The Diavola pizza I ended up choosing was so good--perfect balance of spice, richness, and that classic wood-fired taste. The bolognese was super authentic and just oozing with flavor, and the Caesar salad totally surprised me--in the best way. It had these tiny crunchy crumbs on top that gave it such a unique texture. BUT I have to mention something that really threw me off. I asked one of the pizza makers which pizza she recommended because I was stuck between a few options, and she paused, looked at me, and said, "I don't really like the pizzas here." I genuinely didn't know how to respond. I even had to double-check with my friend to make sure I heard her correctly. It was such a strange moment... especially because the pizza ended up being amazing. On the flip side, our server was fantastic. Even though she was clearly slammed, she kept checking in and made sure we knew she hadn't forgotten about us. That level of attentiveness goes a long way. Overall: incredible food, great service, but one very confusing interaction. I'd definitely come back..just maybe skip asking the pizza maker for recommendations next time

We landed on the back patio, which is the move -- string lights, trees, really cute. Your other options are a few tables out restaurant-side or a boxed-in area on the street side. Just know it's all outside, and even with heaters around it gets chilly at night. We came for the pizza and that's exactly where the focus should stay: * Cacio e pepe pizza: Surprisingly delicious. Not a 1-1 with the pasta you're familiar with, but still really good and worth ordering. * Diavola: Spicy and always my favorite. * Margherita: Classic and solid, always worth having. * Rigatoni with pink vodka sauce: Server's rec for most popular sauce, and it delivered. * Little gem salad: Super herbaceous and delicious. * Arancini: Skip it. Middling for the price point... put that money toward another pizza. Pizzas and pastas run $25-29. FYI there's a 3% Healthy LA fee on your bill. Payment is handled tableside on a touchpad (card, Apple Pay, etc.). Vibe is cute, service was helpful, and I'd definitely return to lean even harder into the pizza menu. Parking: Meters up and down both sides of the street - plenty of options (and more on the other side of the street).

I work right across the street somehow missed this little spot tucked along Ocean Park, but…read moreGhisallo was such a pleasant surprise. Came here for a casual lunch with colleagues and left already planning my next visit. The pizza is shockingly affordable for Santa Monica--and actually filling, which feels rare these days. I ordered the Market Vegetable and loved the fresh arugula piled on top (always a win for me). Everything tasted bright, fresh, and thoughtfully put together. But the real hidden gem? The back patio. I had no idea it even existed since the front seating gets all the attention, but the patio feels like a little oasis--quiet, charming, and perfect for a relaxed lunch break. Great food, great value, and an unexpectedly lovely atmosphere. Definitely adding this to my regular rotation.

Gluten free pizza review :…read more Pepperoni Pizaa -GF - 6.5/10 Gluten free dough is actually really good. Texture was great. Pizza tastes a bit oily and strangely spicy, but yet still a bit bland. Not sure how you accomplish that. Size of the Gluten free pizza is pretty small for the cost, it looks like 1/2 a pizza. Olives were terrible. All of them. Inedible. Not sure why anyone thought these were any good. I've had canned ones that are insanely better. Sad, I was really excited to try this place.

Ambience plays a huge role in how you feel in the dining room--Cosetta did it right. The staff is warm and welcoming, making it easier to feel right at home. Kenzie was our server and she made the whole dining experience wonderfully entertaining. We definitely felt like special guests. To start, we had a chicken live mousse. Although it was great, the sourdough definitely stood out. It felt fresh, even when we came close to closing. The yellowtail crudo that our server recommended was the favorite of the two Crudo dishes, but maybe I'm biased because there was SE Asian influence (and I'm Vietnamese). I'm most impressed with the small details in the execution of the dishes. Like how did they make the shell pasta dish crispy, WITHOUT making it dry? How did they make the chicken Milanese so crispy and light? How did they make the pizza so thin, yet not flimsy? Ive dined at over 80 of the LA Time's 101 Top Restaurants and these are the details that make me come back for more. Our party liked everything we ordered. From the smoked mozzarella stick to the Wagyu tri tip. The finishing polenta cake was the blueberry on top (literally had blueberries). Cosetta does a lot of things right--being hospitable and having high standards for their food are just a couple.

I never post. We…read morecould have picked any place in the city for Mother's Day. We chose this place because of the reviews, casual environment and we heard everything was food forward. Our reservation was for 2 PM. At 2:15 the manager came over and said we had to put all our orders in, and the kitchen was closing. We were rushed on a Sunday afternoon on Mother's Day. They dropped everything right away to get us out. I took my wife, my daughter and my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law can barely walk so to take her out is a process and something special. I get it. Probably long Sunday for the team. But do not take a 2 PM reservation if you're going to rush people out. It's not fair. My wife wanted a casual lazy Sunday brunch with her mom and her daughter and we were wrapped by 2:45pm. This wasn't right. Especially on a Sunday Mother's Day. We eat all over town. The food was good. Main wait staff was nice. And good ambiance. Drinks and food product is on point. I would like management to reach out and make this up to my wife and mother-in-law. 323-810-2537

This is my 3rd time here and one of my absolute favorite pizza spots. There's a reason they rank…read moretop 2 in the USA... it's honestly well deserved!! The place is small so if you want to do a walk in be prepared to wait, but the wait is honestly so random. One time I got in 25 minutes later and next time 45 minutes. First time, I got takeout and was honestly disappointed. The pizza got cold during the 12 minute walk back to my apartment and it just didn't hit the same because it wasn't fresh. Second time, we did a walk-in on a Sunday and somehow got really lucky. Waited about 20 minutes at a nearby coffee shop because of cancellations. We got the Margherita special and Ruti's pizza, and both were out of this world. Especially the Margherita special... this is hands down my favorite pizza i've tried in LA. I tend to gravitate toward classic flavors and they did everything right with this one. The crust alone... probably the best Neapolitan dough I've had in my life. It's pillowy, soft, slightly chewy, and just has that perfect structure. Only thing to note is their pizzas are VERY floppy. Like... really floppy. So if that's not your thing, you might not love it as much. Ruti's pizza is a white base with soppressata, fresh arugula, and hot honey. The sweet and spicy combo worked really well, super balanced and not overwhelming. We also got the tricolor salad which was a great starter. Very fresh, bright, and tangy from the lemon dressing. It cuts through the heaviness of the pizza perfectly. Third time, we did another walk-in on a Saturday around 2:30 PM and got seated within 30 minutes. At this point I'm convinced I just have good luck with the wait times!! We ordered the mala lamb sausage, diavola, bianca, and tiramisu. My favorite this time was the bianca. It was lighter and acted as a really nice palate cleanser between the heavier pizzas. You can actually taste the lemon in it, which surprisingly I loved on pizza. Only thing is you have to eat it fast because once it cools down, the cheese solidifies pretty quickly. The mala lamb sausage is definitely a crowd favorite, but not my personal favorite.... It leans heavier and the lamb flavor comes through pretty strong. If you like bold flavors you'll probably love it, but I personally prefer something more classic and clean like the margherita or the bianca. The diavola was solid. The soppressata brought the right amount of spice and everything felt really balanced. And the tiramisu... I will always get this if I have room for dessert. It's a good portion size!! The three of us shared it after already eating three pizzas (and still had 3 slices leftover) and we were completely stuffed. I would come back again for the Margherita special and the tiramisu alone.

The cocktail menu leans tiki, and I had the "I Believe In Science" made with gin, Thai basil, watermelon and soda water. It really didn't taste like much. Their pizza menu changes from time to time. We had the clam pizza which was almost personal pizza size and cost a cool $27. At that price, I would expect to be blown away. Overall, the whole experience was underwhelming.

This place is open late, and nothing else was available at 10:00pm in Santa Monica because it's, well, Santa Monica. This place was so cute and had a liquor store right next door (I'm sober, but I made note for my normie homies). All I wanted was a pepperoni pizza, and I ordered one for literally $16 dollars - which is an insanely good price in 2026 in Santa Monica. This pie was made to order, and it was so yummy, cheesy, and delicious - I loved it, the crust was crunchy and soft, a little too thick for my taste, but honestly till good. I nearly ate the entire thing in one sitting, so the crust couldn't have been THAT thick. The owners were so kind, sweet and helpful. They clearly CARE about their customers and their food, they put a lot of work into their service and their food and it shows. I am very pleased to have found this spot, and I will continue to come and get affordable pies, and next time I'll 100% be getting the motz sticks. They said that on their site there are deals, sometimes you can get the motz sticks for free with an order of a pizza. WHAT?! Can't wait to go back and try other things here. Like it or not, I know I'll be treated well and taken care of by the family-like staff here. THANK YOU SAMO PIZZA FOR KEEPING RESTAURANTS FAMILIAL AND APPROACHABLE IN 2026.
