Il Romanista - El Segundo

What a fantastic pizza spot! The crust is incredibly crispy, and the owner is incredibly friendly. You definitely need to try the pizza with potatoes—it's a must! If you're a pizza lover, this place is a must-visit.

I didn't have high expectations, but this place really delivers on authenticity. I plan to come back and see if it’s as amazing as I believe it is. Give it a try—you won't regret it!

This is an excellent pizza-by-the-slice restaurant. They offer 15 different pizza options to choose from. Once you've selected your slices, they place them in a special oven that cooks them to perfection, resulting in a crispy crust and toppings that are hot and bursting with flavor. The pizza dough is so delicious that it would be enjoyable even with just a little butter. The only downside is that they only offer pre-made salads; otherwise, I would definitely have given them a 5-star rating.

This is a office park gem in El Segundo that makes some of the best pizzas I 've eaten in Los Angeles. First of all you need to know that this is a 'premium quality pizza ' through and through ... the crust is outstandingly airy and light with a fantastic crunch at the bottom ... you can taste the olive oil at the bottom of the pizza without it being greasy or heavy. Oh and this is a square pizza!!! They cut no corners ... The tomato sauced varieties have the best tasting sauce I 've encountered in a very long time. You can tell it 's made with the freshest of ingredients which translates into a rich explosive marinara flavor. Please try the Amatriciana and Bandiera pizzas ... THE BOMB!!! There are also vegetarian and Alfredo style pizzas which have great varieties of mushrooms and premium veggie options ... there may also be a gluten-free crust. All the toppings including excellent meat choices are high end quality ... nothing typical about their choice of ingredients that you find in your large chain pizza franchises. The proof is in the eating and I challenge you to find a pizza as delicious as those at il Romanista. The place is run by two guys (same two guys I 've seen in the last five visits I 've made) who are very congenial. There 's a large flat panel TV to watch sports ... The seating area is spartan; not much to brag about but it would still make a great place to have lunch with friends during ac work day but I suspect that most of their business is done through catering and takeout. As I said, this is a premium quality pizza and it comes at a premium price; single slices are $4-5 a large full tray of pizza five to six people) will set you back almost $40 bucks. Half tray is over $20. In my opinion the quality, the incredible taste and the overall execution is definitely worth the price. Check it out for yourself when you 're in the area.

Really really happy we found this place. Pizza places in strip malls and shopping centers tend to remind me of Little Caesars so I was hesitant at first when we walked by, but boy was I proven wrong. It 's definitely fast casual, so don 't expect a 'dining experience ' but the pizza is on freaking point. They always have a few special pizzas for the day and they always crisp the slices up for you after you order. Really good, fresh ingredients. To top it all off, their price point is SUPER reasonable. Off the top of my head I think it was $10 for 3 slices and a drink. Have been 3 times in the last month and will DEFINITELY be returning.
