Some of the best pizza, salad, and pasta in LA are located in a small, family-owned pizzeria in the heart of historic Palms, CA right by the 10/405 interchange off National. Mama’s Original Pizza is located on 3311 Motor Ave. Not only has this historic venue been crancking out pizzas for years, but the building itself used to be an old fire house. In fact, some of the classic Laurel and Hardy episodes were shot there. The decor is vintage and beautiful, featuring old Coke signs and stained glass windows.

Mama even whips up some daily specials! The salads are all massive and frankly taste quite unique compared to most of the fodder you’ll find around LA. If you live in Palms or the nothern part of Culver City, Mama even delivers! I recommend two pizzas: the Godfather and the classic Marguerita. I also love the Chicken Capri pasta dish!
