About Lazeez Mediterranean Grill & Bakery
The Full Story
Lazeez Grill & Bakery is a family-owned Mediterranean and Levantine restaurant specializing in authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. The business traces its roots back to the original Lazeez Pita Grill in Torrance, where it served the South Bay community for more than 10 years before relocating to Harbor City. Before their Torrance location, Mohammed and his wife Nedaa opened another best ranked Mediterranean restaurant in the Valley named Jerusalem Pita Grill. The current Harbor City location has long since expanded the concept by adding an in-house bakery featuring freshly baked Levantine breads, pastries, and thin crust-style pizza known as Manakish.
