Great pizza! They also have pastrami pizza, my favorite. Pizza combos are also available with choice of wings or BBQ pork rib ends. Service is quick, place is clean. Their BBQ pork rib ends are moist and delicious! I drove from Gardena just for this pizza!

This place deserves 4.5 stars but since I can't choose that rating, had to lean towards the 4. This place I always see when I take my dog for a run and I always wondered if the pizza was good. I am so happy I decided to order for pickup as I was pleasantly surprised with the service, quality of ingredients, and of course the taste. It's a small little spot in the cut but I now know why they have been in business for a few years now. I got the works pizza and forgot to take a picture of the salad I also purchased but I'll be back soon enough to try more options on their menu

Couldn't stop thinking about this pizza after the first time I had it. My bf ordered it, two types of pizza I would never think of getting, Hawaiian buffalo chicken and pastrami, but they are both my new favorite. Every time I eat it I try and figure out how it could be so good, there really isn't anything that could make it better. Since the first time trying it last month we have been back a few times, and it never disappoints and to top it off the people who work there are so nice and you can tell take pride in what they do. I highly recommend trying it, and make sure you get enough to have leftovers because it is that good.

Small to go in n out spot. They offer cake and some desserts to purchase along with their food menu. Staff was courteous and attentive. Solid place w/ generous toppings. New go to. Trying mustard and pickles on a pizza was innovative. Try their specials.

Great pizza! Way better than little ceasers lol

Always great pizza. Can't beat $12.99 for a large 1 topping! I've been coming here for over 10 years. Consistently bomb

Pastrami Pizza

I have ordered the pastrami pizza from here about 3 or 4 times in the past year. We love it, we usually add extra pastrami but everything goes together so well. The mustard and pickles are a great addition. The crust is airy and crisp. We usually call the order in and the staff is always nice.

I have been here a few times before. Today I bought a large pizza . I got 2 toppings and they were applied generously. Ask for a pick up special and save $$. The pizza was freshly baked for me and piping hot. I added a sprinkle of the crushed red peppers and it was perfect.

This unrated pizza joint in Bellflower is a hidden gem. I ordered a cheese pizza with pepperoni and was pleasantly surprised by its taste and quality. The cheese was gooey and crust was the right amount of dough. They also have a pick-up special for a one topping pie for $12. The guy working there was super friendly and nice.

I tried this restaurant once many years ago but couldn't remember why I never came back. Today, we…read morewere craving pizza by the slice, and our usual spot was closed, so I decided to give them another try. We ordered four slices of pizza. Each slice is $3.75, or you can get two slices for $7.50 plus tax, so there's really no discount. I paid cash and noticed I was charged $7.99 for two slices instead of the advertised $7.50. I pointed it out to the man who took my order, but he insisted I wasn't overcharged. I even showed him the menu and the payment screen, where you could clearly see the discrepancy (see photos), but he was dismissive and said the register never makes mistakes. I had a long day at work and wasn't about to argue over less than a dollar. Still, it's the principle. Charging customers more than the posted price and refusing to acknowledge it is not okay. It made my experience very disappointing. As for the food, we ordered two pepperoni slices, one pepperoni and mushroom, and one ham and pineapple. The toppings were good, but this is definitely not New York-style pizza. The crust was overcooked and so dry that it was close to tasting like cardboard. I wouldn't recommend this place. If you do decide to eat here, pay close attention to the price you're charged and ask for a receipt.

Their pizza…read moreis cooked in their wood-fired ovens and I really like their colpo di fulmine, which has cupping pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, and hot honey. It's pretty addictive. I usually get my pizza from here to go, but I was able to enjoy their "sweet and spicy" pizza next door at Ambitious Ales. If you drink at the brewery next door, Thunderbolt will deliver your order to your table at Ambitious Ales if you order through the QR codes at the table. The drawback is that the wait time can be considerable during dinner at peak hours at the brewery. The sweet and spicy pizza has the cupped pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, and hot honey, but they also add some peppers and ricotta. It has nice balance. My favorite thing here is only offered on Tuesday through Sunday from 11-4:30 and it's their Italian sandwich. If you happen to be in town during those hours, then it's definitely worth getting! The "bread" is fresh baked pizza dough that's folded over; however, what makes this delicious is the abundant freshly cut cold cuts, creamy mayo, and tangy onions/peppers/vinaigrette. It was just a really good, filling, substantive sandwich and I'd definitely come back for it! Overall, this pizza spot is solid and it's a great option for food in Bixby Knolls, especially if you're next door at Ambitious Ales. If you're taking it to go, then order ahead on Toast and it will be ready for you upon arrival!

We tried this pizza spot based on the reviews from our family and friends…read more My review on this is based on the service we received. I talk about the pizzas below as well. A very disappointing experience and unfortunate. Service: The worst. The people that work there are very rude and they don't care at all. We had paid extra for a different crust and they made the pizzas thin crust. We showed them the online confirmation with the details and they just said it's a glitch in the system. They wouldn't make us new pizzas or refund us for the extra we paid for the different crust. They essentially said take it as is or leave and didn't care at all. Despite the pizza be good, I don't think I'd come back given what happened. Food: The chutney pizza was good. It was a unique style pizza and was the right amount of spicy. It is a Jain pizza which is a bonus as it's a great option for Jain people. The Thai Chili pizza was okay. I expected it to be spicier or as spicy as the Chutney pizza but it wasn't even closed. It felt more like a basic pizza with tomatoes and onions. It's okay but nothing different. Ambiance: It's a to go place, not a sit down place.

The food is amazing every time -- fresh, consistent, and always hits the spot. You can tell they care about quality and their customers. The place itself is on the smaller side, so it's not really somewhere I'd plan to dine in unless you're solo or just stopping by for a quick bite.

I ordered an 8 piece pepperoni Detroit style pizza, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. This pizza was nothing like the one from the other location. The bread was way too thick, and there was noticeably less cheese and marinara on top. The worst part was that the pizza was burnt; not just slightly charred on the edges, but really burnt. Even the pepperoni was burnt, which completely ruined the flavor. I picked up the order through Uber Eats since I was using a gifted voucher, and the box was sealed, so I didn't realize how bad it was until I got home. I didn't have the energy to drive back and complain, so I reported it through Uber and thankfully received a full refund. The only reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one is because the staff was kind. However, serving burnt pizza is unacceptable. I would've much preferred being told the pizza was burnt and given the option to wait for a fresh one. I wouldn't have minded at all. Unfortunately, this experience makes me hesitant to return to this location.

There are certain days where they are sad looking BUT they are still baked fully! And then on the rare occasion, they are perfect just the way they're supposed to be!!! Whoever was making and baking the grandma squares on Friday July 24, 2026 needs to be shown how to correctly bake them!!!! Or not be there at all! The video and the pictures speak louder than everything I want to type. On a side note: pizza was still good. Although I do not know how one could mess up the pizzas. So they get the one star.
