Best pizza in LA. Joe D'Amore puts his heart and soul in this place. The recipe is his grandmothers - straight from Naples. He brings the flour, tomatoes and cheese from Italy himself. The flour, Caputo flour, has 80 percent less gluten than American flour. 80 percent!! Not a speck of grease from the cheese. Absolutely sublime and delicious. Two giant cheese slices and I feel great. Come support Joe and his fantastic iconic pizza place in Malibu. People are hurting up here still from the fires. He needs your support and giving it is outright delicious. I shall return!!

The pizza was absolutely amazing, but what really stood out was the customer service from Joe. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The crust was cooked just right, the sauce was flavorful, and the cheese was perfectly melted. Joe’s positive attitude and professionalism made the entire experience even better. Great food and even better service. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others.

So wonderful! Met Joe the owner, he was so great. He told us about how he and a lot of his friends lost their homes to the fires last year and with that almost all of his local customers. Please support if you can! The pizza is seriously delicious and made with quality ingredients.

Easily the best bite of pizza I’ve had in my life. Came from Toronto to try this highly rated spot and it was 100% worth it. Even got the chance to meet Mr. Damore—amazing owner and service to match. 🍕👏

Best pizza outside of Italy and we are pizza addicted. Ingredients strait from Naples! Joe himself even came out and told us about his grandmothers recipe and you can tell how special it is by the taste

The BEST pizza place in Malibu, and all of Los Angeles. Joe, the owner is AMAZING and so personable. D’Amore goes above in beyond with their customer service, food quality and overall experience. The pizza is thin crust and incredible. They import the dough from Italy and it’s not greasy at all. Joe even gave my dog some organic chicken, he’s so sweet! Please go support!!

After being overseas and returning to Malibu we were hoping for a slice of pizza from D’Amores! 😍🍕 D’Amore’s Pizza in Malibu is the definition of real Italian pizza done right. From the very first bite, you can taste the difference—this isn’t just pizza, it’s a tradition. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, with many imported straight from Italy, and every flavor feels intentional, balanced, and authentic. What truly sets D’Amore’s apart is the recipe itself. The pizza is made using the owner’s grandmother’s original recipe, and you can feel that history and love in every slice. The crust is perfectly cooked, the sauce is rich and flavorful without being overpowering, and the cheese is exactly how real Italian pizza should be—simple, high-quality, and unforgettable. Beyond the food, the heart of D’Amore’s is its owner he’s genuinely kind, welcoming, and passionate, he makes everyone feel like family the moment you walk in. It’s not just a place to eat—it’s a place that brings people together and makes the community stronger. We’re especially grateful for D’Amore’s, knowing the challenges they’ve faced. After tragically losing their home in the fires, the owner continues to show up with resilience, warmth, and generosity. Supporting D’Amore’s means supporting a local family as they rebuild while continuing to build community, one slice at a time. 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 If you’re in or around Malibu stop in for a slice or a whole pizza pie! Whether it’s for a little league event, a game night with friends, a cozy night at home with a classic movie, or taking a couple slices to the beach to watch the sunset with your love …😍 We truly love D’Amore’s Pizza, and we can’t recommend it enough. 🍕❤️ A huge Thank You from our Military Family. 🙏🏼❤️

First time trying Joe’s pizza and it was amazing. He was very sweet and welcoming. We wanted to get pizza to go and drive to the mountain to watch the sunset. We came in 30 minutes before sunset and we made it with 10 minutes to spare 🤣 service was very good and it was fast. I recommend looking at the photos on the wall it was entertaining. I definitely recommend going to Joe’s when you’re in Malibu.

Joe's a great guy, and friendly salesman. I felt like he really cared about his pizza and his customers. Close to the ocean, very clean location for relaxing comfort dining. Its no wonder this restaurant has such a famous following. Definitely worth the money!

My wife and I had an amazing experience at D'Amore's Pizza in beautiful Malibu. Joe, the owner, greeted us, told us about the star-studded history of the place, the ingredients fresh from Italy, and the devastation of the recent fires. Joe personally brought our slices up to the incredible rooftop terrace, where my wife and I enjoyed a lovely lunch while watching the peaceful waves of the Pacific Ocean right across the street. The pizza is delectable, the service is impeccable, and the views will soothe your soul. This is a can't-miss stop for anyone driving down the Pacific Coast Highway. Thanks, Joe! Next time we are in California we will be back.

D'amores Pizza shop is a great spot for a slice when in Malibu. The place is not fancy but the pizza and staff are great. The pizza is a Boston style thin and greasy.. reminds me of House of Pizza in Andrew Square in Boston. But these guys are great.

We were so lucky to stumble upon this hidden gem in Malibu. If you’re in the mood for pizza, it’s an absolute must-visit! Very friendly service, fantastic flavour, and don’t miss the roasted peppers! It’s also just a short walk across the road from Malibu’s main beach, so you can even enjoy your pizza right by the ocean. The restaurant itself is equally nice with a big photo wall to explore while you wait for the delicious food! We loved every bit of it.

I’ve been coming to D’Amore’s in Malibu for years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently top-notch — from the perfectly crisp crust to the rich, flavorful sauce and fresh toppings, every bite reminds me why I keep coming back. The atmosphere has that relaxed Malibu charm, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting Joe, the owner, and it made the experience even better. He’s incredibly down-to-earth, kind, and genuinely cares about his customers and his team. You can tell the pride he takes in what he does reflects directly in the quality of the food and the vibe of the place. If you’re in Malibu and craving authentic, delicious pizza made with heart, D’Amore’s is a must.

This place absolutely blew me away. The pizza was phenomenal—easily the best slice I’ve ever had, even compared to top spots on the East Coast. You can taste the quality in every bite, thanks to ingredients imported directly from Italy. It’s the only pizza I’ve found since moving from abroad that truly feels authentic. What makes the experience even more special is the location. You can see the ocean while you eat, which adds a peaceful, scenic backdrop to an already incredible meal. Between the flavor, the view, and the attention to detail, this isn’t just a meal—it’s something you’ll remember. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates real, traditional pizza done right.

I had the pleasure of visiting D’Amore’s Pizza in Malibu and was lucky enough to meet Joe D’Amore himself. He greeted us warmly, walked us through the menu, and even shared the secret behind what makes his pizza so special — the flour he uses. His passion for great pizza truly shines through. We ordered the cheese pizza, and it was absolutely unbelievable — thin crust, perfectly baked, and incredibly flavorful. We also tried the chicken pizza with added olives, which was fresh, delicious, and bursting with flavor. On top of that, we had the cheese ravioli and chicken tenders, both of which were excellent. It was a real treat to enjoy one of the best pizzas in the U.S. and meet the man behind it. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting Malibu!

A small little pizza place but great food. The pizza is really amazing. The hot sub was okay. The owner and staff are welcoming and the service was quick too.

The Pizza was tasty! We also got 4 of the meatballs which were surprisingly delicious. The food was tasty but when it comes to how much they change, be ready to pay as if you are dining at a 4 or 5 stars restaurant and not paying for a pizza and 4 meatballs! Pizza + one Fanta drink and 4 meatballs came out to be more than $75! For a one time thing, ya sure but going back for a $75 pizza, naaaaaa

Honestly, I'm disappointed in the price compared to the quality of the pizza. I never thought in a million years I'd pay $19.00 for a slice of plain cheese and a combo slice. The bread kinda tasted…
