Santa Monica Joe’s was great when they opened but that was close to 20 years ago

actually, I forgot about Prime…they seemed to go a bit down hill after a while but probably worth checking out…their Grandma slices were the best…and they’re about to open on SM Blvd just west of Bundy in WLA

I’m likely going to be in DTLA so deciding between Prime and Superfine. I think the limited hours at Superfine will push me towards the grandma slices at Prime. Haven’t been to Superfine since the summer after a lot of conflicting posts about the quality.
Somebody recently posted a picture of a grandma pie from Prime that looked outstanding.

I think Superfine opens at 5pm…but barring any unexpected, random problems, ya can’t go wrong with Prime’s Grandma!

There are recent reviews of Apollonia’s square slices on Yelp. Are they really not currently making them or by “off-menu” do you mean they’re available only for in-person ordering on Fridays and after 4 on weekends?

I walked in and picked up some square slices at 1pm on a Wednesday or thursday a few weeks ago.
I think they used to be less readily advertised but now it’s at the top of their order page.

That’s good to know!
My info may be out of date, but in the past, at least for square slices, it was a Friday after 5:00 and weekend thing. And they were frequently out.
For me it’s by far their best thing so selfishly wish I could get it all the time.

Huh. The menu on their web site is out of date.
Ah yeah that menu has been like that forever.
I clicked through to the order online portal and saw the square pies available. I think that order online option is relatively new?!
I tend to just show up at Apollonia when I’m craving it rather than order ahead

When I showed up at Apollonia they were unexpectedly closed so not going out of my way to do that again.

With the caveat that I haven’t been in a few months, that was basically my main complaint.
Best thing on the menu was really hard to get.

Lol I was literally walking in Westwood Village as I read this. Even funnier, I was walking right PAST Prince of Venice on my way to Lamonica’s to get my slice fix…

Prime on Santa Monica Blvd in West LA opened today.
Open from 5-10pm. No lunch yet.
The pepperoni slice was tiny. Much smaller than the cheese slice.
Pepperoni was a floppy super grease-fest. But the cheese slice was better.
Ok, I’ll chalk up this experience to growing pains.it was still better than 90% of the pizza places in LA.

Kind of sad that that’s still better than most. I was thinking of this tonight but might give it 1-2 wks for them to work out the kinks.

I notice the greasiness on reheated slices more so than on whole pies.
So maybe right now, I would feel better ordering a whole pie than going for a slice reheat.

What the heck with those slices? Those look horrid.

The pepperoni slice looked like it had been from one of their large pizzas cut into 12 slices. My wife, who had never had Prime, looked at it and couldn’t understand how the worker putting it in the box couldn’t see the embarrassing size considering it was laying right on top of the cheese slice (no paper even separating the slices.)
It really was awful. It was so soggy with grease.
The cheese slice was better.
Sounds like they need to do some training sorry to hear about that. I’ve always enjoyed the pizza at the fairfax location.
