The Coop Pizza: Authentic NY Style Pizza in Los Angeles

Best pizza in LA hands down. It’s got the New York style down from the flavorful crispy crust to the perfect gooey cheese, even down to the gruff gentleman behind the counter slinging slices. A hidden gem. My only complaint is that I wish they were open every day of the week but we can’t have everything we want in life :,)

We've walked and driven by this place countless times before finally trying Coop Pizza. Boy, oh boy - were we in for a treat! TLDR: This is our new neighborhood pizza joint with some legit pizza. Initially, we had very low expectations. The somewhat run-down exterior didn't suggest five-star quality pizza. Despite driving by multiple times, we never ventured in. This was truly a case of looks being deceiving. After hearing people rave about Coop Pizza - some even driving out of their way for a slice - our curiosity grew. Could it really be that good? One night, we spontaneously ordered an XL for pickup, and Coop Pizza instantly became our new favorite spot. The size was perfect for two adults with plenty of leftovers. The reviews are genuine. The people are fantastic. The pizza is delicious. No frills whatsoever. The owners, Christina and her husband Mike, are absolute gems who pour their whole hearts into their craft, and it shows. They were very kind, patient and super personable. Heads up: this place is cash only - make sure to bring extra for tip!

As a Chicagoan, this NY style pizza is GOOD! I get a medium, easy extra sauce, pepperoni and sausage. Ran me about $17, which isn’t too bad. The lovely lady taking the orders is super sweet and so is the gentlemen making the food. Cash only and you can get a slice for $3.50. They also have Italian dinners for a reasonable price. Love them

An absolute neighborhood gem! This place is family run and makes solid pizzas for great prices. The staff is super nice and accommodating. Note that they now accept card, although with a 3% surcharge.

Anyone that says the positive reviews are fake are jaded. Genuinely the best pizza I’ve had in LA, and the family that run it are wonderful, warm and hardworking people. I don’t think you have to compare it to NY pizza, it’s just standalone good—and you can tell a lot of care went into it. The quality and price is also great compared to other spots that charge $30+ for a pie. Sure it’s near the station, but there’s a parking lot you can quickly just stop in to pick up. It’s our new go-to pizzeria moving forward, and we’re happy to be able to support such a gem.

I love this place so much! I grew up eating this pizza and it still tastes just as good as when I first had it. The owners are wonderful people also!! COOP PIZZA FOREVER

Not sure what y’all want for atmosphere, but this is just great pizza at a mom n pop place. Get a slice to eat there (stand at the counter) or take a whole pie home (we start eating once we get in the car w a couple of paper plates). There’s a liquor store right next door too, in case you need a liter bottle of coke, but The Coop does have sodas for sale as well. We love this place. I found this place when I lived in Venice and I introduced my wife to the Coop and now this is the only pizza place we eat around here… we now live in Silverlake and HAVE TO make a stop here whenever we’re on the West Side.

Great place and great owner, I am sorry I found this place late in my trip. I love these old school places and this one didn't disappoint. I highly recommend this place!!
