"Ronan is a pizzeria first, but we’ve used this slightly hidden spot (walk into the parking lot next to Be Bright, the host stand will be to your right) for all sorts of things. We’ve had killer first dates on the candlelit patio, sangiovese-fueled friend dinners at the wooden communal table, and last-minute pizza parties with family on the weekends. Speaking of pizza, it’s some of the best in LA. The Neapolitan crust is perfectly charred and slightly chewy, with ingredients like guanciale and ricotta that are ideally spread across every slice." - team infatuation
"Aim for the two-story floral mural to find this Italian favorite with a dive bar-feel and plenty of LA style. Sit in the lovely patio, or head inside to the black marble bar. Other options include booths as well as an attractive communal table crafted from a varnished wood slab. Diners can expect to see pizza dough stretched, blenders whirring and the wood-fired oven crackling, all of which contribute to Ronan's swank allure.Come for their hand-stretched Neopolitan pizza, as well as their shared plates using seasonal produce and ingredients, with appetizers like their spring arancini with pastrami-spiced maitake with English peas and garlic, or their charred broccolini with their house blend of za'atar, fresh mint, and a Meyer lemon aïoli." - Michelin Inspector
"The crust on Ronan’s Neapolitan pizza is perfectly charred and slightly chewy, with ingredients that are ideally rationed across every slice. Start your meal at this West Hollywood-adjacent spot with the margherita for a showcase of Ronan’s expertise at its simplest, then move on to much wilder, ingenious creations like the Philippe's-inspired French dip calzone, stuffed with rare roast beef and hot mustard. These are precisely engineered pies: the guanciale and ricotta-topped Sweet Cheeks is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy.

"Sotto veteran Daniel Cutler oversees this pizza and small plates restaurant with his wife and general manager Caitlin Cutler. With inventive pizzas boasting supple but charred crusts and levain bread with a wonderfully brown crust, Ronan is a haven for those who love carbohydrates. There are 10 different topping combinations, but the Super Marionario with anchovies, garlic, and tomato sauce is a highlight. The dining room is deeply moody and perfect any night, and the cocktails are terrific too." - Matthew Kang
"When dining out with young children, pizza is always a safe bet. The kids’ menu at Ronan is full of favorites for the younger set including plain cheese pizzas, buttered noodles, and marinara pasta; carrot and broccoli sides, prepared in an unfussy way, are available for kids in the rare mood for vegetables. For dessert, a slice of wood-fired cheesecake or homemade ice creams in flavors like chocolate chip or gold medal ribbon will seal this spot as somewhere the whole family will want to visit again." - Nicole Adlman
