New Vibey Pizza Spot in Arts District: De La Nonna

Top-notch pizza, oysters, natural wine, and craft cocktails. I’m there. De La Nonna is SUCH A VIBE. It’s giving Italian/Amalfi coast summers mixed with LA backyard pool party. A mixed crowd ranging from families with small humans (it me), influencers in the wild, foodies, and date nighters.

• Ressies available on RESY. They also offer delivery on DoorDash but HIGHLY RECOMMEND dining in.

• Parking - we were lucky and immediately found metered parking right in front which is V rare in Arts District. Valet is easy but it’s about $20.

• Order at the counter and start a tab or close out right away. Take a number to your table. Waiters walk around to check on you as well.

• Staff was very knowledgeable and made great menu and wine recommendations. They were also very accommodating and set up our baby’s high chair.

• ORANGE WINE!

• One pizza order is meant to be a “personal pizza” and prices range from $16-$21 with add ons. Pricey, yes for sure. Worth it? For effing sure.

My husband and I shared 2 - the PEPP (pepperoni, tomato, mozz, and pecorino) with added spicy honey ofc and the Market pizza (which is their seasonal menu item). This summer they’re offering a corn/ricotta pizza and if you love corn like me, wow just wow. Foccacia/Detroit-style, airy but crispy, perfect mix of flavors in every bite.

We splurged and got 3 apps: oysters and 2 eggplant dishes, but my fave was Eggplant Caponata (middle pic). If you’re into spice, you’ll like it too.

We will definitely be back and preferably on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday because they have a pretty great deal of 2 pizzas, Caesar’s salad, and a bottle of wine for $75.
