Review from Sarang Y.

3 stars for taste, 4 stars for being open late night and selling by the slice!
So we were drinking down the street at Rosewood Tavern and we got the munchies. We were walking down to our cars and we see this pizza shop. We're like what the heck? What is this place, we've never seen before! So we go in and order a medium cheese pizza (3 large slices) and check out their microbrew beer selection. This hole in the wall has got some style! We were already toasty so we didn't get more beer but we would have if public drinking was legal. We stood on the street hovering over our pizza box. The pizza had a nice crisp thin crust and the cheese was dripping with oil and their tomato sauce had a nice sweet and sour kick to it. It's not the best pizza in the world but definitely awesome for late night munchies!
I was sad that there were only 3 slices and I had to share my slice with the husband. I told him we should have gotten a large! -

This pizza joint give new meaning to the word "Surly"!
The Good:
They are open 20 hours a day and will deliver anywhere in southern California, for a fee of course.
The Bad:
Like other reviewers stated, the staff at this dump are ALL surly and extremely rude to the customers. The "Them doing YOU a favor" attitude is an understatement. In their eyes, the customer is NEVER right!
Depending on which illegal alien is cooking your pizza, you will either receive a good pizza or an awful pizza; never a great pizza. The pizza is always inconsistent and usually under cooked, but on rare occasions it will be good (it's a coin toss)
Of course you should only carry out or get delivery because the place is such a dump inside. it's dark, ugly, smells bad, and the decor is from 1964. A first date would be sure to run if you brought her there to dine inside.
Not much more to add except like other reviews, the owner Mitch is rarely there and doesn't care how his staff treats customers, in fact he probably encourages them to be surly.
The bottom line is this place will do at 4am when you are finished drinking for the night and just need some food to absorb your heavy night of alcohol consumption. -

This is an average pizza joint. Everytime I've ordered here, I get delivery.
I am less than a 5 minute drive from here, but delivery always seems to take a while. This place must get busy, so you'll often see me staring out the peephole on my door asking "Where's Mr. Pizza?" (This is usually after a late night at the bar)
The great thing about this place are the hours. It is open LATE, and you can satisfy those cravings at almost any hour. -

I don't know why Damiano's has gotten such bad reviews. I'm from the east coast and I find it difficult to find good pizza in L.A.
My sister turned me on to Damiano's years ago and I love their pizza!!
I generally order the Sicilian and though I'm not a frequent visitor I have never had a bad experience.
I can't say the the staff was overly friendly, but they were in NO WAY rude. -

This pizza tastes like cardboard...no flavor...no pop. Crust stinks and the sauce tastes like a cheap tomato paste. The ONLY time Damianos tastes good is when you are intoxicated...and it is basically the only option at 2am. But all other hours....stay clear.

Overall, pretty good pizza and fairly close to NY quality pizza (for LA standards) with good sauce, decent crust and good size slices. It's great that they are open throughout most of the night - it's great to have this option after a night out.
I have to bump the rating down a few stars due to the price - toppings are extremely expensive and you can easily order a $40 pizza if not careful. Also, the quality of the pizza is inconsistent - sometimes it's one of the best I had out in LA, other times it's really greasy and generally poor quality.
It's a decent option in the West Hollywood/Mid-Wilshire area and definitely recommended for late night pizza cravings. -

Forty bucks for an extra large pizza? I think they're a HUGE RIP OFF!
Honestly the WORST service of MY LIFE, and the pizza was only mediocre.
Save yourself some trouble and order from somewhere else. (I mean, Papa Johns is pretty terrible, and even better than this overpriced crap!)
I'm even a waitress and have extreme patience for bad service, but this was just awful. Who cares if it is late night? There is no excuse for this crap.
I was extremely unsatisfied, and will not be going back... my friends suggested walking out on the check, I should have listened... so NOT WORTH IT! -

A basic cheese pizza the size of my head...I'll take it!
Their calzones are even bigger than my head...and they were scrumptious!!!!
You don't come here for the happy/smiley demeanor from the folks behind the cashier, but who the hell cares! They do it their way! -

Work and live within blocks of this place. First time going in today for lunch. Asked the young guy behind the counter which was better...the chicken parm or the eggplant parm. He said chicken so that's what I ordered, with a side a fries of course. Here is my review, the young guy behind the counter-rude. Even after I thanked him very much, and gave him a tip. The chicken parm, just how I like it. Garlicy, cheezy and messy with the sauce. The semolina bread is what made this hot samich. The chicken however was a little over done. The fries- my guess is that they were fresh, the sizes were not uniform and they were dark but soggy and undercooked. I love fries, I tried to save them by putting them on a cookie sheet and baking. They weren't even edible :( tossed them out. Gotta go back to try the pizza.

This star rating is so tough. I wish there were stars for the TASTE of the pizza and then stars for the REST of the place.
The pizza is GREAT! But don't get a normal BORING pizza. I get Shrimp, spinach and basil YUMMY!!!! I normally need ONLY one slice. The slices are NOT cheap, cause the ingredients are pretty darn fresh. If you want cheap go to little Caesars or something.
Now the looks and shape of the place gets a TOTAL thumbs down.
If you are a beer drinker, this WILL be your heaven. They have MANY choices of beers that are not regularly available.
Even the staff gets a 2 star depending on who is there. You can tell that MOST don't care. Every now and then you will get a waitress who is nice and friendly but NO worker has longevity. It seems most of the people are students, actors or new to LA and need work until they find better and as soon as they do they check out. -
Review from Frank D.
This is not the kinda place where you ask the employee what's good here or what do you recommend? Because you're likely to get a response like "Everything is good! Whaad'ya Want!??" or at least that's what happened to me when I stumbled in here at some godforsaken hour on a Sunday night er' Monday morning and asked such questions to the lady behind the counter. This place is open way after last call but if you get there before that they have an awesome selection of beers. I tried to sweet talk the waitress into letting me get one despite the time bit she wasn't having any of that so I ordered a Dr Pepper instead. They have a nice selection of old school bottled soda as well. I went with the gnocchi w/ pink sauce with meat. It was good but I've had better. The calamari was tasty but the breading kept falling off. The bread they served us was a little overbaked but then again so was I. The dining room is dimly lit. No tv's or anything. Just a small bare bones operation here. There's a counter up front that you can eat at but it was filled with delivery guys shooting the shit. Food was good. Service was pretty fast and the joint really does have a New York feel to it attitude and all.

If you live in the neighborhood, you kinda' have ta' at some point. I mean, pizza...cannoli...at 5am: *where*else?
If you don't live here, you don't have ta'. And you won't miss it at all. Simple.
But go at least once, preferably at 3:30am, so neither the "B" in the window nor the obvious dank that IS Mr.Pizza makes you sober enough *not* to eat here.
Honestly, I owe Damiano's much more, given how many times it has fed me (for fees, of course.) The pizza has an interesting kick, a tang uniquely its own. I kinda' convinced myself that 'tang' was good for me after a while. We know that road ...... I don't wanna' talk about it.
Fact is though: no one goes here in broad daylight. And that says EVERYthing.
I will proudly place this boilerplate ((seal)) on all of my pizza reviews: John's Pizzeria of Bleecker Street is the BEST; it is my *standard*. Everyone has different pizza standards, right? Some think Papa John's is 'the business'. *shriek and shudder* -

Always love stopping by here for a slice of pizza, perfect for a late night bite and the staff is really nice...the pizza is delicious and thin too...
I used to come here with a good friend until I lost him three years ago, now I go in occasionally and I have fond memories.
They are open until 4 a.m. and they deliver too... -

This place is kind of scary, but in a good way. It's dark and foreboding and there's a B in the window. None of this really inspires confidence. But hey, what do you want at four in the morning? Because yes, that's right, this place is open until 6am. What's more, they're serving up pizza by the slice as well as the full pie. Glory hallelujah, that is music to my ears.
But what really impressed me was the beer and soda selection. I've been slowly making the transition into beer snob, but I was delighted to see several of my personal favorites in the case, as well as many downright weird flavors of bottled soda. One of my friends decided to try the maple syrup soda, which actually did pack one hell of a maple aftertaste punch. Too bad I don't like syrup.
I would never come here unless I was in some state of intoxication in the middle of the night when nothing else was available. That being said, the food wasn't noticeably bad. That's a plus, right? -

Service has never been superb. But looking at the kind of drift that gets hired it's easy to see why. I am not a hater, the pizza is good, I like the low key old school diner style. Dark! Green lantern lights.
Good for when you want to chitchat, eat pizza, drink pop & go sugar hyphy bananas and no one is kicking you out. I love that you can order individual toppings on one slice! LA please. We do not have many epic pizza places around. They are not horrible, just their service. But who fucking cares.
I asked my friend to get some hot sauce... he asked the dude behind the counter and the guy said, "You are sitting down at a table, right? - Go ask your waitress."
Fucking hipsters ruin everything. Then he sat on the other side of the counter and had pizza with his friends. Lazy. Oh well. I just thought, I will go home and write about it on yelp. Toodles! :) -

This place looks not so yummy when you pass by, I wouldn't mind walking past and just going straight to 88 Chinese. :p
The calzone is alright, pizza sauce and cheese is like spagetti-o's and cheeze itz, two stars for late night delivery. -

I called today Jan 6th 2012 at 545am. It s a pleasure to have someone at this time of day commit to giving a customer the kind of customer service he did.This gentlemen stayed on with me for 8 minutes and gave me recommendations because i could not find the menu online. Either Damiano's has a strict hiring policy based on manners, or these guys are just inherintly nice guys (i'll go with that). I haven't received my food yet and honestly I don't even care if its good. Customer Service goes a long way.

Used to love this place but it has gone way down hill. Ordered a medium veggie pizza recently. Not only was it $26 after tip and delivery fee. But, you could tell something was wrong just by looking at it. The veggies were soggy and it did not look appetizing. It was gross! It ruined our evening as we both got sick from it. How do you screw up pizza- & veggie no less!?!? Will never go back which is a shame as it's so convenient. Would take Domino's over Damiano's any day.

Yes, it is very dark in this place (lol) BUT... I come here for their ground sausage pizza slices.... so delicious and flavorful.. I've never had a sausage slice piece of pizza like that in my life. I recommend trying that if you have doubts about their other slices. Tastes GREAT :)

Small, dark, narrow, grimy, insomniac of a pizza joint located in the thick of the Fairfax area. Across from Canter's and always a welcome pit stop after too much alcohol with your closest and most willing friends.
Ah I slide up to the bar and order a slice with anchovies. Yes, anchovies. The most dreaded of all toppings when surveying American children in the 80's has crept it's way into my heart...I always love what people hate. The salty, fishy bites mingling with the creamy sweet of the melted mozzarella on a wafer thin crust always brings a small tear to my eyes, narrowed from satisfaction like an anime cat.
Sadly, there was a pro thief making the rounds that night. My gal pal left her cell phone on the counter and this person went to work with spider-like precision and stealth. We called her phone but to no avail. The master criminal turned the damned thing off- it has full battery. Heed my warning. Watch your valuables there on a 3AM Fri/Sat visit.
Dig the wide selection of beverages from microbrew beers to artisan soda pops. They also have a sit down section in the back worthy of a goth date- darker my love...Menu also offers pastas, appetizers and other goodies to be enjoyed by stoners during the witching hours.
No parking but they do deliver late! -

NEVER ORDER DELIVERY unless you want to wait ONE AND A HALF HOURS as I am currently. I called back angrily and apparently I am going to be getting a free coke. GRRRRR.
DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY UNLESS YOU CONFIRM THERE ARE DRIVERS AVAILABLE. EVER EVER EVER.
Argh, but the pizza is very good. So pick it up ! Hence the second star. -

What started off as an amazing night at home has quickly become the worst night ever. I thought I'd order a quick pizza from Damiano (because they can be so damn delicious), watch a little TV and go to bed. An hour and twenty minutes later, the pizza STILL ISN'T HERE. When I call to see what's up, she answers the phone with "HELLO" and hangs it up, when I call I second time she answers with "DAMIANO PIZZA" and tells me she knows my pizza is running late because, "everyone is calling" and proceeds to tell me that it will be ANOTHER 20 MINUTES!
With (sometimes) decent pizza and a great location on Fairfax's up and coming restaurant row, Damiano's has the potential to be a really great neighborhood pizzeria. Unfortunately, nobody at Damiano's cares. They don't care about the service, the product and clearly, their business! I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM DAMIANO'S AGAIN. There are pizzerias in this town THAT CARE: They are clean, they're efficient and they make good pizza. Vito's, Joe's, Mulberry Street...EVEN DOMINO'S delivers in thirty minutes or less. In this economy, forget it. -

if i could give this "restaurant" a negative star ranking, i'd deservingly do so. The service is beyond horrible..... there is a problem with every person they have working there, they all have terrible just-out-of-prison like attitudes. My biggest beef with this place is the fact that my credit card information was stolen by an employee who works there. I should have picked up the red flag when the woman asking me for my credit card info was asking way too many questions (billing address, zip code, security code digits, name) I work at a restaurant and you do not need all that info for an order. Their B rating isn't helping their case either, however an A rating and free pizza couldn't get me back in that dump.

After a crazy and fun night at Voyeur (no, really, it was crazy! some dude try to fight 5 of us girls at the club!!), we were dying from the late night munchies. After calling several places and being turned down, Damiano's came to our rescue. They were the only place who would deliver to us past 2 am. It probably wasn't the best pizza but at 3am, it didn't really matter. It satisfied my cravings and I was able to fall asleep with a full tummy.
Now when I woke up the next morning, I realized that it was too greasy, and really not that great. But as a late night snack, it's perfect. And any place willing to deliver at 3am is okay in my book. -

I had eaten there before several times and found the pizza to be okay, but not this time. It was awful. The crust was like soaked bread and the pizza had very little flavor. In addition to the crust being soggy the toppings were either devoid of taste or tasted too strong.
The most disappointing part of the story was that I spent $40 dollars on a very terrible pizza. i don't think I will ever order form there again.
I usually give places a chance but this time it was just so bad that I can't forgive them for serving such awful food.
All in all an unpleasant experience. -

I've had a lot of pizza in my days. I walked in here yesterday for a slice. Ordered a pepperoni with mushrooms slice. Added a Coke bottle. It was a little over seven bucks. Received my slice about five minutes later and I gotta tell you it was garbage. Straight up Waste Management garbage.
The pizza dough crumbled in my hands like a Grandmothers chocolate chip cookie. I also love how they have all these vintage Sicilian type posters on the wall. These guys would be the laughing stock in Italy. Believe me Domino's has this place beat by miles. They need to shut the doors.
Garbage. Like Oscar the Grouch! -

The negative reviews of Mr. Pizza are baffling. A great many of them seem to be coming from Vegans who object to their brand of Vegan cheese. Feel free to purchase your vegan cheese elsewhere, and don't drag down this incredible landmark's Yelp rating with your bitter reviews.
Damiano's Mr. Pizza is the best pizza in Los Angeles, and it is not any sort of close. I don't believe that being a New Yorker makes me an expert, but it does mean that I have access to excellent pizza on a daily basis. DMP is amazing. Thin, crispy crust with just enough give to satisfy your carb craving, and fresh, made-to-order toppings which can be custom ordered BY THE SLICE. Unheard of, even in NYC. You pay a premium for the food, but get over it- we're capitalists. Go big, order a couple of rare beers, and be prepared to spend $20-$25 a head. Just do it. If you want cheap, shitty pizza, order from Dominos. This pizza is worth the drive, worth the money, and worth whatever wait is required.
Also: the beer selection is mind boggling. The atmosphere is dark and clandestine, which allows the occasional celebrity a modicum of privacy in the back. Good, central location right across from Canter's Deli.
DMP is a gem that I hope endures for as long as I live. -

This is the first Pizza place I tried in LA. A buddy and I sat and ate 2 1/2 large pizzas, by ourselves.
Your basic good, hole-in-the-wall Italian Pizza joint serving substantial, hefty pies, piled with toppings! Great late night or anytime! If you're really hungry and looking to chow down.....this be a spot to consider. The pizza really is quite good. -

I've been coming here since my days promoting for Insomniac Events. Yes please, go right ahead and remind me that I'm old! ;) I was at the Omni Center for the first Nocturnal Wonderland back on February 10, 1996. And yes, we did go to Damiano after it was broken up in our awesome, shiny, candy raver outfits. And then there was club Release down the street on Santa Monica--somebody else has to remember that amazing house club on Wednesday evenings! We'd hit up Damiano Mr Pizza after shaking our butts there, too. :) They're open really really late in case you haven't caught my drift!
Damiano has always been there for us to wind down with some awesome classic rock, some of the funniest characters that Hollywood has to offer (I've had many laughs just listening to stories from other tables or getting into funny conversations with drunk strangers who tell me that I'm their soul mate or dream woman) and it is the darkest restaurant you're ever going to attend--seriously! I like it, really dig it, and I LOVE their Italian house salad with shredded mozzarella (you have to ask for that on the side) and FRESH pizza even more than the classic rock and darkness at Damiano Mr Pizza!
And please, if you don't check out their 500 drinks I might just have to shed a tear! Fine, maybe not 500 but at least 275?! Just try, try, try! They have all these nifty vintage type sodas and brands like Moxie (which I've only ever seen while touring the east coast) or the BEST old-fashioned lemonade made with real sugar!
Overall, I'd say Damiano is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and totally reminds me of my late nights in Greenwich Village. Bagels and pizza and cool late night spots are always plentiful and delicious in New York but if you can't make it to NYC give Damiano Mr Pizza a try!Listed in: Best Of @ Los Angeles

Damiano's is a decent Pizza spot, not my favorite but I will say their Vegan pizza is pretty delicious, however.. RIDICULOUSLY over priced.
I usually will grab a quick slice if I'm leaving the Kibitz Room and just need a quick snack.
Overall not one of my personal favorites. -

Hey fellas. If you're taking a girl out on a first date, here are some good tips to keep in mind:
- Know where to go before picking her up. No one likes the "what do you feel like eating?" game.
- Don't make her wait over 2 hours to be fed. Nothing makes a girl bitchier than an empty gas tank.
- If you can't find parking, valet that hoopty. Unless it's for charity, she won't want to walk that mile in her cute heels.
- Don't take her to a restaurant that requires a flashlight. You will leave her wondering how ghastly she really must be.
- Don't try to send her subliminal messages by constantly repeating "it's okay, you're having a good time." If you actually have to remind her, she probably isn't having a good time.
- Take her somewhere other than Damiano's. Think classy - somewhere that doesn't only serve drinks in a bottle or can.
- Greasy burps are not sexy. Especially when making out.Listed in: I'm not a Player...I Just…, So Funny I Sharted

Latest entry in the One-Star Experience Series.
First, let us get the few good points out of the way -
1-They delivered to NBC in Burbank on one occasion in 1992, which is a haul, even at two in the morning on a weekday.
2-They are open pretty much through the night.
3-Always get a kick out of the FOB Russian delivery drivers who sit outside on the benches, waiting to fight over who will drive the latest delivery order.
Now, the rest -
Attitude of the people here - order taker, cook, waitress, busboy - blows. I am not doing you the favor of eating here, other than still keeping this shit-hole in business. This is not Ago in 1997 or Spago the first month after moving to BevHills. This is a crappy pizza joint on Fairfax. Those who mention that this is a real, authentic NYC pizza experience in terms of attitude have either never been to NYC or have not spent enough time there.
The beer selection is extensive for such a tiny, dark, dirty shit-hole, but 8-10 dollars for a 12-ounce bottle is "gettin' to be ri-goddam-diculous," to quote one John Wayne.
The food here sucks, too. Calzones are old, dry, and empty of filling. Pizza is cold, especially if you order it from the booths. The only time I have ever gotten semi-hot food here was when I waited right by the counter, constantly eyeing the guys and keeping track of the slices I ordered. And, most importantly, it is just not that good. If it was, the negatives could be forgiven and would be forgotten.
I have come to accept that the lighting is designed to hide the dirt-fest that is this place. They are never open on the daytime, get it? No reason to clean, as no one will ever notice the filth under the "lighting" scheme here. County Health Ratings have fluctuated between C and B. The plumber's office next door is cleaner.
Somehow, over the years, Damiano's has been able to get by on the drunks that stumble in at 3 in the morning, and, frankly, good for them. They are just not getting any more of my business after all these years. The last time I was here was it for me, and I am one who can hold a food grudge (no Taco Bell for 9 years).
Go here if there is absolutely no other alternative, but still try to hold out until the morning. Even Canter's across the street is a better choice, and that is not saying much.Listed in: Do your best to never…

And now, an excerpt from a typical Damiano's Pizza Night...........
Girl#1: GODDDD, I'm so wasted!
Girl#2: Oh I know tell me about (hiccup), I need to eat, what's open?
Guy#1: Hey you have a great rack!
Girl#1: Wanna make out?
Girl#2: Guys, cummon, I'm starving where can we go?"
Guy#1: Duuude, Canters
Girl#1: No way, the lighting is scary there
Girl#2: Oh yeah, true, oooh, how about Damiano's
Group: Cool!
Cut to Drunken Group sitting in the dark at Damiano's after 15 minutes a waitress finally comes over...
Waitress: What do you want?
Girl#2: Large Cheese Pizza and 3 waters, please
Waitress: (no words, just walks away)
52 minutes later, a luke warm pizza and no acknowledgement that it took half your lifetime to get to the table arrives.
Group: Oh my god, this is the best pizza ever.
Synopsis: If you're hammered like an MC, shit-howdied drunk to the point where cardboard would be edible, then Damiano's is the place for you. I would never in my sober existence eat at this rat hole, but for those times when it's 3:30am and Canter's is too bright, then yeah, Damiano's is a good call. Don't expect a friendly waitress though...ever.Listed in: Los Angeles Restaurants!, Los Angeles Pizza

Um, yeah...it did not look good and that's what the pizza tasted like. The cheese was rubbery. The slice was sadly limping. Now I remembered why I haven't ate at Damiano's for a very long time. I told my colleague that he should order from Vito's next time.Listed in: Pizza Galore!

disgusting, poor service and the only reason why i'd go there is to get their craft beer, which is behind BARS.
why is it darker than hell in there? why did i not get my salad before my pizza like i asked? why did it take the pizza 20 minutes to get into my belly?
why was the table so dirty? why was the seat so sticky? WHY WHY WHY? -
