Great food and service

Best Italian Pizza in LA. Don’t come here if you don’t like crispy thin crust. Beer is limited to Peroni but sometimes they have other options. It’s Italian pizza so why not try the wine instead? You can bring your own but there is a corkage fee (line most places in the area).I tried the Bresaola Pizza and arugula salad and split that- enough for 2 people.I highly recommend trying this shop!Bon appetito!

loved the pizza!! highly recommend for a nice dinner with friends

The tiramisu was incredible, don't leave without trying it. The restaurant also had a great wine selection and wonderful service. I'll be back!

Delicious Pizza!! We love it! And the affogato gelato with coffee is perfect! Highly recommend!

Although we were very excited to try this restaurant, given the great reviews and gluten free options, the experience was a HUGE disappointment. The pizza was like eating frozen cardboard. I would’ve preferred a frozen pizza over this, 100 times over. It was just tasteless and textureless. In addition, the waiting staff had something to be desired. From having to ask for water refills to getting the kitten towel in our pizza and removing topping from half a slice, we were not impressed. Save your money and enjoy a pizza from dominos (I promise it tastes better than this and won’t cost you 25 a pizza).

I’ve wanted to check out South End for a while because it was highly recommended. Every time I would try to make my way out there, something always came up. It was annoying! Haha, But thank goodness I made it!While driving around doing errands, I was getting hungry and thought that today was the day to check out South End! I phoned in and spoke with a nice guy named Enzo. I asked what he recommended, and he said I should get their most popular pizza, the Kenney Pizza, which has: Crushed tomatoes, Burrata, basil pesto, and monini EVOO. He also recommended getting the Farro Salad which has: Arugula Cherry Tomatoes, Pesto no pine nuts, Pecorino Cheese, and Onions. Everything sounded amazing, so I went ahead and got both.When I arrived, I was helped immediately by Francesco. While waiting for him to bring out my order, I glanced at the restaurant. It was small, but they offered both outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor area is nicely done and seemed like a great area to eat.When it was time to finally dig in, I took a bite of the pizza and YUM, and it was really, really good. The flavors really worked well together, and the crust was mm mm mm! Now the salad… I too was so good! I never really had a salad with fennel, but it worked well with the arugula and balsamic. Next time, I’ll probably ask for more balsamic because I love extra dressing!I would love to come back and dine in to get the whole experience. I look forward to bringing my hubby for a night out and trying other items on the menu. I’m glad South End was recommended to me, or else I probably wouldn’t even have known it existed.Thank you again, Francesco and Enzo! I’ll be back! :)

This place is absolutely worth visiting. I just needed some food on a Thursday night, but I will definitely come back for a treat. Friendly staff, cozy place and good recommendations from the owner. Thank you!

Amazing Food & Great Service!Ordered a couple of pizzas. Their pesto and burrata pizza is tremendously flavorful. The crust was nice and crispy. Fresno Chile and pepperoni is a true classic. They also have a one if a kind fried burrata (think fried mozzarella on a next level).Come here for good food and drinks. Stay for an ambient experience and truly great service. Also pizza is half off during happy hour. Owner is extremely nice and was making sure we enjoyed our meal.

One of our favorite spots in LA. Amazing, well thought out pizzas, fantastic wine list. Very friendly. Absolutely love it.
