Pasta Restaurants near San Bernardino, CA

“I dig this place. Have never had pizza exactly like that before. It is thinner than what you’re used to and not ooey gooey cheese but very tasty. Love trying all different styles with differing regional influences. Reminds me of a mixture of a less greasy (I like that it’s less greasy but yet flavorful without making me want to get on a treadmill) New York style and kind of borrowed from a more traditional Neopolitan from Naples (the birthplace of modern pizza). Thin, yet flavorful crust that’s somehow soft and crispy. Love the use of garlic and their pepperoni selection personally. Good selection on toppings in general. Sauce isn’t over the top, more simplistic. But really love that it’s not cheapened by a sugar to cheaply boost but has more of a savory to go with that garlic butter and dusting on the crust. Would love some more use of basil personally but still like. They also offer pesto or Alfredo sauce options and a BBQ chx specialty choice. If you get the pizza fresh out of the oven, the pizza somehow has a crunch as well but then replaced by the softness of the cheese. And once again, not overly cheesy. It doesn’t have to be. I questioned when I first saw it too, but it works. I’m a texture eater and it actually creates the crunch and soft in your mouth. I enjoy this dichotomy. I’ve tried to recreate it at home. But can’t. Haha Service has always been respectful and efficient. Place is always clean and bright. Honestly, I’m a coach and my whole team enjoys their pizza. If the Yotes are having a pizza and bowling party, this is where we’re getting the pizza. The ladies love the buffalo chicken, all-meat and a cheese with basil, mushrooms and onions (make your own) pizza.

And don’t really get the complaints about price. Order online on webwednesday and enter that code and you get half off a large pizza. Can’t beat that. Less than 10 bucks for a large tasty pizza?! I pretty much have pizza for dinner at least 2 Wednesdays/month. Or students get a free drink and garlic knots with a pizza order if they show ID. Look at the specials, my friends.

The 4 stars was bc I did get a pasta and I would like to see you develop it more. Wasn’t terrible, but I didn’t find the same consideration in that pasta that I found in the pizza. If you did a mushroom, bacon, roasted tomato (finish with basil always 😂) in a lighter garlic butter sauce with an angel hair, sounds delicious. Or even something similar with a creamy pesto and fettuccine, with an add chicken or sub tofu option for the vegetarians; finish with parm and roasted pine nuts 🤔) could be bomb. Just an idea. But overall, keep it up University Ave Pizza, keep growing. I like what you’re doing.“

“We decided to get this restaurant a try after reading google reviews. It doesn't look like much from the outside. It is located in a strip mall. Don't let that sway your decision to go in! The employees were so friendly and made our group feel like family. Everything was so fresh. The portions were large, and the cuisine was amazing. We will definitely be back!“

“I realized after ordering a 12” pizza from Bricks and Birch that it wouldn’t be enough to feed the 12 people arriving to the potluck I was preparing for. In panic and a blessing in disguise, I went to Made From Skratch in hopes to find another 12” pizza, and compare!

I was specifically on the hunt for a vegan pizza for my vegan friends. When I asked what the staff would recommend, immediately I was directed towards the Like the Vegan 12” pizza. The service was kind. For takeout I only waited 10 min when I arrived a little before 4 pm - not many people are there at this time.

When I first walked in, I was immediately struck by the little details: the menu was encased in covers emulating record covers. The bar area and seating all exuded a sense of vibrancy and a place to hang with friends especially to watch a sports game or catch up on life in a hip, cool setting.

The pizza was well eaten by my friends. I appreciated the thin crust and the freshly, made from scratch features of the pizza. It is also on the pricy side like Bricks and Birch; so I would specifically save this place for special celebratory occasions. Depending on what kind of pizza you’re looking for, I would recommend this place for those looking for heavier pizzas that is nicely accompanied with your soda / alcoholic drink of choice. Hip and cool. Grateful for the people who keep this place up!“

“Great tasty food, great prices, nice atmosphere, and fast friendly service.“

“Just celebrated our 30th anniversary there. It was the perfect choice. FANTASTIC food and service My husband got scallops, shrimp and salmon on angel hair pasta with a lobster cream sauce; I got pasta primavera in cream sauce with grilled chicken. Red wine, garlic rolls and a dark chocolate torte rounded out a great dinner. Highly recommend for any or no occasion. Five stars from me.“
