Reviews for DeSano Pizza Bakery in Los Angeles, CA

11/30/2022 The DeSano Pizza, I originally ate was located in Nashville TN. The napoletana pizza was cooked using a wood... burning oven. The pizza dough is perfectly cooked (or browned) and is not over cooked and burned... they know when the pizza isjust right. The location I visited today was in Los Angeles CA on Santa Monica Blvd. Most pizza spots in the Los Angelesarea... really do not have very good pizza pie (compared to New York or New Jersey). The wood fired pizza is very good andwould recommend to others. Read more

This place has a fun vibe for seating and shows the brick ovens in the kitchen to everyone. We got a pizza with cherry tomatoes... and basil on top at the grande size. It was really tasty and the oven makes it even better with the char on the crust andunderside. There are water stands here that serve basil and lemon infused drinking water. Do try them out as they are veryrefreshing. Read more

CARNEVALE - get it. One of my favorite pizza joints - must try! Large venue - great for large groups or parties. PLENTY of... parking, which is rare in LA. Mainly beer and wine served. Read more

The dough was fresh and amazing! Usually I concentrate on toppings and cheese but I focused on the dough at this pizza... restaurant. My friend recommanded this place and no regrets trying this pizzaria. The staff was a bit distracted andunattentive when I was ordering but I had no problem getting the food. My husband had great experience with them so I guess theywere busy at the time was ordering. Easy to park, great crowds, fast serving. Read more

They make one of the best Margherita pizza! Have tried their pizza in Austin too. Same taste and crust. We ordered the... Margherita classic VPN. They have ample seating space and parking. Read more

Loved and frequented this location for years and it?s always been spectacular. However the pizza given to me today was another... level. All of their pizzas have looked good but I wanted to especially shout out whoever made this one today. Thank you! Read more

Pizza is tasty and authentic. This is one of the first (if not the actual first) place I got pizza after moving to LA,... introduced by my boyfriend, and never had I had a truly more authentic pizza. I've referred friends and family here time andtime again. We ordered the Desano (classic and meaty) Diavola (spicy deliciousness) and the Original Carnevale (not pictured) -this one is light but so fluffy and tasty. Big dining area with family style benches, and a gated parking lot for safety.Definitely an LA favorite. Read more

IF YOU LIKE WOOD OVEN PIZZA.... THEN WALK IN WITH CONFIDENCE. This Review is based solely on my experience and personal... opinion. I went to the DESANO pizzeria with my friends on a Thursday night, 11/18/21 and it was my first time. FOOD: Weordered one large DIAVOLA and one large VERDURA and in the end 6 CANNOLI. PIZZA DIAVOLA= very good pizza indeed! the rightamount of topping, NOT greasy, NOT fatty, NOT oily, NOT soggy and the right amount of cheese. The wood Oven is what does themagic.... the crust is crunchy and toasty, the bottom is thin and well done. The fresh, simple, but very good ingredients arethe secret of its amazingly balanced taste, that surprises even the most picky New York style pizza lover. The Sausage and thePeppers were tasty and tender, and the Bufala cheese would just melt in your mouth .......Wow! PIZZA VERDURA= few ingredients,as you can see in my photos, but an harmonious combination. cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, spinach and mushrooms..... couldn't bemore simple. very good pizza indeed! the right amount of topping, NOT greasy, NOT fatty, NOT oily, NOT soggy and the rightamount of cheese. The wood Oven is what does the magic.... the crust is crunchy and toasty, the bottom is thin and well done.The fresh, simple, but very good ingredients are the secret of its amazingly balanced taste, that surprises even the most pickyNew York style pizza lover. CANNOLI= they were good and flavorful but could have been better. They did not have the chocolatecoating inside that prevents the Cannoli from becoming soggy and mushy. very good cannoli regardless. The Ricotta filling wasgood but too sweet and the Chocolate chips ones had WAY TOO MUCH chocolate chips...Nice Cannoli shell I have to say. . I enjoyedthe overall look and flavor. DRINKS= they have a small vertical refrigerator with a selection of Italian style beverages,alcoholic and not. I did really enjoy picking my drink among all the flavors and types available. Sparkling water, Ital Read more
