Danny Boy's Famous Original Pizza

I'd heard so many good things, i had to try it for myself. Best pizza I've had anywhere. No joke. Garlic knots and meatballs were also out-of-this-world good. Really cool atmosphere inside in a great location by UCLA. Can't wait to go back.

A good homage to a superior style of pizza. I’m a Lamonicas guy, ride or die, so I was curious to try the new New York slice on the block and while it was good, I’m not dying to go back. I will say the vibe is cool with the pizza lights and the service is friendly. Also, the variety of ordering options ranging from “not to hot” to “xtra crispy” is a unique and kinda fun, but is it really a true NY slice if it doesn’t come out piping hot and crispy? My friend got two pieces, cheese and the White Pie, and she said it was good but nothing incredible. I got the Sicilian Pepperoni and the crunchy bottom is a game changer. Each layer of the pizza from the crisp bottom, pillowy center and broiled cheese skin top make for a fun bite of textual contrast every time. The sauce was good but maybe a little too sweet — but the saltiness of the motz did well to balance it out. The Buffalo Wings were solid for a baked wing. The skin was the right kind of tough and the meet was surprisingly juicy. The sauce was good with an acidic heat that hits the back of the throat. The ranch was like Hidden Valley only without the processed after taste. It was on the thinner side but still creamy with a good buttermilk tang. Danny Boy’s is a good contender in the pizza game but not one I’m rushing back to.

1st time here, ordered a hot supreme, garlic knots and fountain drink. Fresh out of the oven and looked amazing. Pizza itself tasted amazing but with all the toppings the middle of the pizza got a little soggy and collapsed. None the less it was still good. Had a lot of other traditional options as well. Will be back for sure

This place was just a great pizza spot. We had the pepperoni Sicilian slice, a pepperoni slice, mozzarella sticks and meatballs for the 3 of us. Everything was served hot and plated simply on paper plates and cardboard bowls. The sauce served with the meatballs was sweet but not too sweet. The mozzarella was creamy and delicious with a light breading which was not heavy at all. Each slice was different but the pepperonis were good & spicy on both. The food was served quickly so it was still nice & hot as we ate. We even got to meet the owner who was gracious and professional. Looking for a good spot to grub in Westwood make sure you stop in.

Yall i keep coming back to this place. Ive tried other pizza in westwood but this place has such big slices, delicious sauce, and nice atmosphere. Good to try at least once. Ive had pizza in person and uber eats and they were both good.

The pizza was fantastic, crispy crust, generous toppings, and perfectly balanced flavor. Service was quick and super friendly, and the whole place had a warm, laid-back vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. Definitely one of the best spots for pizza around, and worth coming back for.

Visited Danny Boy’s on August 17. Let’s break it down. Environment: Upon entering, you’ll walk into a relaxed environment, a “come as you are type of vibe”. I was greeted by the employees and was encouraged to look at their pies located at the far end of their counter, since it was my first time visiting. Awesome employees, who do not hesitate to suggest menu items. Food/Beverages: I was suggested to order their Sicilian pep, pepperoni slice, and wings. The Sicilian slice was the squared slice, honestly not much was going on with the initial bite. The crust was a bit soggy, lacked a thin layer of tomato sauce, and was not evenly coated with cheese. The only thing that stood out was the pepperoni, anything else was pretty bland. After my initial bite, I followed with the Pepperoni Slice, which was the slice that stood out to me. The undercarriage was there, while the crust provided a crunchy exterior with an interior that was on the softer side. The cheese and pepperoni distribution was even, therefore each bite was like the prior. A solid pizza, complimented with well seasoned pepperoni. Overall (4.5/5) I would visit again, to try their other menu items. Furthermore, I would recommend their pizza slices rather than the squared ones, but try it one time to be the judge. Lastly, as always, I leave crumbs to my fellow readers. One, try their wings, the wings are on the larger side and have a great taste since they have an in house brine marinade and buffalo sauce. I did not expect it to be crunchy, moist, and flavorful. Second, fountain drinks are free refills, therefore refill as you need. Lastly, if you’re a salad person, an employee told me that the salads are pretty good. I’ll try it next time.

I’ve been waiting for months for Danny’s to open. When I saw they were open today we made sure to go for lunch! The pizza was amazing. I love the fresh basil and roasted garlic on the white shroom slice. We ate a Cesar salad that I didn’t photograph because I was too busy eating it all. The Greek salad I brought home and had for dinner, was absolutely delicious. The vibe was chill and I love the decor. The staff was super kind and explained the menu well. Definitely will be back later this week and every week after.

Good pizza would recommend. and definitely comeback with freinds 10/10 pizza The service is really good to. Really quite area aswell.

We make weekly visits and can say that Danny boys is family friendly, has great staff, and the best pizza in the west la.

beautiful. delicious. best people working there. love them. And will return on every possible occasion.

Pizza's amazing! Love the cookies! Great selection! Great cookies! Chocolate chip! I like them all

Amazing pizza and service and the cookies are fantastic! Can't say enough good things, location is hot too!

Sausage Pizza: 5/10 - very underwhelming - bad sausage, bad crunch, lacks flavor and freshness Margherita: 7.5/10 - best under carriage - good sauce - didn't seem fresh either though, carried by undercarriage and crunch Pepperoni: 7.2/10 -solid honey - great color and decent flavors - heavily lacked a good crunch Mozzarella sticks: 7.5/10 - great cheese pull - texture was okay - solid flavor All in all: - Seems inconsistent - Good sauce but crunch varies heavy from spice to spice - dude walked out of the stall and didn't wash his hands I think the restaurant's ambiance was really well designed and takes you back to a classic pizza joint. The service was great and the lady at the front was really nice; however, the guy walking out of the stall and not washing his hands grossed me out

Danny Boy's is helping push back on the narrative that LA doesn't make good pizza. They offer an excellent NY-style slice (I love the mushroom), and have expanded into other items as well. In particular, on this visit I got the pepperoni Sicilian ($6) and the chicken Parmesan sandwich ($14). I really enjoyed the Sicilian slice - it was packed with cheese, sauce, and pepperoni - the undercarriage was especially impressive. It was browned and crunchy, supporting the mass of toppings well. The sandwich was tasty, but nothing to write home about. Breaded chicken, mozzarella, and tomato sauce are going to be delicious, and it was, but that was about it. I would stick to the pizzas, to state the obvious. Though I do plan to try one of their giant cookies next time!

One of my all time fave NY slices!! I bring all my friends here because I'm like no you guys have to try this pizza!! Everyone agrees so far! I've only tried the pizza and Italian cold cut sandwich here. The salads look delish and are huge. Will try one of those soon! Ordering is easy with the two touch screen kiosks by the door. I love that they have hot honey as one of the condiments on the condiment table with the cheese, peppers, and oregano. Seriously try the hot honey on any slice and it elevates the flavor so much! Plenty of seating indoors and some outdoors too. I love the giant pizza slices on the ceiling. I never noticed before but they have merch and it's cute! Another cool thing about this place is the collabs and limited edition items/combinations they have! Food is a creative outlet and I love seeing people have fun with food and constantly creating new versions.

Best pizza in Westwood! Came during lunchtime and got a couple of slices. Loved the sauce on the margherita, which had a very thin crust - just enough to hold the ingredients. Also got a slice of meatball ricotta, which was heartier. I should have ordered some ranch to dip my slices and missed out on the thick slices (I've heard they're even better!). Lots of seating available, both indoor and outside. I wish I still lived in Westwood so I could make Danny Boy a regular thing. Two-hour free parking at the Broxton Garage before 5pm.

Danny Boys blew me away! The pizza was perfectly cooked with amazing flavor, but the standout for me was the meatball and ricotta, it tasted like a slice of lasagna on a pizza. So rich, so comforting, and absolutely delicious. The setup is clean and welcoming, and the prices are super reasonable. Affordable for families or anyone just craving great pizza without breaking the bank. What really made the experience special was the owner. He was incredibly down to earth and genuinely took the time to sit and chat with us. You can tell he's passionate about what he does, and it shows in every bite. Cam in the front was also so great! Super sweet and fun! He's a keeper! Wishing him continued success he's serving up one of the best pies around!

Disclaimer - I'm not a pizza lover, my guess is that the pizza under carriage/crust was cooked inconsistently so it affected how we enjoyed each slice. Order: * Margherita Slice ~ best under carriage (out of all the pizzas we got), good flavor, good crunch!! * Meatball Slice ~ lacks crunch, meat was mid, overall kinda soggy * Pepperoni Pie (with Basil) ~ great color, lacks crunch * Mozz Sticks (5) ~ cheesyyy pull, solid flavor Service was chill but my friend observed a staff walking out of the bathroom without washing his hands (pretty NYC of him LOL). Decorations were pretty cool, gave off an authentic Italian NYC vibe :)

Solid pizza here in LA. Definitely gives Prime a run for their money. We'll be back next time we are in Westwood.

In crust we trust! Consistently excellent pizza and service. The crust never goes to waste here. Make sure to try the homemade ranch , it's to die for.

Stopped by during the crazy hustle and bustle of my day since I was in the area. I hadn't had breakfast or lunch so I was starving! I had Danny Boy's on my hit list for a while and I was excited to finally try it out. I started off with their yummy garlic knots. The pepperoni pizza had a little kick to it and it was pretty good. The White Shroom pizza sounded appealing, but unfortunately lacked the flavor I was hoping. I had to tip it in the marinara sauce from the garlic knots to give it more of a taste. However the crust was perfectly crispy!!! Perfection. I met the owner Dan, who was really cool (see attached photo!) and I hope his business will flourish! Definitely try their pomegranate lemonade. It was very tasty and tangy!

Best pizza in la tap in Great service and great food !! I came here while on vacation

The pizza is soooo good especially the white shroom! The slices are pretty big and very filling. The garlic knots are definitely a hit as well. Friendly service, great music and a causal ambiance. This place is located in Westwood village so parking can be tough depending on the time of day (Street/meter parking). There's a few parking lots around but it will be a little walk.

A win is a win. I really enjoy Danny Boy's Pizzas with a preference for entire pies over individual slices. Slices seem to be inconsistent in temperature. I've ordered whole pies and slices for both dine in and to go options. The whole pies are wonderful every time. The pizza, itself, is a New York style pizza with a thin crust. The BBQ chicken and margarita pizzas are STAND OUT! So tasty. The service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is well kept, clean, and fun. Highly recommended checking this place out if you're on the Westside. Although I must admit Secret Pizza is still my personal favorite.

Growing up in the 'Wood I had always relied upon Lamonica's and Numero Uno for pies. Both establishments received many, many dollars of mine throughout the years. Today, my go-to in the 'Wood is Danny Boy's... reminds me so much of slices in NYC. Their sauce is perfectly seasoned and doesn't upset my middle aged tummy as much as so many other pie joints around Westside! Their sausage pie with fresh basil is to die for. Much Aloha, Danny Boy's!

My friends and I were craving pizza the other night, and decided to try this newer place in Westwood :) It's towards the south side of Westwood, in a cute little shop. I think the interior was really cool, especially the pizza lights they have hanging on the ceiling. I ordered the Sicilian pizza slice, with extra crisp and corner piece. MMM they did get the crisp part perfectly well - it was so yummy. The bottom of the pizza helped add a crunch in every bite. You can also get crisp on the pepperoni, adding more flavor to the pizza overall. The proportions were pretty solid. Did not really interact with the service, but it was fine. We watched a UCLA basketball game while waiting for our pizzas :)

My new favorite pizza shop to grab a slice. Legit the pepperoni tates like an authentic NY slice. Many other yummy options here n the menu from tasty appetizers, fresh and delicious salads, heros, beer and wine, plus many other non alcoholic beverages options. The restaurant is super clean, the staff are warm and welcoming; Shout out to Cam! Also don't skip the cookies! SO YUMMY!

Solid pizza spot with great salad. Ordered takeout from this place and overall, it was a pretty safe bet for a casual pizza night. The slices are huge, which is always a plus, and the flavor was generally good. The cupped pepperoni was a little on the greasy side, and the white pizza could've used a bit more seasoning--it was a bit bland for my taste. Since we ordered it to go, the pizza was slightly cold by the time it was delivered but still enjoyable. Surprisingly, the standout was the Greek salad--fresh, crisp, and perfectly portioned for two people. I'd definitely order that again.

Fantastic new-ish NY pizza spot in Westwood Village! I saw their sandwich board signs outside and decided to stop in. The dining room is clean and gorgeous, definitely an inviting hangout spot where you could spend some time. They sell pizza by the slice, and I was pleasantly surprised that they had several slice options, not just the basic cheese and pepperoni choices. The slices were very wide and big (close to true NY style), and the crust was spot on for flavor and texture. I feel like my go-to NY pizza spot Lamonica's has gone downhill lately so I'm happy that Danny Boy's opened. What really sets this place apart though is the service. The worker at the front was incredibly nice and offered me ranch dressing that they make from scratch. He seemed genuinely happy to be there and to help me out as a first-timer. Go Danny Boy's!

Great pizza, easy ordering and pickup, and friendly staff. The flavor was a hit among my friends!

New York style pizza is legit! Super thin crust, large slices, delicious all around. Order by the slice or a whole pizza, plus they have vegan and gluten-free options. As good as the food is, the 5 stars is for their generosity during this chaotic week with the LA fires. The Danny Boy's team has been active on IG, responding to calls from the community to feed firefighters, shelters, and volunteers. I don't even know how many pizzas they've donated, but I personally picked up 15 pizzas from them for the shelter at the Westwood Rec Center. Amazing response!! There are angels here. Thank you for supporting the community! This space used to be an 800 Degrees Pizza back in the day, and the layout is mostly the same. Tables and counter seats, very clean. Parking can be tough in Westwood, but there are metered spots and nearby parking lots (like the Broxton lot). Highly recommend!! Support local businesses!

Incredible food, kind and courteous service. I highly recommend Danny Boy's and wish the continued success!

Some of the best pizza by UCLA hands-down thank God for the cheese pizza today mushroom bell pepper, onion pizza oh my God, and the garlic bread is the best

Tried both the Sicilian pizza and white mushroom. And the dough was fresh and crispy. Best pizza in West LA.

Got a slide to go and it was delicious! Will definitely be back. One slice is huge and very filling 10/10

The best pizza in town! Very flavorful and fresh. Also amazing salads. Always my go to when catering lunch for my office. Highly recommend!

Food was great. Allen was very helpful and polite.....................................,...........,...........................................great location. Very clean place.

I'm so glad Danny Boy's opened up a location in Westwood--their DTLA location has been my usual go-to spot when visiting the LA Phil / Broad for years now, and they are a welcome addition to the UCLA-area. They do some great classic no frills NY-style pizza, and I particularly like getting their Pepperoni slice or their Chicken Parm sandwich. One of these days I'm hoping to try their Eggplant Parm too. Service is pretty quick, and there is ample seating too whether you are there solo or in a small group. Definitely go support Danny Boy's!

Great vibe, great location and good pizza. We came here on a Sat night and got a large half pepperoni and half cheese pizza with a salad and garlic knots. Definitely skip the garlic knots they were not good at all and they definitely lacked flavor. They have plenty of seating nice big place, pizza was good but the pepperoni was just too greasy and oily for my taste. Danny himself was kind enough to come up to us and ask us how everything was going. Overall solid 4 stars. I wasn't a fan of the paper plates. The crust and pizza was good. I would come back for sure!

This place is down the street from me and I had been meaning to try it out since they opened. I tried the meatball pizza slice, the chicken Parmesan sandwich, and a ceasar salad. The pizza was pretty good, but not the best pizza I've ever had, but worth it. The chicken parm sandwich however was absolutely fantastic. The Cesar salad comes in a to go box with a small side of dressing, which is not nearly enough to dress the salad , which leaves the salad very dry and uneventful. The place itself is pretty nice and very clean. They play good music. I would suggest they dim the lights a bit, to make the vibe a bit more cool, so it goes with music and interior design of the place. The main reason I took off a star (besides the dry salad) was the service. You order at the register before sitting down and then pick up your food from the counter top. So although you don't interact much, the one interaction I had was so unnecessarily rude and left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't realize that I had to grab the ceasar salad from a container in the fridge, and had sat down and started eating the pizza and sandwich, when I realized I forgot the salad. I went up to the counter and politely asked about how I get my salad, the employee kind of snapped at me and annoyed that I was even bothering him with this question. His attitude was very unnecessary.

Got the sicilian square and the mushroom white pizza. Super nice that you can customize your pizza (cold, warm, extra crispy, corner piece, etc.) Servings were massive! Inside was also very quaint and super cute! Not the best pizza I've ever had, but great value.

The pizza is amazing, really good service and staff, and it was nice and clean!! Must see when in La

The pizza here is amazing and the service is also great! I recommend the Sicilian pepperoni and the garlic knots! There's lots of seating, the pizza is huge, and the service is quick!

Very happy to visit Westwood village los Angeles again Years later ..u could do this and that this many times in a whole life ..enjoy your visit stay positive and promote peace Pizza with meat cheese ...soda ...kids coloring haha Where is susie ...neuroweirdo ...bookie

I work on campus and am a "pack your lunch" person. Except on Friday, when I head into Westwood Village to treat myself to Danny Boy's for a slice (or two -- but usually just one because they're big). I've got my regular order: white mushroom slice and a mineral water. Once in a while I add a margherita slice or switch it up and get a square pepperoni. But, mostly, it's a white mushroom slice -- it's become habit forming. (I also checked out the meatball appetizer and the chicken parm -- both really good -- but it's the pizza that brings me back.) The pizza is excellent and the staff are cool (Cal!). The vibe is casual -- some students, some business types who prolly work on Wilshire, tourists in the summer. Danny Boy's has great pizza and how many places in Westwood can you get lunch for less than ten bucks.

I have been to Danny Boy's two times, each time with a pepperoni pie ordered for take out. They serve fast and were ready when I arrive. The pizzas were great. This is my to go for fancier pizzas that aren't Domino's or Pizza Hut. I especially love the cupping pepperonis and would only get those instead of regular pepperonis. The restaurant is big, fancier than other local pizza shops, offering a bar. The parking can be hard to find nearby but if you go before 5PM, there is free 2 hours parking a walking distance though, at Broxton. Otherwise Target has 2 hours with validation if you just come in and scan the mobile parking ticket. Trader Joe's has 1 hour free with validation.

I only come in to the office a few times a year but when I do I always go to Danny Boy's for the Sicilian pepperoni

this is a great addition to the neighborhood. The pizza overall was way better than I anticipated. we tried the cheese, pepperoni, and white mushroom. I think the flavors change daily, but I do wish there was more vegetarian friendly options last night. It was just mushroom and cheese, and the other five or six other options for all meat based. or I wish there was an option where you can pick your own toppings for an individual slice. we also tried the Italian chopped and it's probably the best Italian chopped I've had in a pizza parlor. I didn't feel like it was an afterthought. and yes, their ranch IS good! Best part had to be shockingly, the crust! this is coming from someone that does not always eat the crust of pizza, when it's not worth it. did that soft warm, chewy, crispy bad boy in ranch and thank me later. The inside looks like what a pizza parlor would be in a cartoon, there's neon pizza slices on the ceiling, really cute booths to the side. It's a fast casual, semi self-serve concept, but the person that took our order was really helpful. The food was recently priced, will be back for sure!

Amazing NY style pizza! Been to the dtla location and had to visit the new Westwood location. Got 2 slices pepperoni and plain slice and wings. Chef Danny holzman was in the house and greeted us! Must try!

I used to live in DTLA for 2 1/2 years and during the entire time I wanted to visit Danny Boy's close by but never got the chance. Now that I live over in Sawtelle I was happy to see that they opened up a new Westwood location. This is some seriously delicious pizza and definitely some of the best that I've had in LA. It's that true New York style, very thin but big slices with tons of flavor. They serve whole pies and by the slice. I will admit the parking in Westwood Village can be a bit of a pain, but it's easy to manage depending on what time of day you go. We called ahead and our order was ready right when we arrived. Pricing is also fair and I'm happy to see they accept credit cards because so many other pizza places around town are cash only. For our first time we wanted to try their famous Meatball Pie and a slice of Pepperoni. The Meatball Pie was delicious and the ricotta really added to the overall flavors and would be something I would order again. The slice of Pepperoni also hit the spot and I immediately wanted more after finishing. They have plenty of tables inside if you want to dine in, but most choose to-go. Overall some great New York style pizza in DTLA and Westwood. I would recommend to any pizza fan and plan to be back again soon to try more flavors.

fantastic pizza i come here at least once a week and i've been loving this specials the creamy artichoke was amazing.

Decided to try this new (to me) spot, and it didn't disappoint! I ordered a slice of pepperoni and the white shroom and they were both great. Large slices and reasonably priced (around $5 each). Plentiful seating inside as well as a little outdoor area. Nice spot for lunch in Westwood!

Amazing service and friendliest staff in Westwood!! Had food from here before and food is great!!

I heard very good things about this place, so you can imagine my frustration when my experience doesn't match the rave. Yelp frowns on my critical and well-reasoned rants, but I will always be honest -- even if that means my elite status has been stripped away from me (what appears to be permanent ) . I ordered the pepperoni Sicilian style square pizza and the meatball ricotta slice. First thing I noticed was how old the slices of pizza looked. I ordered at around 2:00 pm but they seemingly appear to have been under the lamp hours ago without rotating for something more fresh. Next the pizzas came in only lukewarm . Meaning they didn't reheat it with the ovens properly. Th Sicilian slice was more saucier than normal, but where is the cheese ? For almost $7 they need to be a bit more generous . The meatball slice was just cold. I didn't really care for it that much. For around $13 and some change I was hoping to get a bit more out of here. Sauce and the crust were very good for New York style at least. If we can get the carpet to match the drapes next time that would be ideal. Danny Boy needs to be a bit more well-rounded.

Simple: Best pizza I've had in LA. Classic cheese pizza was delicious, mildly sweet (almost tart) sauce. Could have been a little bit crisper, but compared to other LA spots the dough was as close to NY as I've had. We got ranches as well, really unique taste, almost like a balsamic vinegar twang to it. It's unique and it works well on pizza; Trust! Sicilian was good, pepperonis tasted meh though. Make sure to get the chocolate chip cookies, unreal.

My first time visiting the newly opened Westwood location. I previously went to the location downtown and even then the pizza zoomed up to be one of my favorite New York style slices in LA. I'm happy to say the quality is super consistent and just as good here. The folks here are very friendly. I came in and felt right at home with a warm welcome. A bonus was Chef/ owner Daniel Holzman behind the counter cooking up some pies when I was there. I've only visited the downtown location later at night before closing so it wasn't that busy in the DTLA location during my visits. So with that in mind, I would say the location here feels more like a neighborhood type vibe spot. The custom made neon lights hanging from the ceiling are also very cool. I just ordered a slice of the meatball pizza. It was still being prepared, so I was able to get a slight straight out of the oven, hot and fresh. So delicious. I'm a big fan of their pizza and definitely in my top three for New York style pizza in all of Los Angeles. I guess, depending on the time of day or night, the biggest debate between this location and the DTLA would be which area is tougher to find parking if you're not already working or going to school in the area.
