“best pizza by far, kinda dont like that its small and cant eat there because someone is already eating there. Mostly get it to go but their cashiers are always quick and attentive to my orders. The calzones are fire, the cookies too are bomb. Best pizza this and pasadena pizza co.“
“The food here is excellent. Staff is very friendly and kind. Felt a little rushed towards the end of the dinner. Probably because they are only opened for a few hours. Overall, I can't get over how delish this food is. Definitely a new favorite. I recommend the Foccacia Bread Board for an appetizer. The bread paired with honey, pears and mozzarella was divine. The Manicotti was so good and the chocolate cake with a glass of moscato was the perfect way to end the meal. 5 stars!“
“Nice spot on the south end of York to share beers and hang with friends! Plenty of seating indoors with a nice enclosed patio in back. Darts, board games, etc. seating for two or large parties. Pizza is solid with a good variety of in-house beers.?Parking: May have to look around for parking on weekends. Not too far away, though.“
“This little restaurant situated in the corner of a strip mall is an absolute revelation. It's an unbelievable addition to the area and a must try. We started by ordering a tray of their chipotle chicken fettuccine. It will ruin you for all other places that offer a version of chicken fettuccine. It's beyond good. The chipotle sauce is creamy and has a nice subtle kick. The chicken is grilled perfectly and yet stays moist. The pasta itself has the perfect bite to it. I can't say enough. It's that good. Next up we tried the Italian chopped salad. The salad had no business being that good. I hate salads and this salad converted me instantly. The greens were crispy and fresh and the dressing was to die for. This is one salad you will not regret ordering. We came back the next day and ordered the lasagna. This lasagna does not belong in a restaurant without Michelin stars. It was layer upon layer of cheesy awesomeness with a delicate marinara sauce in between. I can't wait for the day where you can taste pictures because this lasagna blew our mind. We are fat boys so we had to give the Meat Lovers pizza a try. There are no words. The dough has a perfect texture and the cheese melts so good. The toppings were generous and you had a bite of something meaty in every bite. Last, but not least, the bread. We tried the regular bread rolls but there was nothing regular about them. Absolutely fluffy pillows of goodness that were good by themselves or great with any of our pasta dishes. We also had the garlic bread which was maybe the only pedestrian thing about our meal. I prefer my garlic bread a bit more buttered but held up well to the sauces. Finally, the bruschetta. Crispy toast with the freshest tomatoes and dressing. A must have if you have the room. Don't sleep on this spot. It's worth the visit from literally anywhere.“
“The atmosphere is great, youre not going to be disappointed there. Service was fantastic, they work together as a team to clear and get food out quickly. The calamari and rigatoni were enjoyable. Though the mushroom pasta did leave more to be desired, we look forward to dining in again.“
“This place was amazing. We came it with a group of 10, and we got set up with a table right away. They got our orders quickly, and then appetizers and food came out just as quick. However, the food was probably the best Korean fried chicken I have had in a long time. The sauce flavors were delicious, chicken was crunchy. Definitely have to try Korean BBQ , Lemon Pepper (dry), and the Sweet Chili Wings. Even the Bulgogi Pizza was great. Great little hole in the wall spot. Will have to come backWheelchair accessibility: It's a dive in location off the strip of the downtown location. Entrance is level with sidewalk, so wheelchair can roll right it, and there are a couple tables that can be set up with wheelchair seating. I can not vouch for the restroom as I did not check.“
“This is one of my favorite pizza places now. The photo gallery in their website totally does the pizza justice. It is as good as it photographs! I never had Detroit-style pizza. I don't take part in the Great Pizza Debate with regional styles vying for Best Pizza Ever. Pizza is either good or it's average. The flavors and textures between cheese, crust and sauce are either balanced and each component delicious, or the magic just doesn't happen. Whenever I try thick, rectangular pizza slices I'm always disappointed in either sauce, cheese, or crust. I always hoped that pizza would taste like these slices. This pizza is the paradigm of what a thick square slice of pizza should be-- a sauce that is deliciously balanced between sweet, tangy, and savory-- the perfect intermediary between cheese and carbs. Speaking of carbs, a nice thick crust, just doughy enough to feel your teeth sink into, but with the edges perfectly carmelized to support the slice as it makes its way to your pizza pie-hole. The cheese was-- well, cheese, but cheese that goes all the way to the edge of the crust, caramelized to a deep golden brown against the pie pan. On this maiden visit, we tried both the Margherita and the Biggio. The Biggio is their version of a meat lover's pizza-- pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, and bacon. The ham and bacon, however, lent a smoky flavor -- almost too barbecue-ish -- for a non-bbq pizza. I know this is Detroit pizza but it was almost a little too un-Italian to us. The Margherita pizza, on the other hand, was crave-worthy. The cheese, sauce, and crust converged into a balance of flavor -- sweet, savory, and tangy, as well as texture -- doughy, crispy, the cheesy stretchiness, the caramelized edges.... I thought this slice was pizza, pure and simple, delicious in its simplicity. Even the tomato slices seemed to be cut the right thickness. I got ours to-go and tried calling ahead-- several times. No go, so I had to order when I got there. The pizzaria (suite #203) lives on the second floor of a two story mini-mall, overlooking the street-side dining lanes on Colorado. The parking lot is also on the second floor which is convenient, the entrance of which is on Mentor, just south of Colorado. Our order took 20 minutes to prepare-- well worth the wait. We also ordered a Caesar salad. Their Caesar was a mix of iceberg and romaine and was fine. Just know that their Caesar salads are tossed-- a dealbreaker for some if you're not into lifeless salads. Just remember this if you're ordering to-go and have to drive a ways before digging in. There is no soda fountain in the restaurant. Beverages are canned. After trying their pizza I appreciate this. I also liked how their menu is simple-- there are just two salads offered and most importantly their pizza, but really, their pizza is all you'll really need. Detroit or otherwise, it's just really good pizza.“
“Pizza was delicious! Especially the pesto mushroom one. We also had the KBBQ (award winning), which was good but I thought a little too sweet on the sauce. I expected more from the award-winning pizza. Maybe I had my hopes up too much though.“
“Grandma Tony is the best pizza anywhere. The oregano and bell peppers make that much of a difference. I really want to order a pasta dishes and try all the other pizzas, so I'm going to have to come back a few more times. Screw Flanders.“
“I’ve been a diehard loyalist to the Arts District Pizzanista, and it’s still so odd to me that they opened one in sleepy San Marino, but no complaints from me! The slices are the same taste and quality as their AD counterpart, and the vibe is as chill as the area that it’s in. It’s a must for a casual lunch if you’re in the area.“

“Shared a pizza and salad with a friend…the food was totally delicious! The venue is very cozy and friendly. The wait staff were extremely attentive.Parking: Arrived for an early lunch at 11am, and parking in the parking garage was plentiful. The elevator took us close to the restaurant.Validation is available for restaurant customers. With validation, I ended up not having to pay for parking, even after enjoying a leisurely lunch with my friend.“
“While looking for a nearby pizza spot, Alitalia Pizzeria came up on our Yelp search. Their Pizza By the Slice option was very appealing so my boyfriend and I decided to check it out. The location itself was on the small side. A bench and a few chairs for waiting but not a table to sit down to eat. Unfortunately when we got here they said the Pizza by the Slice option was only available until 4pm. That's fine but I wish they depicted it better on the menu. Had we known that wasn't an option in the evening, we would have called in our order instead of waiting around for a pizza to get made from scratch. I think we already had our stomachs set on the pepperoni so we decided to get their medium Pepperoni Pizza ($16.45). Then for the waiting that could have been avoided. It felt like forever. The one nice thing is they let you grab as much parmesan cheese and chili flakes as you want. The interesting thing is that their sign said they close at 8pm on Sundays but they closed up as soon as we left slightly after 7pm. In retrospect we were contemplating what else we should have gotten or even their half and half option. But not having the pizza by the slice thing and more labelling of such really threw me off. Anyways as to the pizza, my boyfriend thought the crust could have been thinner. I felt like it was oily. I was blotching the pizza like teenage oily acne skin. We both felt like we might be back for the pizza by the slice deal but we aren't in a hurry to try their full pizzas. The cost is high and the satisfaction isn't all the way there.“
“First time here and I have to say, it’s pretty darn good!!! The antipasto salad was loaded with meat and cheese. The garlic bread is very tasty. I had the Chicken Marsala….. It was very good! Everyone was very pleased with their food. Looking forward to trying the pizza next, it looked delicious!!Parking: They have a small parking lot but we had no trouble finding a spot.Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn’t love spaghetti, pasta and pizza??!! Bring them, they will love it!“
“I recently dined at Gale's, an Italian restaurant recommended by a friend. We made reservations for a party of 6 a week in advance, and the restaurant was accommodating and promptly seated us upon arrival. Our waiter served us bread with oil and vinegar as we perused the menu. We ordered a total of 13 items, and requested the dishes to be brought in courses, which the waiter happily obliged.For starters, we enjoyed the flavorful Mussels in white wine sauce, which paired perfectly with the bread. The Prosciutto and Melon provided a simple yet satisfying protein option, while the Carpaccio with goat cheese impressed us with its thinly sliced meat and complementary flavors. Moving on to the salad courses, the Roasted Beet Salad and Rustic Caesar Salad were both refreshing and well-balanced.The pasta dishes were a highlight of our meal. The Rotini Bolognese featured a rich Italian meat sauce, while the Pasta al Forno delighted us with its creamy meat sauce and cheese. The Portobello Ravioli, stuffed with crab and shrimp in a cream sauce with wild mushrooms, was a standout dish that left us wanting more.Each pasta dish was bursting with flavor and paired excellently with our wine selection. Overall, Gale's provided a delightful dining experience with delicious food and attentive service.Towards the conclusion of our meal, we indulged in the 13th and final course—a generously portioned pizza that satisfied our group of 6 adults. This delightful creamy white pizza, topped with mushrooms and olives, boasted a thin crust with toppings evenly distributed on every slice. Our experience at Gale's was undeniably exceptional. The waiter's precise timing between courses enhanced our enjoyment of each dish. An additional highlight was the reasonable $20 cooking fee, and the added touch of live music on Friday evenings.A standout feature for me was the presentation of fresh dishes and utensils with each course, elevating the dining experience.In summary, I enthusiastically recommend Gale's as a warm and inviting spot for genuine, home-cooked meals that evoke a sense of dining among loved ones.“
“My baby turned 1 year old and he absolutely adores pizza, so it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate this special milestone at a place that offers his favorite food. Not only do they serve a variety of delicious pizzas, but they also have salads, wings, and more on their menu. I personally went with the vegetable calzone and it was huge! I definitely had leftovers.The kids all loved their cheese pizza and kept going back for more. They have some indoor dining tables as well as do delivery. Huge parking lot which is shared with other businesses.“
“Got some wings, salad, and pizza from here (half and half). Me and my wife split a meat lovers and supreme and it was pretty damn good. The corners were nice and crispy, the salad was big and had alot of toppings, and the wings were fire. Definitely enough for a family of four but we just kept for leftovers. I would return if I was in the area.“
“Great little pizza place with fast lunch service. Pizza was good, price was right, and the store is clean. They accidentally overcharged me by $0.50, which they realized when they gave me my slices, and immediately offered a cash refund. No need since they deserved that as additional tip.“
“This restaurant is amazing! The food is cooked as if it came from a tiny restaurant with an Italian nonna in the kitchen. The ingredients are fresh and the meals generous in size. The pizzas are HUGE! The minestrone has big sized veggies whose freshness you can taste in every bite. Every dish can feed you at least once, and there are plenty of choices such as pasta carbonara, chicken piccata, sandwiches, empanadas, salads, etc. We have only used outdoor seating and it was pouring rain the last time we went. They had prepared for that with large canopies and even offered dessert on the house. Desserts are hard to choose as each delicacy is mouth-watering. Offerings include a variety of gelato, cheesecake, a pistachio-based pastry, tiramisu, chocolate cookies, and cherry tarts, to name a few. Parking is a little bit of a challenge if you arrive late. There is street parking and some paid parking. You may want to park on Colorado as parking is free after 6pm. If you are a MAD magazine fan, you'll get a kick out if visiting this hole-in-the-wall, awesome restaurant!Vegetarian options: Salads, soups, risotto or pasta dishes.“
“Super friendly employees. I had a big order for my husbands birthday and it was ready really quickly. We had a XL pepperoni and my family loved how fluffy the crust was and how cheese it was. We also had the potatoes and some wings. Potatoes weren't too crispy nor soggy. They were made perfect for little kids. The wings were crispy and had a lot of sauce so they weren't dry. Highly recommend this place.“
“Upon seeing the monstrous wood fired oven, you know you are in for a serious pizza. We had proscuito and calebrese on one pizza we ordered. Tremendous. Beautiful color, chew and char on a crust that proofs for 36 hours. Thin enough to fold, but sturdy enough to hold up the toppings. So much flavor comes through from the fire and smoke of the oven. You can tell the dude man who was running the front of the house has serious love for the place. Very sincere, very authentic. This is not a whatever pizza joint. Its one of those restaraunts that is more than the sum of its parts. This place has vision and heart and you see it, feel it and taste it.“
“Best pizza since I was a child. Moved out of town but can't help to make a pit stop every time I'm near! They sell pizza by the slice and their sandwiches are just as bomb. Thank you for still existing Scardino's you are a neighborhood staple ✊???“
“The only thing better than the kind vibes and happy attitude in this spot is the incredibly good pizza. Felt like a slice of home from every best pizza shop I went to growing up on the east coast. Great crust, tasty sauce, and top notch cheese blend.“
“I have gotten delivery twice now. The food was delicious both times. I got the wood works pizza, no ham. The crust was perfect, just the right amount of sauce, very generous with the toppings. My husband had tried the calzone, Greek salad (the large could be a side for 4 people) and the lasagna. The salad was very fresh and had plenty of toppings, calzone was one of the best he's ever had, and the lasagna was excellent ?. Highly recommend!“
“Met up with a friend who lives nearby and recommended this particular location. Staff was amazing and the food was always hot and well stocked. The manager on duty, Brenda, has a great staff and a clean store. If you’re in the area for the brunch/lunch special, I highly recommend this location!!“
“The pizza and fries are soo good! And service as well, we wandered in close to closing last night (had an event nearby) not knowing they closed at 8, but we still felt welcomed and the younger blonde guy at register did an excellent job. We had a Hawaiian type pizza with dried pineapple, which sounds weird but was SO good! And fries with their garlic sauce, I'd go back for those two items for sure. We also had a supreme pizza that was delicious as well. Also, tried their freshly made lime guava lemonade, we loved it. Wish we lived closer, would be there more often!“
“Just recently moved to Baldwin Park and was looking for a similar pizza joint to one where I used to live. I stumbled upon Golden Crust Pizza, and was very pleased with the quality of the Food. Also, the owner is very courteous, and always greets you with a smile. Highly recommend.“
“I love Pizza Cart! They've been there for about 20 years and I've been a customer all along. Pizza is delicious and their lasagna is out of this world. I usually order delivery but I noticed they have done some remodeling and it looks very nice.“
“Love them! Ok so i love love this pizza place, been purchasing for more than 4 years but i had noticed on the last couple of months that pizzas are lacking ingredients towards the back of the pizza slices! And my pizzas are often from the "specialty " pizzas and are not cheap so i think we as costumes should be getting what we pay for, dont you think guys!? Still loving the c.s. the delicious taste though don't get me wrong!“
“This place is great! My boyfriend and i drive 1 hr every other week just to come and have a good time here :)The music is also great and it isnt pricey like other places.The staff is always so friendly and attentive even when its super busyWe love it here ?“
“Pizza is delicious ? kinda thin with a thick fluffy crust. Service is good they just need someone to stand in the front at all times they get so busy everyone is putting in their fair share so it's understandable that sometimes you might have to wait a min or two to order a refill or something extra but they are always nice and friendly. As for atmosphere I liked it more when it was darker inside but that's just personal taste“
“Haven't been to this shakey's in a very long time since I was a little kid, I'm now older and have kids and I had the best time of my life enjoyed seeing my kids play here just as I did when I was younger, love the staff and service, food was good chicken especially. Thank you too Evelio who served us with great service and gratitude...Thank you shakey's for more fun memories“
Cocktail Bar •
“This place is very cool. Aside from the somewhat kitschy "secret" entrance (which was probably much more "in" 10 year ago), they really do create a unique cocktail experience. From the creative menus, perfectly balanced drinks, glass where, and presentation--they really have it dialed in. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. And even the food menu, despite being somewhat limited, left us very happy. Definitely not a weekly hangout, but worth discovering for yourself.“
“The pizza is amazing. Salads are OK. The wait staff is young... and often more interested in socializing with each other than taking care of customers. On my last visit our waiter forgot a number of things. Including to put our order in with the kitchen. We ended up being there for almost two hours. And no one apologized.“
“Very good food. I had the eggplant Parmesan, and it did not disappoint. It was very good and I would order it again. The side salad was excellent; very tasty and flavorful. The garlic cheese bread was excellent, fresh and warm. My buddy had the meatball spaghetti and he said it was very good. I ordered medium cheese pizza to take home; fresh and delicious. Also, the size was more like an extra large and a medium. And dessert was very good, I got the ice cream. The average plate is about $20 but it’s worth it. I would definitely go back for another meal.Parking: Free parking, but not a lot of parking spaces.“
“RCP FTW! Brian is the most down to earth pizza shop owner you will meet. His crew's creation for different pizzas are limitless. Stay for the pie while you browse around at their artwork on the walls from local artists.Parking: Lots of parking“
“I ordered the pepperoni pizza “well done” via the toast app and it was perfection. Crisp, Clean (not greasy) and Tangy. Definitely the Best Pizza in the unincorporated neighborhood of Alta Dena. I was able to park on “little” New York Dr (the residential parallel street that doesn’t have a separate name) and walk across Minoru to pick up my pizza. Check your text messages because the pizza can be ready much sooner than the time listed on the Toast app or the email from Toast.Parking: park on “little” New York Dr and walk across Minoru“
“New owners and a new recipe.I Had to give this place a try as I saw on tiktok and man was I not dissapointed. The pizza crust was good and so was there sauce. I was told by the owner that the sauce was a recipe created by them so I ate my pizza for the first time nice and slow to savor it. I highly recommend this place and I also ordered the wings which were ? Fire! Definitely coming back and if you double thinking don't! Go support this mom and pop shop.“
“Gluten-free folks...go, run, get yourself an awesome pizza! My husband and I each got a pizza and we were both impressed with quality of crust and quantity of toppings. We will definitely order from them again while in L.A.!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free crust available“
“Great customer service the manager Manny stop by our table to make sure we were doing good. He notice we were celebrating my daughter's bday and he brought a brownie sundae for her thank you again we will definitely come back because he made us few welcome and just by giving that ice cream to my daughter he now has a loyal customer.“
“Came in on Saturday for a quick and simple bday dinner. Turns out our server Kaitlynn made it exceptional with her professional and friendly service!! It was a pretty busy Saturday around 9:40pm and the majority of the restaurant were seated with customers. Kaitlynn still went to all her tables and greet/check on all her customers. She came over apologizing for such a wait and got our orders. We ordered our usual, Avacado Egg Roll, Couscous Mac and Cheese Balls, Prime Rib, Clam Chowder, Strawberry Dream and etc. As soon as we finished ordering, our soup and drink had already arrived. I never experienced such speedy service at any other BJ's before. However, as we were finishing our soup, our Prime Rib dinner came before our appertizer (which was confusing but we were hungry and didn't care anyways!) Later, as we were finishing our Prime Rib, our appertizer came at the same time Kaitlynn came and checked on us. She noticed that our steak came before the appertizer and apologized for the service but we understand that it wasn't her fault anyways. It wasn't a big deal to us anyways as long as we get the foods we ordered. Later we got the famous pizookies and we got both the salted caramel and chocolate chunk. They were both amazing. Kaitlynn lighted a cute candle as she wishes me a happy birthday! At the end, she also wrote a happy birtdhay on my receipt!!I can't express how Kaitlynn made my day so much better with her cute, friendly and professional service!! She is one of the best server I had experienced at any BJ restaurant!! She pays attention to her guests and noticed all the little details! I rather drive a bit longer to have such an amazing experience than to save on commute time!! Again, thank you Kaitlynn for such an amazing experience!!Parking: Plenty of parking available“
“Blaze pizza is the best, you can customize your pizza with all the toppings and sauce you like. The staff here are super friendly too! They work really hard to speed up the assembly line, especially on a busy day like pi day! They have a good attitude and pizza tastes great. Will be back to this location!“
“My husband was staying at usc hospital and me and my son would pass by everyday to go to our hotel and one day we stopped and ate an early dinner. The service was exceptional and everyone was really nice and attentive. The Mac and cheese bites were my favorite appetizer!! So good. The pizza I had was really good and my son said his pasta was good. The older gentleman with the accent was really sweet. Under the circumstances that we found this place wasn’t great, but glad we could sit and enjoy a great meal at a great place and people. Thank you!“
“The food here is great- spinach ravioli with pink sauce, a side salad, and garlic bread hit the spot for real, served by people who really care, and enjoy the food as much as you do. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much. The environment is lovely and it's small, but warm, which is often times hard to do. Finding good Italian that is high quality and not too expensive is a feat, but Genoveses does the job.“
“I have been a customer of Follieros since it was a smaller establishment down the street. (Like since 1975?) Some of it may be nostalgia for me, but I love everything about this place. The pizza has just the right texture and a tiny hint of sweetness to the dough. Sauce is amazing and love thier pepperoni and great mozzarella cheese. My hubby always gets lasagna and it is also awesome. Can't beat the prices, too. Lasagna is only $10.50 WHAT? We eat here for two of us around $30 including the tip... and it's quality food. If I lived closer, I'd eat here every day. Maybe its a good thing for me, I don't live closer, so I dont gain too much weight...??lol... oh and by the way if you go, order a Strawberry..(soda) a tradition and I can't eat here without it.Parking: This area has a lot in the back, but it seems like it's usually full. Sometimes have to circle to find a street parking.“
“Chicago Style Deep Dish is definitely one of the best pizzas I've had and they are always on time with their orders. If you're willing to wait a bit till you get your pizza it's definitely worth it. Specifically the Griffin is amazing and the Main if you're looking for something with traditional toppings. Service is always nice and have no problems with them whatsoever. It's a cool touch considering that in the morning it's a bakery and later in the evening it turns into a pizza place. I would definitely recommend coming here.“
“I loved this little Italian spot in Old Town! My friend and I walked in on a busy Saturday night but were able to find a spot at the little bar. It's not a huge place but they've got indoor and outdoor seating. The woman working at the bar was super friendly and gave good recommendations on their foods and drinks. Everything on their menu sounded tasty so I'd definitely be down to go back and try more! If you're looking for a good spot for Italian I'd recommend this place.“
Tacos • $
“The tacos with queso and nachos were the best. The vampiros and the mulitas were okay. I like that they serve "La Dichosa" with a large cup of consome and 3 different salsas as seen in the picture. The service was really good and I love the little decorations they have. I will definitely be coming back. They also have free coffee“
“This is one of our usual Italian places for takeout since they no longer have dine in. We had a take out order for hot chicken parmesan sandwich, added the extra cheese and veggies like onions, mushrooms and green peppers, (but they forgot to add that in; hence the -1) like they have for their hoagies. And also ordered the side quart salad with extra dressing on the side. This place is always consistent with their flavors and always fresh. This was perfect for two people to share. And we added a can of Dr. Pepper. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you like condiments, you have to ask for it. I always ask for red pepper flakes, plates, forks, and napkins. They pack it nicely in a box always. The wait time is usually about 15-20 mins depending on the amount of orders they get. Usually, by the time I place the order and drive out, it's ready for me. They have a small parking lot in the back and side street parking on Coolidge Ave off Washington Blvd. Enjoy!!“
“Very nice service really good taste of this pizza, good preparations, they come out exactly the way you ordered very yummy I love this place and I fully recommend Pronto pizza ? mmmm!?Kid-friendliness: They are very friendly with my kid when we go there for pizza ?“
“This is the second time that I have eaten here and on my second visit I was blown away. After going to RT Rodgers Breweries 6th Anniversary I came in for a slice of pizza. Last time I had their NY style pepperoni but I was happy to see a whole Detroit style pepperoni which I had to order and order I did. I ate it there and happily waited for about 10 minutes as they heat up my slice. When my slice was ready it looked delicious. Lifting my slice up to my mouth I bit into it. The crust was airy, the rim was crispy and the pepperoni was great and not greasy. The sauce on top was over ther top and had a subtle tomato sweetness that complained the whole slice. The next time I come here I will definitely be ordering a whole Detroit pepperoni.“
