    Soooo good, cant go wrong with any of the pies! I like that they have a good mix of square and round pizzas. I haven't had their sandwiches, but I'd love to come back to try. They're quick with toasting your slices and bringing food right to your table. FYI - they're on InKind app!

    The Honey Deniro Pie , tomato garlic pie

    Came by the other day craving pizza and wanted to try something new. They have a good selection of slices and square pies, plus some sandwiches. I got a square Honey Dinero and a slice of margherita. The square was decent, cheesy with crispy edges, but I couldn't really taste much of the honey and it felt a little dry, could've used more sauce. The margherita slice was the winner for me. Crispy edges, gooey cheese, and a good balance of sauce. Next time I'd probably stick with the slices over the squares. I'm also curious to try their sandwiches since they use Boar's Head meats which is usually good quality. Overall a good spot if you're looking to switch it up.

    Cheese pizza

    Was in the area and needed some lunch. Walked down the street to see the options we had and I loved how the pizza looked from here! I haven't had pizza in a while and love the idea of pizza by the slice. We got a pizza and salad to share! Greek salad 10/10 and pizza was delicious too 10/10! I would love to comeback when in the area! Most of the parking here is paid street parking or lots. They have a tablet to order your food from. Pretty busy but service is still very quick!

    4.5 stars Came last night around 8pm so there wasn't many single slice options available which was unfortunate. Single slice range from $5-6 & were huge! I love the ambiance, they have great music & they play sports on their large tv so it's a good vibe. Our favorite pizzas were the plain cheese pizza & the honey deniro pizza! Also tried the pepperoni & chicken bbq. The black & white cookie wasn't great but I've always wanted to try one. Total $30 with tip The round pizza slices have a crunchy bottom & thin crust. The square pizza slices have a crunchy bottom & fluffy center. Parking in Pasadena just isn't as convenient, have to park down the street at the meter but not too bad since it wasn't busy

    Meat Lovers - Grandma Pie
    Kristine L.

    I ordered the Meat Lovers grandma for pickup. There's not a good place to park just for pickup, you'd have to find adjacent street parking or park in the structure. I was with my bf so he got out while I waited on the street with emergency lights on. It took awhile and when he came out he said there was nobody around working so it took awhile to get service so that wasn't ideal. As for the pizza itself, thankfully it was still pretty hot by the time we got home. The toppings tasted fresh and they didn't skimp on them. I like a thick Detroit style crust or pan so for me it was delicious. Even my bf who prefers a thinner crust still really liked it. It's a little pricey but in line with these more specialty type of pizza spots. Overall I enjoyed it and could see myself ordering from them again.

    We always have to get pizza somewhere when we travel and when we walked by this place we had to check it out. They make pies (both NY & grandma) and sandwiches. They sell by the slice as well and there's always a dozen different options ready to go in the display case. The kid working the counter was great very polite, helpful and personable (great customer service!). We liked it so much we visited two days in a row! We tried a variety of grandma style slices and they all were fantastic! The dough was great it had a good chew and crispy sides and bottom. Good quality cup & char pepperoni and ricotta cheese!

    We enjoyed the pizza so much we went back twice !! The slices were huge and flavorful !!! $5.50 a slice !!! The guy at the counter (didn't get his name) was super friendly and a hard worker .

    Sandwiches are huge and tasty - top ingredients and always split one as it's just too big for the average person - Please make sure to include extra pickles as they are so delicious

    Brooklyn Square -- A Deep Disappointment Masquerading as New York Pizza Rating: (1/5) Brooklyn Square markets itself with the confidence of a New York-style pizza institution, but my visit revealed a product and experience that fell dramatically short of that promise. Between the lackluster execution and a serious food safety issue, this was one of the most disappointing pizza outings I've had in recent memory. Ambiance - 2/5 The atmosphere was busy and energetic, which initially suggested popularity and strong demand. However, beyond the crowd, there was little about the space that evoked the charm or authenticity of a true New York pizzeria. It felt more commercial than crafted. Authenticity - 1/5 Let's address the core claim: this is not New York-style pizza. The crust lacked the structural integrity and chew you'd expect from a proper slice. It didn't fold correctly, didn't carry that thin-yet-resilient texture, and lacked the subtle char and balance that define authentic NY pizza. It was just simply a very thin pizza. I've had more convincing renditions from major chains. The name sets expectations the kitchen simply does not meet. Flavor - 1/5 Even setting authenticity aside, the pizza itself was unremarkable. The sauce and cheese failed to create any memorable depth of flavor. But what truly ended the experience was biting into a large piece of plastic embedded in the pizza. I physically had to spit it out mid-chew. This is not just a minor flaw -- it's a serious quality control failure. Food safety is non-negotiable. Service - 2/5 The restaurant was busy, which may explain some operational strain, but that cannot excuse foreign objects in food. Regardless of rush volume, quality control should never slip to this degree. Cost - 2/5 Given the quality and the safety lapse, the price point feels unjustified. A high rating and branding can only carry a restaurant so far -- execution must follow. Final Thoughts Brooklyn Square may have built a strong reputation, but based on this visit, it feels overrated and poorly managed. Authenticity was absent, quality was inconsistent, and food safety was compromised. I sincerely hope management takes this seriously -- because no diner should have to worry about biting into plastic while eating a slice of pizza.

    Bada Bing Sandwich
    Jason V.

    I was looking for a good Italian sub and came across this place on IG. I ordered the Italian Bada Bing, some fried Ravioli, and a slice of spicy pepperoni pizza. The stand out here was the pizza. It was well balanced, had a crisp crust, and pepperoni were bomb. The ravioli were ok. And that sandwich wasn't great. I think the main issue with the sandwich was the cheese. I love cheese, but in this case it overpowered the sandwich. Every bite all you can taste is the cheese, and it made the sandwich not that enjoyable. I'll definitely come back and try some more pizza, and possibly a different sandwich. This place is in Old Town Pasadena, so you know parking is going to be a headache.

    The Italian Bada Bing Sandwich
    Reid H.

    I don't know what they do differently from their pies, but their slices are excellent here. Sometimes the pies come out a little extra doughy, but these slices are the essence of what an east coast slice is. Crispy and thinner undercarriage, no flop, entire slice holds its integrity--all 3 for a little under $16. Honestly, for prices these days, that ain't too bad in my opinion. Service was impeccably fast, per usual, and the options are always great to choose from. Highly recommend if you're in the area and are looking for a quality NY style pizza.

    Spicy sausage DEC2025
    Franklin M.

    I was in the mood for some pizza but didn't need a whole pizza because I was by myself. Luckily they sell by the slice and I picked out the square cut Spicy Sausage and it cost around 6 bucks. The dough is perfectly crispy crunchy and that Spicy was hot and it burned my mouth. It was delicious and I was able to watch the Rams vs Falcons football game on the big television.

    I've been a big fan of Menocino Farms ever since I tried them in Marina del Rey many moons ago…read more Lots of healthy food options and I usually gravitate to a favorite salad and a favorite sandwich so it comes down to what I'm in the mood for until those items get removed from the menu. Right now, my favorites are the Thai Mango salad and Chimichurri Steak & Bacon sandwich. But, I really miss the Sophisticated Chicken and Prosciutto salad and hope it can come back on the menu. And... include the Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad while they're at it.

It consisted of lettuce, avocado, corn, black beans, jicama, tomatoes, onion, quinoa, krispies, kale, cilantro, and cotija. The lettuce wasn't too fresh and there were some that were yellow green but not a big deal. It was packed with flavor even without the chipotle vinaigrette (relieved I got it on the side because I wasn't s big fan). The avocado was very fresh and plentiful. I added chicken for extra $4.74 and it was very tender! Overall, I enjoyed the salad but a bit pricey so it was a good one time experience! The Chicken Pesto Caprese ($14.10) was pretty good. It consisted of chicken, mozzarella, red peppers, pesto, and mixed greens. The greens were very fresh and the sandwich was packed with flavor. The chicken was a little dry but not a big deal. There was a lot of red pepper and it was a bit overwhelming so I wished there wasn't so much. Really enjoyed the pesto since it it wasn't too salty and was the cherry on top to the sandwich! I also really liked that the bread was soft and fresh. Got the "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich ($13.68) - 1/2 portion and it came with a side (paid extra $1.26) for tomato basil soup. It consisted of chicken, krispies, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, onions, and herb aioli. The bread was very fresh and soft. I'm glad I got this in half portion because I thought this was just ok and nothing special. The tomato basil soup was very oily and salty so wasn't too enjoyable. The Pomegranate Mint Lemonade ($5.10) was sooo sweet. It was refreshing but the mint was a little too overpowering. Definitely recommend adding ice and/or water otherwise it's way too sweet! Overall, the sandwich and salads were a bit pricey but definitely one of the better spots for sandwiches and salads in terms of quality and quantity!

I've been married to an Italian woman for years and have eaten sandwiches from Little Italy's all over the states to many in Italy as well, so I was definitely interested to order some sandwiches and giving this place a go. This small shop doesn't have much seating, but it does have a counter to sit at as well as a small section of pasta, sauces, drinks, and various other things for you to purchase when you walk in. The menu here isn't massie, but you don't really need it to be at an Italian sandwich shop so who cares? I ended up ordering the Chicken Confit which description is "Our newest sandwich! Dark meat chicken sourced from Cream Co. Meats, confited in olive oil, then tossed it with an orange-Calabrian chili agrodolce spiked with fennel seed and garlic that's bright, deeply savory, a touch spicy, and a little addictive. It all comes together with spicy arugula and tangy pecorino Toscano on a Bub & Grandma's baguette.". The sandwich was about $15 and I gotta say, it's not very big and it didn't really do the job of filling me up and neither did my wife's. The flavour wasn't bad at all, it was solid enough and I don't have any complaints other then It was simply kind of small for the price. Overall, Ferrazzani's Pasta & Market is fine. I didn't leave blown away by anything, and in fact I was left still kind of wanting to eat. The sandwich was fine, but I don't think the amount of food matches the price and I can't really see myself driving back to Pasadena to give this place another go, but hey, this may be the perfect shop for somebody.

Hubby got the Classic Aussie sandwich and the bread pudding, while my son and I got the Beef Pho meat pies and Popcorn Pork meat pie rolls. The beef pho meat pie definitely had the pho flavors and aromatics. This was absolutely delicious! The Popcorn Pork was good, not as aromatic as the pho pie. The flavor was lacking on the Taiwanese popcorn chicken basil flavor that it claimed. It reminded me more of a Vietnamese meat pie (pate chaud), which is peppery with a smoother texture that this one did not have, but it was still flavorful. The bread pudding was good but the texture was more dense reminding me of a banana bread loaf. I didn't care for the dollop of yogurt on top, which took away from the flavor of the bread pudding itself. Hubby said the Classic Aussie was good but was expensive for the size of the sandwich (small burger size). Hubby got the Long Black coffee which was good, but sadly my iced matcha latte was lacking in the matcha flavor. It was very pale in color and tasted mostly of milk. Service was quick and friendly. I will come back for the meats and try the other flavors of the meat pies next time.
