Just ordered delivery from Gjelina through Postmates and we're so happy we did. We ordered 2 Margherita Pizzas, 2 Spicy Pepperoni Pizzas and 2 Market side Caesar Salads. The lettuce was crisp and the toasted bread in the salad too. Gjelina's 15 miles away so we reheated the pizzas. The crust was sourdough like, crunchy and chewy. The sauce had the perfect amount of tanginess that complements the crust well. My mom is pretty picky about her pizza, but she said that this is the best pizza she's had in a long time. And for 4 people, the food was plenty. We have an entire box of pizza for a snack later. Parking is tricky here, especially if you're not from the area but the pizza is worth the drive! We're definitely coming back to try everything else on the menu.

Dammmmm!!!!! Pizza was amazing. Staff really cool. Not the fake wanna be cool ya usually find around here. . But genuinely Nice cool people. Pizza was perfect. Crust perfect. Definitely will be going back. Worth going out of your way for. I feel sad for the people who gave them any less than 5 stars. Must lead very unhappy lives. Pizza makes everyone happy. And amazing pizza can be life changing. They Make amazing pizza.

Classic pepperoni pizza from GTA, you can't go wrong! Service was quick, great place to grab a slice and enjoy it. Spicy Pepperoni tomato sauce, calabrian chiles, fontina

Gjelina's pizza never disappoints. Snagging a reservation at Gjelina's main restaurant can be difficult, but the GTA location right beside the restaurant is a great spot to get a slice of pizza while you're shopping on Abbot Kinney. I love grabbing a slice of a veggie pizza while I'm here, knowing that they load up on toppings. This one had a fantastic mix of crispy kale and pea shoots, topped with cheese. Even when reheated, this dough is a great mix of crispy with doughy textures from a brick oven to satisfy your craving for a solid thin slice pizza. Service is friendly and attentive. Seating and space is limited though, so I would be prepared to eat outside or have a quick bite indoors.

TLDR: Delicious but expensive. Grabbed a margarita pizza to go after a Pilates class. Seemed like a good combo. Short line but moved quickly. Staff was helpful in deciding between two types of pizza. Could wait inside on the stools or at the seats outside. The pizza was stellar. The crust got a little soggy after the drive home because of the heavy sauce but I didn't mind. Still delicious.

This is the best pizza slice I've ever eaten. The spicy pepperoni. So good I drove back a few days later to confirm my opinion.

Small space for takeout of upscale Italian. We started a food tour here. There's limited seating inside. We got to try a small variety of items. Sampled the gruyere pizza with carmelized onions as well as the escarole pizza. Both pizzas were tasty. I was expecting more flavor on the gruyere to be honest - it was satisfying, but I didn't feel like the flavors stood out. The escarole was my favorite. The greens were really bright with a bit of crunch, and really delicious and well-cooked mushrooms and other veggies. We got a butternut squash dish with a creme topping and that was really lovely. Brussel sprouts were also well-roasted. The restaurant has a swanky sit-down side, but the takeaway is great for getting a bite to go. Loved learning about the history of the restaurant, and how it's an anchor that helped kickstart the revitalization of the area.

A quick bite is exactly what I needed on a busy Saturday afternoon (when the wait time at the main Gjelina restaurant was 45 mins!), so I figured a slice of the veggie pie and a meatball sandwich would have to do. The pizza was delicious. Much better than I expected. The charred veggies really packed in so much flavor. The flat white coffee was also really good. I would skip the meatball sandwich though. Within seconds the bread was super soggy and the sauce/meatballs didn't stand out. Pro tip: if you can take your food to-go and eat it elsewhere it'll be a more pleasant experience than sitting at one of their two tiny wobbly tables.

Super cool spot on Abbot Kinney. We walked up to the counter and ordered an afternoon slice. I chose the Margherita pizza and added prosciutto. Took 5 min to get my slice. They have a larger menu besides pizza as well. Although I didn't try any, they had a wide selection of tasty drinks (think fun lemonades and coffees). I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!
