The 25 Best Restaurants In Santa Monica

"This pizzeria is ideal for a quick lunch or even an intimate dinner with that friend you’ve been meaning to see for months now. Here you’ll find a rotating menu of seasonal salads, as well as both Neapolitan and New York-style pizza by the slice, plus some thick sandwiches on their crispy house ciabatta. At dinner, pies are served whole rather than by the slice, with chewy, nicely charred crusts. But the big selling point here is the perfect topping combinations, like spicy nduja sausage and squash blossom pizza boosted with funky-sweet fermented honey and salty green olives." - arden shore, brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
