MASA

Absolutely the best deep dish pizza around. We had a party of 9, and our food, service, and ambiance were top-notch. Seriously, the pizza was delicious! You can tell the chef/owner care about their customers.

Just not it

I’m not a big fan of tomato chunk pizza but this pizza is still really good. It’s Chicago style deep dish pizza. Their Spanish manchego salad is incredible. Service is upbeat and friendly. The place has a cozy interior with a few tables along the sidewalk. It’s dark inside so there’s a cool mood and vibe. Meter parking.

I got the Meatballs and the Lots of Meat Deep Dish Pizza (with extra onions and spinach) here. Overall, I liked the meatballs, although they were kind of pricey ($12). They had really good sauce, and the meatballs had good texture. For the deep dish pizza, the crust tasted pretty nice, and the sauce and pepperoni were good. Though, I did feel that the sausage that it came with was a little drier (or didn't seem as fresh) as I had expected. I still liked it, but I did feel like I had better deep dish in the city. Possibly, it might have just been a one time thing that I got pizza that was good and not great, as I have heard from friends that they considered Masa their favorite deep dish place in LA. Beyond that, i felt like the staff was very friendly, and gave really good thoughts about what to order, and checked on us frequently. I would be happy to visit again, to see what else they have.

The pizza pie here is massive, so make sure you come hungry. I visited with 3 friends and we struggled to finish everything that we ordered, which included two appetizers (meatballs & calamari) and two entrées (large pizza pie and pesto penne pasta). But I regret nothing. The food was so delicious I’d put myself through that struggle all over again. ????
