Fernanda's NY Pizza — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I ordered here because it had the best reviews in the area. However, if you're visiting from out of town or have taste buds that aren't allergic to flavor, I recommend trying anywhere else. The ratings had me excited for some amazing pizza on my first vacation in years (looks like I'll have to wait till I'm back home for decent pizza now). I ordered their garlic bread, pizza, pasta, and a Coke. I'll try and describe each.

Their garlic bread had all the moisture baked right out of it...and maybe the garlic too? The entire top was entirely green with parsely and oregano. It honestly tasted closer to a tea than any form of garlic I've ever had.

The pizza was super thin, which can be great sometimes, but it was so soggy it kept flopping over. The crust was so covered in flower I had to wash my hands every few bites so I could even get enough friction on my hands to hold the pizza. The cheese was slightly burnt and the marinara sauce was super watery.

The pasta was a much larger portion size than I expected and I was very excited about that. The cheese on top was unfortunately more burnt than the pizza and just tasted like charcoal. Underneath, the pasta was just floating in a pool of water with some marinara sauce and small cheese curds (hopefully parmesan cheese...but I couldn't tell for sure).

The Coke...well that was exactly as expected...it was a bottle of coke.

So just as a summary, I highly recommend this place to anyone who thinks...

I seriously love this unassuming spot in Studio City!! A bit of a hole-in-the-wall sort of spot, literally tucked into the corner of a strip mall off Ventura Blvd, the vibes here definitely brought me back to the corner pizza shops in Manhattan!

The decor inside is basic but very cute, I loved the wall art and photos of NYC, as well as the stacks of pizza boxes in the corner! You order at the counter, and then they brought our food out to us in no time at all!

Both the white pizza and the sausage pizza slices were perfectly New York-esque with the oily, thin crusts and delicious cheese and toppings. The crust was just right, in my opinion! I also loved the basket of the garlic knots we ordered. In addition, we got a pipin' hot plate of fettuccine alfredo - it was nice and saucy and had a very generous portion for $16! I will say, the chicken on it was a bit lacking in flavor and the sauce could've been creamier, but otherwise I enjoyed everything here!

When it comes to the affordability and the solid pizza here, I'd definitely come back and recommend it to others...

Ordered take out on the website. Easy to use.

Ordered the combo/supreme pizza, pepperoni. Also got a slice of barbecue chicken and Hawaiian.

Girl behind the counter was very nice and was okay giving me the two slices while I waited on the full pizzas.

Barbecue chicken may have been the best I have ever had. 5 stars

Hawaiian was very good too. Crunchy crust but not too thick. 4.5 stars

Combo pizza was packed with toppings but not as flavorful or crunchy as the individual slices. 4 stars

Wife was very happy with the pepperoni. 5 stars

Ambiance had some cool old school pictures of NYC and a TV with the volume low. 4 stars

Parking lot is a mess. Not the restaurant's fault but can be a big headache. 2 stars.

I will return to this as my go to pizza spot near Universal studios. May I just order a bunch of individual slices...
