If you've never been to Lidos and live in the valley, what are you even doing?? It's basically the same interior from the 70's, which we love, and very retro. If they did anything other than a true restoration it would be a shame. You can see the pizza being tossed in the kitchen, the staff is on it and the energy is just overall good vibes. Meatball pizza with onions and peppers is our go-to (so cheesy, great sauce, perfectly cooked), handmade pasta for the kids (we switch it up between wheat, shells and spaghetti), antipasto salad (lots of meats and cheese, so not really light, but incredible!). read more

It's like when there's a pizza craving, we know that'll well end up here. Their super deluxe tends to always be the winner. The layers of topping, which pretty much is everything. A mixture of veggies and meats then covered with cheese. Just grabbing a slice and watching the topping dripping is a good sign. Some may say it's too much and too messy, but I say bring it on. The crust is great. Not too thick and has a nice crunch to it. They do have other dishes as it's an Italian restaurant. They also offer bottomless pasta but how much can one eat....lol... Service has alway been good whenever we visited. There's plenty of street parking and some available spot in front and out back. Alcohol is offered. I don't know when they started the change with the sourdough bread. It used to be offered when you sit down. Now it's a fee. But one of the waiters said that is offered with a pasta dish which I've heard else wise. Who knows what the truth is. But we just stick to the pizza and salad. It's a valley spot that pretty much everyone I know has been too. read more

It's an insult to Italian food. The food is not great, service is painful and loud. Menu is limited and when I say limited I mean no standard Italian dishes. Try Maria's Italian kitchen. read more

So glad we found this cool place after church just a few minutes away. David served us and he was on point for a table for 9. The ambiance has an Italian feel to it as you walk in and clean. We ordered 2 large pizzas (everything on one; and Hawaiian on the other); with an order of salad and garlic cheese bread sticks for all. It was delish and the pineapple was sweet. Highly recommend and we will certainly be back! Bookmark Lido folks for your next Italian craving. read more

Lido Pizza - Great job Lido! See you again from this foodie critics! - Pizza Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Lido Pizza is one of those classic staples of the valley that, thankfully, doesn't seem like it has fallen off. They are a cozy restaurant with low lighting to give a private feel while your party dines. The staff as always been attentive and a delight as well. On the whole it's the usual Italian restaurant. No frills just good solid food. Their pizza is always superb and their starters that I have tried have all been delicious. I dont feel there is more to add. Lido is a solid italian restaurant. read more

Best darn pizza in Van Nuys as far as I am concern. Lido Pizza has been a Icon for many years in the San Fernando Valley. My work crew and I stopped there for lunch after a important meeting. My second time here in a long time. I think we ordered a large Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza. Taste really good as always with lots of cheese and sauce. Service was good, and also the Lasagna is FIRE as Lido's. They are only open at a certain time of day. They close early so check the daily schedule. Lidos is pricey too, so do not forget your wallets. read more

The food is always so delicious here , I always order take out , this time around it took longer than expected 20 minutes turned into 40 mins. I was sitting there already had paid for the pizza assuming they will call me when it was ready . I walked up after sitting about 10 mins too have the pizzas just sitting on top of the oven. I would of thought they would call my name when its ready not just have it sitting there, very disappointed this time read more

I didn't like that we were not offered bread rolls like other Pizza Italian joints like Pizza cookery. We ordered spaghetti and still weren't offered any bread rolls. The pizza was okay I love the Italian dressing waitress was nice enough but I feel like it looks bad to not offer bread. I will stick with Pizza cookery where they willingly give you bread rolls no extra charge. read more

Oh lidos how I love and miss you. I don't know what it is about this place. Classic Italian. All you can eat pasta menu for lunch and or dinner. The sourdough rolls are so addictive. The pizza is delicious. Topping under the cheese. Every time I go to the valley I must come here. Prices are not expensive. read more

Tried the pizza and it was 10/10! Also their antipasto salad was very tasty. Got the large salad to share and it was big enough for 3... their pizza has a lot of cheese. The server was great and attentive. read more

Lido Pizza - Pesto pasta - Pizza Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Last minute dinner plan... We ordered from this place only a few minutes from us. Online reviews seem great. When we got here the restaurant was pretty busy. The service was great. We ordered a gluten free pie and a regular pie with half cheese and half pepperoni. Also, some meatballs and a salad. The food overall was not great. I had higher expectations since the reviews were good. Also, I'm from NY so finding a good slice outside NY isn't always easy. The crust on the reg pie was like getting a $1 in NYC... Nothing anyone would come back for. The pizza just looked sloppy when we opened the box. They placed the cheese on top of all the pepperoni which made it event difficult to figure out which side was a reg cheese and which had pepperoni. The sauce... Can't even really talk about that.. it wasn't memorable. The GF pizza had olives and mushrooms. Again they covered the toppings with cheese... I could see the olives but until we bit into it...we thought they forgot the mushrooms... The GF pizza actually tasted a little better than their reg pie. That's a bit sad. Omg the salad.. felt like there was little to no effort on the salad. My favorite thing was the meatballs. However, they didn't include ANY marinara sauce with the meatballs... This was a bit of a head scratcher. Luckily I had some marinara in my pantry. The meatballs were not too dense. I've had better but these were not bad. Anyway, this was disappointing. Perhaps the other food here was good since the place was pretty busy. Considering "pizza" is in their name figured it was a safe bet to get that... read more

Been going here 58 years! Guess that says it all..........Eggplant Parm, Lasagna, salads, PIZZA fabulous

Local pizza joint where it is kind of old school. They have tons of items on the menu but honestly just stick to the basics of pizza, pasta, salad, and bread. The place itself looks old and kind of outdated but don't let it fool you. The pizza itself is great, the pasta is ok, and you can't go wrong with bread or salad for the sides. The parking lot is very small so there is always street parking. All in all, support your local business and this is one that you won't feel unsure about supporting read more

The cheese. Only worth it if you're getting a regular pizza. The amount of cheese is ridiculous. Watch them make your pizza, you'd be amazed at the mountain of cheese! I've ordered other foods and didn't really care for them, but this place is known for their pizza, so stick tot eg standard and just order a regular pizza. Don't go for too much toppings or changes, stick to the norm and get a regular pepperoni and be happy :) read more

First time here and it was pretty good! The pizza is okay. I appreciate the size and the customizable toppings with great price. I really liked the pasta. I think it was fettuccine with PINK sauce, which is a mixture of their red and white sauce. We also ordered a meatball on the side and the meatball was so good with the pasta. I would highly recommend ordering this! The salad was fresh and paired well with the pasta and the pizza. Service was unfortunately a miss for me. Did not check in for refills or to see how our table was doing, even though it was not very busy. The ambiance gives you old diner vibes. Parking is plentiful with a small lot in the front and back as well as neighborhood parking. I will be back to try other foods! read more

This restaurant is one of our regular spots and we went here last week on a Sunday for a family lunch. There's only one thing I always order here - the fresh pasta spaghetti with meat sauce. I order it to go and even when we dine in. Many years ago when I first moved to the area I always wondered what the restaurant was, from the outside it looked old and dark. Well it's quite dark when you get in but I got used to it. It has that old school vibe with large booths. Severs are always attentive and the orders doesn't take that long. Love how they give you really warm if not hot bread to start. I love the fresh pasta - you can taste the difference. The ravioli is also good, I had the linguini with clam sauce before. The pizza is good but depending on the toppings - it can a little bit too oily for me, for pizza I think the less toppings the better. The full order of the pasta is A lot! I always have leftovers. Parking is available in the front and back. Sometimes it's hard to find parking though as both lots get full. I would recommend this to groups/ families as the food is good for sharing. read more

The food is great and the service is amazing. Only complaint is that while I waited for my table I saw a cockroach and then when I sat down I saw another one crawling on the wall and then another one running behind the wall of the table next to me.. the people in the other table saw it too. Sooo idk what to think they had an A but I think they need to be checked out for a Roach infestation. Again the food and service are great! read more

During Covid, I felt their pasta was good but not amazing anymore. Had some pasta last month and it's back to its excellent standard! Thanks Lido! read more

Lido Pizza - Eggplant Parmigiana - Pizza Near Me - Van Nuys, California

The service was awesome, very attentive, had no problem changing red sauce and substituting white sauce on my Egg Plant Parmesan, and the spaghetti that accompanied it. We had their meat pizza, which was one of their specialty pizza's, we left the pepperoni off, put on salami in its place, and asked to only have onions on half, all of which they were happy to do. The pizza by the way, was some of the best pizza I've ever eaten, and I'm picky. Only complaint, they need to get some good crispy garlic bread , instead of the boring bland dinner rolls they serve, they're absolutely tasteless, served with rock hard butter that won't spread. Butter pats should be removed from the refrigerator during the shift, so that you can spread it on the roll. If you're going to keep the rolls, place cruets on each table of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, so that customers can dab their rolls in a combination of both. Either way, we will be back over and over for the good service and incredible pizza. read more

Went here for first time to pickup a pizza this week. Loved the old school atmosphere and the pizza was quite good. What was not good was the $30 price point for a SMALL pizza. I'm no novice and quite frankly a pizza "player". Little Toni's in NOHO is a solid 10 for pizza-- and around$20. At their HH it is around $8-12. It's pretty pricey at LIDO albeit good. Will think twice though about going because it's a lot of dough( pun intended? read more

Very tasty pizza. Enough for me to do carry outs on the regular and staff is always friendly.

Terrible service, food was not that good at all, definitely run down terrible place to go. The server (middle age Latino man short trim beard) was rude, ignored going to our table, never once checked on us, allot of aggression and rude looks didn't care to drop the bill off or anything. A couple came shortly we did after and received better service from the guy who served us and got their food first before us.I could've rated this place better but he made me realize it's a poor restaurant with low expectations definitely locals keep this place alive. read more

I have been coming to this place for decades and I love it The margarita pizza here is fantastic The service is always great it's a little overpriced but worth it read more

This is our 2nd time here. Natalia was our server both times. Excellent customer service! My husband had a lunch lasagna which he really liked. We also ordered a medium pizza half pepperoni and half hatch green chili. The green chili side was for me. It was yummy with some good spice to it! Cozy, dark atmosphere we really like it here! Thanks Natalia for making it a great experience for us both times. We will be back! ;) read more

I was there with my family the pizza they have to die for , and service was excellent.

Great pizza. Order takeout so I did not experience the service. The atmosphere is dated but if I was to eat inside the food would make up for the dated interior. Pizza is awesome but priced on the high side. Two pizzas were almost $70! read more

One of our favorite places to have family dinners at. It has been in business for over 65 years. The pizza is delicious here. I love their supreme pizza and the cheese pizza the most. Their house antipasto salad is amazing and I always order it. Pastas are good as well. The linguini in clam sauce is perfection. I can go on and on. The service is great so is the ambiance. It's very dated but it works just fine. I love the atmosphere of this place. Feels like you are back in the 60s (not that I was alive in the 60s lol) anyways you get the point. A must try if you haven't been. We used to live nearby years ago and would visit very often. Now not so much but from time to time I feel like dining here. Last night we ordered to go food while visiting some family nearby. It was a great meal, even for take out. read more

Seriously the best *food* I've ever had. Magic. I started writing this review over eight years ago and didn't realize it hadn't been posted. I live in Georgia now and think about Lido all of the time. There is no pizza pasta or sandwich that compares. I wish I could get some of their pasta and sauces. FedEx to me they are that good. read more

It's cute to come here with family and get some good pizza! For me all their pastas are a miss and not worth the order but getting pizza and salad is great! The staff is always so attentive so that's great. I came here with a bigger party once and they were great at accommodating us. Wait times can vary but be prepared to wait for a table on weekends! read more
