Abbot's Pizza Company

Everything has changed from missing ingredients to the ownership. The cheese , the dough the marinara tastes like straight up tomato sauce. The bbq pizza missing cilantro. We used to be regulars and make the drive to get their pies but not anymore it’s a sad day. They removed most of the menu and it literally tastes like cardboard so disappointing how downhill it’s come so fast.

Before coming to try their pizzas I made a list of 6 possible slices I would like to try just in case they were out of a few. When I arrived they had everything! Amazing to me they had all pizzas available but it did make it hard for me to narrow down my choices lol They were all friendly & patient explaining each slice. I ended up choosing the Fourway, Popeyes, and Marinated BBQ Chicken. The slices were big and it took me two times to eat it all! They each were rich in flavor & had their own distinctive taste. I am very impressed & sad they are not local to me. I will be back soon! Keep doing what yall are doing 🖤

Abbot’s Pizza Company – Venice, CA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Had the gluten-free Meat Lovers pizza and it was on point. The crust held up beautifully (which is rare for gluten-free), and every bite was loaded with flavor — high-quality toppings, perfect seasoning, and just the right amount of crisp. Service was excellent. The staff were chill, welcoming, and knew what they were doing. No stress, no rush — just good vibes all around. The place itself? Super relaxed. It’s got that classic Venice energy where you can kick back, enjoy your food, and let the day slow down a little. No fuss, just great pizza in a spot that feels local and real. Definitely recommend — whether you’re gluten-free or not, this spot delivers. I’ll be back.

I started eating at this pizza shop when it was located on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. It later moved to Abbott Kinny in the early 90s and was known as Abbott Kinny Pizza. Now it is just habit Pizza. Whenever I come into Los Angeles, I always make sure to stop here for at least a slice. I can't believe how the prices have risen. You used to be able to get a slice and a soda for $2.50 Now it's way over eight bucks. The crust is good. It's thin and crispy and if you get a full pie, you can have anything needed into the crust like garlic, sesame seeds, and other various types of add-ins.

Abbott Pizza is our pizza spot. My husband and I are both from NY, and this is the only place in LA that keeps us coming back week after week. We drive from Huntington Park to Venice just for their slices. The salad slice is my absolute favorite the mix of that everything-bagel seasoning, the crunchy greens, the warm bread, and that spicy dressing is unreal. Their regular slice hits every time too. Ten years of going here and never a bad slice. Legit the best.

Abbot’s pizza has been a Sunday night staple in our home for over 20 years because they consistently produce ,fresh, yummy pizza that’s fresh, crispy, toppled with tasty ingredients. Their unique salad pizza is our healthy favorite And, their counter reps are always friendly. Thanks guys! Lil

Really disappointed with this place under the new management. I drove nearly 25 miles because this USED TO BE a great spot. Their posted hours say they’re open until 11pm, and I arrived two hours before closing. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. No smile, no greeting, no effort to assist. Just a “this is what’s left” I had to ask if they were closing because I was confused. That’s when I was told that “new management/owners” have staff close the pizzeria as soon at it slows down, regardless of posted hours. When I mentioned how misleading and inconvenient that is, I got a shrug and was told “the hours online are wrong.” No apology. No acknowledgment. No basic courtesy. It genuinely felt like i was a nuisance for being there. There was zero hospitality, enthusiasm, or neighborhood warmth, just an uncomfortable, dismissive interaction. Sadly, that attitude perfectly reflects what the new ownership has done to the place. It feels like the business was bought as an investment, not a passion project. Instead of preserving what made Abbott Pizza special, it now feels like everything is being run off a spreadsheet: fewer menu options, removed favorites, and a vibe that’s corporate, tired, and uninspired. Culture gone. Soul gone. Magic gone. They’ve already removed so many pizzas that gave this place character, including the signature items that people actually came here for. When you strip down the menu and cheapen the experience, you lose the heart of the place. For contrast: I walked into another nearby pizzeria right afterward and was warmly greeted, treated kindly, and helped immediately. Same night, same situation, completely different experience. That alone says everything about how far and fast Abbott Pizza Company has declined. Really disappointing, not just as a one-time experience, but because it genuinely feels like the heart of this place is gone under the new management.

This place has been in venice since I can remember they have always been a staple. Great food, great service, great people. Quality is always A1. If I was barstool Dave I’d give this a 10/10.

I have been going to Abbot's Pizza since it opened. Always great pizza. When they came up with the salad pizza there just was no other place to go. Their salad pizza in combination with their spicy dipping sauce are unbeatable. Abbot's Pizza has always been more than just the pizza. Somehow they have always had nice, friendly people working there. The crew they have working now are the best. Konstantine, Monica and Max greet you with a warm friendly smile and make you feel at home. It's dating myself but it's like the "Cheers" of pizza places. It is just a truly nice thing when you go to a restaurant store etc. and the people know your name. I would go to Abbot's pizza even if they didn't have great pizza because of the atmosphere these guys create. I am deeply saddened to hear that Abbot's pizza will be closing down soon. A place, people and pizza that I have come to know and love will be gone. I am not sure what will come next. My understanding is that it may stay as a pizza place. If that does happen, I hope the new owners are smart enough to keep this crew so that the regulars like me who have grown to know and love these people will keep coming to their new place to see our old friends. And for God's sake please keep making the salad pizza!

if you haven't had a salad pizza, you missed a chunk of Venice. Don't forget the magic sauce. All my friends from abroad have to try this exceptional culinary invention at least once!

I loved the Popeye's Chicken slice! That hit the spot. Service was excellent. Got my slice nice and hot in no time at all. Ambience is perfect for a quick bite. Nice crew of guys behind the counter

The decor of this small pizza place that has slices is super fun. See the pics. Great signs too. And the service was friendly and fast. The pizza was surprisingly good. But I'm not sure I've ever paid $8ish for a slice of pepperoni pizza before, not even at a baseball game or in NYC. So I just got one. I was hungry and it was tasty. If you're walking by and craving pizza, grab a slice.

Boooooo... no more avocado on the salad pizza. They said the new owner took it out. Strange... We always bring out of towners here and they always race about the CA avocado experience. Hmmmm. Disappointing.

After learning yesterday of the demise of two of my fav LA restaurants, I wandered along Abbot Kinney for awhile and stopped in at Abbot's Pizza Company, a small take out joint with a window bar to sit that has been dishing out Pizza pies since 1995. That in Venice years, like dog years, or Dogtown years perhaps, is over 50 years old. I was glad it is still there as most of this street has changed over a number of times since the anchor tenant on this rough block in the day was The Brig. In 1952, local Venice boxing hero Babe Brandelli retired from boxing and opened "Babe Brandelli's Brig." For over 40 years, Babe and his descendents operated THE BRIG at its present location while living in the 2nd floor apartments above. A classic Mom & Pop neighborhood bar, THE BRIG was a local favorite for inexpensive alcohol served nearly all day and night. In later years it was a 'dive' for bikers and others attracted to such venues. As a teenager whenever I walked past The Brig, bodies were literally flying out the door and I witnessed more than one fist fight if that's what you would call someone punch drunk trying to throw punches. This Abbot Kinney shares nothing with the old nor the diceyness of Electric Avenue and around Abbot Kinney in the days before electricity when me and sabertooth tigers roamed Venice. If you don't believe me I've started a religion based on these facts. Begin here if you skipped the above: I ordered a Gluten Free Bianca- Red Onion, Fresh Sliced Tomato with Mozzarella, Parmesan & Ricotta, Basil and Garlic Pesto Sauce. They offer a 10" and 14" but no slices for GF pizza although the pizza man at the counter said that he gets lots of requests. My disease is becoming a movement. During my 20 minute wait for my Bianca Pérez-Mora Macías pie, I whiled away the time talking with a woman and her dog also salivating waiting for their pizza. Actually, I was the one salivating. We spoke of the intuitiveness and intelligence of dogs. By the way, has anyone since Ray Bolger actually whiled away the hour? I continued to walk now with my hot pie in hand stopping to take pics and on to my home where I devoured half of the pie which was absolutely delicious. I saved the other half for tomorrow. To be continued....

Walking Abbot Kinney mid afternoon between mealtimes, this was a great find for a slice and soda. Prompt service and fresh pizzas right out of the oven, reasonably priced and with a stand up counter outside so you aren't awkwardly standing with a box in your hands.

The kind of pizza that's premade-they store it in a clear box, you choose your pizza and they then heat it or finish cooking it in the oven. That's not my favorite style.. Restaurant is cool and seems to have a pretty good following.. Just not my thing..

Abbot's Pizzeria is an Abbot Kinney staple and while I'm a New York pizza girl at heart, this place is pretty solid for what it is. I've had their pizza both by the slice and as whole pies during events and it's been consistently good. Expensive, yes, but also tasty and reliable. It's a small space with full pizzeria vibes: the counter display, the giant pies, the heat of the ovens, the quick turnover of slices, and limited seating along the wall. It's not glamorous, and that's exactly why it works. The employees fit that pizzeria vibe as well... Whether you're grabbing a slice after wandering the street or ordering whole pies for a group, Abbot's is good especially with their creative toppings and signature crusts. One of my absolute favorite things? Walking past and smelling the pizza aroma drifting onto the sidewalk.

Had a chance to try Abbots when in LA and this was a nice experience. This is a very causal pizza spot that sells a variety of slices with limited seating. We ended up getting a slice of pepperoni and bbq chicken. The pepperoni was delicious - the pizza came out fast and service was quick. Overall Faisal ambiance but a nice place for a quick bite to eat.

we have been ordering pizza from Abbots pizza for almost 20 years. It is our local pizza place and our favorite pizza place. We have never had a bad pizza. In fact, when the pizza arrives (we mostly have it delivered), we are always amazed with how much better It tastes each time. sometimes it can take an hour for delivery, but it's worth it if you plan ahead. if we pick it up, it's about 15 minutes. The variety of their pizzas are very different and fun (ie: salad pizza or Thai pizza) but I'm sad to hear they are scaling back their menu. Please support Abbots Pizza because they are a staple of our Venice community And one of the local favs! Jason and Susan

Omg their pizza is delicious!!! was in the Santa Monica area and craving some pizza. So glad we found this spot! This will be our go to pizza spot!! Super friendly staff and simple interior inside. They have a neat neon sign for some photo opps

They totally changed the menu, quality and flavor. I've been coming for years and it's basically over... just another cafeteria quality pizza for $8-10 a slice. It used to be my go-to spot... too bad.

I have been coming to Abbots pizza ever since I was a kid and my mom worked at the salon near by, it ALWAYS HITS!! My go-to is the salad pizza but if you're looking for more basic the chicken picante is bombbbb and obviously all the other slices! But definitely stop by the people are super chill and the food stays consistent.

Loved their charred gluten free crust! Delivery was quick and pizza piping hot !! I would say best pizza in West LA.

This is an amazing place for a huge slice of pizza. My go to's are the meat lovers and the salad pizza. The salad pizza is honestly the best thing around and especially when you top it off with the creamy red sauce. The sauce has a small kick to it but it's a great combo. I love on the east side of LA and anytime im on the west side I make sure to stop by to get a slice. The staff are amazing as always. The space is a little small so not a lot of seating but I've never had an issue grabbing a seat. Overall amazing place and highly recommend.

This is the only place I've ever had a salad pizza. It is topped with Romain lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and feta cheese. They also provide you with their own spicy dressing which takes the flavors to a whole another level. It's so good that I didn't miss not having meat in my pizza. The employees were nice and friendly. Will come here again for another slice of salad pizza!

This place is a staple. Glad to still see this place standing strong post pandemic and still being fair with its prices given today's economy. Pizza here is still pretty solid. There can't go wrong with their classic cheese or their 4 cheese pizza w/o tomato sauce. Perfect place to grab a quick slice as you're out on Abbot Kinney Blvd

Great pizza, with a nice and crunchy crust! Love how different the crust is. Definitely recommend!

Good pizza, always consistent and delicious. smack dab in the middle of Abbot Kinney makes it a go to spot. and as they say; You can't make everybody happy - you're not Pizza ;). So true. Quick friendly and casual. don't forget to ask for their special sauce.

Has been my to go pizza spot for years. Love the variety and thin crust! Great pizza

The pizza tasted fresh and had a nice balance of crust, sauce, and toppings. Service was friendly and the food arrived quickly. A bit more cheese would make it even better.

Everybody was super kind and the food was yummy! I like that they still have some seating available for patrons.

Good delicious pizza light bread and the sesame bread is also fire . Also got ranch which nobody get for complimentary

I love coming here. I have been a customer for the last two years and every single time I come in for a slice of pizza - I am greeted with kindness and the yummiest slices of pizza. Their pepperoni is a classic but I love getting their Hawaiian or bbq chicken slice and dipping it in both the ranch and spicy orange sauce. Get your slice extra crispy, you won't regret it. I appreciate all the workers here for always providing a nice environment for everyone to come in and grab their pizza. Thank you always!

My favorite pizza place. I am not a big fan of tomato sauce and so I always order the garlic pesto sauce on mushroom and spinach pizza with 2 different cheeses. Everyone is always very friendly and accommodating and will make your pizza any way you want. Maybe at some point point they can get a new screen door and extend the counters about 6 inches

Dynamic pricing? 9 dollars for a soggy slice? Walk down the street to GTA for 10x the quality

Reminds me of a lot places in NYC. Really nice staff and you get a large slice. They have you usually flavors but also unique flavors as well. It's a small space so it's better to take out unless they're not that pizza. But we definitely go back if I'm in the area again.

20 years eating here at least (have they been open that long?). I'm 9 years vegan now so it's a dream come true! Reminds me of Blondie's on Telegraph in 80s Berkeley! (I worked at the Yarmo Zone!). Then I worked at Hussong's Cantina on Shattuck! Remember? Friendly grateful staff! Best pizza on the west side!

Fresh slices FAST!!! Fresh slices FAST!!! Fresh slices FAST!!! Fresh slices FAST!!! Fresh slices FAST!!!

Okay, greeted with positivity before I could make it to the table! Good customer service. Welcoming shop. Pizza adequate. Ordered the margarita and was not disappointed in that! 8/10 with usual strict sight! Great.

Chill local spot serving up pizzas and salads. Came here for a late bite on a Thursday night and there was still a line. They were out of several slices including the famous salad pizza, so I tried a different veggie slice per the cashier's recommendation. The pizza slice was very large and one was enough to tide me over. You pay first and then get your order. Slices and whole pizzas are available. Gluten-free and vegetarian friendly. There's limited indoor seating but most people seemed to have opted for takeout. Credit cards accepted. Street parking.

I'm a pizza snob and this pie was very good. I would recommend this to anyone coming down to the Venice area

pizza in town perfect crust, fresh toppings, and amazing late-night vibes! Super good!

For an extra couple dollars they will put pizza on any slice, not just the designated 'salad pizza'. I recommend it on the BBQ chicken, meat lover's or wild mushroom slices.

Great food and great service. The kids loved the pizza and the cookies for dessert was good as well

I can't lie, I'm from the east coast and I've found some extremely great pizza here in LA. But this place taste like cafeteria pizza. Tha was terrible. I put it in the list with the frozen pizza and gas station pizza. I'm not even being I'm just saying my honest opinion. Plus the employees were super super dry. People walked out too. And at $7 a slice i expected to be blown away and all I got was anger and disappointment lol just go to Joe's

It's a dark, and cold and rainy night tonight. And comfort food always scratches the itch, esp Abbotts's. Walked over from my place on the Venice beach boardwalk. :) We ordered the wild mushroom+ supreme pizza slices. They pulled the slices off the pizza rack and poped them back in the pizza oven. Added crusted peppers topping and had to remove the oil on top. It's yummy but also maybe change the oil-ness. Seating is twin countertops, indoors. Esp, in this insane thunder-stormy weather. This joint is def def a Venice local spot. And it's a lil more inland from the ocean. So you can stay cozy through the winter. Now I'm off to shop for socks, hehe.

Great customer service, big slice of pizza . I got the chicken picante it had good chunks of chicken on it .

Not only is the pizza absolutely delicious but the staff truly treats every customer like family. Every visit is a great experience, and it's easy to see why this place has been around for so long. The whole team is amazing, and the woman who works here seems to know everyone and even remembers their usual orders, it's really special to see that kind of genuine customer service in a local pizza shop. Unfortunately, I won't be able to come by as often since I'm moving out of the area, but I'll definitely miss this spot. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great pizza and even better people!

This is a small place on Abbot Kennedy blvd. The salad pizza slice was so delicious!! The crust is very crunchy. Definitely going back!

Love the Popeyes Chicken! Every time I go here I'm glad I did, the bread is delicious and the ingredients fresh!

Awesome pizza!! I love their salad pizza Have come here multiples times and they have a variety of slices

Flavorful thin crust pizza. Many vegetarian options and lightning fast service. In a pleasant neighborhood.

Great pizza. Probably some of the best take away in the area. Recommend asking for extra crispy if you like the base to have a little crisp to it

It was amazing a new favorite and absolutely good pizza and a very creative item you guys wanna check out!

Best pizza on west side and the only original place left on Abbott Kinney to grab a bite. Thank goodness the haven't sold out.
