The dough is wonderful. NOT the best dough (that's reserved for pizzeria sei). But definitely above average dough. The only reason i took off points for the dough was that although it had amazing consistency and texture, some parts were too charred, brittle and inconsistent throughout the pizza. The toppings were fresh and delicious but not enough variety on the menu as every flavor was too similar to each other. The mushroom jalepeno pizza was in fact delicious and was in facf better than expected in flavor and pairing. The hot honey pizza overall was the better pizza. Size was a bit smaller than but not too small I'd come again because the dough was nice and above average. But wouldn't come as often as the menu variety didn't hit the spot. read more

Good food but a bit over prized. The bread has just the right amount of char in it - the bee sting pizza is fine but not exceptional. Because we had a 10 year old with us, we had the original pepperoni as well, I think it would have been better without the pepperoni....their pepperoni was hard and bit over cooked. The place is sparse but I suppose that makes it hip and the service is good. This branch is hard to find. It's in the courtyard across the street from the parking building of the Platform. Now listen, because I wish someone had told me this before I got all frustrated. Entrance to the parking is on Landmark off Washington Blvd. But the restaurant is actually in the middle of the courtyard in the building across the street. Got it? Yeah, it took me a while. read more

Walked in for a quick dinner - what a great spot! I love hot honey pizza, and their Bee Sting pizza was the hot honey pizza of my dreams - thin crust, large and slightly crispy soppressata slices, and the occasional basil, all drizzled with the perfect amount of honey. The Japanese sweet potatoes were also such a delightful surprise - the rich cake-y texture of sweet potatoes was balanced so nicely by the fresh herbs and husk cherries, such a wonderful combination! Our server was also friendly and helpful. Would come back for sure. read more

So SLICE to find a little taste of New York in LA! Tucked away in the Platform mall in Culver City, Roberta's offers New York-inspired Italian fare, with a menu filled with pizza, pasta and much more. We had to order the Bee Sting, which is their version of a hot honey salami pizza, and is prepared fresh to order in-house via their pizza oven. We also ordered the clam linguine, which was made with housemade pasta, and small but high quality and fresh clams. Overall, the portions were a bit small for the prices, but it's undeniably high quality Italian food that can sometimes prove to be surprisingly elusive in LA. Service was very nice and attentive despite the restaurant being super busy, and even kindly offered us free housemade boysenberry ice cream to apologize for us having to move tables to accommodate a large 10+ person party (although we didn't mind moving away since they were super loud and obnoxious LOL). Parking is unfortunately not validated, but Sweetgreen a few feet down does offer validation. read more

Roberta's is one of the best spots in LA if you're craving a true NY pizza experience on the West Coast. The pies hit exactly how they should, thin, crispy crust, great char, and loaded with flavor. Everything feels balanced and intentional, the kind of pizza that reminds you why New York sets the standard. Standouts for me are the Speckenwolf, Ursula's, and the Bee Sting, all excellent, no wrong choice here. If you miss NY pizza or just want a really well-executed pie in LA, Roberta's absolutely delivers. One of my all-time favorites and always worth the visit. read more

A margherita pizza to dream about. This spot is absolutely worth the hype, everything we ordered tasted fresh and delicious. The bread and stracciatella was also a great side and will absolutely order again next time. The location is great, and parking is located just across the street. Service was also lovely as well. read more

The pizza is delicious but expensive, the ambiance is pretty cool. But the service is none existent yet judgmental at the same time. For that, this restaurant gets 3 stars because all the stars really just go to the food quality, and the -2 stars are for high prices and terrible service. Ordering takeout is probably your best option. read more

Roberta's - Amazing (!) but expensive pizza, and terrible service. - Pizza Near Me - Culver City, California

I was in town and decided to come here on a Tuesday night to catch up with some friends. Making a reservation was easy and we were seated as soon as we arrived. The host was very polite and helpful. He immediately helped us with drink orders. Then a waiter came up and tried taking our order as well. We were confused and asked who our waiter was. She very snappily and kinda rudely responded it was her. We were not a fan of her vibe. Drinks took some time to arrive even though they weren't that busy. Overall service wasn't that great even aside from her poor attitude. The drinks were very good and everyone seemed satisfied with that they ordered. For app we tried the fire and ice. This was delicious! The cheese was so milky and flavorful and I can't remember what was on the bottom but it was such a good compliment. The bread it came with was doughy, warm, and delicious. For entrees we shared 2 pizzas and 2 pastas. We ordered their bee sting pizza (off menu) and their lupo pizza. Both were very good. I was especially a fan of the bountiful mortadella on the lupo pizza. The cacio pepe pasta was the biggest let down of the night. Super flavorless and watery. The bucatini pasta was alright. The guanciale in the sauce was very hard and overcooked. read more

Great potential, but not there yet. Walked half a mile from downtown Culver City after our friend mentioned of Roberta's having good pizza. We were faced with subpar service: only 6 tables occupied, but stood at the front desk for 10 mins to get seated. Once seated, the waiter just disappeared for 15 mins and I had to go inside to mention I'm ready to place an order. Simultaneously, other customers were waiting on their bills, etc. We had the bee sting pizza (not on the menu), it was honestly great, but as you can see my picture..the undercarriage is wet and soggy. All that oil is at the bottom and is like a wet rag. You cannot pick it up without the toppings falling off. If that weren't the case the pizza would've been a strong 4.5/5. Rigatoni Carbonara..this is not a carbonara. You can just call it "butter rigatoni with bacon." That's exactly how it tastes like. Roberta's has huge potential..food and service. Just needs extra love. For anyone in the area, I recommend just eating near downtown Culver City where all the restaurants are. read more

Food was good, but the service and management experience were really disappointing. They denied our request to move heaters for us numerous times while we were sitting outside only to move them immediately for a table who asked an hour later, told us they ran out of all rail vodka and we could only purchase grey goose, and almost told us they had no Pinot Noir. Our meatballs appetizer came out about 30 minutes after the pizzas, and they also forgot a drink order. When I raised these issues to who I was told was the "manager", another "manager" came over and immediately said, "So what's the problem?" in a dismissive tone. Instead of taking ownership, she offered to remove the 20% gratuity in a way that would penalize the only employee who was trying to help us. I wasn't trying to punish the staff -- I was looking for professionalism and accountability. The interaction left a bad impression. Never have left a bad review before but this felt warranted. Go somewhere else, LA has plenty of amazing Italian restaurants with excellent service. read more

This is our go-to pizza takeout spot when we want something more gourmet than our usual pepperoni NY style pizza from Coop. The Bee Sting and Stracciatella are both amazing (the doughy bread dipped in the creamy cheese is dangerously addictive). I do wish the pizza was a smidge thicker, because it gets a bit soggy once it cools. They have a nice patio if you eat there, and it's very family friendly. read more

Roberta's Culver City - Not Worth It!!! We came in with a 7:30pm reservation for 13 people. Five of us--40% of the table--never received our pizzas. Not late. Not delayed. Never. Those that were served their main courses were apologizing to the rest of us as they ate their perfectly mediocre food. It was definitely awkward. What's worse, it took over an hour for our waitress and the hostess to realize anything was wrong. No check-ins, no awareness--just five empty place settings sitting there unnoticed. At 9:00pm, we were told the pizza order never made it to the kitchen. That's not a small mistake--that's a complete breakdown of Roberta's restaurant operations. Something is wrong with this location's team from the hostess to the wait staff. The response from our hostess who stepped in front of the waitress to deliver the bad news that our pizzas would not be arriving? A simple apology. No urgency, no real attempt to fix the situation, no meaningful accommodation. Note our reaction to their complete fail was to be polite and respectfully express our disappointment. The hostess said that she was going to take some items off our bill to make good for their shocking error but that never happened. The food that did arrive didn't help. Across the board, it was dull and forgettable--pasta, burgers, all lacking flavor or personality. For a menu built on simplicity, there's nowhere to hide, and Roberta's doesn't deliver. BTW, I should have known that our dinner was going to be problematic...They were out of their meatball appetizer at 7:30pm. An Italian restaurant that runs out of meatballs on a Friday evening suggests that there are some deeper issues going on at Roberta's in Culver City. This wasn't a minor slip--it was systemic. From order-taking to execution, the entire experience felt inattentive and disjointed. The baseline expectation at any restaurant is simple: everyone gets fed. Roberta's couldn't even clear that bar. read more

Food was amazing - we got the bee sting pizza and it was absolutely delicious. The perfect balance of sweet and heat. Where the experience was disappointing was the service. We ordered a pizza and it was mistakenly delivered to the table beside us. When the wait staff tried to deliver a different pizza to our table, we told them we didn't think this was our order. The wait staff realized their error and then gave the pizza to the table beside us. So people beside us = 2 pizzas (ours and theirs). Us = 0 pizzas. We then had to wait even longer for them to re-make our pizza. There was some small apologies made but no consolation for their error which forced a pretty lengthy wait. Icing on the cake was the people beside us getting boxes to take home all of their leftover pizza while we were still waiting for ours to arrive. Again, just not the best first impression. Rock star food but slow service was a deterrent. read more

We came here for happy hour, which would be awesome if it extended to 6. The roso pizza was good. Staff was very nice. Worth checking out at least once. Happy hour prices for food are reasonable compared to normal menu. read more

My friend want to trying this place so we decided try. Nice location small pretty shopping mall. Cute interior inside. Outdoor was nice too. But food was just so so to me. I looked up reviews before I went there but a bit disappointed. Our waiter recommended spicy and sweet pepperoni pizza. It's was amazing. I would recommend this place pizza but honestly I couldn't recommend pasta. Because it's not pasta wasn't cooked and better pasta anywhere else. They signature bread with burrata cheese it's ok. I requested honey and tasted better in my opinion. Waiter was very accommodating. I will definitely go back this place for only pizza again. read more

Really wanted to love this because it's close to home, but the food is overly salty and the service slow. They also tried to seat my dad and me in the back even if there were several open tables in the front, awkward vibes. Not rushing back. read more

Delicious yummy artisan pizza, great service, reasonable price... couldn't ask for more! We didn't see the pizza with the toppings we wanted on the menu, but our waitress was on it and worked with us to figure out the best, cheapest way to order exactly the pizza we wanted...we got the tomato based sauce, the creamy tastey taleggio cheese with just the toppings we wanted! Their pizza dough was excellent, perfectly crispy with no burnt taste around the crust and soft and chewy on the inside. We saw a couple tables away get served an intriguing dinner size plate of pizza dough bread. It came out reminiscent of a volcano, all puffed up and steaming looking tantalizing. Had to ask the waitress, "What is that?" She explained that they cook it to order and it comes with house made cultured butter or creamy stracciatella cheese. Definitely will be going back for that! read more

YOU GUYS! We almost never write reviews, but we had to for this experience. I used to live in Brooklyn and went to the original Roberta's countless times, but the Culver City location.... was phenomenal. We truly weren't expecting to have such an insanely positive experience, and went in thinking it may not be exactly the same, but were proven SO wrong. The pasta was perfect, the pizza dough was everything we remembered from New York and more, the boysenberry ice cream was the perfect Southern California touch and the bread was truly some of the best bread I've ever had. We got to talk to the manager for a bit, and her focus on sourcing from local farmers made so much sense in the quality of the food. Culver City has captured something special -- Brooklyn could take a page out of their book. ;) read more

Absolutely awful. The service was so slow and they completely forgot about our table. Had a bunch of different waiters and you could easily tell the communication is nonexistent. Not sure if the manager doesn't care about this place or what's going on. Multiple tables had issues as well. Never again. read more

First time at Roberta's and I was impressed by the food! I loved the Snap Peas and the Pesto pizza. We also got a Bee Sting, which was good but the sauce was a bit too watery. Only cons for me would be the watery pizza sauce and the overall prices being fairly high. Service was solid! They even managed to seat us early despite our reservation time. The food came out very fast, but it didn't feel like anyone was rushing us through the meal. The outdoor ambiance was nice! The outdoor terrace area was nice to enjoy despite it being a full house for a Friday night. read more

I had an extremely disappointing experience. While having dinner with my family. Our sweet waiter was making a connection with our young son being jovial and kind. Within half an hour of being there we watched a woman(who I found out was the general manager) berate and yell at our waiter. Not in a back room but within 15 feet of my 4 year old son in the main dining room. She seemed oblivious to the fact that other people were in the room. She stomped around the very small dining room and back kitchen barking orders to others and nosily slamming items on counters. I told another waiter we will never be coming back, I told our waiter I felt terrible to watch him be treated this way.i won't comment on anything else because this was my lasting impression. read more

located in a lively plaza in culver city - little to no street parking available but there is a parking structure for a small fee. overall i thought the food was very delicious, well made, and had quality ingredients. my fave dish was their bee sting pizza which is off menu but kind of their signature dish. the honey pairs so well with the pepperoni and almost tastes caramelized from the baking. might be one of the best pizzas ive ever had. would come here just to eat this. a few other dishes we ordered that were decent was the stracciatella w bread and linguine w clams. the bread comes out so hot and pairs so well with the stracciatella cheese. we also got a shroomsday device pizza as well as a gem lettuce salad which i didn't love too much. read more

3.5/5 stars The melon prosciutto was a pretty good combo, but it was surprisingly spicy and the chili flakes kept making us choke. The cacio e pepe was good, but the portion was small. The pizza was a little burnt, but the sausage and tomato were good together. The carbonara took so long to come out only to taste just like the cacio e pepe, but with oily bacon. read more

When I visited NY, Roberta's was one of my favorites. When they opened here, I had to go and get me a pie and see if it's close to the same to their original location. I can definitely say it is just as good! Every time me and my wife came to get a pie, it was nothing short my delicious. I would say the ambiance here is much better than the original. To top everything off, I've had good service every time. read more

I recently enjoyed my second time at Roberta's and was just as impressed, if not more impressed than my first time dining here. I ordered the Bee Sting pizza, the Bikini Bottom cocktail, and tiramisu for dessert. The crust on the pizza is delicious, has some chew/bite to it, and slight char which I really like. The Bikini Bottom cocktail is a delicious, well-balanced tiki-adjacent cocktail. The tiramisu is hands-down the best I've ever had and I'd consider stopping in just to have it. The space is a little small, but with how excellent everything else is, I don't mind. read more

Been here a few years ago and I remembered the good bloody's, the big fluffy bread thing w/the cheese & olive oil, and yummy pastas. Had the perfect opportunity to come so we did !! Came on a Sunday and they were able to get us in. Really nice day to eat on the patio. Lots of greenery. Ok so the STRACCIATELLA is the best app. That's the bread w/cheese and olive oil. SO bomb. Never had anything like it. Then we got a pasta. Yum. The steak & eggs wasn't it, though. The potatoes were too sweet? Steak way too fatty. Orange wine is fire. Not many places know about it. Boyfriend loved the pachanga cocktail (mezcal w like a really fresh green juice mix mash). But the most important this trip here was George, our server. Really took care of us!! Such a good, hard worker and kind person. read more

Roberta's has a lovely outdoor patio and very attentive servers. It's a casual dining space at the Culver City Platform. The stracciatella is an excellent starter that goes well with the lettuces salad. My go to pizza is the bee sting that has the perfect balance with honey and the pepperoni. read more

All I have to say is get the BREAD! It will change your life. Also the salad is as delicious and the pizza I left feeling so satisfied. We had great service and not a long wait without reservations on a Friday. I've been twice already and def coming back! read more

Sad to update this review but felt compelled based on my two most recent experiences at Roberta's. Both times had quality control issues on a few of the pizzas we ordered, most notably with pizzas being way too charred (and in one case very underbaked). I love a little char on my pizza but this was a bit egregious with one pizza with a hole quite literally burned through the bottom (probably also due to not being stretched properly/evenly). In my most recent experience there was a quarter sized chunk of char stuck to the bottom of the pizza which I didn't notice until I took a bite out of it and had the horrific experience of feeling like I bit into some Kingsford charcoal. I'm sure mistakes happen so I don't want to over criticize but these were really rough experiences and I'm not sure I'd come back again after; even though this has been my go-to pizza spot in Culver for many years now. read more

Made a reservation on OpenTable for dinner. Arrived at the restaurant only to be told they were out of tables and would seat us when something was available. After waiting 15 minutes, they told us that we made our reservation too close to the reservation time and it would be another 20 minutes before a table would be available. Staff was rude and unprofessional, would give 0 stars if I could. read more

Everything is so delicious! Best pizza, salad, and pasta! I've been to the one in Brooklyn too!

Roberta's always hits the mark. The staff is amazing and super friendly and really knows the menu, they make great recommendations without being pushy, and you can tell they actually care that you have a good experience. The place has such a great vibe too. It's always packed, but in the best way fun, lively, and full of good energy. The food was incredible. We started with a few appetizers that were honestly so good we could've just stuck with those. The fire and ice is one of those dishes you keep thinking about after the meal. The porchetta was another highlight crispy edges, tender inside, and that verde salsa on the side was the perfect touch. What really surprised us was the pizza from the guest chef. Potatoes on pizza sounded a little odd at first, but our server recommended it and it ended up being the favorite of the night. Just so, so good. Already can't wait to go back. This place just gets it right every time. read more

My little slice of pizza heaven...everything cheesy and fresh. Please start with the homemade stracciatella and the green lettuces salad, both a must. Bee sting pizza, Margherita pizza or wagyu beef ribeye...can't go wrong. And just eat the ice cream! Great service, and cool ambiance. read more

Roberta's - Great drinks too! - Pizza Near Me - Culver City, California

I rarely write negative reviews but feel compelled to warn others when the experience is genuinely so bad. 3 gals and I were there at 445pm which is happy hour. Surprised the service was so bad considering we were the only ones in the restaurant. We wanted to get a happy hour pizza but by the time someone came to take our order it was past 5pm and they charged us regular dinner prices (little annoying but not the end of the world). We got the straciatella cheese with pita + 2 pizzas + 2 pastas. I've been here before and the quality didn't use to be like this - pita & all pizza was burned / charred so bad there was almost no bread bite at all (seeing another recent review which states the same thing). The straciatella cheese use to be really creamy and full but this one was tasteless and literally flat like it has been sitting out for some time.. The bucatini was fine but the cacio pepe was literally the worst cacio pepe I've ever had. The noodles didn't have bounce (didn't taste fresh made) and the sauce was laughable. Again, I hate to be this harsh and in other settings I wouldn't say anything but for these prices.. I was still hungry after the meal because ultimately I didn't eat much!! My friends all felt the same!! We didn't even take the leftovers because we knew we wouldn't eat it.. overall just not a great experience at all. read more

5 stars for the pizzas. The marinara sauce was so so amazing, possibly one of the best I've ever had. Their dough is amazing as well. If you come here, get the pizzas. That's what they're known for. I wasn't super fond of the straciatelle and anchovies, but that may just be a me problem. 3 stars for the pasta. They weren't the worst I've ever had, but the clam linguine was so bland I don't even know if they seasoned it with anything other than salt (and a lot of it). The bucatini with guanciale was pretty good, the sauce was great, if a little salty, but I'm not a fan of the guanciale (again, may be a me problem? it was too chewy for my liking). This is sorta my fault for ordering pastas since they're known for their doughs and pizzas, so I won't take off too many points for this. read more

I visited Roberta's a few times on different trips to the platform. It's always a great excuse to have a meal and a day of shopping. This restaurant is a really solid Italian spot, that is Pizza forward. I guess they have an original location in Brooklyn, New York, which makes a lot of sense. We went for brunch and had a really nice time outside in the sun, with a few drinks and a cheese plate with prosciutto and we split a pizza. Take a look at the photos, but everything was super delicious. They have a lot of fun wildcard items on the menu so I would definitely go back and try a dinner here for some of the other eats. read more

This spot is always packed when I visit Culver City, so I was super curious to try it out. The food was decent; we ordered the lamb garganelle, which was like a lemony lamb pasta, and the bee sting pizza, which was a salami and hot honey pizza. The pizza was a standout, but I don't think it holds its own to LA italian food. Also, the service took way too long, but nice vibe overall. read more

Roberta's - Pizza Near Me - Culver City, California

With its friendly host, spacious outdoor patio, and eclectic interior, I stepped into Roberta's thinking it had potential. Unfortunately, I left knowing it was painfully mediocre at best. We were greeted and seated promptly, and after about 7 minutes our server let us know that he'd be with us promptly. Unfortunately, it took him quite a while to circle back to us. This behavior was unfortunately consistent throughout the entire night, but seemingly only with our table. Whenever we'd ask him for something (to-go boxes, the check, dessert, drinks) it took at least 10-15 minutes to get back to us. At first I thought he may have been swamped, but as the restaurant cleared out, it was clear that wasn't the case. Service was so slow and forgetful for us that a couple who came in 1.5 hours after us got their to-go boxes at the same time as us. Our meal also wasn't properly paced. My pizza came out before my friend's and before our appetizer and we both had our entrees before our drinks came out even though she ordered a bottled drink and an ice tea. But I could've forgiven all of this if the food and bevs were good. Sadly, they were decidedly not. I'd say the bread with clarified butter was the best thing I ate all night. It was soft and airy, which I thought bode well for my pizza. Unfortunately, my Bee Sting pizza (formerly on the secret menu) was pretty bad. I love a drizzle of honey on my pizza, but it literally felt like my whole pie had been dunked in a vat of honey. Way too sweet and overpowering, it was the dominant taste of the pizza. Not even the soppressata could counterbalance it. I tasted no spice and no sauce and the abundance of honey made my pie so soggy. I'm talking you pick a slice up and everything, including the cheese, falls off the pie. I couldn't finish it and didn't even want to. My friend's pizza was only slightly better. She has enjoyed the Roberta's in NYC often, but said she would not return to the LA location. The sugar snap peas were fresh with a great texture, but bland. Meanwhile, my mocktail, which was supposed to boast flavors of pineapple, ginger, and mint tasted like a watered down mess. It was as if all the ice had melted in a terrible tasting juice. I thought maybe the night could be saved with dessert and we ordered the tiramisu, but it was just ok. Good texture, huge portion, but again somehow bland. We didn't even eat half of it. I'm happy to drop money on a meal, but the taste has to justify the price and I was beyond disappointed. Oh, and if you decide to go, avoid the last stall on the right in the women's bathroom. The toilet is broken and it splashed back up at me and got all over my leg. I let my server know and he promised to share feedback with maintenance. But just in case he forgot...it's better safe than sorry because it was gross. 2.5 stars, but I had to round down this time. read more
