Reviews
Shame they had to close.. We dined here shortly before they closed as a friend of ours are big fans of Gorilla Pies. I liked them a lot and loved their unique pies, especially the use of fermentation in their sauces and condiments.
All I can say is every single time my wife and I went to Gorilla Pies we were impressed. The owner and staff remembered us and our menu tastes, we were treated with respect like VIPs and the pizza and salad was absolutely tremendous. Every single time. Maybe the best pizza we have ever eaten. We have called in orders the day before and the pizza was ready when we arrived. I know nothing of some of the bad reviews on this site about Gorilla Pies but from our families experience they are not consistent with the quality and service we received and I can't believe them. I have eaten pizza coast to coast for 61 years and the Gorilla Pie is amongst the best anywhere in the USA. Come back soon Ben & company. Our taste buds are reeling from your absence! ...Drew & Gisela missing our friends at Gorilla Pies...
My partner and I are SUPER sad to see this place go. We've had a five-star experience with food, service and ambiance each time. We've been here a handful of times and we LOVE to eat our pizza gorilla-style. We did the date night combo once that I think included a pizza, salad and dessert. Everything is delish!
First off, WOW. One of the better pizzas I've had in LA. Super flavourful, exactly what your looking for when craving pizza. The service is great as well. So happy this is 3 minutes from my house lol!
I really, REALLY hope this place reopens. They have the most interesting pizzas in town (interesting GOOD): multiple base sauces to choose from (spicy or reg marinara; spinach and ricotta...so good!) Tasty topping combos, great Brussels sprouts, even good desserts. Come back, Gorilla pies!!
