La Pizza Kosher — Restaurant in Los Angeles

40 years of melty cheese, crispy crust, and the kind of customer service that makes you want to hug someone (but maybe wait until they’re not holding a hot tray)

Let me just say this loud and proud: La Pizza Kosher is LEGENDARY. This isn’t just a pizza joint — this is a cheesy, saucy temple of consistency, and I would happily be buried under their mozzarella.

They’ve been around for over 40 years — which in pizza years is like being a Jedi Master of melty perfection. And the guys behind the counter? They literally grew up in this place. No, really — they started working there as kids and now they own it, which makes sense because no one cares more deeply about your dinner than these guys.

You walk in, and you’re greeted with smiles so genuine it feels like you just walked into a surprise birthday party where the gift is thin, crispy crust and emotional stability.

The pizza? A masterpiece. The crust is so perfectly thin and crispy, you could use it as a frisbee — but you won’t, because you’ll eat it before you even sit down. The cheese is bubbly, stretchy, golden… it has that perfect “I-just-burned-the-roof-of-my-mouth-but-it-was-worth-it” texture. And the sauce-to-cheese ratio? Divine. Not too much, not too little. Like it was measured by angels with tiny ladles.

Now let’s talk pasta. Yes, pasta. Because this isn’t some one-trick pepperpony. The pasta dishes are outstanding, but let me highlight one in particular: The pasta broccoli. I don’t even like broccoli — it’s basically trees in disguise — but somehow they turn it into a creamy, garlicky, comforting bowl of green-tinted joy. It’s so good, you’ll forget you’re technically eating vegetables.

Oh, and cheese fries? Listen. I have a rule: if your cheese fries don’t require at least three napkins and a personal moment of reflection, you’re doing it wrong. La Pizza gets it right. It’s like melted cheese lava poured over crispy golden dreams.

And even the Stulburger (which sounds like something invented by a guy named Irving who lost a bet) — delicious. No clue what’s in it. Don’t care. I’d eat two.

Final Verdict: La Pizza Kosher isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a cheesy, carb-filled legacy wrapped in thin crust and good vibes. Friendly staff. Legendary food. A record of four decades with no pizza betrayal. Do you know how rare that is? That’s like finding a unicorn that delivers.

Five stars. Twelve thumbs up. One...

Of all the kosher pizza places in the valley, LA Pizza has the best pizza by far. I've been in the area for a couple of decades and I've tried all of the kosher pizza places out here. None of the other ones compare. The other places do weird stuff like have sweet crust or add sesame seeds to their crust or their crust is too thick or their sauce just ain't quite right. LA Pizza has pizza down. Plus, their salad dressing is pretty great too. That's why LA Pizza is still thriving even after that trash competitor restaurant opened up next door.

Compared to non-kosher pizza restaurants, it is on the mid-expensive side but it's not more expensive than other kosher pizza spots out here.

Maybe I'm semi-biased because I grew up going here and I met my first GF here but their pizza is the best in the area. I know pizza. Ask my ever-growing belly...

The pie is best experienced when it’s fresh and hot out of the oven. Any other way is great don't get me wrong, however, fresh and hot is the name of the game. Pizza is always consistent, pizza sauce is light yet strikes smooth layers of many flavors on the pallet especially when it’s hot out of the oven. Cheese is light and simple yet “stretchy” and perfectly chewy to the mouth. Not over powering at all, the pizza is a classic. Crust is to die for. Italian salad dressing is the best in the game. And apparently the pizza maker in the kitchen is a skilled artisan named Sergio making pizza pies for ever 40 years! Makes every pie with thoughtfulness and care. Truly delicious. Won’t forget. Better than most places IMO. 11/10 would definitely recommend. Love this...
