, otherwise it is perfect for 3 people. All of their ingredients are fresh and so good. They will add whatever toppings you want or you can just get a plain cheese, which is super. I also love their pasta dishes. They make a super tasty lasagna, and their ravioli is great. The best are their garlic rolls. They are always fresh and just loaded with that garlic flavor you love. The service is excellent and they never get my order wrong. So go there and have fun.

    Simple decor
    Erik B.

    Charming on the outside and with an inside decorated with tables fitted with traditional checkered Italian tablecloth. Located right across the street from the Westfield mall, this simple Italian eatery offers a range of traditional Italian sandwiches. Like eggplant, Parmesan, pizza, appetizers, and salads. The vibe is loose and hip but the food is of decent quality The pizza is pretty simple and thin crust, not offering much to help it stand out compared to most other Italian pizza restaurants. But the ambience and wide menu of choices provides it with enough personality. Would I ever come back here? Not sure... but I am glad to have finally tried a preeminent Los Angeles pizza establishment in an otherwise charming neighborhood.

    Pizza Pizza Pizza. pepperoni pizza wad yummy. Good crust and cheese. Not too much grease. Garlic knots were good but not my favorite. Little dry. There is free shared parking behind the building which is fabulous for LA. Inside was old school traditional Pizza place. Could use some updating. We ordered at the counter and sat down at an open table. Woman who took our order also delivered our food. Quick and efficient

    Food, incredible. Drinks, amazing. Service, always on point!…read more Always worth the hype when we come to Donna's. Had a booth this time and were one of the first people into the restaurant. Pro tip: the 5pm reservation never disappoints. Street parking was not bad either. Definitely a good date night spot!

    Wow, I was surprised at how busy this place was on a Wednesday night. We had 5:45 pm reservations…read moreand when we got here the places was FULL. I feel the seating was a little tight in certain areas put they did make clear walking paths. Traffic to get here was horrible but we got lucky and found a non-metered spot about a block away as soon as we arrived in the area. For apps, we ordered the garlic bread and meatballs. The garlic bread was different. It was a sourdough loaf with oozing garlic butter inside but was only toasted whole so overall ate very soft and I missed the typically toastiness I get with most garlic bread. The flavor was still very good, especially dipping it into the marinera that accompanied the meatballs. For entrees and sides, we ordered the lasagna, the eggplant tortellini, the chicken parmesan and the broccolini. I can only say they really like their parmesan here. I'm not the biggest fan so I brushed a lot of it off. The tortellini was the star of the show for me and I think it was partially because all the other dishes were marinera + parmesan so it gave a nice break in the flavor profile. Something to consider when ordering next time. The chicken parmesan was delicious. I found the lasagna to be okay and would pass on the broccolini next time (to be fair, I got rid of all the cheese so that probably change the flavor profile they were going for).

    It was the husband's choice for our final birthday celebration dinner and he was quick to decide on…read moreMother Wolf. Why? For the BISTECCA ALLA FIORENTINA (38oz Prime Porterhouse). I know, crazy, right? But we did it! You'd think just having the Porterhouse would be enough -- apparently it wasn't because we started with bread. At our server's recommendation we chose the bruschetta. Wow, what a fantastic start! The crunchy charred bread topped with the creamy Burrata and house made apricot jam was beyond delicious! Then he asked for his favorite pasta from our last visit -- SPAGHETTI ALL'ARRABBIATA. We can never get tired of this one. The house made pasta coated in that spicy sauce is so satisfying. Then came the steak. Although our server warned us that it was huge, we were still surprised when it arrived. But then came the included sides of fried fingerling potatoes and Ruchetta salad -- to say 'generous portions' is an understatement. I literally laughed at the mountain of salad when it arrived. It was all just incredible. The Prime Porterhouse was at the correct temperature, seasoned well and melt in your mouth amazing. The fried potatoes were hot, crisp and tasty. The salad was so good that the husband ate it -- I couldn't believe it! I tapped out early and in order to leave room for dessert, I had to force the husband to stop. We chose the CROSTATA DI MARMELLATA because of the apricots. We were so happy to have dined while they're in season and incorporated into Mother Wolf's menu. We were then surprised with complimentary sorbet (NETTARINA) and gelato (VANIGLIA) for our birthdays. Beautifully presented, the sweetness of each dessert was perfectly balanced and a wonderful end to a fantastic dinner. And this goes without saying -- service was impeccable. Thanks to the Mother Wolf team for another great experience!
