Great Pizza!

by iluvbelle at Citysearch

Pizza place is simple, with a good selection. They heat it up upon order. You feel like you're in NY with its decor, though they are decorated with pictures of the london subway.

I haven't been back in awhile, since the good 'ol college days. But I stop by anytime I'm in town.

• Pros: Nice NY style pizzaria
• Cons: No parking

Best pizza in town

by elina2008 at Citysearch

Lamonica?s Pizza by far is the best pizza in town. Try it straight out of their oven or reheat it and I guarantee it to be one of the best you've ever had and trust me, I am a pizza connoisseur.

Unbeatable pizza by the slice

by jhoolko at Citysearch

Growing up on the west coast with two parents from back east, I've been forced into understanding the fundamentals of New York pizza authenticity. And while it's pretty much impossible to get an authentic NY pizza in L.A., LaMonica's produces some darn good pies. The secret to really getting the best of this place is ordering by the slice. They come out of the oven perfectly crisped and wonderfully thin. My favorites are the tomato basil and the mushroom, but they offer all kinds of toppings. The crust is thin, the sauce has a good acidity to it, and the interior is appropriately gritty, nearing hole-in-the-wall status (if it weren't for all the good reviews). I like to add a garlic roll to my order, a must for any garlic-lover.

• Pros: My favorite pizza by the slice!
• Cons: Westwood parking is awful, cash only

Best Pzza in the Westside!

by ashkahbash at Citysearch

Lamonica's is the best pizza in the Westide and possibly even all of LA (I havent tried them all so I couldnt say). Their dough is flown in from NY and the ingredients are sooo fresh. I am obsessed with the pizza and the service is fast and friendly and they even deliver!

Good pizza at fair prices!

by starwarsgeek at Citysearch

The pizza scene on the Westside is a bit lacking, but Lamonica's is the standout! The pizza is consistant from one visit to the next and is loved by my 4 year old, my 11 year old and their grandparents! They are generous in their pricing for local school pizza parties and always very pleasant when delivering or eating in!

• Pros: Best pizza on the westside
• Cons: No parking

Best in LA as far as I'm concerned

by scottykam at Citysearch

I've tried about 10 different places for pizza that claims to be like the east coast and this is the best I've had since I've been in LA. I just stopped in and got 2 slices and thoroughly enjoyed them. I'm not a huge fan of thin crust and that's why this is so good also.

• Pros: Good Pizza
• Cons: No parking in Westwood

Best in LA

by braveg at Citysearch

I've lived in New York, Chicago and in LA. Without a doubt, Lamonica's is right there with the best of the best. Larry and Vinny's Pizza off the boardwalk in Coney Island has to be the all time best Pizza place but they've been out of business for years. Calzones are a must as are the garlic roles at Lamonicas. Don't be afraid to get sicilian style, too. It is a little "doughy" but sicilian has to be this way. Tell them you want extra sauce and sausage and you'll be fine!

• Pros: Fast, walk right on the line, right next door to (outstanding) Mongolian BBQ if it is too crowed at Lamonicas! If you need a slice...wait!
• Cons: Tables are small in number and in size. If you need to go to the bathroom, rethink your need. It can get a little crowded in there when the students are really hungry. 1 o

Been going there since I was a kid. Consistently good. If you go before lunchtime they usually have calzone.
