We had a wonderful birthday celebration for my husband at Ronan. They were very accommodating for our party of 8 and easy to book a reservation with in advance. We sat at the large communal table inside, and there's decent outdoor seating as well. They gave us the option for prix fixe or a la carte. We opted for a la carte so we could try more things. Drinks were tasty - but a few of us ordered off menu since the cocktails were a little fancy for our liking. For appetizers, we all loved the caesar and carrots, but the broccolini was solid too. The ribs had an excellent seasoning and the meat fell off the bones. For pizzas, my ranking in order of top to bottom: 1) Sweet Cheeks, 2) Spicy Chomper, 3) Ode to Philippe Calzone, 4) Special Pizza (No Big Dill), and 5) How 'Nduja Want It? All of the flavors were innovative and delicious--it's nice to go to a pizza spot that is actually unique and inventive such as this. The pizzas come in 6 slices but we were able to split the larger slices in half so everyone could try each one. For our party of 8, we finished almost everything except about 3.5 slices of pizza total. If you want leftovers, this was a good order but if you don't want to over-order, I'd suggest one item less than we got. They brought out a tiramisu with a candle for my husband at the end of the meal, which was a perfect ending. Water service was impeccable and they were quick to grab empty plates to keep the table clean. For parking, there's valet, but options in the neighborhood if you don't mind a short walk. Overall, a terrific meal, and one I'd highly recommend to others. read more

Great spot on Melrose for pizza! They have a parking lot but it could get busy but it shouldn't be too hard to find metered parking nearby. Portions are massive here so come with a large party. Orders come out fairly quickly after ordering which I love!! There is seating indoor and outdoor on the patio. Get the chilaquiles and thank me later. read more

One of thee best and most unique Cesar Salads I've tasted. I would say another standout for me was the pork ribs. Highly recommend the pizza too. read more

WOW WOWOW WOW! This was one of those "I just happened upon it" spots while visiting LA. I usually avoid pizza when traveling because I eat so much of it at home (don't judge me!). But I am so glad I found myself at Ronan. This place was jam packed on a Saturday night, but I found myself a perfect spot at one of their community tables. Pizza-- what the actual HECK!? This could very well be the best pizza I've ever had. The dough is absolutely perfect and chewy and delicious, and I LOVE how it has some char-grilled spots on it. Flavortown, baby. You cut the pizza yourself, which is a new concept to me. I didn't get a chance to ask why... I guess I will leave it a mystery! Drinks-- crushed ice. Need I say more? Ronan offers a full bar. And the drinks did not disappoint. Oh, I absolutely loved how they present the bill. They give you a little card that honors their staff that created your meal. I just find that really appreciative and it shows the integrity of the restaurant. So, if you're catching a show at The Groundlings Theatre across the street, definitely grab a bite to eat here first. You won't regret it. read more

Wanted to enjoy this but the pizza wasn't great. Too bready, too much chard in the crust. The table next it's had a beautiful margarita pizza and when we got it, it was subpar. On top of that, service was subpar. Hostess and bussers very nice though. Servers and runners felt like a clock in clock out situation. People next to us got better service, and never got the rundown of the menu. We asked for parm because the pizzas didn't have enough toppings on the "cooked dough" and was charged for extra. Extremely disappointed. Our Caesar salad was amazing btw. But that was it. read more

Pizza of the month at Ronan the other day. Best pizza in LA I have had no question about it. Immediately I was taken in by Ronan's cheque modern vibe. Walking up I almost wanted to switch our indoor reservation to the outdoor space to cause the energy was so infectious. But the indoor has a great vibe to it. A few booths, people sitting up at the bar, and a communal table for others to share. Aside from the pizza, the rest of the menu looked great. The pork meat balls specifically caught my eye. But for my main course, I went with the spicy chomper. This thing tasted amazing. What a great pie packed with just enough heat to enrich its flavor profiles. My buddy got the sweet cheeks, which to be honest, I think is even better. The cocktails were good too but I think it's the last time I drink one while eating pizza. Didn't float well with the taste buds. Overall, Ronan is a great spot in LA for good Italian and spectacular pies. Definitely going to be coming back and recommending to all. read more

Ronan - spicy chomper - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

To start with, our server Laura was very strange with her customer service. She was abrupt and not welcoming. All of our pizzas were burnt! They also took over an hour to come to the table. Not worth the wait or the hype, I'm not sure why it was full of people. One star for the busser only, he was on top of it. The service is slow and the food isn't good. read more

Overall: Very creative flavors here but the execution seemed a bit inconsistent. Staff-very nice and attentive to us Mocktail- WOW it's hard to find non-alcoholic drinks that aren't just straight sugary juice and this one was so balanced and satisfying :) Appetizer: focaccia bread (not pictured) was so good and the carrots were tasty but the texture was inconsistent with some feeling underdone/a bit crunchy Pizza: the spicy chomper was a bit salty and both our pizzas were a bit too burnt and soggy for my taste. I know that this style of more authentic Italian pizza can be that way but they were somewhat challenging to eat because it affected the structure and the toppings were all falling off. (Side note: a friend said it is not usually that soggy so maybe ours was an off night). That said if what you're known for is your pizza, I think consistency it's important. Dessert: it was good but I'm used to tiramisu having a darker slightly stronger flavored cocoa powder and more espresso soaked cake, but if you like a milder flavor you'll like this one Accessibility: low light (may be good if you're sensitive to light, or a challenge if you have low vision), much of the seating was hard wood with no cushion which may be uncomfortable for some, but not too crowded even for a holiday weekend which was good for noise level and social stress. read more

First time here and this pizza is unlike any I have had. They definitely have a signature cheese and sauce flavor. Cesar Salad: 10/10 Great dressing, oversized crunchy croutons and red cabbage all added to a great salad. Pepper sprinkled added a pleasant touch Margarita pizza: 10/10 Ok here is where it's interesting. The cheese and sauce in this is nothing like I have had in SoCal. Excellent combination of sweet and savory. So delicious. Ordered it without anchovies and it was just the right about of salt. read more

Okay. Well that was the best caesar salad I've ever had in my entire life. Bravo to whoever came up with that lol read more

We sat at the patio, very spacious and comfortable. The Caesar was a big salad with a heavy flavor. You can do with or without anchovies, a good salad. The Roasted Fingerling Potatoes were delicious. For pizza, we tried Spicy Chomper & Brooklyn. Spicy Chomper has salami while Brookly has shaved mushroom. For Brooklyn, you can do Sherman Oaks style - adding garlic & black olives. I recommend this addition to garlic lovers. Both are really good. Note that they are not pre-cut, so you might struggle a bit. We ended the night with Tiramisu, a generous slice. We left the restaurant happy and with a lot of leftovers. I definitely recommend giving this restaurant try. Service is pretty good. The restaurant is located in a busy area, but we were able to find street parking. read more

Great cocktails and interesting and carefully chosen wine list. The Caesar salad with fresh farmer's market lettuces and perfect bouquerones is one of the best in the whole city. A lesson for all other LA chefs to take notice. And don't miss the stellar roasted carrots with yogurt, honeycomb and coriander. (Suzanne Goin endorsed appetizer). Pizzas are good, and might have been better had the music not been so annoyingly loud - especially for a Sunday night. That's my only criticism I can come up with. The volume was so deafening that it cheapened the experience and made the vibe feel unworthy of the thoughtfulness and care that went into the cooking. The owners weren't in, and I felt like there needed to be a grownup minding the store. Otherwise, no notes. I wish there was another location closer to the beach or further east, for those times when Melrose isn't what you're craving. read more

Finally had a date night after many months and I'm so glad we tried this place. Food was delicious and services great. We really enjoyed the Cesar salad I loved the different lettuce used and dressing was on point. Wood fire focaccia was made to perfection soft and perfection. We enjoyed every item we ordered and will definitely be returned to try more. read more

The perfect spot for a casual dinner! We made a reservation for 2 people on the patio, but it wasn't too crowded when we arrived. The vibes were very cute & quiet - I can't speak to the inside, but I would absolutely sit on the patio again. We started with the caesar salad which was good, but a little too fishy for my taste. There were full pieces of anchovies on it which isn't my thing, but I know that's just a preference. The pizzas were the main star of the show here. We split what we were told were 2 of the favorites - spicy chomper and sweet cheeks. Both were INCREDIBLE! Cooked perfectly, a lot of flavor, and a good portion size. I think the spicy chomper was my favorite because it was very savory and the perfect amount of spice, but the sweet cheeks also was the perfect balance of sweet & savory. The desserts & drinks looked good too! Will have to try on the next visit. read more

Do NOT do delivery. This restaurant is okay in-person, but I recently ordered delivery and it was NOT good. Food was subpar. Skip the "Caesar" salad, it has no flavor. The arancini was sadly boring and desperately needed a sauce to help it out. And the "surprise" red wine that I paid $35 for tasted like bad kombucha -- cold, weak, effervescent, and total garbage. Couldn't even finish one glass. What a gamble. It was hot pink, not red. Swing and a miss. Glad I cleared an unsellable bottle from the back of their shelf just to pour it down the drain. I won't order takeout from here again, and I recommend that no one else does. Postmates conveniently doesn't let you rate the restaurant on the app, so it lives here. read more

Excellent service and food. Parking wasn't too bad when we went around 6pm on a weekday. The patio dining was lined with plants.

Enjoyed it. Sat outside very peaceful inside was bustling. Some good deals for happy hour. I'm not a huge fan of eating pizza at sit down restaurant but was pleasantly surprised. I dig the char & the crust and dough was just right. I've had all the best NYC pizza so I've been around. The salads tables next to us got looked great. We also got the massive roast beef calzone points for creativity. Wish they had one with classic red sauce and meatballs or something. Good cocktails & unique beers. Service was friendly I live nearby so will def. be back. read more

I made a reservation for 6 people and chose the outdoor patio based on an article that I had read saying that the patio was the "place to be" but was a bit concerned that it would be too cold - it was semi enclosed and there were space heaters, so we were fine on an ~50 degree night. It's a great choice as either a casual+ or more upscale spot and would be great if you want to go somewhere nice but not seem like you are trying too hard. The thing to get here is definitely the pizza - both the pork meatballs and broccolini were overpriced and underwhelming at $18. But we had pretty much all of the pizzas represented at our table and they were all very good. Not the best pizza in LA, but definitely among the better. read more

WOW. Just wow. Came in tonight for a dinner with my friends. Received exceptional service from Abby. She came in strong with great wine recommendations, as well as pro tips on the food. With her help we were able to order just enough food to be able to thoroughly enjoy our desserts. Our must haves: The sweet cheeks pizza The focaccia with burrata The meatballs Total side note, this restaurant manages to walk the line between being busy, well curated, and not too loud. Never once did I feel like I was yelling it also seem like the bar was a super cute scene, may be a great one for dates. read more

If you loved and missed the pies served at the late, great Sotto then have I got great news for you: they've been resurrected in Ronan. We sampled the margherita which was loaded with a salad's worth of basil and the nduja pizza which was essentially a riff on the flavors of buffalo wings. Both pizzas toppings sets were exceptional but the star of the show was the dough and the bake itself. Everything I remembered from Sotto if not even a little better -- plump crust puffed up like an oh-so-soft overstuffed down pillow, huge bubbled leopard spotting char riding a fine line just shy of too-burnt, and a tender supple chew. read more

Incredible ambiance, has a cozy but modern feel to it. The service was standard, friendly server. We ordered the steak tartare and the arancini as appetizers. I wanted to love the tartare but it was disappointing as the rice they cooked and mixed in with the steak was so overcooked that with every bite I nearly broke my tooth. The flavor of the tartare itself could have been great if it weren't for the rice shards. The arancini was delightful. Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. A nice mushroom/rice blend with Parmesan on top. For our main course, we ordered the queen b*tch and the spicy chomper. Both pizzas had great texture and perfect dough. The queen was a simple margarita with loads of cheese an ample basil. The spicy one had finely chopped soppressata and a little tangy but spicy kick. They were tied in flavor. If you want a simple yet delicious pizza, this is a good spot. Just maybe skip on the steak tartare unless you have excellent dental insurance read more

The food is amazing and the service was just so so. We had a delightful night sharing dishes.

We had a girls night last night at Ronan and it was fabulous! From the moment we sat down the ambience, the service, the delicious cocktails, and amazing food made for a perfect night! Highly recommend the focaccia & burrata to start. We enjoyed carrots, broccolini and their delicious salad. Next step we enjoyed the Zucca and Margherita pizzas and finish the night with a scoop of homemade coffee and Oreo & strawberry ice cream! Next time you're looking for a perfect dinner out, look no further than Ronan! read more

I honestly had been food than here. The Caesar was too salty, the steak tartare had too much oil, pizza was just mediocre. For spending $140, I could have use my money for the Maui Zaui at Round Table Pizza. Service that night was lacking as they were trying to serve everyone else and it took awhile to get a to-go box. I also didn't like how we sat in the center table with other people with close proximity. I wasn't really able to talk to my partner about a semi-private conversation (I was about a foot and a half away from the next stranger at the seating table. We ordered a lot and there wasn't much table space. I can see the other couples next to us struggling to place their food on the table also. It was a pretty big let down considering the reviews that this place had. I would not recommend this place. I also didn't like that in the fine print they include a 4% tip due to employee healthcare cost. It's no longer a tip if it's forced.. read more

My kids wanted pizza so we decided to try this place. I need to say everything was very delicious. The appetizers all were very tasty. Pizza dough was perfect. And the desserts very yummy. The place is nice inside and has a cozy terrace. read more

Really wanted to love this place but pizza was so oily drenched in chili oil (not a fine drizzle but drenched in oil) and as a result was very heavy on the palate. I was excited by the pictures online but was heavily disappointed by the lack of finesse of the pizza. They had Hip hop playing the entire time. (Nothing wrong with hip hop but there's a place and a time). Tables were sticky. Grime on the walls. Not a classy ambience at all, especially for the price of the menu. I'd rather skip and go somewhere a bit classier. Settebello has nicer, more refined Neapolitan style pizzas. Check Gambero Rosso for other "authentic" pizza places like Nardo. read more

As far as Neapolitan style pizza goes, Ronan was great! While parking was difficult on weho side streets, it was worth it. We sat at the bar and enjoyed cocktails made by our very kind waiter.

PARKING: valet in the front, or metered parking in the area. VIBE: inside looked super cute but had a very fishy smell. We had a reservation and were luckily already seated in the patio which was great! There are a lot of flies so we were swatting a lot, but that's expected with any patio and I'd rather be in the fresh air with COVID anyway. FOOD (split for 4 people): - Cesar salad: I don't normally eat cesar salads because I'm not a fan of the dressing but this one was SO good. The lettuce was nice and crisp and fresh, dressing was perfectly done and coated the salad but not too heavy, and I like anchovies so those were good too. - broccolini: the sauce on the broccolini is so good! I think I literally dipped my pizza crust in it. Would get again. - spicy chomper pizza: we got it because it looked popular on yelp & our server recommended it. So so good! - sweet cheeks pizza: we also got it because it was popular on yelp & server recommended. The ricotta tasted like it was sheep or goat's milk (not cow) which I'm not a huge fan of, but I still ate it because the pizza itself was yummy! We came to Ronan since it had been on so many food lists lately and I'm glad we found it! There's a ton of good Italian food in LA so I never want to waste a good Italian meal out, but this one is definitely a good find to add to your list! read more

I'm so confused by what I just ordered and what I received. I noticed there was a new baby back ribs dish on the menu at the far bottom of the plates section and got really excited. It was $27 dollars ($31.05 with DoorDash) mark-up. This "half-rack" of ribs was 4 tiny pieces of bone in pork, roughly each one the size of a piece of Panda Express orange chicken. These things were smaller then the arancini pieces which is 2/3 of the price. I've ordered from Ronan before and know the plates are smaller and for sharing. But for comparison there is a pork meatballs dish for 2/3 of the price and just one of those meatballs has more meat on it then this entire order of "baby back ribs" combined. As for the other items, the side salad was very minimalistic. The spring arancini was decent but really wished there was more garlic to offset the blandness of the peas. read more

I'm in love with the texture of their pizza dough. The spicy chomper pizza is my favorite but I enjoyed all the pizzas I've tried so far here. Recently we tried the Philippe which is like a calzone and that was pretty good. I love eating the crust. One complaint would be all the food is very heavy in salt. Especially the salt level in the salads and veggies dishes were almost unbearable. We avoid ordering too many sides since they all seem pretty salty. The pizza tends to be good but still makes me super thirsty after dinner. I'm glad they offer patio dining but take out seems like a good idea too. The wood-fire cheesecake was delicious and the added fresh passion fruit was a good compliment! It was a little odd too that they told us we had to walk in to order but took the orders of a Caucasian family outside next to their table. Oh well, just FYI for Asians. Overall worth trying. Order the pizza only! And They sell pizza dough! read more

Made a reservation for my friend and I here and had no issue getting a table for 2. The parking situation is not ideal, but you can find street parking if you hunt! We got 2 pizzas, the Grape Escape and Margarita with burrata. I would say I liked the Grape Escape better than the Margarita, but honestly both were good. The service was fine, nothing to write home about. Our waitress kind of trailed off after our main course order and we had to flag her down for the check and a box. I think the reason that I'm giving this place 4 stars is the price point to pizza ratio. I just think the pizza at $22 a pie is just too much for what you get, and I didn't think the pizzas were anything out of the ordinary sadly. read more

Ronan - Grape Escape & Margarita with burrata - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very pleasant outside, nice friendly warm staff. Good vibes. Pizzas were overly salty, soft and doughy. Red better than white. A casual pizza meal that runs nearly $100 pp (shared salad, two pizzas, shared desert, 4 beers) is just too expensive. I realize many of its competitors charge the same, but they're overpriced too! read more

So I'm a big pizza lover, so much I got it tattooed on me- so you know the love is real. I first went here with my husband and had an amazing experience from the attentive service to the amazingly tasty food, and the friendly inviting vibes this place gave. Everything is so intentional and it's very obvious that there is a lot of thought and love put into every aspect of this restaurant. My father in law was going to be in town and we hyped this place up so much that we had to come back for more! We got the steak tartar to start which was incredibly flavorful and had great texture and a perfect ounce of spice. We then ordered what is known as "the queen bitch" which is the marg plus burrata- highly recommend if you love contrasting temperatures and cheese! We also got the sweet cheeks pizza which was insanely delicious and surprisingly light. All to say, I can't wait to go back here again and try more seasonal drinks and food! read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend who's a chef. He doesn't make bad suggestions. But apparently this place is different, and far worse, than I expected. I ordered pickup tonight, arrived about 15 min early to get my food so I expected to wait. But ended up waiting 30 min and my pickup was 15 minutes late. Stood in the parking lot while it was raining and watched as 5 orders came out before I got mine. When I got home I was surprised to find a TINY pie, that didn't event touch the sides of the box. The size of this pizza was smaller than a personal pie, yet Ronan charges $28 for the "spicy chomper". The consistency was overly doughy and had a strong sourdough taste with zero crispness. The center had what looked like 1 oz of cheese with some spicy bacon bits loaded on top. Overall this pizza was too small and too soft - I suspect this is because the dough wasn't stretched out enough. Also the spicy pork bits were all over the pie and overpowered every other ingredient. My honest opinion is that this pie was crap. I'm from New York and I've had a lot of pizza in my life, good and bad, this was an absolute letdown and worse than ALL the other pizza I've tried in LA so far. Not to mention wildly overpriced. The meatballs were homemade looking, and clearly also weren't very well thought out. Swimming in a container full of red sauce, crumbly, with an uneven texture and a significant amount of chewy uncooked meat strewn throughout. Had 2/3 and tossed the rest. I don't waste food but this was NOT GOOD. And $20! I can buy 2 full packages of ground beef/pork for $20, where does the money go?! Overall very unhappy with this experience. $46 for food that was not worth 1/3 that price. The box came with a card that suggested you tip the employees elsewhere through some other website. THE AUDACITY!! If you have a "family owned restaurant" that charges so much money for food, why not pay your employees adequately so perhaps they can do a better job cooking the food you serve. Most importantly, I hate leaving bad reviews. I'm sure the staff does work hard. But this was just an awful experience. Do better. read more
