Roberta's

"LA’s original outpost of the famous Bushwick pizza spot (there’s another in Studio City), Roberta’s is our favorite place to eat at Culver's upmarket mini-mall The Platform and a dependable option when you want natty wine and Neapolitan pies on a peaceful patio. The wood-fired pizzas with bubbly, blistered crusts are the best things here—especially the iconic Bee Sting with soppressata, honey, and chili oil—but there are also solid cocktails and delicious (albeit pricey) salad-y dishes made with seasonal produce. Nobody is ever in a rush here, so plan on coming for a long lunch or post-work drinks with your coolest coworkers." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park

"Brooklyn’s premier pizza purveyors are slinging lunchtime pies at this airy Culver City retail development. The Bee Sting with sopressata, chili, and honey is the one to get, along with an heirloom tomato salad with raw cream and basil." - Eater Staff

"Roberta’s wood-fired, slightly chewy, beautifully charred pizzas include classics that made the OG Brooklyn spot famous and are available in Culver City or Studio City. Try the bee sting with pepperoni and hot honey or the famous original with tomato, mozzarella, parmesan, caciocavallo, oregano, and chile. Always-rotating, super-fresh vegetable dishes, well-mixed cocktails, and puffed-up pizza dough masquerading as bread and served with creamy cultured butter make this more than the average pizza joint." - Eater Staff

"Lil’ Stinker Kids T-Shirt, $20 Not only is this tiny T-shirt very cute, but it’s also a clever little homonym - the Lil’ Stinker is one of our favorite pizzas at this restaurant. Also, you’re welcome for reminding you of the word ‘homonym.’ Maybe that can be our Christmas gift to you?" - kat hong

"LA’s outpost of the famous Brooklyn pizza spot, Roberta’s is an ideal way to end a long day of getting in arguments with your cat because you’re not used to spending so much time together. This Culver City spot serves tremendous wood-fired pizzas - the iconic Bee Sting (with soppressata, basil, chile, and honey) is excellent, as is the Cheesus Christ (mozzarella, taleggio, parm, black pepper, and cream). You can order delivery or pick-up on most apps, or through the online Platform Drive-Through, where you can also get food, groceries, and sundries from several of Roberta’s neighbors." - brett keating
