Finally tried the Burratino's trendy black onion pizza! One issue we found is that we didn't really know where to park. Update: The black onion really didn't suit my tastes. But I did enjoy the italian sausage and basil. Still so glad I got to try it. I heard many people say that the black onion was sweet, but personally, It didn't taste sweet to me. The sauce was quite overbearing. The comments were right about one thing: it was very tangy. However, the good news is that my family loved it. If the family loves it, then it really has the potential. We loved the ambiance! The restaurant is very clean, seriously spotless. Based on our experiance, we also found the restaurant is empty. The plants outdoors really set the vibe. I love how it feels like you are in a garden. The inside feels like a typical pizza place. Very calming, and cool temperatures. Their pizza is fresh and everything is done well. The service is outstanding. For anyone who is new to the place, the waiters will bring you the pizza after ordering. They came as soon as possible and everything was delivered well. While I wasn't a fan of the black onion marinara, I do believe that we will come back in the future and try a few different pizzas. I am still willing to think that maybe I didn't order the right thing and that there is more flavors to try. Thank you Burratino's Brick Oven Pizza for the good experiance. I am willing to try the restaurant again. read more

Horrible Pizza. Paid $27 or so for a Xl pizza. I ate one slice and my daughter asked "if I liked the pizza. - I said no" they said said good because we didn't like it either We ate 2 slices total and threw out the expensive pizza. Go to Papa John's, Shakeys or Tumbys pizza at least their you will get what you pay for read more

We ordered the Mercedes to get a good sampling of the flavors. Taste did not disappoint. The dough is a different story -- crust is more tough than chewy, and the edges were more hard than crispy. Service isn't the best. The staff were okay, respectful and helpful, but you'd need to allot about an hour for your takeout order to finish. Can't say anything about the ambience as we didn't stay to eat there. I may want to try it again, but likely not in the near future. read more

This had been on my list for awhile, and I finally made it down here to try out the "black garlic" sauce on a pizza. I placed my order online for a medium 12 inch cheese pizza with the black garlic sauce, well done, and drove down to pick it up. $18.00. How was it? Meh! 12 Inch Cheese Pizza with Black Garlic Sauce- For as much as this pizza is hyped, it totally fell short. The dough was bad. It wasn't a thin NY style, and it wasn't a thicker hand tossed style. It was somewhere in the middle, and just didn't work. It was extremely chewy and not in a good way. It reminded me of how my homemade pizzas turned out when I first started out and used some dead yeast. It was like the dough didn't rise properly, no crunch on the bottom, and hard to get through. The black garlic sauce wasn't even that good, either. It was pasty and didn't even have a "garlic" punch to it. I powered through the whole pizza as to not waste food, but it was one of the worst pizzas I can remember ordering from a non chain establishment. Not sure how this place gets 4 and 5 star reviews. 99% sure I would never come back. Too many other Mom and Pop places that serve way better pizza. read more

After a year of following Burattino's online and salivating for their pizza, we said "heck with it" and drove to LA from Phoenix. Damn! Such good pizza! And so crunchy and crispy and delicious! We had a medium pepperoni/ Italian sausage at the Carson location. I must say, the service was excellent - all the boys (only male employees today) were kind and generous and swell. It was our 45th anniversary and none of them were born before we got married. Young fellas. Next time it will be calzones. Or maybe the cheese lava pie. I can't wait! read more

Gave second chance to this location.What is going on with your chef? How chef can sell this to customers? My husband didn't check the pizza before he left Carson location. Service is horrible, chef doesn't even check the food he sells. Pizza is overcooked, dry and too spicy. Nothing changed at Carson location. Pizza went to trash. read more

It's all about the crust! If you want thin crispy crust, this is the place to go. What we really love about their pizza, is that they put toppings all the way out to the edge. Never a full bite of bread! We shared a 12 inch pizza, and honestly it was enough for the both of us in one sitting. We got here right at 11 am, so we were the first customers. Took about 20 minutes to get our pizza. However it did look like they were already making orders from online or the phone. We went pretty basic for our toppings and got the standard marinara sauce. They actually have some garlic sauces we will be trying next time. And yes, there will be a next time! read more

OK people, I just went to Burattino Brick Oven Pizza in Carson. I had the Hawaiian pizza and I have to say, it was pretty good! I loved how thin and crispy the pizza was --even at the tip! I thought the marinara had a sweet taste to it but good. The dough was pretty descent in taste as well but it didn't stand out. I must say, if you ever going, ask for the homemade black and white garlic sauce. Pretty good stuff! read more

Found this place from Instagram. The server was friendly. They have a small inside and outside area to be able to eat there. The food was made fresh to order. The pizza was really great and had a lot of flavor. The buffalo wings were great. I would skip on the mozzarella sticks. The ones we got were half cooked and some were cold from the inside. Definitely noticed a lot of people who had called in before and when they got there, they just sat and ate which was smart of them to do. read more

We discovered Burattino Brick Oven Pizza on Instagram and couldn't wait to try it--the videos of their pepperoni pizza looked incredibly cheesy and appealing. While in California for a cruise, we even extended our stay an extra night just to visit their Carson location. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The pizza we received was the driest we've ever had. It was like biting into cardboard. Red Baron frozen pizza tastes better. Looking at other reviews, some pizzas looked much better, while others appeared just as dry as ours, so it seems inconsistent. The customer service was good, and I appreciate that, but we wouldn't return for the pizza. Overall, very disappointing. read more

Two things: 1. This review is actually from December. I've lagged. 2. This is about the experience as a whole. Ok so I discovered these guys on IG back when they would just post pics of the food and it looked really good. Finally got a chance to try them during a SoCal visit. The service was great. Teenage / college kids. Very friendly. Very nice. They were out of something (I don't recall what) but they offered me like 3 free sauce (ranch and marinara if I recall correctly) cups. The location is tiny. No problem getting a seat as it was empty, but much smaller than I imagined. Chairs actually weren't very comfortable and the table was small, but not worth knocking off a star for. What I did knock off a star for is the food. First of all they don't have a soda fountain. It's sold by the can. But that's still minor. They introduced me to black garlic, but then when I finally tried their black garlic pizza, it was underwhelming. You couldn't even tell it was anything different than regular pepperoni. And unfortunately, their regular pepperoni was below mediocre. Not terrible, but not something I'd really go back for when there are much better options. Basically this place is a testament to the power of social media. Make it look good and it will sell even if it's meh. read more

Just had to try the cheese lava pie with added sausage and mushroom (2 max toppings allowed), but we wanted different things from the menu, so we also got a calzone with chicken and mushroom. That calzone was massive, could probably feed a family, and stuffed with sauce, toppings, and so much melted cheese oozing out onto the serving tray. The cheese lava pie was basically a sauceless medium sized pizza with triple the cheese, and extra cheese stuffed into the crust at the edges. It was sooooo good, so much flavor from the savory sausage and mushrooms, and the oils from the cheese adding flavor to the crust... wow, I was in cheese heaven. Obviously we ended up with leftovers, definitely too much cheesy goodness for one meal. We appreciated the fast and friendly service at the order counter. We were quoted a 20 minute wait for dine-in, though in actuality it was served to our table in about 25-30 minutes. They had a gorgeous outdoor seating area featuring trees, flowers, and greenery, but we opted to sit inside on this hot afternoon. Also, parking was easy to find nearby on a Sunday. read more

The pizza was nice although did feel a little under baked. The service was ok, it's pretty much self service besides ordering. We did order the wings but I didn't try them as they looked like the cheap frozen ones. My husband tried one and he said they had a very gummy texture so we threw those out. Not really any ambiance as we were the only ones dining in. read more

One of the best pizza places around. You're gonna love this place and here's why. I've been to their location in HB before, and since I was in this area today, I had to stop by again. I went with their garlic pepperoni cheese pizza, which is always amazing. I added the black garlic to it, which costs a couple extra bucks, but totally worth it. You don't even realize you're eating garlic. It's just super flavorful and rich. The sauce is amazing. It's got this sweet and tangy flavor that almost reminds me of prunes or something along those lines, in a good way. The cheese melts perfectly, and the crust is cooked just right with a little crisp but still soft. They do not skimp on the pepperoni either. It's packed all over the pizza and the edges curl up just right with a little crisp on some of them. The black garlic adds that extra layer of flavor that makes this pizza stand out from the rest. You look at it and think it might be burnt in spots, but that's just the dark roasted garlic, and it gives it that deep, rich flavor without being bitter. If you're in the mood for a pizza that's a little different and packed with flavor, this is the place. Next time I come back, I'm trying their extra four cheese pizza. That thing looks insane, just loaded with cheese. Both locations I've been to are great. Chill vibe, people working there are always nice, and it's just a really good experience all around. read more

Kept seeing this place on the gram so we gave it a shot and glad we did. Pizzas are thin and crispy and there are a whole lot of predefined pizza options along with the option to just build your own. If you're doing take out, recommend calling ahead or placing and order on their website. Just know that the pizzas may not be as crispy/crunchy because they steam up a bit in the box compared to dining in. Still tasty but just missing that texture. Nothing a few minutes in an air fryer, frying pan, or griddle can't fix. Parking: If you're familiar with this plaza, you know parking is a small lot and can fill up during busy times. However, there's plenty of street parking so finding a spot is not much to worry about. read more

First step into the restaurant and the restaurant was open for business. Dining area was closed workers were playing around cursing at each other throwing flour at each other with raw hands and each other back and face. When we approached the host gave us attitude telling us were closed when it was open time then when we reminded her she said ah yeah we are. Then added the tables and chairs are not working when clearly they were. I have no issues kids working but can they be more mature and keep a level of professionalism. It's a business and where paying customers that was pushed away and was given us a really bad experience. read more

Best pizza in town, I mean pizza, not some fast food pizza, real pizza. 120 pepperoni with black garlic sauce is a must, tell me anywhere else you've had that option? Ran into the owner who is a super nice guy. When you run into the owner at their shop on a Sunday evening then you know they are dedicated to the business. Best pizza in the South Bay. You are what you eat, if you're going to eat pizza it better be this spot. read more

Decided on a whim to get pizza for dinner...15 minutes before closing!! Their staff was amazing and agreed to make our pizza. My first visit and the pizza was yummy! It was hot and fresh when we arrived. I like a thicker crust but this pizza spot has a classic and authentic taste and feel. We'll be back! read more

Placed an order for the Bianca and when I came home received a Margherita pizza instead. Gave them a call and they stated they would refund me. This happened on July 5th - over two weeks ago now, and never received the refund for an order I paid for. The staff keeps giving me excuses and the run around, telling me their manager Mia is on vacation, and she will get back to me - but never does. I do not appreciate poor customer service like this. Will not be returning or giving them services again. I would rather dispute this with my bank than keep reaching out to them repeatedly and giving them the same information, and ultimately not receiving a resolution in return. read more

Stopped here for lunch on the way back to the office, and ordered the Siciliana, a piping hot "medium" that was sticking out of the box. As far as brick oven pizza goes it was really good. The oven gave the crust a good color. The sauce was tangy, the peppered charred, the sausage well seasoned, and the cheese was that nice melty where it didn't make a thick layer on the pizza (if you know what I'm talking about). I liked how I could eat three slices easily without feeling stuffed. It was reminiscent of tavern pizza in Chicago with the thin crust. And I liked how they put that bright oregano on top. Really Italian colorful pie. The other pies looked good too so I'll need to try those. read more

We also ordered potato wedges and they were undercooked, our wings were overcooked they were stuck to the pan and our pizza came out burnt & hard to chew.

A popular Pizza spot in Carson, they have another location in PV. There is decent amount of parking available for the business. You can dine in, but regardless of where you will eat, try to place your order ahead. For dine in the wait time was about 20-30 minutes! Positives: pizza was amazing as always, try to get the garlic white sauce! And their wings are very good. A great sharing size for a party or family! read more

Burattino Brick Oven Pizza - Extra Large Pepperoni & Sausage Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Carson, California

Fortunately (or unfortunately), I got suckered into trying this place by Instagram ads (showing their cheese lava pie) and had to finally try it after it was on my list for a while. We came on a late Friday night to pickup to-go, and it was busy! I appreciate that they are upfront about their long wait time. The online ordering system has an estimated wait which ended up being almost correct (estimated 75 minutes), so plan ahead if you're bringing home dinner. The reason I came was for the cheese lava pie which, upon opening the box, was pretty intimidating. Although not overly intense, keep in mind there is indeed a LOT of cheese (make sure you take your Lactaid). It has no tomato sauce, but the 4 cheeses and other flavors in two layers of buttery dough meld together very very well. It doesn't taste overly cheesy somehow, and reminds me a lot of eating a cheesy breadstick in pizza form. Definitely want to see what it tastes like piping hot coming out the oven. The top layer of cheese also had a nice char to it (which was a pleasant surprise since the ads always show it without much of a crust on top). We also got a medium pepperoni pizza which was thin crust which was good. Pretty standard fare, but it did feel a bit overly greasy. We got a side of the garlic parmesan wings which were tasty and had the classic softness of oven baked pizza joint wings to them. I'm guessing the full size XL 120-pepperoni might solve this as it's bigger. Lastly we got a chicken caesar salad which had plenty of chunks of chicken and a LOT of parmesan shavings to it. It was pretty good but we felt that there could be some more dressing (the one cup they gave wasn't quite enough, the salad did feel a bit dry but was still good). Would get it again if I came here. We made sure to get one of their white and one of their black garlic sauces. The white was more like a classic white garlic sauce and the black was sweet--almost not quite a garlic sauce at all. Overall the food was really tasty and the cheese lava pie that we came for was definitely something I'd try again, I can see why it's so busy. Kudos to the staff for being so friendly even though it was super busy. Parking can be pretty crowded in the street in this area but there is a back parking lot you can park at which should have spots with people coming and going! read more

We finally got a chance to visit this pizza place. I've had this place bookmarked forever!!! Ever since I saw that instagram cheese pull I knew I had to come. This place is not your average pizza place! If you love pizza then don't skip this place. We drove about 2hrs just to get here and it was definitely worth the drive. The next time we come out, we want to try the cheese lava!!!!! I saw a few people's tables that had that cheese pull and I was jealous! They have a good variety of pizzas and you can even customize your pizza. They have seating in the inside but I wanted that good lighting for my pizza so we dined outside. We were lucky enough to visit on a good day because the weather was perfect and even though there were tons of people we didn't have a hard time finding a place to sit. Parking was no issue at all. They have a lot of space in the back. Restaurant was clean and I even used the restroom and it was fairly clean in there too. If we are ever in the area again then we will be back for sure! read more

I've been here one time before and pizza was great. This time I went yesterday I ordered a medium pepperoni pizza and added bell peppers for $1.50 and a can Diet Coke. It cost me almost $26.

I was offered a cookie thinking that would fix my disappointment. Pizza crust is not as I remember...too bad. read more
