    When a place calls itself Central Park NY Pizza then we as New Yorkers in LA have a duty to investigate. We walked in with low expectations. We thought no way this hole in the wall joint at a batting cage can be any good. We were shocked at how wrong we were. This pizza is spot on. One of the best places in Burbank and certainly joins the list of great NY style places in LA. We found out that the original owner was a New York Italian and his recipe is still being used. Also they make the dough fresh in house. The crust is flavorful and has that correct snap. This is a fold and eat slice like it should be.

    My boyfriend works at the batcade and so we are usually eating at central park pizza at least once a week. The food is consistently really good and service is friendly. I don't buy pizza from anywhere else anymore!

    Central Park has been my pizza spot for 20 years and I'm still so happy every time I order. Their pizzas are always fresh and crispy with plenty of toppings and the perfect amounts of sauce and cheese. After moving back to LA from the east coast, I can definitely say this is the closest to NY style I've found (dare I say maybe better)! The friendly staff and owner who always make us feel welcomed is a great plus. The hole in the wall style when I pick up inside the Batcade definitely gives a genuine NYC experience.

    Good nyc style pizza. Used to come here every now and then before the pandemic. Decided to give it another try. Crust and cheese where on point but the ingredients and sauce lacked some seasoning. Even the pesto was bland, which is a really hard thing to do. Head scratcher lol. Kind of disappointed. Maybe I'll give it another try down the line but I'll just stick with pepperoni and cheese.

I had to go through the hassle of getting a refund from Uber Eats just to maybe get the right thing this time. Amazing. But you know what's really sad? You reaching out, not to own the mistake or fix anything, but to get defensive. Like, that's your move? Not "sorry we messed up," but "let me double down on being clueless." Iconic. If this is your idea of customer service, I genuinely hope your business thrives--in the same way Blockbuster did. Keep it up. You're one wrong order away from becoming a cautionary tale. ********* 2nd response: Looks like I struck a nerve. Also, the sarcasm going over your head is all I needed to know pizza boy..

    Located in Burbank's Horror Row, Lucifer's Pizza is a pretty solid choice when you're in the area…read moreand want to keep the horror theme going. My better half and I have been to the Studio City location, but it was our first time at the Burbank one. There's street parking all around but it's not mission impossible in these parts. Inside is not too big but not too small (just right!). You order at the counter and they bring the pizza to you. We ordered the Pepperoni Ultimo (pepperoni, green bell peppers, pineapple, buffalo sauce) along some Mexican cokes. It took a bit for the pizza to be ready, but anything worth doing is worth doing right. The pizza is definitely on the doughier side, so if that's how you enjoy you zza this is the place to be. Lucifer's Pizza is pretty damn good, so if you're around and feeling like a slice, give them a shot!

Other reviewers have commented that the pizza is very "doughy," but I love that. It has a perfect crispy/chewy consistency and thickness, I think. I've ordered delivery a few times and the pizza is so freshly made that you had to hold each slice to keep the ingredients from sliding off. My fave pizza is the Zucha, which has pumpkin, olives, feta, zucchini, red bell pepper, and spinach. I know it's a little bit of a weird pizza and for parties, I'll usually order just a personal Zucha for myself and anyone who wants to try along with the more crowd-pleasing pizzas. But I love unique menu items and this combo is just so delicious together. Lucifer's is just a tad pricey to be our usual pizza go-to, but I always look forward to ordering from here.

    The best Hawaiian pizza ever!…read more We tried the Hawaiian Hit Man, & even my friend who is NOT usually a fan of pineapple on pizza loved this one. The pineapple is fresh - not canned like you usually find on pizzas - and it's sliced suuuper thinly, so it's still crispy. Then there's smoked ham and Applewood smoked bacon on it, and honey! We got the thin NY style & seriously, I'd come back just for this. We also tried the Detroit style Sweet Gino. We wanted to like this just as much, but it was too bready for us. If you like a puffy thick crust, this one is actually light - not as heavy as others. And the sauce is very good. Since this is the only place I have ever seen that uses fresh pineapple, & their Hawaiian is so good, I will definitely be back!

The spread looked impressive on the table, and the presentation alone earns points. The Focaccia was a standout -- beautifully topped with pools of fresh mozzarella, bright tomato sauce, and fragrant basil. Light, airy, and full of flavor. The Detroit style was equally impressive -- thick, crispy-edged crust with sauce ladled generously on top and finished with fresh herbs. Both were outstanding and absolutely worth the trip. The New York style was loaded -- we're talking pepperoni, sausage, olives, cherry tomatoes, and roasted peppers piled high. Visually, it's a showstopper. But flavor-wise, it didn't quite match the excitement. It was good, just not distinctly different from what you'd expect at a chain. For a chef of Tony Gemignani's caliber, the NY slice felt like it was coasting. One consistent issue across the meat toppings: extremely salty. It was noticeable enough that we were reaching for drinks throughout the meal -- whether that's intentional or not, it's worth flagging if you're watching your sodium. Overall, come for the Focaccia and Detroit -- they're the real stars here. Skip the NY slice unless you're curious, and budget for drinks.

Because this was a…read moremulti-occasion encounter & therefore, there are multiple interactions which I need to state in order to be fair about the review I'm leaving. I placed an order for two pizzas which my boyfriend picked up. There were no issues with that. In fact, the pizza looked great in all honesty. My family of 3 are avid pizza lovers, so if we like a pizza, we will continue to order it over & over & be lifelong customers. I go through phases, & I will eat at one place until I miss another type of food. Minded, we don't eat out everyday, but perhaps once a week, every week-with the exception of when we find a good Mexican restaurant or Italian restaurant & we will go there on the weekly basis. (And then we alternate, but admittedly, we eat a lot of food. ) I also have a degree in restaurant management, so I know how to talk to customers. I know that when a customer leaves upset, that's never a good thing. They should always leave happy. When you run a restaurant, you should touch every table, ensuring your guests' happiness. Should a customer leave upset, they will never come back & tell all their friends about the horrible experience. You should never have an unhappy customer, regardless of how great you feel your food is. It's all relative. Everyone's taste is different. However, this behavior, well, it's repulsive.The pizza was quite expensive, (Over $50.00 for 2 pizzas, but they were "XL") and when my BF brought them home, they LOOKED good. I don't think they were stingy on the amount of ingredients, and we paid for/ordered both pizzas with a thick crust. Because I'm trying to be as fair as possible, I am mentioning all the possible "pro's" I can so it isn't a one-sided review. and unlike many places who call a pizza "thick crust" when it's really just "regular pizza", the pizza here was actually decently thick. So VISUALLY, it looked acceptable, but TASTE wise, well, that's a whole other story. And it gets worse after this, I swear. My boyfriend is the kind of man who will eat just about anything. I have accidentally burnt his toast when making breakfast, and he saw me going to throw it away to make better toast. (It was REALLY BURNT) He grabbed it from me and happily ate it claiming, "I love it like this." You could bring him the wrong plate at a restaurant, and he'd happily eat it. My teenage son, who is almost 20, (19 is barely a teen, but old enough to eat a good amount, and he's not even a little bit picky.) This is just a bit of important background, so you understand the severity of the bad taste issue. All three of us sat down to eat, and my BF gave everyone each A slice. My son would normally eat half a pizza if he had been hungry enough, and after working all day, he was definitely hungry. My son ate most of his slice, and I noticed he did not go back for seconds. I don't think he even finished the crust. My boyfriend did the same, and the slices were small. So, this XL pizza probably had about 6-8 slices per half. (For context, SBARRO has 6 slices for their XL entire XL pizza, making each half only 3 slices.) I took a bite, and I spit it out and discarded it in my napkin. When no one wanted more, I put my piece back in the box, and saw that the rest of the pizza in the box had not been touched. By morning, it was the same, and that is NEVER the case, not even with subpar pizza places which we'd never order again.
