Stopped by Ruffalo's Pizza in Hollywood and ordered a slice of pizza with mushrooms, olives, and pepperoni, a Stella draft beer in a mug, and a cannoli for dessert. The pizza was decent, and I definitely appreciated the generous amount of toppings. My only minor criticism is that the bread and cheese could have had a little more flavor. It wasn't the best pizza I've had, but I really can't complain. The Stella on tap was great, and the staff was outstanding! I was attended to quickly and checked on several times, even though I was only there for a slice of pizza. That kind of service makes a difference and definitely deserves recognition. Overall, a very good experience with great service, a good beer, and a satisfying meal. I'd come back! read more

Love this place- there aren't many places left like this- solid pasta dishes that comes with a side salad and garlic bread; they give you pasta and sauce options, and then you can add protein and/or other goodies. The staff is lovely and helpful, as well. It's a warm and cozy vibe in the heart of L.A. They have been in business for a long time, and are still under the original ownership. Will have to come again and try other things here, because the quality for the price can't really be beat, especially with the service as well! read more

Fantastic in every way! When you first walk in, it's like an old classic Italian joint in New York. Not spacious at all, but very comfortable still. Cozy booth seating and fabulous photographs and empty wine bottles everywhere. Fun eye candy! I can see why it's been around since 1977. I was seated right away and started with some lovely red wine then had their Caesar salad with light dressing and it was cold crispy and tasty. Then I had their meatballs because I'd read the reviews and everyone recommended them and they were not wrong! Melt in your mouth flavorful, and the marinara sauce was perfection. I should've ordered more to go! Then I had the chicken Parmesan entrée and everything about it was very tasty and flavorful and moist, but I don't like the marinara sauce on every portion of the dish because it makes the whole breaded portion of the meal soggy. I like a little texture and crunch in my chicken Parmesan. Still very tasty. Massa what's my server and he took excellent care of me. Very attentive and speedy and made my visit very enjoyable. Thank you very much! read more

Sadly one of the worse pizzas I've had before. It was dry and expensive. The establishment gives authentic Italian but it was too much bread. The service was okay I guess. I just did a pickup. Haven't been back since. read more

Charming casual Italian restaurant in Hollywood. An incredibly welcoming and cozy dining room. We had a freshly made to order pizza that was half Raffallo's Special and the other BBQ Chicken. Also enjoyed an amazing Fettuccine Alfredo along with some Italian beers and Tiramisu for dessert. read more

I came here based on reviews and ordered the spaghetti. I am so disappointed and would say I found it inedible. It tasted a bit freezer burnt or stale...and also like a can of tomato sauce mixed with some meat. It wasn't flavored right. Didn't taste Italian. read more

Ordered a vegetable pizza from Raphael Pizza on La Brea and wow -- it was so good. Fresh veggies, perfect balance of flavors, and the crust was exactly right: crispy, not dry, and clearly made with care. You can tell they don't cut corners here. Everything tasted fresh, hot, and thoughtfully made. It hit the spot in the best way and honestly exceeded my expectations. If you're in Hollywood and craving pizza that actually tastes amazing (especially veggie options), this place is a must. I'll definitely be ordering again. read more

A really solid pizza place right off the Hollywood walk of fame. Very cool inside ambience. It feels like you're right in Italy even though you're in a smack dab middle of Hollywood. The pizza was very fresh and Salad was all very fresh. Not like straight from Italy, but great. read more

Last night was me and my girlfriends last night to have dinner alone together, as our trip is coming to an end... obviously there are almost infinite possibilities regarding restaurants in the Hollywood area, so we had to narrow down our choices. Eventually we ended on pizza. Specifically, pizza from Raffallo's Pizza. It did not disappoint. To start, when you walk into Raffallo's, it's like you stepped into an old classic pizza joint! It was fun! It had to much character to it; with pictures all over the walls, wine bottles everywhere, the seating booths were fun, etc... The service here was also efficient and quick! We were immediately given a table to sit at, which was great and our waiter was also excellent! He was really friendly and made us feel welcome which was a nice feeling. Also, soon after we got there, there was a group of, what seemed to be regulars, or people that just know the owners, that came in. Witnessing friendliness among peers and community is always validating feat, in my opinion. Anyway, me and my girlfriend were a little indecisive on what to get. Meaning sharing an appetizer and/or a pizza. Long story short, we ended up sharing an appetizer of house made meatballs and a medium (12inch) thick crust meat lovers pizza. We went with the meatballs as an appetizer because other reviews were recommending the meatballs too. We couldn't have agreed more! The meatballs were excellent! They were moist, and spongy and the sauce was really tasty too! Then regarding the meat lovers pizza, it was really tasty too! Actually, something I observed is the crust sort of tasted like pastry dough too! It tasted subtly sweet to me. With that sweet pizza crust, I think Raffallo's could make a nice dessert pizza! To get back to the point, the menu isn't that big which is good, so not too many options to overwhelm you. The restaurant is also in a little plaza so parking is very easy; you don't have to pay. (Besides for your food, lol). The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was on point. I just wish they had dessert pizzas... maybe in the future! read more

Their pizza seriously has the most unique flavor that I haven't really had anywhere else. The vibe inside is cozy and loke old school with the booths and decoration that fits the Hollywood vibe. And they are so nice. read more

Conveniently located. Have come here on and off for years. But my last order of a meat lovers pizza was so bland I wondered if I possibly had covid. I asked everyone else who was eating with me and they agreed. I have never had a pizza so flavorless and I've eaten nutrisystem pizzas. read more

We ordered from here to go and it was better than expected. We got two build your own pizzas, one with half ham and onion and pepperoni and one small garlic, basil, tomato. All I got to say is the small pizza is a personal size pizza. So bear that in mind if you get a small. Pizza was good, it's not gourmet or anything special, but good. We did not drive our Rivian into the building, not sure if that gets you anything special lol. read more

Wonderful Hollywood fixture. Great food and service! They know their customers and treat them well.

This is the first time ever I'm doing this, but I'm currently enjoying this meal as I type this review. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken (my second time ordering this in two weeks) and the Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich. I doubt I'll finish both of them in one sitting, but even if I don't, I get to savor them again tomorrow. Can't beat a win-win situation like this one! The order came with a side salad and garlic bread along with parmesan cheese and crushed red peppers, too. I started with a bite of the Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich. It was toasty, gooey, smooth and hit the spot immediately. In between bites, I would take additional bites of the salad and eventually ended up finishing this side dish. I only ate half of the sandwich before I took a long break and began with the Fettuccine Alfredo. This next dish is a favorite of mine and though I only ate half of it tonight, I still appreciated every bit of it. I would occasionally have a bit of garlic bread to go with a forkful of fettuccine and the variety was stupendous! I am excited to have either of these as an upcoming meal and will go to sleep tonight content and satisfied. Good night everyone! read more

Haven't been here in sometime but stopped by for a pie this past Friday. Ordered a spinach white pie for lent. Was okay. Nothing special. Would maybe come back but definitely on the pricier end. They have limited customer parking which is also a plus given the area. Give them a try if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a slice. Though there's better out there of course. read more

Was skating by and stopped in for a slice. Service was nice and attentive but the simple pepperoni slice was pretty below average. Nothing special at all. Probably wouldn't come back or recommend. read more

Surprised that this spot doesn't have better reviews. Once you walk through the door, you're transported to another world. I came closer to Christmas time, so the interiors were brightly illuminated with colorful lights everywhere. They have a small parking lot out front - so no issue with parking here. ..... SPINACH LASAGNA: 4/5 quite satisfied with this lasagna, each lasagna layer was thin and was deceptively filled with ricotta and sauce with every bite read more

Every single thing about this place blew my expectations away. We called to see if there was a wait time & there was, but the kind person there saved us a booth for when we got there. She remembered our names & had the booth ready for us! We were greeted like family & welcomed instantly. We were asked about drinks & we ordered our Pitcher of Blue Moon ($22.00) & an Arnold Palmer ($3.25) very good prices if you ask me. For starters we got an order (2) of Garlic Breads, an order (1) of Garlic Bread w/ Cheese, & 6 traditional styled buffalo wings ($12) which were really soft & tender & juicy. The buffalo sauce was delicious & it all tasted so well. For the entrees we orders Spaghetti & Meatballs ($17), Cheese Ravioli ($18.00), & a Half & Half Medium Hawaiian + Supreme Pizza ($24.50). The spaghetti & meatballs were absolutely amazing especially the meatballs. Juicy & extremely flavorful. The Ravioli was exceptional, especially with the chicken that was seasoned perfectly & was soft to bite into. The Pizza was absolutely delicious especially with a side of the Marinara Sauce for dipping your pizza into. Everything was definitely made with love & care & you can tell that everyone working there enjoyed being there. I can't express enough how much the customer service there made us feel extremely welcomed & part of the crew. I will definitely be coming back here with friends and family. This place deserves the praise & acknowledgement. Thank you for everything ! read more

My first Raffallo's Pizza I bought in 1988. They used to have a location on Fountain Ave and Vermont, in East Hollywood. This is the greatest tastiest pizza ever, I would say very luxurious and generous on toppings, you can feel and taste the cheese and sauce and meats and veggies. Two thumbs up, a pizza to die for. It's actually home made taste and looks very appetizing. Go get your slice or whole pie!!! read more

Pizzas are good. Our server was very kind but food took quite a while. We ordered an appetizer that came at the same time as our food.

Went to Raffallo's to get a pie as I was on my way to a friends place, and bumped into another friend also getting a sub, small world but it's the local non dominos/pizza hut pizza spot. Interior is super vintage, from the red leather booths to the wine bottles on the bars, and also the lamp shades which I remember from my grandmas house when I was a kid, this place has some history, which indeed is cool. Service was friendly, the guy took the order and I got a Large Pepperoni for 20ish dollars, plus tax, and in honesty I was dissapointed with the size. I felt like you could have gotten a few more slices for what they call a "large" pie. The pizza itself is heavy, the cheese ways it down way too much, insanely greasy, and the crust tastes like sawdust. So. Overall I'd have to say this pizza. Is not good pizza. Joes on Hollywood Blvd is way better, and even worth the delivery fee instead of Raffallo. History, Yes. Cuisine, No. read more

Giving it two stars since the service was fine. We're here visiting from NY and stopped in for food and drinks. We ordered the Alfredo and it was deffinetly microwaved. The sauce was like soup and burned on the edges. Very bland and unedible. The beer was also flat. Was very disappointed. It was a $22 dish so I thought it would be pretty decent but very poorly made. Meatball sub we also got was poorly made, the meatballs tasted okay but were cut in half instead of a whole which made it more of a flatbread instead of a sandwich. Unfortunatly made us feel like they're in it for the buck and not the quality. read more

This pizza place deserves way more praise. It is SO, so good! Love the actual space. Such a cute, cozzy pizza shop located in the heart of Hollywood. Best garlic cheese bread in the city, really great supreme pizza, and if you ever have a hankering for spaghetti, their spaghetti with meat sauce is always a hit (especially with aforementioned garlic cheese bread.) Really nice staff too! read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon HANGRY and ready to eat. Upon entering we were greeted and seated at a cute booth in the middle of the restaurant. My sister and I ordered the Veal Parmesan entree that came with garlic toast & a small tossed salad. The waiter was a cool guy that referred to us as "las señoritas" and answered all of the questions we had without getting annoyed. We decided to also order a personal pepperoni pizza and some mozzarella sticks to share. Waiting time was probably 10-12 mins. Overall experience was a 8 out of 10. Service was great Presentation was fair Quality of pizza was on point I will definitely be back for more pizza! Try this place out if you're in the area, you won't be sorry. read more

We absolutely love to come to Raffallo's Pizza recessed into the ground. On the corner of LaBrea and Hollywood boulevard.

Check him out, and the pizza is the closest thing this New Yorker has ever experiences in LA. read more
