Salty Pizza and NO parking

by AndyGilchrist at Citysearch

I got a Deluxe with lots of toppings but you could only taste Salt! Maybe instead of frozen it's stored in salt?

And since the City of Manhattan Beach is the king of gouging it's citizens and visitors with outrageous parking meter prices - it will cost you $10 to run in and pick up the salty pizza!

  • Pros: None!
  • Cons: Pizza is awful
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This Pizza cant be beat

by ElNomad at Citysearch

Besides maybe Mulberry's in Beverly Hills, this pizza is the best in Los Angeles. I dont know what the dude two below me is talking about, but the service is awesome. Whether I'm going in for a pitcher and a slice to watch the game in the quaint and home made dining area with some good lookin people, or smoking bowls and ordering a large Royal Hawaiian (my fav) this place delivers quality food from quality pizza. The wings are amazing as well, and the pitchers are reasonable. GO CHECK IT OUT!!

NOT the Best Pizza

by lafoodie90212 at Citysearch

Let me open by saying that I would have given this place "0" stars if possible. I live in Manhattan Beach and have had pizza delivered from many places in the area. I have ordered from this place several times over the years and have noticed a steady, rapid decline, both in the quality of the pizza and in the service. After a bad experience, I didn't order from this place for a over a year. I decided to give them a chance after reading the reviews here. BIG MISTAKE! The person who answered the phone had trouble hearing my order over the loud music they were playing. After being disconnected when put on "hold" I finally placed my order and was told it would arrive in 30-45 minutes. After an hour, I called and was told that it was already "on it's way." After another 1/2 hour, I called again and was told that they were having problems and was again told that it was already "on it's way." I called again to complain and asked for the manager. I was told that there were no managers and the owner was out of town. When I commented, "When the cat's away, the m*** will play" she hung up on me. The pizza arrived before I could get through again to cancel the order. When it arrived, it was cold, so thin you could see through it (we're not talking "thin crust pizza here) and looked like a big bite had been taken out of it. ANY of the local or chain pizzarias have better pies and service.
