Philipos Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in Los Angeles

The photos speak for themselves. This was my first time visiting this place, and I was looking for some good pasta, but this is what I encountered. The pasta was overly oily, the bread tasted like soap, detergent, or bleach—I didn’t eat it. The salt shaker looked like it hadn’t been cleaned or refilled in years, and it was filthy, with dirt clearly accumulated over months. The same goes for the jar of dried chili. The restroom was in terrible condition—very old and even worse than a gas station restroom.

This place has potential because it’s in a good location, but it desperately needs new management willing to invest in training and the upkeep of the establishment. It’s clear they haven’t invested in years. If they can’t spend $2 on a clean salt shaker for their customers, I can’t imagine what the kitchen looks like, where...

This location might not look fancy or even make you take a second glance at it . . . But for the people in the neighborhood that grew up in or around these areas . . . Would tell you that looks doesn't mean anything and that you don't know what you're missing out on . . . This family owned establishment takes pride in what they cook everyday . . .

But just keep an open mind and an empty stomach because it might just surprise...

Two large pizzas and bread sticks for $23.99 - great deal and enough for two full meals for our family. The pizza was good, it could have maybe used some more seasoning. The bread sticks were the highlight - my spouse and I both agreed that they were the best bread sticks we had ever tasted. In fact, the bread sticks were so good we went back the next night and ordered another tasty batch of them and had them for dinner. Delicious! Owners and staff were very friendly and made me feel like a regular even though it was my first time there and we were visiting on vacation. The next night they were friendly to my spouse. The interior is as basic as it can get - who cares - you are going there for the tasty pizza and bread sticks at affordable prices. This is definitely a local business you can feel...
