Wow, this place is the best pizza in Santa Monica! They serve up a unique and special style of pizza in the Los Angeles area. I would recommend trying their most popular style of pizzas, The Madison and The Garland. Customer service is a plus too. Try this place out if you're in need for something fresh and delicious.

The food was very, very nice. The veal was tender, and the sauce used was very tasty, not overpowering as some tend to be. Prices were very reasonable.

Truly enjoyed the atmosphere and the solitude.
The fresh juice was awesome and so was the crab cake Benedict with fresh fruit!
This is one of my favorite brunch spots. The garden seating is a little crowded but it's nice to people watch on Ocean Ave and you get a decent view of the pier and ocean.

Entertainment & Activities
The Bike Center Santa Monica
1555 2nd StThis has to be one of the best romantic getaways for a couple or even for a double date. An hour or two on the beautiful Marina with bottle of wine and an amazing gondolier. It's a perfect combination of relaxation, love, music, and serenity. It really doesn't get any better. You get to see the boats, the birds, and even a few seals or sea lions.
The booking was easy and the gondolier really knows his way around and the history of the Marina. He is a perfect host and gentleman.
The gondola is comfortable and the set up is perfect with some light snacks and chocolates to make it memorable.
