If more business were run like Purgatory Pizza, the world would be a better place. They are mindful above all of providing the customer a quality experience. Their ingredients are high quality and the recipes are creative. Everyone behind the counter always seems like they're in a great mood. I like cauliflower on my pie and I don't care who knows it.

Super happy to find a place with vegan options, unfortunately the pizza was under salted or under seasoned. There are also no prices listed, spent $49.99 for a Detroit style pizza. Seemed pretty high for a medium sized pizza. Just wish I had a heads up when I looked at reviews beforehand. The staff also cleaned the table next to us with bleach before our pizza even arrived an hour before closing.

UPDATED!
I want to thank management and the PP team for doing right by their customers. I honestly appreciate that most of all and it's what will keep me a customer for as long as the calzones stay amazing, no matter the cost. (pls see before and after pics)
I've been a Purgatory customer for over 10 yrs because I love the calzones, even though they are sometimes inconsistent in size. Today's calzone, however, left me beyond disappointed as it was more like a hot pocket! I don't know if my order was understood or not, the guy taking orders was somewhat rude and didn't give me a receipt. I ordered and really wanted extra pepperoni, mushrooms and pineapple....please see the following photo for what I actually got. I'm sorta sad because the price of the calzones has gone up so significantly from the time I first discovered them, and I happily pay no matter what if only I got what I ordered.

Very sweet and friendly girl at the counter, the pizza was very forgettable, not so freshly made. Unflrtunately, I don't think I'd go back.

Great pizzeria, I’ve been coming here more than once and I’m always satisfied. The atmosphere is very pleasant — cozy and comfortable. I’d especially like to mention the cashier Elizabeth: she’s very kind, helpful, and genuinely pleasant to talk to. The pizza is the best in the area — really delicious. Highly recommend it to everyone 👍

I love this place. Changing my 5 star to 1 star, because I was pushed out... I came here to relax and calm down and meet friends, order some pizza and have a good time. I figured I could be happy here. I sat in the car for a moment. Was getting ready to get out. A guy approached me and told me to leave. The guy that was telling me to go was raza too. I've been here so many times, so many good memories from going after we throw an event at Self Help. I'm used to parking here as it has never ever been a problem. I just had to take a breather and take a quick dr call. It was real quick less then 5 min. I guess I didn't look like a person that should park there? This guy told me that I have to leave and not occupy the parking lot. I then took a personal call. He said I can't be here waiting unless I order, I must take my call inside, even if it's personal. My wait was less than 5 minutes. He said I can't be here. I told him I was there to buy pizza. I truly was. I was also waiting for friends. He didn't believe me. I've been a customer before many times. I recently dyed my hair brown from blonde, idk if that changed anything... It was such a stressful interaction. He tried to act like he didn't push me out when I went into the restaurant. Get off my call and buy. I've never ever ever had that happen there. I am sure if I looked different he wouldn't talk down to me like that. Why be in East LA if you don't like East LA people. Basically told me hurry up and buy. We ended up just driving down the street and going to try the Pinks. Guess it ended up ok.

Delish Thin Crust Pizza w fluffy cheese and fruity beer. Loved every flavor. 👍🏼 (has coconut water always costed more than beer?) they even have gluten free pizza
Went again to update my review. Turns out they had a new guy doing the calzones. Fair enough. They provided another. It was much better. Crispy, buttery, cheesy as it should be, and delicious! So I update my review to 5 stars. Thank you for the yummy food.

Their BBQ Chicken house pizza is highly delicious!!! My whole family loves every slice of pizza filled with organic chicken, pineapples, and red onion. Their BBQ sauce is also highly tasty, much better than the other pizza brand we tried. I don't know how they create such a wonderful sauce.
