Abbot's Pizza

March 15, 2004
Rated 5 of 5 by Jason Culbertson from Santa Monica, California

This is some of the best pizza that you are going to find in the US. . . and I have had them all. It's made with bagel dough, which makes this an experience not to miss. Most importantly, this pizza is cheap and by the slice! Also, you can hang out on cool Abbot Kinney while eating.

Abbot's Pizza (creative tops on bagel pizza crust)

January 25, 2003
Rated 5 of 5 by TravelSoleus75 from Santa Monica, California

This is really a great spot to take in the foot traffic. It's a hole-in-the-wall with a giant following for the best pizza in L.A.

The pizza is New York crispy thin, but that's it. Everything else is totally Abbot's style. There's a bagel crust of your choosing, and then they have a set combo of toppings for your pie. The BBQ chicken is really the best BBQ out there (forget CPK), and the five onion is a personal favorite for all you onion lovers out there. There's a handful of others with creative names like "Bianca" and "Popeye's." If you're a little more of a control freak, you can order the exact topping you want . . . and no questions asked. The mixed fresh salad is a good side with the pizza. If you're single, Abbot's has a pizza by the slice in New York-size slices . . . (big) . . . nothing "personal" about this pie.

Abbot Kinney, where this pizza joint is located, has a mini New York "East Village" vibe, which includes the current gentrfication. But it's a great way to have a quick bite, step out onto the sidewalk, and people-watch. There are benches on the sidewalk in front of the neighboring coffee shop, and there are ledges in front of neighboring stores.

Abbot's Pizza (creative tops on bagel pizza crust)

October 8, 2000
Rated 4 of 5 by compass from los angeles, California

I lived in NYC. The way I figure it, that gives me instant credibility on life's essential topic of pizza. So, if I told you I have driven 20 minutes to get a slice of this bagel crust pizza, you know it is amazing.

First there's the bagel crust--firm to support globs of veggies, shrimp, four cheeses, olives, shitake mushrooms, oysters, tequila lime chicken--you name it! Crusts are trimmed in typical bagel fare--sesame, poppy, onion, garlic or plain. Sauces? Alfredo, olive pesto, garlic pesto, and tomato.

Abbot's has done the work for you in coming up with great, unique combinations; five onion, the greek, the four way (w/ red onion, peppers, mushrooms and four cheeses w/ olive pesto), cheeseless veggie, the gypsy pie, meat eaters, cheese bomb, popey's chicken and athens pie. Each of these gourmet pies is $16 for 16' or $12.50 for 12'. Make your own pie for $12.50 or $9.50. Add toppings for anywhere from $.50 to $1.50 based on the size of pie. Choose from 34. Slices are $2.50 each w/ toppings $.50 each.

Abbot's offers salads. I've never seen one ordered, so I can't tell you about them. There's a selection of non-alcoholic beverages.

The shop is small, clean, and busy w/ friendly, quick service. (These guys love making pizza!)Abbot's delivers nearby. Call to check your address. But a visit is worth it to read the chalk-board classifieds and the article in which scientists report you can survive on a deserted island eating only pizzas.

If those pizzas were Abbot's, the island wouldn't be deserted for long!

From journal Abott Kinney: It's like SoHo--but not, dude
