“I’ve had to drive to Burbank frequently for work every so often over the last 2 years, and without fail, I always stop here for a pick me up!

Whether it’s a break to use the restroom and stretch while grabbing a delicious home style meal, or picking up some cookies or gelato before a long drive home. The team at Monte Carlo’s have the best attitude and never fail to brighten up any kind of day.

The perfect place for a comfort meal and good company.“

“What a classic spot. Giamela’s in Burbank is one of those true old-school institutions that’s been holding it down for decades. They’ve got another location in Sunland, but this was my first time hitting the Burbank one. A friend of mine’s been going for years and kept telling me I needed to check it out. I finally made it, and now I get why people swear by it.
The place is small and simple, no frills or fancy remodels, just that timeless, comfortable charm. You walk in, order at the counter, and instantly feel like you’re in a neighborhood joint that’s been around forever. They’ve got a short but strong menu, maybe ten sandwiches tops, hot and cold. That’s all they need. The parking lot’s small but manageable, and there’s outdoor seating with shade, plus some tables inside. It’s not modern, but it’s clean and real , the kind of spot where the focus is on the food, not the décor. Now for the sandwiches. The first time I went, I ordered their Pepper Steak, which is kind of their signature. That thing was fantastic. Juicy, loaded with flavor, perfectly cooked peppers and onions, and great bread that holds it all together. For about eighteen bucks, you’re getting a big, heavy sandwich that easily stretches into two meals. Flavor, portion, price, all top marks. The second time I went, I got creative and did a half-and-half: half Pepper Steak, half Pastrami. They charge a few bucks extra for that (about $4.50), which feels a little steep, but I get it, extra work, extra prep. Totally worth it though, because the Pastrami side blew me away. Honestly, I think it beats the Pepper Steak. Tender, smoky, and perfectly seasoned. Next time, I’m going full Pastrami, no hesitation.
If I’m scoring it: the Pepper Steak gets a 9.0, the Pastrami combo around 8.6 just because of that upcharge. But the flavor? Easy 9+. Both sandwiches are massive, satisfying, and packed with that old-school deli energy you can’t fake. Overall, Giamela’s is one of the best sandwich spots in L.A., period. Big portions, fair prices, friendly staff, easy parking, and zero pretension. It’s the kind of place that reminds you what a real sandwich should taste like. I’ll be back, probably sooner than I should.“

“Excellent pizza! We got a large Pepperoni Pizza our first time (cause if you can’t do that right, no thank you.) it was an EXCELLENT NY Style slice and I would for sure get it again as a Bostonian (we know Pizza).

I just wish they didn’t have a bunch of guys standing out on the ramp and waiting on the parking lot to get Uber Eats or DoorDash orders. They kind of act as an intimidating, unfriendly presence. If they could just not stand in the walkway up to the restaurant, I wouldn’t have to say this 🤣

8.4/10 Pepperoni Pizza, excited to try their other stuff!“

“Went to Urban press last night for the first time, I wasn't sure what to get because everything looks so good, I ended up getting the beef tenderloin which my server Justin insisted I should get, and wow he was right! Food was great! Justin was great! Atmosphere was great. 10/10“

“My boyfriend works at the batcade where central park pizza is and so i eat there a lot. I really like all the food i’ve tried but my favorite is by far the pizza and garlic knots. I’ve eaten here probably about once a week for the past year and the quality of the food has never slipped and is always good.“

“First time here yesterday and happy to keep coming back, had the hot pastrami sub and it was seriously good loved the mayo mustard combo with chopped tomato onion and pickles combined and layered generously over the whole sub Also had the Tonys special sub .. lots of fresh and tasty deli meats mortadella hams salamis and again the in-house mustard mayo combo .. awesome sandwich For a side I had the bow tie pasta which was cooked al dente with plenty of the marinated artichoke hearts and a great authentic Italian feel and flavour As this had now developed into leftovers for dinner given the size of it all I took us home a tiramisu for dessert later, and as with everything else well worth the eating Opened in 1979 and still going strong .. it’s easy to see why“

“great food, We ask for napkins she forgot, we never got refills they never ask“

“Pizza, salad & whatever else is on the menu, But now I can add 3 to 4 of our favorite - Ajarski’s!“
