Vella Pizza

Best Pizza catering company ever! The staff is amazing. The catered our wedding party and WOW the whole party was impressed. Not only were they professional and the pizza was definitely made of the finest ingredients. But the thing that stood out beyond that was Joey and his team !! He even offered to help me move tables to make room for the dance floor!!! They looked out for us knowing how busy we were running around they made sure we ate. They helped every guest with a smile and truly stood out at our event. You don’t just get great pizza but you get an experience. They treat you like you are part of their family. Highly recommended you won’t go wrong.

Probably one of the best pizza’s I have ever had! My husband and I stopped at the Monkish brewery in torrance (Another must try). I’ve seen them there a few times but never tried any of their pizzas till last night. The pizzas are not greasy and the flavors are on point! As I left the brewery I told the two guys working that I really liked their pizza and one of the guys first response was «Great, Unilocal us then» in a snarky voice… It kinda threw me off, but I was like oh ok, yeah I will! His response… «Surrrre you will». I’m like is he challenging me to write a review? So Mr Pizza man, here I am writing a review for the great pizza I had… Like I said I would!

You will not find a better pizza or service!!! I already had a well known pizza catering co. lined up for our wedding party and thank goodness I found Vella Pizza and made the switch. Joe and his staff were super cool and professional. I will not hire any other company for our events recommend them 110% as you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Joe cant wait to see you all again soon.
Joey and Trish

Chef Joe and crew (Daniel) catered our party again this past weekend and they did not disappoint! Such a delicious pizza menu and everyone loved that they accepted credit/​debit cards as well as cash. They made our party planning so easy and we even cleaned them out of pizzas by the end of the night. That’s how good they are. Great Job guys!

Joseph’s pizza made such an impression on me that I literally dreamed about eating Vella Pizza! So I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to hire Vella to cater my son’s graduation party and I knew I would not be disappointed. Daniel and his staff served up the taste that I came to adore. Don’t worry about if there will be enough food for your guests. The pizzas just kept coming, and in an assortment of delicious flavors that delighted and impressed my guests. Everyone kept asking, «Where did you find him?» I can’t wait to do it all again! Vella Pizza is the best pizza I’ve ever tasted. Thanks Joseph. Vella Pizza — the taste dreams are made of.

Joe is the man. He and his staff came to a wedding I coordinated completely prepared, friendly, helpful and professional. Loved the fact that they bring unlimited pizza with the actual pizza oven so it’s hot, fresh and ready!

Exquisite crust, sauce, olive oil, and toppings, not to mention super friendly and helpful staff. I’m from New York, and generally speaking, the pizza in the LA area makes me incredibly homesick. Vella’s makes me miss it a little less, and that’s a beautiful thing.

Let me start by saying that Chef Boness and his team have top notch service. Always pleasant and always smiling. Always working hard and always performing at a top notch level. Ok, here’s to the pizza…
My wife and I first found Chef Boness and Vella Pizza while attending trivia night at King Harbor Brewing Company on a wednesday night. We were hooked upon first bite. The ingredients are so fresh and different every week. The hand-​crafted fresh dough has the perfect amount of stretch to it. There are always herbs and unexpected toppings. One week we get chorizo, the next it’s bacon. Always a variety of tasty cheeses and the most beautiful veggies. So fresh I wonder if Chef Boness is pulling them from his yard every morning.
This is one of those cases where I’m reluctant to share all this info with the world. I would like to bottle up Vella Pizza and keep its delicacy all to myself. But Chef Boness deserves all the notoriety and publicity that he can get. His pies are top notch, the absolute best I’ve ever had. And I’ve been an avid pizza eater for 30 years.
A pizza costs $ 12 and is worth every single dollar. They come out personal size. I say personal because Personally I could eat 2. But when the wife and I order 2, I eat 1 whole pie and a couple pieces of hers and feel perfectly full.
ps try the chili sauce, not spicy just delicious
pss If you check in to Vella Pizza you will be rewarded and thank me!

One of the best pizzas I have had!

Is it just me, or is their pizza amazing?
We had Vella while visiting King Harbor Brewery and were extremely happy with the freshly baked pizza. We ordered a Fantasy which is their choice of toppings and it didn’t disappoint. We ended up getting a second because one just wasn’t enough!

Mmmmmm, best pizza on the planet! My wife and I had their pizza at a farmers market and loved the unique and fresh ingredients. When it came to to choosing a caterer for our wedding reception we contacted Vella. Reasonably priced for the amazing food. Not only did they provide amazing pizza, but the desert and appitizers were the best I’ve ever had. Not only is their food amazing but their staff was professional and on top of it. Thank you Chef Boness!

Joseph and Jeremy catered an event for my daughters preschool. Both Joe and Jeremy were extremely courteous, helpful and the pizza was amazing! They allowed the children to create their own individual pizzas and assisted with the process. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
As for the parents, I think we enjoyed it much more. The customized oven is gorgeous and creates delicious masterpieces. We couldnt get enough of their Brie cheese and Truffle-​oil pizza (still salivating at the thought).
Joe and Jeremy were incredibly professional, generous and have definitely set the standards For quality of product and service. We plan on booking them for our daughters birthday :)

Joe and Jeremy set the bar so high. Tonight they brought their A game. Serving a variety of pizzas and a meatball sandwich they truly put their creativity into their food. They met my expectations and more with their food tonight.
You must follow them on twitter and try them ASAP. The food is always impeccably flavored and balanced.
Thank you Vella Pizza for such a treat.

I’ve had their pizza a few times at King Harbor Brewing Co in Redondo Beach. Great concept, good menu, and pretty tasty! The staff is very friendly (some more than others). I’m docking a star because although the edge crust is perfect, the rest of the pizza comes out soggy and so the pizza is limp when trying to eat it (not sure if that’s something they can control though). I wouldn’t mind if they knocked off a dollar and made it $ 10 too… seems a little pricey.

I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Bones at an event a few weeks ago. After a brief discussion away from the station, his slightly smug demeanor, blunt attitude, and overall level of confidence in his product left me salivating to try his pizza. When one is a true master at a craft, one must posses a level of confidence well above the average person because without this confidence, execution can be inconsistent. There was no inconsistency here. This pizza was phenomenal.
Chef Bones described his pizza as «simple» because as he said, «simple is best.» I couldn’t agree more.
His pizza transported me back to Pompeii outside of the ruins to a little café that served me one of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten.
The crust was more than just the crispy watery crust many west coasters drool over because it reminds them of New York crust. No, this crust was light yet flavorful, crispy yet pillowy soft, a perfect bed of starch to soak up the flavors of a perfectly cooked pizza. And if I may add, cooking a pizza perfectly is no easy feat. Underdone and you might be scooping your cheese out of the middle like soup, and if it’s over cooked your crust begins to burn as well as all of your delicate ingredients.
The sauce was delightful. Sauce in my opinion is the most difficult part to get right. If it’s too bitter you’re eating Dominos circa 1999, too sweet and you’re eating DiGiornos. This sauce was incredibly well balanced and NOT overly seasoned, a very common mistake of many «authentic» Italian restaurants — All aboard the garlic train! — No thank you!
Chef Bones makes his cheese from scratch and I’m pretty sure that even a six year old could discern the quality difference between his cheese from other pizzas. To me this was his signature on the pizza. It was so incredibly moist without being overly tangy, and so soft without being too stringy. People say they want to stretch their mozzarella apart and watch the stringy cheese look fresh. Why? I want cheese with all of that flavor that is melt in my mouth soft. This is what his hand made cheese did. The highest marks I can give.
Of all the pizzas I’ve had In the United States, nothing gives me more joy than to say this was in my top 3; nestled with the likes of a perfectly cooked pizza from Pizzeria Mozza and a fresh out of the oven slice of cheese from Ben’s in the south village of Manhattan.
Chef Bones it truly was a pleasure. Thank you for sharing your art, and I am counting the days until I take a trip down south to try to clean out your truck.
Keep up the stellar work and best of luck in all of your future endeavors.
Evviva!

Go and ask for the Fantasy Pizza, put your fate in Joe and Jeremy’s hand, and get a Pizza that will change your perspective for ever. Beware… you will never look at Pizza the same. I’ve had everything from Curried Lamb with sliced cloves of garlic to basil asparagus and who knows what. And it never disappoints. These guys are Masters of the Art. True Naples style. They’re like Shaolin Monks, but Italian, and with pizza! They are Masters… Hands Down!!!

If i could give Vella pizza a 6^th star, I would.
Chef Bones and his staff were top notch. Very friendly and happy to help guests with anything they wanted. You can tell they are proud of the product they serve and the business they run. And for good reason! It is divine pizza.
Every single thing that they made was better than the next. You could put a glass and nails on that dough, I would still eat it with a smile.
Now that I have gotten a taste, I’m gonna be following them for sure.

So I just tried this supppppper bombbb pizzzza omggg the most amazing pizza I have ever tried in my life!!! And they private events and weddings etc! So convenient since I have a birthday party coming up and was looking for something unique to be catered. They actually bring a woodfired oven on site and make the pizzas in it! Authentic italian/​Neapolitan pizza to the max!

I’m a pizza aficionado, a straight up pizza addict! I make it at home, I’ve had pizza from both sides of the US coasts and all over Europe.
That being said, I don’t give out 5 star to anyone that doesn’t deserve it. Vella Pizza is the BEST pizza in all of LA, yes I said it. What!!! Exactly, it’s the best!
The ingredients are fresh and hand selected each day to create the special toppings for every pizza. There’s always variety and Chef Joe and his brother Jeremy will accommodate anyone’s tastes and requests!
If it ain’t Vella Pizza, you ain’t eating pizza! ’nuff said!

If you appreciate high quality ingredients professionally prepared (and like pizza) this is it. Fresh, locally grown or produced ingredients combined by a real professional make this a can’t miss. Price-​wise they are very reasonable for this quality.
I’m another reviewer from Monkish and can highly recommend both!
