Not the same Vito's pizza... :(
Vito's pizza on Santa Monica Bl in Santa Monica
was a spontaneous and regrettable experience.
It's been over 4 years since my last visit to Vito's at the DTLA location, which apparently closed. I liked the cool space, super nice staff, the pizza, pasta and a glass bottle of Topo Chico to wash it down.
This SaMo location only has limited street meter parking. The spacious interior has ample seating with tables and chairs and picnic benches. A few small tv monitors. Upon entry, walk towards the counter and place and pay for your order. If paying via Apple Pay, the touchpad is not within reach, so you can hand your phone to the staffer.
The staffer who took my order must have been last in line when given vocal cords...she whispers she doesn't speak audibly and was NOT cordial towards Me and the other two customers.
Ordered a slice of my favs: slice of White, slice of Garibaldi, chopped salad. Disappointed, the drink menu didn't offer one of my fav sparkling mineral water Topo Chico :(
After taking pics of what looked semi familiar, but looked tad too oily, so I used silverware to cut a piece and try each pizzas. After a bite of the pizzas I almost gagged! Both pizzas tasted awful, stale and inedible. I was furious, I hate spending $$ for horrible food.
What the heck happened to the once delish pizza?!! The chopped salad looked good but even that was a let down. Had everything boxed and walked out asap. Steps away, was a homeless man and I asked if he was hungry for pizza and salad...he was grateful and accepted, otherwise would have trashed.
When I ordered, I didn't see a display of pizzas as you normally see at pizza places. Perhaps, that's a major clue, that the pizza slices you get are NOT fresh, because that's exactly what these pizzas tasted like. Shame on Vito's owner/management for serving such horrible food. The negative reviews are accurate, add this one star review.
It's NOT the same Vito's pizza!
Cannot recommend.
