4 Best Pizza Restaurants near Altadena

“Pizzas there are good, not sure how it compares locally but for someone from Boston, this is good. Got the vodka, summer tomato (seasonal), and Sicilian. For 2 people it was a lot of pizza and it's good that they have a half and half option. I'd utilize it to get 2 different pizzas for the size of 1. Prices are pretty good for the quality of ingredients used. Ask for the pouches of cheese and pepper flakes. Just know their pepper flakes are actually spicy so their spicy pepperoni pizza is real spicy.“

“Always a great meal! I live the “Pasadena Salad”. Like the “Altadena Salad” but with grilled chicken. Not actually on the menu...YET.“

“Really enjoy the pizza here - I find it unique for the area. Not quite sure how to describe it but the sauce has a bit of sweetness, the cheese is gooey, and the dough is fluffy. It's almost a cross between pan and thin crust. Very different from the pizza Joe and family used to make, but I like both.“

“This is our local pub; we don't order wine (of which they have a nice selection), but they have a few European beers on tap that are quite good (including Guinness). They also have bottled beer if you prefer. This is a family owned pub (also "1881" on Washington/ Allen in East Pasadena), & you can usually catch owners Gail (sorry if I misspelled!) & Judah "Ben Hur." Actually he looks more like Mick Fleetwood and you can sit at the bar and have a chat with him if you want. I just like to say"Judah Ben-Hur" from the movie BEN HUR (1960?). Great service & vibe. Not fancy, just a great neighborhood pub to have a beer or two (I recommend several, if you have a designated driver). There is actually 3 areas you can drink- at the bar, a room for a few parties, and a secluded outdoor area for smokers in the back. It's quite cool & we feel at home there. If you live in Altadena/Pasadena on the west side (on Fair Oaks North of Woodbury) this is the bar for you. They also have pizza which is quite good. Judah is English, Gail from Chicago, and they have family that help out. It's a great little ace! Check it out! I'll be there tonight- look for the good looking older gent with the Roy Orbison glasses. He can be quite entertaining!“
