Prince Street Pizza

I decided to finally try Prince St. Pizza since a co-worker raved about it, so much so they eat it almost every day from the Studio City location. Unfortunately I have no intention of visiting the Studio City location because I don't spend free time there. I decided to try the West L.A. location since I frequent the area during my time off from work. I'm a meaty person so my review is based on their 3 meats pizza and a side of not ranch for dipping. Pricey but it was worth it and 2 slices was enough for me. I don't think I would have been able to handle a third slice. The staff was nice and the atmosphere was great. The dining area is bright, clean and the weather in the area is just the best. I'll definitely be visiting again during the summer. ☀️

We ordered the surprise bag from Too Good To Go app and got three square slices: Margherita, pepperoni, and cheese. Reheated in oven for 15 mins the next day, and the edges remain crispy and the food should be as close to fresh as possible. I always have reservation for thick breading but the flavors are very good, rich and deep but not overall salty, which actually complements the thick breading very much.

I'm not sure why the quality of the pizza at this location is so much worse than the Sunset Blvd location. I've eaten at that Sunset location tons of times and have never had a bad experience. But for some reason the pizza from this Venice location makes me stomach hurt every time I have it. The staff also seems to dislike their job. Maybe they're just as apathetic when it comes to food safety or something too, who knows. UPDATE 7/18/25: I gave this location another try, but this time the slices I got were ridiculously burnt. The texture was literally burnt toast. Waste of money

The naughty pie: 5/5. Can’t go wrong with hot honey and pepperoni combo, and the ricotta helps balance the stronger flavors. The sunset square: 5/5. This one surprised me. It’s simple but satisfying. Very cheesy and the sweet marinara is great; I wish it had a little more sauce though. Meat lovers: 4/5. Solid slice, very par for the course for a meat pizza. Great variety of meats but none really stand out, but that’s not a bad thing. 2 slices will get you pretty full, 1 may not be enough. There’s a lot behind the building you can park at as well as some street parking.

I came into Prince St. Pizza expecting great pizza, and yeah, the spicy pepperoni totally delivered but what really stood out was the service. Oliver was the kind of person you hope to run into at the front counter: welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food and the experience. He made sure everything was just right, took the time to answer questions, and made me feel like more than just another customer in line. It’s rare to find that kind of hospitality in a fast-paced spot, and it didn’t go unnoticed. Shoutout to Oliver for elevating the whole visit. I’ll definitely be back — not just for the pizza, but for the vibe he helped create. Solid team, solid pies, solid experience.

honestly, dude, I don’t even write these type of things ever unless it’s really really bad if you go to eat there watch out for this main guy who’s taking orders? I was treated so so bad and it was so so sad because I live across the street and I come to this place practically every other day for dinner I spent so much money here for the last three years and I got treated poorly today from this guy!

Delicious pizza - Loved the sicilian style called naughty pie. Will definitely be going back!

I'm giving this place the lowest marks I can, considering this could just be a one time experience and maybe this employee was having a bad day. But they didn't have to ruin mine as well. After taking quite some time to get there to pick it up. I received a BURNT! PIZZA. They new it was burnt in the first place but instead of correcting their mistake they just handed over crap to me. We should have just checked it before we left, lesson learned, but we shouldn't really have to. We you pay good money for something you should at least expect to get something decent especially at these prices!! The service industry is taking a nose dive. This isn't good service and it's sad to see the lack of care and respect for the customer. I called and was told I would get a refund. So hopefully it goes through in the next few days. This shouldn't have happened and now I'm still Hungry 😞 Oh I just discovered that IT HAS NO CHEESE ON IT!!!!! It's supposed to be a meat lovers pizza with fresh mozzarella and Romano cheese but it has NONE!!!

Had dinner with some coworkers tonight at Prince Street Pizza in Venice. We had a tough time choosing between their Detroit, New York, and Sicilian style pies, but ultimately decided on the Naughty Pie and a Meat Lovers. The Naughty Pie was a real standout. It had spicy vodka sauce, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and Zab's Hot Honey. The sweetness of the honey combined with the kick from the spicy sauce was a perfect combination. The Meat Lovers was also a great choice. It was loaded with marinara sauce, pepperoni, oven-roasted sausage, pepperoni bacon bits, fresh mozzarella, and garlic. Both pizzas were pretty greasy, but that didn't stop us from enjoying them. The Naughty Pie was definitely my favorite, though. I'd even be willing to get two of them next time and skip the Meat Lovers altogether--it was that good! While the service was a bit slow since we ordered two whole pies, the wait was worth it. When we arrived it was empty but towards the end when about to leave, business was starting to pick up with tons of people coming in for either pick up or eating at the restaurant.

This place has lost some serious luster since it opened. Came in around 7PM on a weekday to a mostly empty restaurant and no one greeted me for 5 minutes. Not a great start. While I know this spot is known mostly for its square slices, I wanted a classic cheese slice. Yikes. Crust: Floppy mess, yet somehow burnt on the undercarriage. Sauce: Completely bland and watery. Zero flavor. Cheese: Way too much. Made the surface of the pizza too moist. Also flavorless. At almost $6 a slice, there's not much good to talk about here. Factor in an empty napkin dispenser, a clumpy grated cheese jar that didn't dispense much of anything and a dull atmosphere and you've got yourself one big disappointment. No love in the pies here.

Tried this pizza place for the first time. The pizza was okay, not bad, just not my favorite, but I'd be willing to come back and try a different one next time! The service was fine and overall, a decent spot that I'd give another shot. If you're looking for a quick grab and go option, this is a good place to get a slice, may have to wait a little bit for a full pie

We had Prince Street Pizza for the first time in New York City last October and we have been craving it since! We are so happy to find a couple of branches in SoCal so we stopped in for lunch on the 4th of July weekend. Did not disappoint--so greasy but sooooo goooood. The crust was less fluffy than the one we had in NY but stimk satisfied the cravings! The workers were super nice and chatty which made a pleasant atmosphere. Really cool decorations inside and so clean!

I lived in NYC for two years and enjoyed slices from dozens of pizzerias, and Prince Street was in my top three, but I was a little skeptical that the quality of an LA restaurant would match the original in NY. Rest assured, the pizza is as good as I remember, and the best I've had in LA in the six months I've lived here. Fresh, full of flavor, and heated to order, Prince Street offers near pizza perfection in every bite. That said, the price per slice is $7+, which is even higher than it was in NYC, which is crazy. I'll definitely return every once in a while as a treat, but no way I can make it a regular pizza spot when each pie costs $41 + tax.

Been wanting to come check this place out for years and finally had a chance to. There is some parking in the back and if you get lucky in the front as well for street parking. We came at lunch time on a weekday and we were the only ones there. We got a couple to try and definitely the star of the show was the pepperoni. I also loved the thickness of the pizza and the crust was delicious. I wouldn't go out of my way again to get a slice since it was a bit on the more expensive side, but it was good.

Heard a lot of great things about this place and I finally got to try it. It's good, but not the best. The flavors were just alright. I tried their famous pepperoni, vodka, hot honey pizza square and a plain cheese slice. I expected a bit more from both. The ambiance is cool, with a lot of fun young adults coming in for a slice after a bar outing. The customer service was friendly.

One of the best pizza places on the west side! Came here after a late night and was so happy it was open. When you walk in, there's plenty of seating and you can visibly see the options you have to pick from. Their pizza reminds me of New York pizza which I absolutely love so it was a no brainer for me to try a slice. I got the cheese pizza. The portion size is huge and it has a great taste. The prices are reasonable as well. Service was quick and easy. You order your pizza and pay at the front. The individuals working that day were super nice and made the order easy. The place is more of a grab and go place but there are definitely seats if you rather eat your pizza hot. For that reason, it's overall lovely with a lot of energy happening inside. I will definitely be back!

Delicious square pizzas. The round ones not so good. Disappointed and truthfully expensive. Thank you unsure as how to reply to your post, but appreciate your message. Send to lunaleal8@gmail.com.

My brother ordered a humongous almost rectangular-shaped thick crust greasy pepperoni/sausage pizza for take out. It was good, but nothing to write home about. I didn't get a sense of "Wow!" We'll be trying other pizza places.

Prince Street Pizza in Venice seriously blows me away. I got the Spicy Spring slice pie , done extra well, and it was absolute perfection. The crust had that golden, crispy edge with just the right chew, the sauce was rich and slightly sweet, and those little pepperoni cups? Crispy, spicy, and bursting with flavor. You can tell they take their time making each slice just right. Easily one of the best slices I've had in LA. I'm already plotting my next order!

After having Prince St. Pizza in NY and falling in love, then seeing it pop up in WeHo, then establish a brick and mortar there, then open this one blocks from where I live - it felt like fate. I digress. It is just as good as in NY, and super consistent. The salads are good too. I've always ordered the spicy spring, but have gotten a side of the vodka sauce for dipping... and my god. Is there a more perfect food? I can't bring myself to even try the thin pies because so attached to the Sicilian (or Detroit?) style. It's so heavy and certainly a once in a while treat, but, it's always so good.

WORTH THE HYPE! especially loved talking to my east coast girl MICHELLE, she made it so fun! Awesome vibes and awesome pizza!! super helpful love that you can get individual slices

Located in Venice, CA we parked on the street and ordered two slices: meatlover and spicy alla vodka. To our surprise the meat lover was ok and the alla vodka was packed with good flavors and a little heat.

We ordered the surprise bag from Too Good To Go app and got three square slices: Margherita, pepperoni, and cheese. Reheated in oven for 15 mins the next day, and the edges remain crispy and the food should be as close to fresh as possible. I always have reservation for thick breading but the flavors are very good, rich and deep but not overall salty, which actually complements the thick breading very much.

Best pizza on the west side, hands down! I'm here almost every week and the quality never disappoints. The spicy spring is absolutely incredible - perfect balance of heat and flavor that keeps me coming back. Andrew, Davis, and the entire Prince Street Pizza staff are amazing. They're always friendly, remember the regulars, and clearly take pride in what they do. The service is consistently excellent and the pizza speaks for itself. If you're looking for authentic New York style pizza in Santa Monica, this is the spot. The spicy spring alone is worth the trip, but honestly everything on the menu delivers. Can't recommend this place enough!

Went back after talking with the manager about how bad the pizza was and they asked me to come back and try it again. I eventually decided to give them another try and they Blew it. I don't understand how they can not get their act together. Mulberry Street pizza and Joe's pizza in Santa Monica are great Prince Street Pizza in Venice should not exist because they don't know how to make pizza.

I was really looking forward to trying Prince Street, I live right by the Lincoln location. I ordered the Boozey Broome 18 inch. Unfortunately the Dough was raw, sloppy and overall inedible. Took a few bites and gave up. As close as this location is to me, I'll stick to Joe's in SM, regretting trying something new and should've stuck to my usual restaurant.

I finally realized what it is about Prince Street Pizza that I find it's lacking. A few years ago around 2022, I went to the original in NYC where I'm originally from, so I do know a thing or two about pizza. Anyway, I had the most sought after Spicy Pepperoni Square. Now the flavor was excellent, but unfortunately it's the sauce that is spicy in addition to the pepperoni, and when it comes to spicy foods, I just can't hang. For that reason, I could barely handle one square. The spiciness was not even the issue, it's the dough that I didn't care for. I couldn't figure out what it was about the dough until I had it here recently in Los Angeles. Fast forward to 2025 where I visited the Venice location. I ordered a regular Cheese Slice and a Margarita Square. The Cheese Slice had a decent flavor, but despite there being a nice looking char on the bottom, there was barely any crunch. I do like how it's not a super thin crust and it did remind me a little of NY. The Margarita Square was very flavorful, but unfortunately this reminded me again of why I'm not a big fan of Prince. The dough has a gooey texture when you bite into it and there is no crunch on the bottom. Overall the dough is just too soft By no means is this bad pizza and I would stop by once in a while if I lived in the area. Perhaps a fresh pie more well done might work. Maybe?

Back when Dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I grew up in NYC and cut my teeth on all the amazing varieties of pizza that the Big Apple has to offer. Strangely enough, I never ran across the Prince Street "Mother Ship" in the Nolita section of Manhattan until after I had moved to California. After seeing the MS's "hole in the wall" location, I marveled at the immensely long line (it was almost all the way around the block that first night) and decided that there was no time like the present to wait my turn and try some of their pizza. When I finally got inside, the venue was unassuming, with no AC and no tables - just some places to stand and eat along the wall. At the front there was a glass case with whatever type of pizza that they had available by the slice. That 1st time in Manhattan, I went with what they were calling the pepperoni square. It had a thick, Sicilian-style crust and it was very, very, crisp and not soggy at all. There was a tremendous amount of pepperoni on it. It was very spicy, the kind that "cups up" when baked and gets crisp to boot. The sauce was not bland, nor was it sweet. It had just enough of a tangy-ness to compliment the pepperoni, not to overwhelm it. Fast foward to 2024 - it's been several years since I've been East of the Hudson River; apparently Prince Street Pizza has recently been expanding into SoCal in a big way. When I first heard they were out here and looked them up on Yelp, I'm saw that they have multiple locations in the LA area, as well as one in OC and one in San Diego. I was excited to see that one of the truly World-Class NYC pizza places is now in the neighborhood in a big way! I had been planning to spend the afternoon in Venice, so I decided to stop in at the Venice location and pick up a pie "to go" so I could enjoy it at home. When I arrived at the venue, I took in the modern-looking restaurant location; it has lots of seating, and some well-kept furnishings. The pie I decided on for that first California visit was "The Naughty Pie" (Spicy Vodka Sauce, Pepperoni, Fresh Mozzarella, Ricotta, Zab's Hot Honey). Tip: Do a Yelp check-in and get a free slice. It makes for a great appetizer and will tide you over while you wait for your pie to come out of the oven. When I got home I cracked a bottle of Blue Moon Belgian White Ale to keep the pizza company, and dug in - the dough was wonderfully well executed; the thickness was just right, and both the edges and the bottom were nice and crispy (without being overcooked). The taste of the toppings blended really well together, with the flavors of the creamy ricotta cheese and the Zab's Hot Honey standing head and shoulders above the others. That spicy pepperoni is a fantastic touch as well! The pies at PSP are thicker and more filling than most other pizzas, and the prices aren't cheap, but once you try some you'll never hesitate to pay the price for this exceptional NY-style pizza! Given how much I'm enjoying being able to get Prince Street Pizza locally, 'm planning to become a regular here, and have already returned a couple of times for slices so I can sample all the many wonderful types of pizza they bake :-)

I found out this place has vegan toppings so decided to order online. It was late evening on a weekend and not very busy at all. Staff were friendly and helpful. There were plenty of people working. Pizza was ready quickly. All in all, pizza was good. I wish the toppings were spread out better. There seemed to be crowding of the toppings centrally and just sauce on the perimeter. I like the vegan options! Would try again for sure!

Wow this pizza is so delicious. My friend said he was gonna go get a slice and I've never heard of it. He brought back a whole pie and it's probably my favorite pizza. 8 big rectangle pieces that are both very thick and crispy crust and the pepperoni is also very crispy too. I haven't had a good pizza like this in a long time. Can't wait to come back!

Clean fast and friendly service Excellent food and I love their meat lovers pizza it their pepperoni pizza by the slice it's deep dish heaven I will definitely be returning

This might be one of the best Vegan pizza's I have had so far. The cheese was perfectly melty, the crust crunchy and the bread soft and tasty. Their sweet marinara sauce was also quite delicious. And best part is that they sell it by the slice, which is hard to come by for a vegan slice. I am not vegan, just very lactose intolerant so I am very grateful for a delicious, perfectly made slice of vegan pizza. Only down side for me is that I do enjoy pepperoni or sausage or being able to add something so I can add to my vegan slice. Prince street will not add anything for you. You get what you get. I really wanted to add pepperoni but that was a big no, so too bad for me. But I would definitely order and customize a full pie (if that's even allowed) because it was really good!

Food was delicious. Service was helpful and friendly. Ambiance was typical pizza joint but the smell was intoxicating.

While eating at Willie Mae's Resturant we noticed several people waking by with pizzas so we decided to take a peek inside. This location is clean with plenty of open seating. If you order by the slice, they reheat a slice from precooked pizza. We tried the meat lovers and pepperoni but both were slightly over baked during reheating process. I give the pizza 4/10 stars. The pizza dough was overly saturated with sauce, oily and the cheese was not evenly distributed. I did not have time to check reviews prior to ordering. I did ask a couple people in line about the pizza. Both parties had open to be from New York and stated the pizza is really good and the closest you can get to New York style. I just wasn't impressed.

Prince Street Pizza is located at 326 Lincoln Boulevard in Venice. And beyond that, there isn't much more to say. It's relatively new and is open till 11 pm with limited inside seating. I really don't know where to start, so three of us wanted some pizza, so we decided to give them a try. First off, why can't you get a topping on a slice? According to the server. you must purchase a pie get a topping. I'm from New York and there isn't a pizza place I have ever patronized that doesn't allow a topping on a slice. They wouldn't even allow a topping and charge for the topping! I felt like I was in that jack Nicholson film when he wants to order a Chicken Salad sandwich, but there were no substitutes on the menu. So after the back and forth on having a topping on a single slice, we settled on a regular cheese pie ($27.00) and half Pepperoni ($2.50) plus three fountain drinks ($9.75) for a total of $43.09 and a $5.00 cash tip. The wait for the pizza was about 25 minutes and it was a sled of grease as I literally used about two-dozen napkins to mop up this oil spill! The help is futile as they don't even offer you plates to eat this slop. The pizza was less than mediocre and one of us commented that the pizza at COSTCO was more edible. This notion this pizza replicates anything close to NY style pizza is a mirage. The help is minimal (2 servers, 1 pizzamaker), and the whole experience was forgettable. Pizza remains at a premium in Venice as I have yet to find a place that can cook a decent pie. They only have pizza both round and Sicilian, but the whole topping debate was a real turnoff and I probably won't be back, still searching for a decent place that can make a slice that is memorable.

Best pizza I ever had!! The Spring Pep is the move. You won't regret it. The Hellfire is really tasty to but it is really really spicy.

The Mercedes of pizza. Good whenever, where ever! Always classic and constantly delicious. Everyone I introduce this pizza to is equally impressed by this pizza. Worth a try if you're near one of the many locations.

The food is always amazing and barely differs, it's fast and super close by to a lot of other places. They even work with the TooGoodToGo app!!

Best cheese slice I've had in LA. The Naughty Pie (as many have said) is also very good. Only one other place in town that has pizza at this quality and level. Service was also good to me and the fam. LA does have good pizza which is contrary to popular belief! Many other good spots, but this one is great.

The Prince Street Pizza opened its first store in NYC, and then it has expanded as a premium pizzeria across New York, Miami and California, specially serving legendary Sicilian squares and original Neapolitan pizzas. I like their fresh baked pizza as much as the reheated takeout. Each slice costs $6+ or the whole pie costs about $35~$40. SPICY SPRING - **** Fra Diavolo Sauce, Pepperoni, Fresh Mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, tasty and crunchy, recommend PRINCE PERFECTION - *** Marinara Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, very thick texture

3.5 would be the perfect rating, but I'll round up. Good vibe, solid service, and a price that doesn't make me feel too bad. Food is really good though, not going to blow your mind but definitely better than a lot I've had in LA. Get some variety of slices and you'll be happy with this. Really easy recommendation

This is a review for 2 quick slices, I grabbed a couple slices to see if I would order a whole pie. I got a slice of cheese and a spring corner. The pies tasted old and I was eating at 11:15 which seemed strange. For 17 dollars for two old pizza slices that tasted like I got them reheated from 7/11ill pass. Good quality sauce and cheese but it's a greasy doughy mess you don't have to put up with. I'm sure if you ordered a pie it would be much better but how you do one thing is how you should do everything.

Best pizza I've had in Los Angeles! I ordered take out for a late night snack. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The execution of well balanced flavors and textures is unmatched. Grandma slices are my new favorite! This place is open till 2am and has multiple locations throughout Los Angeles!

Really good pizza.delivery takes awhile. But worth it. Top 2 cheese pizza in LA. Highly recommended.

Everytime I come there out of the pizza I want want and a the wait is like 50 mins never got to even try it smh

Finally got to try the infamous Prince Street Pizza. Had a slice of the spicy spring, which was loaded with pepperoni cups and a slice of the naughty pie, which had a nice spicy kick mixed with sweet honey drizzle. Between the two, I definitely enjoyed the naughty pie more. The crust and undercarriage of the pizza is nice and crispy. Pizza itself is Sicilian style, so the dough is nice and thick. If you're looking to carb up, this is the pizza for you!

This place recently had a management change and has gotten significantly worse since then. The pizza is average and overpriced like most of the pizza on the west side, but the general demeanor of the staff is awful. No one looks pleasant, No one speaks loud enough to hear over the music, you feel like a major inconvenience to these people. I'd put money on the regional manager of this location being a complete incompetent. Get someone to run your store, Prince!

The Fancy Prince always delivers, definitely my favorite pizza here. The service was fast, the ambiance is cool, but it seems like most people get it to go or from a delivery service. It's a shame though, because there is plenty of space and it seems like a great place for groups, plus they keep the space pretty clean!

Not a big fan of there pizza. Been there twice and both time, I was disappointed. I notice their pizza, has a doughy texture. I still think Prime Pizza has a better quality and taste.

Love the pizza here! Always fresh and sooo bomb! The naughty pie is my favorite! Can't wait to try all the other pizzas

This is by far one of my favorite pizza places in New York. So you can understand how beyond excited I was to see so many locations open in California. I have tried them all and the quality is always top tier! The crunch and depth of flavor of these pizzas are beyond amazing. I will say, I prefer NY style pizza. The vodka, cheese, and spicy pepperoni are some of the ones to beat. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed!! You'll soon understand the hype :)

Had to come to prince street pizza after going to the beach. It's located in a nice lowkey area away from the beach. Parking is alright , had to find parking in front of their location. Service was good and I got my pizza pretty fast but the naughty pie this batch didn't have enough vodka sauce in my opinion.

Prince Street Pizza is a Classic New York institution. They are best known for their Sicilian Squares. All of their pizzas are available by the slice. The location is spacious and would be good for large groups. There's 30 min parking in the small lot behind the complex. For the food: I did my own "One Bite Review" Portnoy style since I had lunch plans. The slices are all crisp fresh out of the oven. The pepperoni cups are tasty, so make sure to grab a slice with pepperoni. I prefer the Naughty Pie with Honey. The Green Machine is the most flavorful with the pesto sauce really coming through. My favorite slice is the Mercer Margherita. The ingredients are so fresh and vibrant. They have some happy hour combos: M-W 12-7pm. Go grab a slice

So glad to have Prince Street so close to home! I've heard a lot about Prince Street Pizza from friends in NY so I was excited to try it out when I got the chance. My partner and I tried the Spicy Spring and the Mercer Margherita. There is no shortage of pepperoni with the Spicy Spring, every inch of the slice was covered. We enjoyed the little kick it had as well! The Mercer Margherita was my favorite, the sauce was sweeter than your classic Margherita and it works! The staff was great and friendly. They were very friendly and very accommodating of our questions. There is free parking located in the back alley if all street parking spots are filled!

This is my third or fourth time having Prince Street. At this point you could say I'm a frequenter. The first time I had their picturesque pizza was at their Arts District location and they live up to the hype and name every time. As someone that has cut out dairy I thought pizza was off limits forever, but I cut myself short in forgetting that cheese is a topping and thus can be omitted. Fortunately they serve a mean vegan margherita and it's honestly to die for! . My friend, Kara and I came here for a whole pizza donned with bell peppers, garlic and basil and a slice of carrot cake upon staff recommendations. The venue is spacious without being grand. The design and layout definitely plays the into the feel of the restaurant's size. . The main entrance has a few steps, but a few feet to the left of the front door is a wheelchair accessible entrance with a carpeted ramp that leads to the restrooms and the restaurant. It was super slow and quiet in there on an early Tuesday afternoon, so probably the best time to come in for lunch. We were helped by the manager and the staff were attentive and personable. If you're in Venice, go break bread with them!

Perfect Sunday afternoon treat! Stopped in to grab some pies for my job and stayed for a slice. Chase and Michelle were so helpful. The store has plenty of seats for dine in. Decorate perfectly for Christmas with some cool hip hop music. My wait for 3 pies were a little under 30 mins which isn't bad. They set me up with plates, condiments and even help me to my car. Great service even better food! Definitely will be back.

Must go to! Careful though, it's rich and thick crust, but absolutely delicious. Worth every penny.
