Best Cheap Pizza in Palms-Cheviot Hills
Master Critic Review
Joe's Pizza West LA
7.7
A strip-mall slice shop running the New York playbook — thin, foldable, no-frills — with enough late-night pull to keep a loyal Palms crowd circling back. The menu stays in its lane with classic pies, garlic knots, and cannoli, leaning on execution over ambition. Works best as a grab-and-go stop when you want a reliable slice without the production.

Cheese Slice, Garlic Knots, Pepperoni Pie

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No - this is a casual counter-service slice shop with a small, no-frills "hole in the wall" vibe. You order at the counter and grab a table if one's open. Great for a low-key post-date bite or casual hangout, but not the place for a romantic dinner with mood lighting and conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - this is a walk-in-only counter-service spot. Order your slice at the counter, grab a seat. The Palms location tends to be lower traffic than their Hollywood or WeHo shops, so finding a table is usually easy. No reservations needed or expected.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes - casual pizza-by-the-slice is about as kid-proof as it gets. Kids menu and high chairs are listed as available. The laid-back atmosphere means no one will bat an eye at noisy little ones. Quick service keeps impatient kids happy.
Is it good for groups? Manageable for small groups of 4-5, but this is a compact space with limited seating. No private rooms or large tables. For bigger groups (6+), you'll be splitting across multiple small tables. Better for grabbing slices together casually than a sit-down group dinner.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes - outdoor seating is available and dogs are welcome in the outdoor area. Located in a commercial plaza, so expect a modest patio setup rather than a sprawling terrace. Whether it's covered or heated is not confirmed - call ahead if weather is a concern.
