This place has a wide selection of pizzas and fast service (you could get your pizza slice and start eating it within a few minutes) but prices are expensive and the pizza is okayish. Margherita slice was acceptable, tasted kind of dry, and was not that flavorful. Bolognese slice had not bad flavor and I liked the sausages on it. Both slices here had a good crispy crust after they were reheated which is a plus.

This is one of my favorite pizza places! I love coming here whenever I'm at the Westfield mall. They have a variety of pizzas to choose from. Their dough is baked from scratch daily, and topped with artisanal ingredients like cured meats, cheeses, and fresh produce sourced from local farms. I usually order their margarita pizza but I decided to try something new when I saw that they had seasonal pizza slices to choose from. I went here just a few months ago and they had: Margherita Rivisitata - Mutti tomato, housemade burrata, and basil Siciliana - Mutti tomato, housemade bread crumbs, taggiasca olives, sundried tomato, and oregano Zucca e Provolone - Roasted butternut squash, housemade mozzarella, Ghidetti provolone picante DOP, chives, and Mike's Hot Honey Cipolla e Burrata - Housemade burrata, roasted red onions, radicchio, Ponti balsamic glaze, housemade mozzarella, and arugula & Tartufi e Funghi - urbanitruffles sauce, roasted cremini & button mushrooms, Urbani shaved black truffle carpaccio, housemade Stracciatella, and parsley. I decided to try their Zucca e Provolone since I love butternut squash. It was delicious. I never had butternut squash on a pizza and it worked perfectly. If you like savory foods I would recommend this. It was a perfect blend of sweet and salty. I also really loved their mozzarella cheese it's delicious! And their crust is also really good. If you order from them you should ask them to warm it up it tastes even better! I highly recommend this place. Their Zucca e Provolone is now my new favorite pizza flavor. I hope they can continue to make this one! Note: They are located at the Westfield Century City Mall in Santa Monica. They are located inside of Eatly. Eatly offers a range of Italian restaurants and food markets. Pizza Alla Pala is located on the second floor.

Pizza Alla Pala at Eataly in Century City.

Stopped for lunch at Pizza Alla Pala in Eataly today. Never had Roman style pizza before. Really liked the crust. Had a piece of the Cacio e Pepe pizza, Never had Cacio e Pepe pizza before. Thought it was very good although a little salty. I am no judge of saltiness since I never use salt. Someone who uses salt on a regular basis probably wouldn't have thought it was salty. It was a a very large piece of pizza and a very good value for such a large piece of pizza with a very good thick and chewy crust. Will try one of the other pizzas the next time I am there.

Pretty solid pizza! My favorite is the mushroom one! I always come here when I need a quick and easy bite!

Spicy sausage, broccoli rabe, red pepper flakes and a fantastic crunchy crust

Talk about eye candy! There's fancy toast, meet fancy pizza! And the food tastes as good as it looks. Slices start around $8 each. I've had the prosciutto arugula and today the spicy sausage and broccoli rabbe. So much broccoli it felt like a healthy side but too light on the tomato sauce. Love the crunchy, light crust, my favorite part of the pizza. I've read about negative service but my experience was great. I came Saturday for lunch. The line was long but moved fast, orders taken by one person. They honored my request for the slice with more cheese. They replenish pizza styles quickly and will ask if you want your slice heated. I heard the employee tell the customer ahead of me her slice tasted better room temperature. Now there are many outdoor areas to eat. Definitely a top choice for a quick meal at this mall.

Fast service with great customer service. You love pizza you should try this one . We don't have too much time this time so will definitely take the family to come back again !

Quick service but the pizza isn't as hot as I'd like it to be. This is Roman style so it's more like focaccia bread with toppings. The Funghi had plenty of mushrooms.

I have been searching forever for a good Italian pizza, and this was the answer sent from above. The pizza was delicious and thick and airy. The sauce was perfect, and the bottom of the crust was just crispy enough. Loved it with the pepper flakes. Only downside, the cashier was a little rude and there were no clear instructions. So just to break it down, you tell the first person on the left at the window which pizzas you want, and then you pay. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants good pizza.

a slice of mushroom pizza

I really really like this place. Every time I'm at Eataly, I grab a slice. My fave is the mushroom, but the Cacio e Pepe is solid as well. They reheat the slices if they've cooled, but it's best when it's very busy because the pies are coming out of the oven constantly. I prefer it when there is a line!

Heirloom Tomato and Walnut Pesto pizza
Harmonie T.

Wandering inside Eataly, I was not expecting any of their pizzas to be labeled vegan. But lucky me, it was labeled on two pizza options! So how does one decide? Get 'em both! The Heirloom Tomato and Walnut Pesto pizza looks plain and simple but OMG the flavor! The Meateater BF couldn't help but steal more than one bite which probably wasn't such a bad thing considering this portion is much more filling than it looks. Carblicious! http://bit.ly/2MFV7ZE The Arrabiata with Olives is another vegan option. As much as I love olives, this was not very exciting for me. The one thing that stood out about it was the spiciness. Otherwise, this pizza was overshadowed by the Heirloom Tomato and Walnut Pesto pizza. The line was a good 10 - 15 minute wait which was actually one of the shorter lines inside of Eataly. Prices are also fairly reasonable for the vegan options. I wouldn't hesitate to come back, especially for the Heirloom Tomato and Walnut Pesto pizza.

You would think an Italian place would have delicious pizza, but all I tasted was dough... Looks can be deceiving and this is what we have here. My friends and I ate at La Pizza and La Pasta before coming here and was disappointed by their pizza as well. We saw the pizza here and decided to give it a try. Their pizza ranges from $5-$8 per rectangular slice. It is a decent portion, but with $8 for one of the slice, I would rather go to Pizza Hut. We ordered Cacio e Pepe and Capricciosa. The Cacio e Pepe was plain and reminded me of garlic bread. The Capricciosa here was better than the one at La Pizza. But it was just okay. I liked how the pizza here was kind of crispy on the edges. But overall they did not have much toppings on top and they contained a lot of dough. Maybe I did not order the right pizza, but after reading some of the reviews after I ordered, a lot of people did mention that the pizza was going to be very doughy.

A quick & delicious meal at Pizza all Pala. $2.50 Sparkling Orange Soda & $6.40 Funghi e Provolone (front) & $7.40 Soppressata (above).

Grabbing a quick dinner and celebrity sighting?! Yes, please! Just your typical Thursday evening in Eataly, hehe! Parking: Sadly, they don't validate here. The Setup Stand in line, check out the various pizzas offered that day, pick your pizza slice(s) and pay at the end of the line. You get two Roman-style (squared cut) slices. You can also request the employee to slice it in half (to share) if you like. At the cashier counter, drinks will be available for purchase. You can get either a non-alcoholic drink or a nice glass of wine. If you're dining there, your pizza will be placed on a cute, wooden pizza board. If you're taking it to go, they will place it in a bag for you. I ate mines there since I was heading over to Next Health later on. Side Note: Regardless if you're getting pizza or just a drink, YOU MUST stand in line with the rest of the other patrons. One guy attempted to just buy an Italian soda and the employee made him get in line. Common courtesy for the rest of the other patrons waiting. Also, there was only one employee working the pizza station and so thankfully, the patron obliged. Once you get your food and drink, you can sit anywhere you like in their dedicated seating area. Since space is premium, if you're coming here with another person or a big group, best to have someone secure a table while you do the ordering. If you're dining solo, you can either wait for a table or politely ask to share a table and I'm sure the patrons won't mind. When you're done eating, you can discard your own trash or an employee walking around will come over and discard it for you. I came on here on a Thursday evening and the seating area was packed. Luckily, one of Singer Rihanna's bodyguards politely gave up his table to me and three other female patrons. We shared a table (in front of Rihanna's table) while one of the ladies and her little daughter was chit-chatting with Rihanna's bodyguard while we all were secretly gushing and sneaking glances at Rihanna, lol! Here's what I got: Drink: $2.50 Sparkling Orange Soda Beverage - Aranciata Italian brand. It was sweet, citrusy and bubbly, which went perfectly with my pizza slices. $6.40 Funghi e Provolone: A MUST GET!!! I love this meatless pizza! Generous toppings of mushrooms, provolone and mozzarella with balsamic and parsley. The mushrooms were plump and savory, while the provolone and mozzarella were super cheesy, stretchy and ooey-gooey. The balsamic tasted slightly subtle, but sweet, while the parsley added a nice green color to the pizza slices. The pizza dough (ciabatta bread) itself was fluffy, hearty and easy to chew through and I enjoyed it. The toppings held up pretty well without everything falling off bite after bite. Quite delicious and rather satisfying. I would get this again! $7.40 Soppressata: Of course, I gotta have my meat slices too! This pizza was good, but it didn't wow me as much as the Funghi e Provolone. The toppings on here could have been a little more, especially, the spicy sopressata, which wasn't really spicy at all. The flavor was actually kind of bland (should've gotten the Capricciosa [prosciutto cotto Rovagnati] instead). The tomato sauce and fontina were its saving grace and made the rest of the pizza taste better. The pizza dough on this one required a little more chewing power. I wouldn't get this again. Service: There was only one employee (Richard Flores) working the front of the station that Thursday evening, while his coworker in the back was preparing the next round of pizzas. Richard was friendly, fast and efficient. I didn't have to wait too long for my food. I was in and out of the line, under less than 10mins. Celebrity Sighting: Singer Rihanna was there! She did some shopping in Eataly earlier and was eating pizza and drinking wine with her friend. She had three bodyguards with her (one near the elevator and two huge bodyguards guarding her in the front and in the back of her table). Her bodyguard that gave up the table to me and three other female patrons was super nice and cool. Fans requesting pics with her were politely declined (including us, lol!), but still got to admire her from afar. Before Rihanna left, I smiled and waved at her and she mirrored me back, awesome! She also said hello to the little girl sitting at our table. Bummer, I didn't get a direct photo with her, but I forgot that paparazzi were also (hidden) and nearby (Thank you, TMZ for my photo, lol!). Overall, I enjoyed my meal at Pizza alla Pala. I look forward to coming back here again to try out their other delicious pizza creations. What a great Thursday evening - dining on fantastic pizza slices and seeing Rihanna up close and personal, awesome!

Eataly in Century City is quite an interesting concept in Los Angeles. It's a giant mostly-Italian gourmet market with small eateries scattered throughout. There's a lot of hustle and bustle, and it's easy to get lost in the chaos of it all. Most of the prepared food choices involve some sort of pizza. Pizza All Pala is Roman-style, as their sign says. The crust is like panini bread, so it's on the thick and on the chewy side. I picked the soppressata, which consisted of tomato sauce, soppressata piccante, fontina cheese, and parley. It's tasty, and the crust gives your jaw muscles some exercise. It's almost $8 for a piece that's about 3" x 6". Doesn't exactly fill you up, but maybe it's about the experience. The second choice I could not name. Some of the name plates were missing, but it had arugula, grape tomatoes and prosciutto on a soft cheese blob with a super thick and chew crust. My jaw muscles definitely hurt after eating this. At one point, I was going to give up. I liked it, but there wasn't anything particular spectacular about it. With two drinks, it was about $40. Tables were at a premium. There were people with bags on chairs, baby carriages, people holding two tables, people who sat there reading their phones. Certainly not a casual stress-free lunch!

Anyways it was just so good!! Potato pieces, bacon, lots of cheese and some type of ranch dressing? Sign me upppp. I'm not big on pepperoni or meat-style pizzas and sometimes the plain cheese/veggie ones aren't what I'm in the mood for. This potato one was the perfect middle for me. It was everything I ever wanted in a pizza I miss it so bad. Anyways this is just my little love letter to that potato pizza and I can only hope that it's brought back soon! Parking is rough as is usual for arts district but I'd suffer through that willingly for more potato pizza.

The list clearly favors organic and biodynamic producers, which I always appreciate--minimal intervention, letting the terroir and varietal speak without unnecessary manipulation. The flight format was flexible, offering around five selections with the option to choose three pours. I went with a sparkling red, an orange wine, and a white--each bringing its own personality to the table. The sparkling red was lively and slightly unconventional, the orange wine had that textured, skin-contact complexity, and the white rounded things out with a clean, expressive finish. Our server elevated the experience by guiding the tasting order, which made a noticeable difference in how each wine showed. It's always a good sign when the staff understands how to pace a flight rather than just drop it off and walk away. We didn't explore the food menu this time, so I can't speak to the full program, but purely from a wine perspective, it lands at a solid 4 stars for me. The space itself is ideal for a relaxed midday tasting--plenty of seating, with a great outdoor setup. The tall greenery creates a sense of privacy without feeling closed off, making it just as suitable for a casual date as it is for catching up with friends. Honestly, if you've got a flexible workday and don't need to be on camera, this is a pretty perfect spot to post up with a glass and ease into the afternoon.
