Lamonica's NY Pizza has been a staple in Los Angeles since 1980, renowned for being the go-to spot for authentic New York-style pizza. The secret to their delicious pies lies in the fact that they make their pizza dough in Brooklyn, using New York City tap water. This attention to detail ensures each slice will transport you straight to the bustling streets of NYC.

Located within walking distance of UCLA, Lamonica's sees a steady stream of students and locals alike, all eager to indulge in a taste of the East Coast. The pizzeria has become a multi-generational favorite, with second-generation UCLA students now following in their parents' footsteps by enjoying Lamonica's signature tangy sauce and crispy crust.

Whether you're a regular patron or a newcomer to L.A., Lamonica's NY Pizza welcomes you to experience the true essence of New York pizza right here in the heart of Los Angeles. Come by for a slice of history and a taste of tradition that has stood the test of time.
