24-hour eatery dishes up classic New York-style comfort eats in a homey space with lots of booths.
"Izzy’s is a Westside staple and one of the only full-service restaurants in Santa Monica that’s open 24 hours. Walking into this Wilshire spot on a late Saturday night is like stepping into a random diner on the Upper East Side. Expect elderly couples reading the newspaper and eating matzo ball soup, workers filling up on big plates of eggs before a night shift, and underage kids who are still a little too drunk to be seen at their parents’ house. Get the turkey pastrami." - Brant Cox
"Izzy’s Delicatessen in Santa Monica, a classic Jewish deli, has permanently closed. The deli, which opened in 1973, had been a staple in the seaside city offering pastrami sandwiches, knishes, and other all-day classics. Owner Izzy Freeman decided to retire after facing difficulties during the pandemic." - Matthew Kang
"We’re up here on 15th and Wilshire. Luckily, they left us alone. They ransacked the Rite-Aid a block away, and they ran through the Gap store on 18th and Wilshire." - Eater Staff
"Decades-old deli Izzy's owner Izzy Freeman says he spent the whole night carefully watching his security cameras from home." - Farley Elliott
