Martini’s Pizzeria

1 Point — Food arrived Hot and prompt
1 Point — Food was fresh. Lettuce was crisp & green. Salmon and chicken were both moist
1 Point — Portions were appropriate
–1 Point — Food was bland. The salmon needed some garlic, lemon, season salt, something. Even the buffalo sauce lacked flavor. The marinara tasted just like a tomato, no basil, no garlic, just a tomato straight from the garden.
–1 Point — Everything appeared to be watered down. The Bleu Cheese had the consistency of milk. Being employed by a restaurant that used milk to stretch ranch & blue cheese I have a feeling this is what they do. Not even the cheapest bleu cheese is that thin. The marinara was most likely watered down as well as the buffalo sauce. That could explain the lack of flavor.
My suggestion: Add .50 to your prices, so you don’t have to water down your sauces. I would not order anything with sauce from this place. I would order salads, but I have my own dressing. Maybe next time I’ll try a sandwich.
My order: Buffalo Wings, Salmon Salad, Meat Lasagna

Took a drive here from hearing about it from my husbands co workers, ordered a bunch of food. The fettuccini Alfredo was too «light» tasting for my liking, but it was still good. The pizza was alright, not the best but not bad. The Italian sandwich was the best out of the 3, I just wish I would of got the bread toasted with some garlic butter on it… Service was good. I felt bad because it was only one man on the shop during the time my husband and I went and had to keep getting up asking him for things. Overall would come back for that sandwich and get it toasted next time.

So we are in transit and in an LAX area hotel. Searched for local delivery Italian food and went with Martini’s. Food arrived to our room in 45 minutes and the delivery guy was very friendly. I was worried when he handed me the food as the bags were very heavy. I was thinking are they making up for quality with quantity???
NOPE! Food was fresh and flavorful. Hearty portions so those who don’t have huge appetites I would advise to split any of the pasta meals with a significant other. Bummer that we are flying out early AM tomorrow and we could only eat half of what was delivered.
Highly recommend Martini’s Pizzeria!

Good food! Ordered a medium supreme and a large salad for (free!) delivery. Both were high quality. The crust was perfect and the toppings were fresh. The salad was also very fresh and a good blend. I will order from here again.

Service was eh, food was good. Had the calzone and it was stuffed with toppings. A bit light on the cheese but not super doughy like most calzones. Atmosphere was convenience store-​ish if you can picture that. If you want decent Italian and at a good price, look no further. As others mentioned, get the pizza or calzone as the other food choices didn’t appear as «fresh.»

My new favorite spot the food is good marinara sauce made the perfect way, good menu for ataste of Italy

Had not been here in years. Forgot about the place as it’s in a small strip mall that’s not that easy to access. Must have been eating too many frozen and/​or chain pizzas because this was incredible! My sister who is super critical took one bite and exclaimed, «This is GOOD! I only intended to eat one piece, but have to have two.» The pizza reminded me of the east coast pizzas that I grew up with; extremely fresh and tasty with a crust that was just perfect, not too doughy, nor too thin, but perfectly textured with the kind of taste that ensured you were going to eat it all. I’ll be rolling back here frequently from now on. Found the service to be OK and the two folks I met running the place to be very congenial.

Got this deal on Groupon, even though it is right in our area, I’d never seen this place before. We were really pleased with the pizza, it was ready on time, very well prepared. The crust was not too thick and it had a nice light crispyness. All the ingredients seemed fresh. Definitely will be getting pizza from them again. Yummy!

Chicken parm was just a frozen patty with bad sauce and cheese. Calzone however was fresh. Made with ricotta which was different. Basically stick to pizza and calzone because it’s made fresh.

What a godsend this little place was for me today!
I needed a place to host a lunch for 14 people to honor an out of town relative. My family loves pizza but the idea of going to one of the chains, with the loud music and overwhelming noise, was horrifying. Martini’s was PERFECT.
We occupied all the tables and chairs and, while some customers came in for take-​out, we felt we had the place to ourselves. We were able to mingle and talk to each other while eating delicious pizza, garlic bread and salad.
Kish, the owner, couldn’t have been more accommodating. He and Andrew filled my every request quickly and graciously. My guests had a great time and a wonderful meal.
Martini’s margherita pizza is my new favorite food.
I found Martini’s through an Amazon local deal but decided not to use the coupon today because I know I’m going to come back again. I will bring a friend so that I can share this great neighborhood find.

I’m back– with absolutely no regrets. Andrew went above and beyond, and once again, the owner was in, and we greeted one another with smiles.

Had the chicken Alfredo. It was made to perfection! The sauce was perfect temp, creamy, and had a light cheesy taste. Some sauce have too much of a cheesy or parmesan taste. This was on point! Chicken was Cooked well also. Perfect amount of salt. I can’t wait to try other items on the menu. Also the customer service gets 10 stars for all effort made in preparing my order. Customer service at its best. I’ll continue to order from Martinis. Thank god for good food.

this place is pretty close to me, and because of the weird shopping center it lives in, I was left unawares. I found them on Unilocal with a bomb a$$ — $ 15 for $ 30 deal, so I gave them a shot (even with the mixed reviews) Here is the low-​down from my perspective.
THE GREAT:
The food that day. I had a calzone with some veggies thrown in with a large salad and fries (I was hungry that day and gave ZERO) and the wife had the fettuccine alfredo with some broccoli. The calzone and fettuccine were ON POINT. The flavor was good — the portion size was great. I have not had such a tasty calzone in some time — and I like that I chose the fillings, not just some pre-​made number. The soft-​drinks were in a can, but there was a good selection and only 99¢ unlike some places that charge 2.00−2.50 for a freaking soda. (?!) The salad was ggod — fresh and a fair size;maybe throw a couple additional toppings.
Bottom line: Yes, I would pay full price for this place again– the coupon never sways my opinion. Definitely getting a calzone from them again.
THE NEEDS WORK — (not 5 stars yet)
Place some wax paper or something under the calzone please!!! This almost got them one less star. The bottom of the calzone had to be peeled from the cardboard that was stuck to it and it only traveled ½ mile.
Find another travel container for the fries besides a plastic box. They sweat and get soggy very quickly– blech
Lastly — better salad dressing– that blue cheese was thin like milk. LIKE MILK!
P. S. the prices are different than on the menus you might find online including the Unilocal pictures. GO directly to their site — all other locations are old info.

Delicious pizza. Perfect dough. The owner is very nice and the rest of the staff are very friendly. Great place to get catering for a party, the prices are very reasonable. The owner is willing to work with you on special orders for your event. I would take my family there for dinner again.

There are not a lot of great pizza places in Culver City… there just aren’t. However, I ran a across a little jewel in the rough tucked inside a strip mall on the Culver City/​Westchester boarder. The pizza was really delicious and much better than Rocco’s or Victor Jrs. I got to chat with the owner who was very sweet and the service his staff gave me was impeccable. I didn’t get to try one but the guy I was with was having a philly cheese steak and he said it was terrific. I will definitely be going again. Finally some good pizza in Culver City!

I was in a serious time crunch after spending my lunch at the post office. Across the street from my office I was faced with the WORST options. I ran in here before the donut place because I saw they had pizza. I asked the dude if they had slices ready because I had to jet, and he said sure. I asked for cheese and he cashed me out and took my $$$. He said it would be a few minutes and I asked him to throw it in a bag. I ended up with this tiny, old ass slice of shit that was ice cold. I don’t know when it was made, but there’s white stuff on the spots without cheese. :(
7-​Eleven pizza is better than this. FUCK!

This is LITERALLY 1 mile from my house, 3 min as a drive on map quest. we only ordered delivery because we’d had a long day at Disney and didn’t want to go back out. Orderd at 5:25 on a Thurs. and was told 40 minutes, only to have it show up 1 hour and 15 minutes later. Bit lame.
AND the pizza was UNDER cooked. A soggy mess where the dough appeared soft and uncooked fully in places. Prices are good but not if you get a HOT MESS. The sub was okay, not spectacular.
I was super disappointed in the quality and the time frame. I honestly feel like there is no excuse for that long on a weeknight with it being so close. I may try again to see if getting it fresher makes a difference since they DO have a ton of bread options. We tried it for how local it is to where we now live but it was only so so.

This place is totally mediocre. Margarita pizza was alright — it was heavy on the sauce and too light on the cheese. I also ordered a Cesar salad which was just lettuce with grilled chicken on top — no cheese or croutons. The meatball sub was also a little thin and sad looking.
On the bright side, the food was delivered quickly and the delivery girl was very friendly. Probably won’t be eating here agin though.

Ordered 2 pizza’s, salad and chicken wings.
What we got under cooked soggy pizza, chicken wings tasted like frozen half thawed COSTCO wings and Salad Crumbled lettuce couple of tomato slices and that it. I hate to comment like that, it was one of the worst food delivered we ever got… not worth the price and time we paid in ordering.

Poor Service… Yuck!
Even if the food wasn’t spectacular at a place but the service was fantastic, I would consider going back. However, the opposite is true too. If the food is good but the service stinks, it’s not worth my money– especially not in LA where there are so many awesome food places!
:-)
With that said: food is not bad-​but not great… I’ll get back to that.
The location and actual eating area are nothing special. Don’t bring a date here. No airconditioning in the summer.
Be Warned! It’s on a corner with a bum haven nearby… I know because I work near the area and feel the need to carry pepper spray with me or be accompanied by a buff dude… or dudette… whatever’s available at the time. ;-)
K. Back to the food…
FOOD:
I’ve been here twice and eaten food from here thrice… just enough to know what’s going on.
Pizza is ok. Sandwiches are pretty tasty (cheesesteak and turkey sandwiches were yum).
Everything they have in the display case looks and tastes gross. Do not venture to try that unless you want to read a novel in the restroom. My coworker ate some macaroni salad from there that was pretty rank and really upset her stomach.
SERVICE
Man does their quality of service reek (hence the single lonely star)! Obviously they don’t really care to satisfy their customers, which is terrible for them because I will absolutely not recommend this place to anyone who works in my office building.
I could bore you with detail but it suffices to say that they make no effort to keep customers happy. It’s one of those places that nickel and dimes you and finds loopholes to charge you more for their «specials.» After attempting to order a lunch for my coworker and I, and the guy behind the counter not being a good salesperson or willing to appease, I left and ordered a sandwich from Dinah’s which was actually bigger and quite tasty! Plus it came with a side salad for the same price. At least at Dinah’s I got service with a smile ;-)
The mexican place next door-​VIVA FRESH is really good too! Excellent chicken tacos if you’re in the neighborhood.
