“Finally used my coupon for an 11 inch fully loaded pizza. This location is very nice, super clean and a place to sit and enjoy your pizza. They have great menu options and fresh ingredients, pizza well cut and nice and warm right off the blazing fire oven. I stand firm on my review for the downtown location but this location is a win for service quality and taste.

“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.“

“Excellent deep dish style pizza.“

“5 rating Vegan Delicious Pizza!! Slices, full pies, caesar salad, garlic knots, all house-made ingredients. cashew-based cheese. loved it!! As of October 2022, opened for 8 mos.“

“Delicious from start to finish. We ordered the Caesar Salad, Burrata, Meatballs, Pork Belly, and tiramisu, and everything was excellent—well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The meatballs were especially memorable, and the tiramisu was the perfect way to end the meal. Add a little burrata to a bite of the meatballs for a perfect bite.
The wine selection complemented the food beautifully. They were also very accommodating when we needed to adjust our reservation time, which we appreciated.
Service struck the right balance—attentive without being overbearing. Claudia was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make the experience even better.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered and will definitely be back.“

“We have been meaning to try Hail Mary for awhile now and finally ordered online for pickup. The food was ready fast. It was delicious and packaged well for the ride home. The gentleman that greeted us made sure the order was complete prior to me leaving. We’ll be back!“

“Had a great meal. Definitely NY style Highly recommended when in LA“

“Last night, someone dropped off a bunch of pizza at the food pantry in Eagle Rock, which serves lots of people in the area. I managed to snag a couple of slices while making a dropoff and cleaning the community fridge. I wanted to first say THANK YOU, but perhaps more to the point, I am a pizza snob and even free pizza won't win me over if it's not good. This was shockingly great pizza. Simple, flavorful, the right amount of everything and reminds me of home (a large pizza loving city back east). So even though your generous deed wasn't wasn't intended as a promotion, I will absolutely be a new customer of your store. Thanks again! Delicious (even cold)! Please come back every friday night ;)“

“I first tried Pizzana when I was taken out for my 21st birthday a couple months ago. After realizing I couldn’t eat much anymore, a lot of alternatives made me nervous. But Pizzana’s vegan, gluten-free pizza was something I genuinely couldn’t stop thinking about.
Yesterday, I decided to order it online. I messed up my order and tried to fix it through Uber Eats, but the wrong one had already been sent out. Shortly after, Pizzana called me back and took care of everything with me. They were patient, kind, and incredibly compassionate.
When I showed up, my pizza was ready. The entire staff was overwhelmingly kind. The manager even apologized and thanked me for choosing Pizzana.
I’m being completely honest when I say I came home and cried. It’s rare to feel that cared for as a customer, especially when food can be such an emotional and stressful thing. The kindness, understanding, and quality of the food meant more to me than they probably realize. I’ll never forget this experience.
Thank you, Pizzana. 🤍🍕“

“I had a great time at De La Nonna - Arts District. The restaurant had a lively and welcoming atmosphere that made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable from the moment I arrived. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care, with each dish bringing something memorable to the table. The staff was friendly and attentive, helping create a smooth and comfortable dining experience. By the end of the meal, I felt completely satisfied and appreciated the warm energy of the place.“

“We were hungry after leaving a show, and randomly found this pizzeria. We walked in and were pleased to find a warm and cozy little place with some open tables. Ordered a Margherita Pizza with the addition of artichoke hearts and a Greek salad. Both were delicious, and we were impressed by the generous size of the salad, which was served in a beautiful wooden bowl.
Dominic was running the show by himself while the restaurant was experiencing a rush of to-go orders as well as some walk-ins. He was very friendly and helpful and provided us with a pleasant experience. This place is lucky to have this guy! We would definitely go back if we find ourselves in the area again.“

“pizza is delicious and wings are fantastic“

“Excellent Pizza, Great service definitely will come back....100% recommend!!!!!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“Skater owned amazing pizza“

“Awesome food, barteners, USC Sponsored, UFC Fight Nights.“

“We moved here from New York and we LOVE this pizza! It's taken 8 years to find good pizza in LA and we found it in Pasadena. The crust is out of this world and the ingredients are high quality. The sides, including the salad are not only delicious, but they're made with great care. My husband and I feel honored to be there customers.“

“I brought my team for lunch here and we had a blast with different types of pizza pies and sides. I’ve also come by at night and the whole area is activated with night market, bars etc. Also have taken pizza to go or by the slice. From the simple classic ones to inventive ones, with or without hot honey, Calabrian peppers… I’m coming back. I do like the zucchini popper. Just Wish they opened earlier for lunch.“

“I’m a New Yorker who worked for years in a pizzeria, I take my pizza seriously. Elio’s is real pizza! The ingredients, flavor, and variety are why I can’t visit LA without stopping to grab a pie.“

“Food was better than I expected!! We ordered tuna belly, sooo delicious😋 I was looking forward the Foccacia, it did not disappoint. The bread was so air and light. The pizza was exceptional. Their Italian beer was crisp. I will be definitely returning.“

“Ordered 1/2 spaghetti & 1/2 chicken ravioli with meatballs. It was very good and it warmed bread complimented it perfectly. My other half ordered the lasagna and said it was very good.“

“We were in town from Palm Springs for the day and went to Little Goat after finding it online. One of the best spur of the moment stops ever - we absolutely loved the pizza and the service was phenomenal, super sweet server. We ordered two pizzas - margarita and the chef’s special apple/walnut/kale/caramelized onion/goat cheese. They were both amazing! We eat a lot of pizza and definitely have a new top favorite. Outdoor seating has both stellar views and people watching; there is a cute patisserie down the street that’s an amazing desert stop for the perfect date night; we will definitely stop by next time we are in town! We will try the house made panna cotta next time. :) Highly recommend checking them out!“

“Very good delicious food very fresh for being two in the morning“

“This Shakey’s in Alhambra is one of the best they provide great customer service their food is always fresh they have big tvs to watch the games I enjoy going when dodger’s are playing because I get to enjoy a beer“

“I love the vibes and service here. The owner was welcoming and walked me through their options.
The pizza cook time was ideal; quicker than expected.
The overall experience was great.

Leftovers were clutch that evening.“

“Bball Team banquet held there“

“We love the ambience at gra. And I’m so happy to see more restaurants coming into the many vacant storefronts in this neighborhood. Gra has an incredible vibe. Wonderful service and unbelievably great music. We do wish for two things though. We love traditional full-bodied reds by the glass. They are hard to come by. We also love fresh vegetables, and as much as we love the fermented veggies we’d love to mix it up with more variety. Looking forward to becoming loyal, patrons and exploring this restaurant more.“

“Pizza and chicken were good but I don’t know what big deal about mojos is. I found them tasteless and disgusting.“

“Las pizzas más ricas que he probado. Mí esposo y yo vamos al local en Glendale y siempre salimos muy satisfechos. Con la amable atención del Sr. Juan Medina. Muy recomendado!“

“I wanted to take a moment to recognize the exceptional customer service provided by Miles during my recent visit. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was fresh and always made sure we had exactly what we needed. Miles took the time to explain each pizza as it came out during the lunch buffet, which added a personal touch to the experience. When I asked if he was the manager, he humbly mentioned that he wasn’t, which only further highlighted how dedicated he is to his role. It’s clear that he takes great pride in delivering excellent service. I hope the team sees this review because Miles truly deserves recognition for his outstanding work. I always enjoy visiting this location, and I’m looking forward to my next visit, hoping to see him there again!“

“Omg! The lemon pepper boneless wings are to die for! So delights they are addicting, yummy, great service and affordable“

“Amazing delicious food and love the ambiance. The servers were awesome!!“

“Excellent pizza!!! Finally found a replacement for Luigis, a well known Pizzaria in Highland Park in the 80'-90s. Every bite is enjoyable with every ingridient being represented especially the cheese and dough..My new go too, thank you for opening up here in Glendale. I can wait to try the other items on the menue. Also forgetting the pleasant customer service, and helpfulness, a forgotten trait..“

“Good Pizza . Decent beers.“

“OMG, I'm so happy this place is close to my house! It has the best vegan pizza I've ever tried. I love the variety of plant-based toppings they offer, and the cheese was delicious. I'm just sad that they're closed on Monday and Tuesday.“

“the food its just delicious.“

“Great food and drinks. Nice and clean restaurant with friendly staff and fast-service.

Con: Small parking lot and limited menu

Pros: Delicious food and drinks. The adult Arnold Palmer was the best, the chicken pesto pizza, the chicken buffalo bites are a must-try.“

“great all the way from az“

“The perfect pizza in LA DOES exist. I’m constantly impressed by the quality here, and trust me, I am the number one pizza snob. The traditional Sicilian square slice has perfectly caramelized edges and is still so airy inside. The focaccia base is insanely light and fresh, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients and put love in every pie. Honestly, everything I’ve tried here has been spectacular, no notes. It’s truly now a Los Feliz neighborhood classic. I also love that they have specials running, so definitely check out their Instagram. Jeff really has something special going on, and beyond the pizza, the customer service and staff are the best! So friendly, engaging, and genuinely warm. I love being a regular here haha. Forever a fan and excited for what’s to come. :)“

“Really nice pizza place. My wife has celiac so I was looking for gluten-free choices. She tried the sweet potato crust which was delicious. I also got the Philly cheesesteak which tasted really good. Super friendly people and we ate in the store and the food was delivered quickly!“

“The pizza is so good!! And they have great family specials 😃“

“been going to Rios for years best pizza in town 🥰🤗😁😎“
