What People Are Saying About Nova Express

With a look that's a cross between "Star Wars" and "Star Trek," this cafe is like an adolescent boy's obsessive ode to the science-fiction genre. Classic comic book reprints, movie posters and superhero murals cover the walls; glass cases and shelves display a collector's worth of alien action figures. DJs supply ambient sounds at night, while the lava lamps and neon lights give the black-lit room a touch of psychedelic color. On most nights, black-and-white B-movies are projected onto the wall, which serves as a perfectly quirky backdrop for grubbing on the popular Cosmic pizza, Turkey…

Fantastic place and friendly staff
by irisredd at Citysearch
Nova Express is one of a kind unusual place, full of imagination and offbeat joie de vivre. The artist Cary Long sculpted the place, creating the 3-dimensional art space. Other LA artists feature their stunning work as well. Their menu is really fun. Great place for a date and/or to meet up with friends for the evening. It draws an eclectic crowd...from hollywood people (Paris Hilton and her entourage, Benicio w/ Scarlett, LDC, Jessica Alba, etc etc) and just really nice, interesting and creative people of LA and out of town visitors. The solar flare salad with chicken is robust and healthily delicious. I hear the Nova Nachos are freshly made and delicious. The pesto is freshly made and strong and good. The Galaxy and Black dot drinks are yummy. I usually get the mocha or the cosmically named martinis. The staff is friendly and attentive. I love this place....What a fantastic place!
- Pros: Great ambiance, friendly staff, fun sensibility
- Cons: Street parking, though there is a $5 lot 1/2 a block up.

Nova is out of this world...
by mitzzy at Citysearch
Great food with interesting twists and original names. Great surrounding and perfect for dates or groups of small friends. I've gone to nova more than a couple of times and always leave feeling better than I came.
- Pros: This place is the greatest, and affordable too...
- Cons: not a one, nova knows how to handle its own
The Details on Nova Express
When to Go:
Late nights are when the place really starts to pick up--that's when club kids come crawling in for some doughy sustenance.
Save Money:
Get half-priced drinks, like the Nova Martian Martini, from 5pm to 8pm every day.
Look Good:
Although it's called Nova Express, most people refer to this kooky place as the Alien Bar or Cosmic Pizza. (The small, almost indetectable sign outside doesn't help matters, either.)
