Joe's Pizza — Restaurant in Santa Monica

** Update: Two years later, Joe's Pizza remains our top choice for pizza in Santa Monica and Los Angeles. The primary drawback is the parking situation; you'll need to search for parking in one of the nearby structures or on the street, and the area can get quite congested.

There's a significant amount of foot traffic in the area, and it's worth noting that homeless individuals are around.

As for the service, Anthony was exceptionally friendly, pleasant, and helpful. During a recent visit with my child, he displayed great patience. Their cheese pizza is my favorite, although I tried their white pizza and found it less to my liking. My child is a big fan of their cheese pizza as well.

Visiting after school can be enjoyable, but once again, the parking situation can be challenging, especially when you have young children in tow.

10/10! Finally found NY pizza that is not too oily or greasy. We ordered the NY cheese pizza for pickup. We loved the taste of every bite. Delicious! Not too salty and the pizza slice is huge!

We knew there is no parking or place to stop, so we just parked in the alley and I waited while my husband went inside to get the pizza. They also offered to bring the pizza outside to us when we placed our order on the phone, so it's nice to know they give you that option.

Thank you for a great experience! We will be...

Had the unfortunate experience of being served by this horrendous establishment. We went there on a Saturday evening, unfortunately around Halloween. There was a drunk and belligerent patron, who was verbally abusive, shoving us and calling us names in an effort to get to the front of the line. After asking for some personal space, he continued to call us dumb b*tches etc. After reaching the counter, the workers fist pumped him, laughed and gave him a discount on the pizza, thinking he was just the best. Upon us telling the employees about how this man was treating us, they said "why are you provoking him and making us the bad guy??" Great - so a patron of yours verbally abuses your other patrons, and you reward him by fist pumping him and giving him a discount on your pizza. For the record, we were NOT some 'silly drunk girls' and it is your responsibility to keep your patrons safe. SHAME on you accepting this behaviour and even MORE shame on you for perpetuating the idea that the 5 women standing in line were the ones causing the trouble when you can clearly see a drunk man shouting names at them. This establishment may want to rethink their brand and what they stand for. We'll be telling everyone about the chauvinism that exists here... Ladies Beware - Uber eats instead if you're looking for a late night...

WARNING, bag snatchers might work here !!

in June 2025, we were eating at Joe’s Pizza when our bag with two laptops was stolen. The other servers at the location refused to let us see the camera that was directly pointing to our table, and also refused to call the owner and told us we had to go to the police. They did so in a very suspicious way and laughed and chuckled as we called the police and called our credit card companies The thief who was a Hispanic, male wearing full sleeves, black shirt, black pants, and the white cap walked straight to a target and tried to use multiple credit cards, but they were denied . We followed him to the target and got a description from target and went back to Joe’s and to our surprise, many of the servers there were wearing long sleeve black shirts, black pants, and had a white or black cap on. Well, we have no proof yet, but there is certainly the likelihood that this was an insider job. We’re following up with the police to get the video and then we’re hoping that the Santa Monica community can help us identify the thief. We will post his picture hereand on other forums like yelp. Just be very careful with your luggage...
