Office Lunch in Venice
November 10, 2026 · Jay De Natale
Somebody at your office has the job. You know the one. There's a meeting at 12:30, and they're scrolling the same delivery apps trying to figure out what fifteen people will eat without complaining.
I want to make that job easy.
We're open for lunch, and whole pies go out the door for pickup or delivery. Our delivery focus is about 6 miles from the shop, which takes in Venice, Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, Playa Vista, Culver City, Mar Vista, El Segundo and the neighborhoods in between. Past that, we can still deliver in L.A. The full list is on the shop page.
Why pizza works for an office
Pizza is the one lunch where nobody has to read a menu out loud. You open the boxes, people grab, done. But it only works if the pizza holds up in the box for the ride over.
Ours was built for that. The dough ferments 48 hours. We go lighter on the cheese, the New Haven way, so the slice isn't soggy by the time it hits the conference room. Crispy underneath, bright tomato on top. It folds. No forks.
What I'd order for a team
Start with the plain mootz. It's the benchmark, and a 20 inch is $27.95. It's the pie everyone eats. Then give people a choice. A pepperoni with Ezzo cups for the crowd. A salad pizza, the Abbot's original, for whoever says they're being good today. A vegan New Haven, our Sunday sauce pie with no cheese, so nobody's left out.
Throw in a sloppy caesar for $16 and a few orders of garlic knots at $5 for five. Gluten free is a 12 inch pie, so if someone needs it, note it on the order.
That's a lunch people talk about after. Not because it's fancy. Because it's good.
How to order
For a normal team lunch, order online. Pickup or delivery.
For a big one, give us 24 hours. The button. Or call the shop at (310) 396-7334.
Who's making it
This corner has been a pizza shop since 1995. It was Abbot's for a long time. I took it over in December 2025 and rebuilt it from the dough up, with the same team that's been here through everything. More on that on the shop page, and on why we're pushing whole pies again in Building Back the Pie Business.
If your office is on the Westside and lunch keeps being the same sad salad, try us once. Tell the person with the job.
