Lido Pizza in Van Nuys is a straightforward, old-school Italian restaurant that feels like a step back in time. Walking into this spot is like entering a neighborhood staple where nostalgia permeates the space — the decor leans on decades-old charm rather than modern polish, which adds a cozy, lived-in vibe. It’s the kind of place locals rely on for solid, familiar Italian food without any fuss.

The atmosphere is quiet and intimate, with dim lighting creating a private feel ideal for small groups or casual family dinners. The service tends to be friendly and attentive, reinforcing that community restaurant aura. It doesn’t put on airs but is consistent in delivering well-prepared dishes that keep people coming back.

Their pizza is a clear highlight, especially the classic square-cut pies that have a noticeably crisp crust combined with a tender inside. Toppings run the gamut, from simple cheese and mushroom combinations to more loaded options like the Super Deluxe or the ChiChi’s Choice with sausage, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Beyond pizza, there’s a range of traditional Italian entrees and starters like eggplant parmesan, meat and cheese ravioli, and pasta with clam sauce. Salads and sandwiches also round out the menu, catering to those who want a lighter or different option.

Regulars seem to appreciate how the food actually tastes better the next day, making it a spot where picking up pies for several days over the weekend is a familiar routine. Whether you're a pizza purist or someone who likes their Italian casual and no-nonsense, this is a reliable choice in the Valley.

Best visits tend to be evenings or weekend dinners when the place has a relaxed but steady flow of neighborhood diners. It’s not a loud, bustling scene but one that feels anchored in its local community. Lido Pizza suits folks who want a break from contemporary, trendy spots — instead, here you get comfort, consistency, and a bit of old-school Italian-American dining charm.

Amazing old school pizza place with fantastic pizza, pasta and salads. My friends from NY who are pizza snobs turned me onto Lido. It definitely is quality food. Best part is its better the next day. I get pie and have ot Friday, Saturday and if there is any left on Sunday as well.

This is a very old school pizza /Italian restaurant. They have been in business a very long time, so you know their formula works. Walking I to the place makes you feel like you've stepped back in time at least 40 years. I say that mostly in a good way, though they could really use a fresh coat of paint overhead among a couple.other small gripes. The food however certainly more than makes up for it. The entrés are delicious and the pizza may be my favorite in the valley. I intentionally order a size bigger than I can eat because I love the leftovers so much.

Lido Pizza is one of those classic staples of the valley that, thankfully, doesn't seem like it has fallen off. They are a cozy restaurant with low lighting to give a private feel while your party dines. The staff as always been attentive and a delight as well. On the whole it's the usual Italian restaurant. No frills just good solid food. Their pizza is always superb and their starters that I have tried have all been delicious. I dont feel there is more to add. Lido is a solid italian restaurant.

Lido Pizza in Van Nuys is hands-down one of the best pizza spots around. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Their signature square pizzas are perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with toppings, exactly the way good pizza should be. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the place has that classic, old-school charm that makes you want to come back. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, the quality never disappoints.

I've been coming to Lido's for over 20 years and no matter the decade, the food and service has always been superb! The pizza is my personal go to, and the rolls are amazing! I'm not a salad guy, but those who go with me love them as well! Strongly recommend this place!

I've been going to Lido Pizza for almost 40 years and I've never been disappointed. I didn't know what they do but the cheese on their pizza is out of this world! Pair that with a fresh pitcher of Bud & you've got the best meal in the SF Valley. Something about the Bud too, maybe because they're located so close to the Budweiser plant, the beer is extra good there too. So enjoy guys!
