Pizza places in the United States run from a counter with two stools and a stack of boxes to a full sit-down pizzeria with a bar, and most neighborhood shops do all three things at once: dine-in, takeout and delivery. Ordering by phone is still common and often faster than an app, and many independents charge less when you call direct because there is no platform fee. Sizes are usually listed in inches (a small around 10", a large 14", an extra-large 16" or more), and a large feeds two to three adults. Slices are sold from a display case at New York-style counters and reheated to order; whole pies take 15-25 minutes at a busy shop. Most spots take cards and mobile pay, though a few older pizzerias remain cash-only, so check the door or the listing before you order.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 5–9:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (310) 399-7979. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, lavecchia.com.

Unbeatable Service! The BEST!! Finding a restaurant that can consistently hit it out of the park for a family of six is no easy feat, but La Vecchia Cucina does it every single time. They are always incredibly accommodating to our large family, and the experience is nothing short of perfect. Literally every single dish, for every person at the table, is an absolute hit—we have never once been disappointed. The food is so delicious it genuinely makes you want to keep coming back for more. On top of that, every staff member is incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. Hands down, they serve the best Italian food around, and with the phenomenal service they provide, you won't want to go anywhere else. You can truly feel the difference when the owner is there, personally taking care of every client and making you feel right at home. Their sincere generosity and the welcoming, friendly atmosphere will always bring you back as it’s never disappointing and always on point. Amazing food, great service!!

My husband and I are visiting from out of town, and decided to check out this restaurant. As soon as we walked in, they were warm and inviting. We had made a reservation, which I think is a good idea for anyone. Jason was our server and he was so friendly and quick with our order. We got the caprese to split as an appetizer, and the Linguine Alla Zingara as our entree. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Thank you so much to the staff here for making it a fabulous anniversary dinner.

This is a fun place to visit with friends, good food and top notch service. The environment is fun too. We ordered the veal piccata, bolognese, chicken parm, and a couple appetizers, only plate I wouldn’t recommend is the fried zucchini (appetizer), didn’t fit the same quality as the rest of the plates.

Went to celebrate a family member's birthday after going to another restaurant that was closed unexpectedly. Tried to reserve a table for a party of 6 before opening, but was told to just check in at the Host Stand. Went and were turned away because they were booked completely. Thankfully the GM Scott came out and got us a table as long as we were out by a specific time. The place is smaller than expected, but certainly nice. Our server was absolutely wonderful, and very attentive. The entrees were incredible and the desserts decadent. So grateful they were able to accommodate last second and for such a larger party. We had a wonderful time. Thank you to the GM Scott.♡
