Topanga Pizza

Hopped in here and ordered a small Fresh Basil Pesto Pizza. Did not have any expectations but it was a damn good pizza. The crust I could tell they made from scratch. Ingredients are super fresh. Would definitely go again.

Cute little hole in the wall Italian food restaurant, yummy pizza and well made pasta. Wasn't busy for a Friday evening and the service was wonderful

What an amazing little place with tasty food! Great garlic rolls! So yum! The server wasn’t even my server I asked for my check and I commented about the rolls give me two to take to my daughter who LOVES! Garlic rolls!! Will be back right away!!!

The pizza was amazing. Perfect crust thickness, crispy on the outside but chewy and soft on the inside. Amazing biscuits, great atmosphere, fantastic service.The price is totally good and I cannot imagine a thing that they could do to make it better.Exactly the kind of place I wanted to go to for a great pizza and an enjoyable lunch.

Excellent pizza and excellent service. Love the varieties of Italian food too.

Strip mall Italian restaurant in Topanga however the food is excellent we've now been there twice the service was great very consistent and it's just a great family place to go and have good Italian food

Excellent pizza. I asked for hot sauce and ranch because I thought it was gonna be like normal pizza, but I was wrong. The ingredients are high quality, the dough is delicious, and the sauce is so good that if you put something else on top, honesty, you're ruining it, maybe a good olive oil but no more. recommended!

June 2024Oh YES! This Hidden Gem of a place knows how to please.I have passed by this place so many times, without even knowing it was there. Tucked away about 100ft off Ventura boulevard, in a small shopping center, lies this little slice of heaven... literally.I came in for the pizza this time, my first time, and I was quite impressed. Ordered the large, and figured I'd have some leftovers for lunch tomorrow. It's a solid 16 inches in diameter. The price for a three topping was about 27 and change with tax and all that.Crust: it's thin enough (1/4") for the California Weight Watcher types, but also thick enough for those Detroit thicker crust peeps. And crispy!It's flour, water, salt and yeast, very natural tasting for sure. This is real dough.Topanga Pizza is NOT like those other places that I've been to which use a pre-made, restaurant supply product.On the contrary, I can tell that the dough here was probably made in a batch this morning, or maybe yesterday, which is even better. Then you get some of that tangy fermenting action going on.Toppings: they don't skimp, that's for sure lots of toppings, lots of each topping, and even distribution of the toppings. The toppings, the whole toppings, and nothing but the toppings... so help me God. Lol.Mushrooms, fresh, check.Sausage, like it was hand cut out of the casing, check.Anchovy, straight out of a Sardinian small town. Maybe not. Lol. But still good! I love that briny, salty burst of flavor every now and then.Cheese: stretchy and real. It pulls, stretches, and then tears. Those are all telltale signs that it's real, not imitation. I also love the fact that you do get a little "oil sweating" going on, to add a little more flavor when the cheese melts. Fat Flavor. So in my opinion, just a little bit of oily is okay.Sauce, perfect layering, not too much, not too little. Tangy! And thank goodness they didn't use too much oregano. Every legitimate pizza spot I've been to uses a very small amount, and Topanga Pizza nailed it. It's not overly garlicky, or salty, or herbaceous. The Sauce flavor profile is very well-rounded.Price: there is value here. I think the 27 & change I paid definitely justifies what I got in return. I mean they have to make money too, just like everyone else. But I feel like prices here are comparable to other Pizza spots in the neighborhood. The difference here is that you're getting real dough, and more toppings, and better quality overall. So the 27 price to me is Justified.Parking: I came in here mid-afternoon, after the lunch crowd, but before the dinner crowd. I feel like there were definitely a few open spots for sure. There's also that weird new diagonal parking out on Ventura Boulevard if you decide to sit-in for your dining experience.Carry out here is pretty simple, and there is a traffic light at the entrance, to make your left turn into the parking lot that much easier.Service & Staff: On point, friendly with a smile. I got a sense that everyone working here really enjoys their job, they like doing what they do, and they're happy to come to work everyday. Whoever specifically made my pizza, nailed the perfect 360 ark. Same thickness of the crust all the way around. Bravo!Atmosphere: there were a couple of older couples in the place when I walked in the door to pick up my pizza. I'd say it's a family style place, but something low-key if you're trying to be on a casual date as well. Looks like it could be a good spot to maybe bring your kids to. There's plenty of room to walk around, and move in between the tables for sure.I'm very pleased with my experience here, and I definitely will be back to try some of their other menu items. The steamed mussels are calling my name next time. Garlic me up baby! Lol.
