  **4.3/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Proper Pizza & Pasta Los Angeles: Solid Neighborhood Pie with Room to Dial In** Stopped by **Proper Pizza & Pasta** on Larchmont Blvd and found exactly what the name promises: a straightforward, no-fuss pizza joint with a big, breezy **patio** that’s perfect for LA evenings 🌳🍕. The space is simple and welcoming—exposed brick, wooden tables, string lights outside, and a casual counter setup. The **host was quick** and friendly, seating us right away on a busy weeknight, and service stayed efficient throughout. Ordered the **Brooklyn** (classic cheese) and the **hot honey** pie. Crust is the highlight: thin-yet-foldable New York style with nice char and chew from the oven. Toppings are generous, and the hot honey version brings that sweet-spicy drizzle that cuts through the richness—solid concept and fun to eat. That said, deductions come from the core elements. The **sauce** leans bland and under-seasoned—more generic tomato than bright, garlicky punch. **Cheese** coverage was uneven and didn’t quite hit that creamy, stretchy ideal; some bites felt skimpy or greasy rather than balanced. Overall **seasoning** needed a bolder hand—more salt, oregano, or basil to wake things up. It’s good pizza, but not memorable in a city full of heavy hitters. Proper is still an easy win for the neighborhood—great patio for groups, fair prices, and reliably hot pies when you want something simple without waiting an hour. I’d return for casual hangs or takeout, especially with friends on the patio. Just wish the sauce and cheese got the same love as the crust. Worth a try if you’re nearby.

  The buffalo chicken pizza was exceptionally delicious and had a perfect crispness. My order was prepared promptly, and the seating area provided a pleasant experience.

  Got delivery from here through a third party but had to come talk about how great the food was. I’m from the east coast, and the garlic knots are some of the best I’ve had in my entire life. The chicken alfredo was pretty typical, but was hot and fresh even after having it delivered a few miles up the road. If I’m ever in LA again, I will most definitely return.
