Before the location in Manhattan Beach closed, Lucifer's had my favorite gluten free pizzas. I hadn't been since then until yesterday I happened to be nearby this location and stopped in with a friend.
When we walked in the restaurant tables were completely empty and two staff members were working. No one greeted us as we waited with another woman who was standing there waiting to also have her order taken.
We eventually ordered a few minutes later and sat down. Before our food came I asked if there was a restroom (thinking the sign was for people who weren't customers.) I was told there was no restroom for customers, only employees and that I could go "ask around" to see if another business had one. So I asked if there was a place I could wash my hands - this is pizza place after all.. I was given the rudest response by the woman in the photo. I asked if she could please give us a few wet paper towels and she then let out a sigh and turned her back on us. My friend went back up to her and asked again when she replied "You're going to have to wait a few minutes, I'm busy" then again turned away and proceeded to browse on her cellphone. After a third attempt the gentleman who was working was nice enough to give us wet and dry napkins.
The pizza was just as great as I remember but the experience left a terrible taste. It's a bummer that a place with so much potential has the worst staff and customer experience.
Stick with take out.
Outstanding food, ambiance, and service!!! We are regulars here at Roots after stumbling upon it a few years back. Typically enjoy their butter chicken, cheese dosa, and aloo tikki. Also delicious & very reasonably priced cocktails, around ~$12, highly recommend the Punjabi Mango & Nirvana Sangria.
We have had Indian food all over LA and this is our favorite by far!
As Punjabi-Americans, Roots has a special place in our heart for the way it blends traditional and creates new fusion flavors. This is the type of place our grandparents & our West LA friends would equally appreciate!
Tons of vegan and gluten free options & an allergy marked menu, much appreciated by this Celiac. Our server Noor was very knowledgable & went above and beyond. The host Harshobit was fantastic as well.
Top notch experience overall, we’ll be back soon Roots!

I have a gluten allergy and want to confirm that they can make all ramen broth gluten free and have gluten free ramen noodles (+6 but well worth it). The ramen was delicious, though pricey. This was also the fastest I have ever been served (at 8:30pm on a tuesday), the ramen was served within < 10. minutes of ordering at the kiosk. Highly recommend. I went with the bold ramen, 2/4 spicy (would do 3/4 next time), pork, egg, add woodear mushrooms (don’t recommend bc they are sliced), and cabbage. Yum.
Love love love love love this place and the cooks. I order delivery often but have never gone in. Breakfast lunch or dinner. Has yummy gluten free pancakes! I like their cheese eggs and pot roast but everything I’ve had from here down to the drinks is fresh and delicious.
My dining experience at Della Terra was a 10/10. The owner Michael and his staff took amazing care of our large group and the food was super delicious. I had the penne alla vodka (an off menu item that Michael suggested) with gluten free noodles and it was so creamy and tasty. Would definitely return especially if I’m looking for somewhere that seats large groups!
Service was excellent. Food was pretty good. They have a good selection and gluten free options although the bread was a little stiff on the edge for the French toast. Overall I’d eat there again.
There was a minimal wait, the food took some time to arrive but was fresh. The Benedicts were done to perfection, the French toast was definitely crispy though a little lacking in flavor. Great experience with affordable pricing, many vegetarian options. Menu also mentions gluten free choices.
LIFE CHANGING AÇAÍ BOWLS!!! Whenever I go here, I feel so much more at peace and content. Not only is your body being nourished by the great array of base bowl options and toppings, so is your soul. The staff are so kind, it’s very clean, and there are plenty of vegan options along with gluten-free granola kept in a separate location if that’s something you need. I like that the bowls are a fixed price so you can go crazy with as many toppings as you want. No seating inside but there are tables on the sidewalk for you to sit (hopefully it’s a sunny day!). Go enjoy!!
It was busy so I sat at the bar. The bartender was warm, welcoming and engaging. I had a hot mint tea and the chicken Tawook with salad and hummus. A side of French fries that were fresh hand peeled and cut. Everything was gluten free and I had no reaction. I have Celiac so this is very important. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere was very nice!
Should be 6 stars for service! Interacting with the owners here has you feeling like family. Love the Pizza! You can get a delicious slice or the best neopolitan style Pizza in town! I don't like to compare this Pizza because I don't believe anyone makes it like these guys do. It's crunchy, heavy, light and filling all at once. You never feel like you ate a Pizza - you know that heavy gluten lethargy that kicks in after a good Pizza binge? Nope! Can't explain it! It's perfect!!! Jerusalem is our go to, reminds of being in the Middle East and their classic Margarita!! Bellisimo!
They really captured Authentic Flavors from Mexico all while being 100% Vegan and mostlyGluten Free. Everything was so delicious 😋 I follow them on Instagram so I was really excited to try them when I came to LA to visit. I was not disappointed! And honestly, the vibe of the place, the margaritas... it really made my meal much tastier! I love a good ambiance! And everything was so reminiscent of home and Mexico 🇲🇽 Can't wait to come back on my next visit! 🥰🦄🌮 Thanks ladies!!! 🙏🏼🥳✨
Good gluten-free options. The owner and the staff are great. Food is fresh, delicious, varied and authentic. The Rojak salad is something else! Crunchy and sweet. Love this place.
A glass of wine (or 2) with sandwich and slice hits the spot! The dudes who work here are pretty cool too. I usually get a cookie for the next morning’s coffee. Choc walnut goes excellent with coffee omg. The gluten feee and vegan options are good too. I’m going there twice a week currently. Lol
I came to Angelini Osteria three times already. This is my favorite restaurant. The staff members are professionals. They take care of you. The food quality is excellent. I have always eaten Italian food, as that is my heritage and grew up eating homemade pasta. This place has good quality pasta and pizza that gives you the option to add black truffles. The spritz’s is bomb as they do use Martini Rossi Fiero instead of Aperol. I loved the ambiance and the deserts are next level. The one I recommend is the gluten free chocolate cake… You’re not going to regret it. Thank you :)
