GTA (Gjelina Take Away)
The grab-and-go sibling of Venice's beloved Gjelina, serving pizzas, sandwiches, and California fare for the perfect night in.

When you’re craving the magic of Gjelina but the thought of getting dressed up and waiting for a table feels like too much work, GTA is your answer. Tucked right next door to its acclaimed sibling on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, this takeaway counter brings the same kitchen chops to a more casual, grab-and-go format that’s perfect for those cozy nights at home.
The menu here is a focused selection of Gjelina’s greatest hits, with pizzas and sandwiches taking center stage. The pork meatball sandwich has earned legendary status among regulars—it’s the kind of sandwich that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with any other takeout options. Each bite delivers that same attention to quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation that made the sit-down restaurant famous.
This is the spot for when you want something special without the whole restaurant production. Whether you’re planning a low-key date night on the couch or just treating yourself after a long day, GTA delivers that elevated comfort food experience. The Venice location means you can stroll Abbot Kinney, grab your order, and be home before the movie starts.
For anyone who appreciates great food but values their sweatpants time equally, GTA strikes that perfect balance. It’s proof that takeout doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality—sometimes the best dining experience is the one you enjoy in your own living room.
