Reviews for South End in Venice, CA
Texted Mario to get a same-day reservation for 7 people. He and the others working there were kind and knowledgeable. I don't... think you can go wrong with pizzas here but the Boardwalk was notably tasty. Best of all for a restaurant right off AbbotKinney, there's parking out front because it's in a strip mall.

From Chicago, made a stop driving down the coast and had hands down the best pizza I’ve had outside Chicago. Crust was... amazing, sauce was robust and flavorful. I will absolutely return when i am in the area next! Read more
Best Italian Pizza in LA. Don’t come here if you don’t like crispy thin crust. Beer is limited to Peroni but sometimes they... have other options. It’s Italian pizza so why not try the wine instead? You can bring your own but there is a corkage fee(line most places in the area). I tried the Bresaola Pizza and arugula salad and split that- enough for 2 people. I highlyrecommend trying this shop! Bon appetito! Read more
I’ve wanted to check out South End for a while because it was highly recommended. Every time I would try to make my way out... there, something always came up. It was annoying! Haha, But thank goodness I made it! While driving around doing errands, I wasgetting hungry and thought that today was the day to check out South End! I phoned in and spoke with a nice guy named Enzo. Iasked what he recommended, and he said I should get their most popular pizza, the Kenney Pizza, which has: Crushed tomatoes,Burrata, basil pesto, and monini EVOO. He also recommended getting the Farro Salad which has: Arugula Cherry Tomatoes, Pesto nopine nuts, Pecorino Cheese, and Onions. Everything sounded amazing, so I went ahead and got both. When I arrived, I was helpedimmediately by Francesco. While waiting for him to bring out my order, I glanced at the restaurant. It was small, but theyoffered both outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor area is nicely done and seemed like a great area to eat. When it was timeto finally dig in, I took a bite of the pizza and YUM, and it was really, really good. The flavors really worked well together,and the crust was mm mm mm! Now the salad… I too was so good! I never really had a salad with fennel, but it worked well withthe arugula and balsamic. Next time, I’ll probably ask for more balsamic because I love extra dressing! I would love to comeback and dine in to get the whole experience. I look forward to bringing my hubby for a night out and trying other items on themenu. I’m glad South End was recommended to me, or else I probably wouldn’t even have known it existed. Thank you again,Francesco and Enzo! I’ll be back! :) Read more
Excellent! Had dinner with my son here the other night and I have to say, the burrata was excellent and the pizze were simply... outstanding. High quality produce and preparation that took us right back to Italy. Thoughtful wine list with some good Italianrepresentation that will cater to a broad range of palates and appetites for adventure. Read more
Don't be put off by its mini mall location! Nice little patio and cozy inside setup. Arugula salad was delicious, great... selection of pizzas on a sourdough crust. Potato bacon and rosemary was a hit. Good wine list with interesting choices! Myserver was awesome, brought me a tasting of wines to help me decide what to have with dinner. Read more
Absolutely a lovely evening during the week with delicious food. We enjoyed a meal outdoors with my older parents abs young... daughter. It is fab to have such a great restaurant that caters to all generations without simplifying the menu. The beet saladwas devoured by all before I could take a photo and the pizzas we equally enjoyed. The live music was a real treat as well. Sohappy to see this place has survived the pandemic. We remember it from when it had first opened and it has sustained the samehigh quality of service and ingredients. We highly recommend this hidden LA restaurant. Read more
