About a month ago J and I went for a wine tasting event at Off The Wine here in Pedro. The wines were Croatian and they also had some delicious chevapchichi (Croatian kuftahs or meatballs) and bread on hand as appetizers. Both the chevapchichi and the bread were out of this world delicious.
We decided that we had to go and check the place where this delicious food came from. The actual place is a whole in the wall and the only available sitting is outside. Let me tell you, this is the best hole in the wall in San Pedro for both food and hospitality. The owner Danny is very friendly and he is the person who will take your order and bring it to you if you are sitting outside. He and his wife work very hard everyday and the results are fantastic.
The menu above is what they have so far. The first time we went there we ordered the Croatian Pizza and cabbage roles which were both delicious. The pizza dough is by far the best I have had since moving here to the US. It is thin and crispy just like in Italy.
We just went there a couple of days ago for lunch and we both ordered the Plyeskavitza, which is a patty served in the homemade brick over bread with peppers, tomatoes, lettuce and garlic sauce. OH MY GOD! SOOOOOOO GOOOD! The coolest thing is that Danny actually made it for us while we waited.
Pavich’s Brick Oven Pizzeria is a must have. I officially declair it to have the best Pizza in Los Angeles. And lucky for us it is walking distance from us!

Food looks great, is the owner Croatian?
I could be interesting to taste if the food actually taste like here in Croatia?

Hello and thank you for stopping by. Yes, the owner is Croatian!
Man!!!
I completely agree with all you wrote here. SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!! The food is amazing, evertyhing I’ve tried! And the pizza is surely the best in LA. My favorite though are chevapchichi as that is something quite authentic!! Oh, not to forget somun, (the pita-like bread in which chevapchichi are served) is just fantastic! I could eat just that by itself and be thrilled. Thank you Pavich!!!
Thanks for stopping by John. Pavich’s rocks! That bread is amazing isn’t? They use the same ones for the burgers, as seen above in the picture! Absolutely divine! Or could have it warm with some butter YUM!!!
The pizza here is amazing! It tastes just like the Pizzas of Croatia’s beautuful Dalmatian coast. Even the local San Pedro Italians are raving about Pavich’s Pizza. You have to try the Cevapcici or Pljesvakica Burger, Zdenko uses actual Lepinja bread (also known as Somun) that him and his wife Mirela make! Check it out! You will love it.
greatest Pizza EVER. I would eat it everyday if I could!
My Croatian buddies told me to check this place out and it is amazing! I had the Croatian Burger !!!! Wowwwww
