"Compared to how much this street has changed in the past decade, Abbot’s functions like an ancient relic. For over 25 years, this neon-lit slice shop has been supplying skaters and hangry start-up employees with a quick pizza fix. No, this will not be the best slice of your life. But it’ll be tasty, filling, and just what you need to carry on with your day of shopping. We like the "Bianco" with big dollops of ricotta, but if the “Popeye’s Chicken Pizza” is hot and ready when you walk in, grab as many pieces as you can." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Longtime California Italian chef Michael Fiorelli has gone on a bit of a solo tour (with the help of partner Liz Gutierrez) operating a wood-fired pizzeria inside the Cook’s Garden in Venice. Fiorelli has been drawing crowds during his three-day-a-week operation with a tight menu of blistered New York-style pizzas. Specials often include local produce and ingredients from the garden. Pizzas tend to run out early, so it’s best to get there as early as possible. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Eater Staff
"Abbot’s has been around forever. The old-school pizza spot on Abbot Kinney is the best place for pizza-by-the-slice in the area. You should get the Popeye’s chicken pizza if they have it, but if you want something kinda healthy (but still pizza), they have a salad slice that’s actually pretty great." - jess basser sanders, amy clark
"You probably have some very fond thoughts about Abbot’s Pizza if you’ve ever lived or worked in Venice (or even if you haven’t). This spot on Abbot Kinney has been around practically since the actual Abbot Kinney was, serving affordable pizzas with excellent bagel-style crusts (meaning you can get them with sesame, poppyseed, or everything toppings). The XL pizzas are big enough for an entire family, so get the spinach, sun-dried tomato, and feta-covered Athens Pie with an everything crust, and enjoy. Potentially for the next two or three days, if you’re alone. Local delivery or pick-up available." - brett keating
