First time here and this indeed feels like NY style thin pizza. The taste was good. Two slices was a lot of me.

¡Auténtica pizza neoyorquina en pleno corazón de Los Ángeles! Fuimos en familia y salimos encantados. La masa es fina, crujiente y sabrosísima, con ingredientes frescos y una salsa de tomate espectacular. Probamos varias porciones y todas estaban buenísimas. El local tiene ese rollo auténtico de pizzería de Nueva York, con buen ambiente y servicio rápido. Ideal para una comida informal y sabrosa mientras exploras la zona de Hollywood. ¡Volveríamos sin dudarlo!

I moved a few weeks ago to this area from NY/CT area and wanted a NY style pizza, and I believe Lamonica's mostly delivers. The pizza is pretty good, but a lot of it depends on the warming time right before you get it. I've had slices here range from perfect crisp to pretty soggy so I would just make sure you get it warmed up enough beforehand. Unfortunately, Lamonica's has smaller slices than typical NY style which is a little sad as I've had slices in and around NY much bigger than Lamonica's but they're still big slices. They are just barely foldable but a lot of times a little soggy unfortunately. The service is pretty hit or miss, but most of the time it seems fine albeit it seems a lot of the time that most of the employees here just don't really want to be here. However, they're all pretty helpful. The price feels a little high, I would only come here on a lunch special (11AM-3PM I believe?) as the prices seem pretty high, about $5-6 per slice + $3.25 for a drink. The place is so great though, as a transit nerd I love all the older subway memorabilia. The whole place just generally feels like NY to me. All in all, the pizza is good and the place is great.

Delicious slice of square pie! I walked in one day seeing that they served slices. They looked fresh and my mouth was already watering looking at them. And then they popped it back into the oven on the spot for me to melt the cheese and I fell in love with the place lol. Messy just how it should be! Don’t get any pics cause it’s too good to not enjoy hot. Even came with free ranch, peppers and cheese. Definitely worth a visit!!

Many iconic NYC pizza houses of renown are making their way to LA. Lamonicas is an institution. The claim to fame is they ship in the dough from NYC, a la the famous NYC tap water that supposedly makes the pizza slices sing. As someone who travels the world for pizza, and prefers different slices over the commitment to a single pie, Lamonicas does not disappoint, and in fact lives up to the hype. There’s paid street parking. I got lucky and got a spot. They don’t do online ordering so I ordered in person. Service was friendly and helpful. They gave me the neighbor discount :) I ordered 3 veggie slices and 2 meat slices for our crew of 3 adults and one very discerning food critic who happens to be 3 and a half. The 3 and a half year old loved her cheese pizza slice and said we should do this again. She also loves Danny Boy Pizza which is a few blocks away. The meat slices crew loved the pepperoni slice and thought it was one of the best pizza they had this year. That’s high compliment. The magic seems to be in the dough. Even if you order at the counter, the pizza is ready within minutes. The grandma square was decent, chewy and had good flavor, the sauce wasn’t too sweet and had depth, but the pesto was the show stopper. For 5 pizza slices, I think with tip and discount it netted under $39, not exactly cheap but a very satisfying experience. This is a good addition to the UCLA/Westwood neighborhood. Tip: Try the slices before you buy the pie. You may be surprised what you end up loving.

The pizza here is very good and the portions are huge. They are open late and even gave me a free cheese pizza when they were about to close. I don’t know of any better pizza places in the area.

Solid Pizza for what it is, though a small slice of cheese pizza for $5-6 bucks is wild and not exactly the type of place or food you want if you are looking for more than a quick snack for the value. If you are craving pizza and price is not an issue, you won’t be disappointed. If you hungry and not tryna break the bank, keep it pushing elsewhere

A taste of NYC in LA. 🍕 Lamonica’s nails the New York vibe, from the decor to the pizza itself. They claim their dough comes straight from NYC—can’t confirm, but the pizza delivers. They don’t skimp on ingredients or stretch the dough too thin. The cheese slice was exactly how I remember a classic NY slice—cheesy, flavorful, and satisfying. The BBQ chicken was a little too sweet for my taste, but it still was a great slice. The grandma pepperoni slice had great fluffy-yet-crispy dough and well-spiced pepperoni, though I’ve had better versions where the sauce really stood out. Nice staff, quick reheating, and plenty of seating (both standing and sitting options). A few small tweaks—especially to the tomato and BBQ sauce—could take it to the next level, but overall, this is exactly the kind of experience you'd expect at this price point.

Two pizzas delivered to right near Pauley Pavilion for a UCLA basketball game last week…One Sicilian pie with Pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms, and one large veggie pie. Totaling $120.00 with tip !! So NOT cheap but delicious pies nonetheless.
