Reviews
"the food was pretty good but it was ruined by the VERY unhappy woman who served us, wasn’t very clean and wasn’t worth the price!"
"The place have posters saying this is the authentic italian pizza. I don't think they have been to Italy.... My expectations was high when ordering the pepperoni pizza slice, but it was not a good experience. The pizza could not even be lifted from the plate without falling apart. The oil dripping down and the socky bottom. I don't even know what was the pizza dough or the cheese. No crust at all. I regret that I did not ask for my money back, since I was not able to handle this mess of an oily "masterpiece"... Not a returning customer."
"Food, Service and Atmosphere all combine to composé a total score. I like this restaurant, and the pizza is great. But it's hard to give 5 stars for a pizza unless that pizza is bought in New York City and is genuine thin crust pizza. I like this place and would eat here again. It's convenient to the AMC theater. The slice was big, but for $8.00 per slice, it should be"
"One wouldn't usually expect great food from a mall food stand but I was impressed with what I ordered at L.A. Italian Kitchen. Pizza-by-the-slice can be sketchy but I found my slice to be excellent. The server was also very friendly and insightful. When I ordered a cheese slice, he asked if I was vegetarian and knew to let me know about which sides were meat-free. I really appreciated that. I also ordered the baked ziti with a bread stick. One of the best bread sticks I have ever had! I kid you not! I was able to sneak my food into the movie theater. Thank you so much!"
"Delicious pizza and meatballs & spaghetti. Stopped by after the movies. The pizzas are thick, topped with fresh/crisp onions and peppers, and along with the mushrooms and cheese, tastes great (not one mixed together flavor, not too salty). Really satisfied with the size of a slice, how the ingredients taste, even the edge of the crust (not too hard or dry). Spaghetti had just the right salt to make it interesting, meatballs were yummy, and sauce was flavorful. Better than Sabbaro, and a good, hearty meal. Not Caesar's pizza cheap at ~$12 for 2 slices+a drink, but good for sharing as a quick fill-up on a date or hanging out with someone. Take home whole pizzas $20-30, so on the level of a Gina's pizza price, but made and tastes better, imo."
