As other people have said, great pizza and pasta (as the name suggests) but they should stop selling other items. Look at this 10 pack of "wings," ruined my night to be honest. Looked and tasted like overcooked chicken nuggets with franks red hot poured on top, tough to chew & honestly awkward for me because I was like "this place is great trust me" then got this abomination. I had to eat the whole thing, and honestly feel like I participated in a crime. Still 3 stars because the pizza and pasta is great, and it's called pizza and pasta. But this place is a minefield, be warned. Edit: The AI prompt Google review adds below food photo says "Sweet and Sour chicken" which shows it's not just me. This was bad dude. I ate this four hours ago, still thinking about how bad it was

**4.3/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Proper Pizza & Pasta Los Angeles: Solid Neighborhood Pie with Room to Dial In** Stopped by **Proper Pizza & Pasta** on Larchmont Blvd and found exactly what the name promises: a straightforward, no-fuss pizza joint with a big, breezy **patio** that’s perfect for LA evenings 🌳🍕. The space is simple and welcoming—exposed brick, wooden tables, string lights outside, and a casual counter setup. The **host was quick** and friendly, seating us right away on a busy weeknight, and service stayed efficient throughout. Ordered the **Brooklyn** (classic cheese) and the **hot honey** pie. Crust is the highlight: thin-yet-foldable New York style with nice char and chew from the oven. Toppings are generous, and the hot honey version brings that sweet-spicy drizzle that cuts through the richness—solid concept and fun to eat. That said, deductions come from the core elements. The **sauce** leans bland and under-seasoned—more generic tomato than bright, garlicky punch. **Cheese** coverage was uneven and didn’t quite hit that creamy, stretchy ideal; some bites felt skimpy or greasy rather than balanced. Overall **seasoning** needed a bolder hand—more salt, oregano, or basil to wake things up. It’s good pizza, but not memorable in a city full of heavy hitters. Proper is still an easy win for the neighborhood—great patio for groups, fair prices, and reliably hot pies when you want something simple without waiting an hour. I’d return for casual hangs or takeout, especially with friends on the patio. Just wish the sauce and cheese got the same love as the crust. Worth a try if you’re nearby.

Got delivery from here through a third party but had to come talk about how great the food was. I’m from the east coast, and the garlic knots are some of the best I’ve had in my entire life. The chicken alfredo was pretty typical, but was hot and fresh even after having it delivered a few miles up the road. If I’m ever in LA again, I will most definitely return.

Pizza be good 😊 but garlic knots not so much,, greasy and even a bit tough. Only ate it cuz I was hungry. Pizza I will come back for. Great staff to answer questions,, just wish could reserve a slice or 2 if coming fast.

Its a very small shop with big flavor! What is Brooklyns proprietary Hot Honey on their menu? You have to try it to understand! Buy the slice, the pie, the stromboli, or pasta, and a cookie. Do not question it, just go to find out what a Proper Pizza and Pasta should taste like!
