I didn't know what to expect when we walked into the restaurant. Nothing fancy but clean and homey. Greeted by friendly server who seemed to be doing everything. Ordered a 10 inch Chicago style pizza with a small salad. Salad had tomatoes, cucumbers,olives and onions. It was so fresh and delicious. Then pizza came out and looked and smelled good.The dough wasn't as thick as it was in Chicago but it really didn't matter since it tasted so good. Great place with good service. Try it

Genuinely, the best way to start the review is to tell you to JUST LOOK AT THOSE PHOTOS!!!! Oh man...we found this place the other day and it was an immediate must try. It's not a joke, this place is really really really good First off, the owner and the shop are chill as heck. Tonight, he had the Coachella concert on, which was an amazing addition to the food! Love the vibe here and highly recommend you check it out. I've had some Chicago style deep dish in California. This is my top recommendation. It's so good. There isn't much more to say and my food needs my full attention now

Crust was like cardboard and tasted terrible. Way too much of some seasoning that didn't belong , and over $49 for a 12-in pizza and one can of soda. Two of us only ate one piece each. It started out at 31.99 for the pizza but by adding mushrooms and all of their extra charges it was over $49 with one soda.

My husband and I came here for the first time Saturday night after attending a USC vs. Purdue volleyball game. My husband first saw this place a few months back when he was in the area for his motorcycle maintenance and notice a deep dish pizza place. Knowing my love of deep dish pizza, he made a mental note of it and suggested we try it some time. Well, that time finally arrived. We came in and were greeted by the owner? He was giving owner vibes lol very kind and polite. He helped brake down the menu options for the pizzas and which size to go with depending on if we wanted leftovers or not. With that in mind we quickly made our order and patiently waited for the pizza. As we waited we got complimentary bread, which was quite tasty, but the star of the show was the pizza. The whole thing was delicious and I'm glad we went with the medium size so we could have leftovers the next day. The leftovers did not disappoint! I wish we had more lol but that just means we'll have to go back for more in the future :) Lastly, the ingredients we added to our pizza were great (sausage, bacon and spinach), but for me the bacon stole the show! It just had great flavor.

We really enjoyed this place. The deep dish pizza was excellent, we came here on a Saturday night around 10pm and the to go orders were non stop in addition to many other patrons at the restaurant too. One of the owners was working on his own and despite being insanely busy he was super attentive and nice. The place is very casual. We found parking on melrose easily at that time. Definitely recommend!

Owner doesn't respond to voice calls, email, messager, social media. All web sites says it's open when it's not. I tracked very far to try this spot and it wasn't open at the hours posted. The best Chicago style I've ever had was just down the street from this one and it unfortunately closed down. And the spot in echo park has become over rated. I was very good the first couple of times and visited. But I guess the got hyped up.

The service and food was amazing. You can tell it is a genuine Chicago pizza. The food came out hot and fresh. I got a small pepperoni and mozzarella sticks.

Stopped in after a Dodgers game. It is very small inside but wholesome. Lots of Chicago decor. There weren't a whole lot of patrons since it was late on a Saturday night. We were helped by Gio who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Gio seems to love what he does. The food was made fresh and came out piping hot. It's also served with fresh parmesan and herbs. I'm not an LA local, but I would definitely go back to this spot.

Try to find the tiny piece of bell pepper in this glacier of congealed cheese.

I was excited to have an authentic Chicago deep dish pizza, so I came here and ordered one to dine in. Sausage, mushroom peppers and onions. When it came it was just a saucer of melted cheese and red sauce with barely any toppings to be found. I almost got up and asked if he got my order wrong, then I finally found one tiny piece of sausage. Eventually I uncovered a few more small pieces of toppings like uncooked mushrooms and mediocre sausage. Meanwhile so much congealed cheese and already getting cold. The crust isn't buttery or flakey it's just a New York crust bent into a deep dish pan. Once I gave up, I walked over to the owner and he asked if I wanted a box and I said no I didn't like it and described the above. His reply was simply, "you didn't like it." not a question, no surprise, not I'm sorry, and not even "too bad!", just a totally flat reaction like my thought as a customer barely registered. Did I say this was over fifty bucks?!!! I left and went to my car and actually got really sad and felt sorry for myself for having been fooled this way. I hope you can find something better.

This is the best deep dish pizza on the map! I've traveled the world and had deep dish from all over. I Highly recommend

A little slice of Chicago found its way to LA. The deep dish pizza was fantastic. We had ours with mushrooms and pepperoni! The crust is truly phenomenal and overall the pizza was really filling (we got a small and only ate about half). Also tried the chicken wings which are hearty and tasty. The inside is decorated with lots of Chicago sports memorabilia and had a casual vibe. Gio, our host/server, was so welcoming and made it a great experience!

Soo good and solid size
Olya A.

I had such a great experience to order to go my stuffed pizza with two toppings. The food was absolutely delicious - the crust was perfectly baked, the sauce had just the right balance of flavor, and the toppings were fresh and generous. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. If you're craving authentic, tasty pizza, is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!

Once a thriving fried chicken chain with…read morelocations scattered throughout LA, Pioneer Chicken is now down to just two remaining restaurants, including this longtime Boyle Heights location. For many Angelenos who grew up eating here, Pioneer Chicken holds a special place in their hearts. It's more than just fried chicken; it's a taste of their childhood! I've been wanting to check this place out for quite some time and finally got around to giving it a shot! Walking inside felt like stepping back into the 1970s! I absolutely loved the retro aesthetic, vintage advertisements, historical photographs, and iconic rotating sign outside. There's something charming about a restaurant that has preserved so much of its original character. It's easy to see why nostalgia keeps this place alive! **THE FOOD:** The employee working the register was incredibly friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations. I ordered the **3-Piece Chicken Dinner ($14.99)**, which includes two sides and a biscuit. I was undecided about the sides, so I asked for suggestions and went with the Spicy Rice and Mashed Potatoes. **Spicy Rice:** Probably the better of the two sides. It had a nice little kick of spice and contained a few small pieces of chicken. It wasn't bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. Just okay. **Mashed Potatoes:** Unfortunately, these were a major disappointment! They were incredibly dense, and not in a good way. The texture was unpleasant, and I really didn't enjoy them. I almost always feel obligated to order mashed potatoes with fried chicken, but these weren't worth it. I wouldn't recommend them! I was also disappointed that mac and cheese wasn't offered as a side. **Fried Chicken:** Now for the main attraction, and unfortunately, the biggest disappointment! At first glance, the chicken looked promising! It had a beautiful golden-brown exterior with a thick, crispy, almost kettle-cooked-looking crust. Visually, it looked delicious! Sadly, looks can be deceiving! The chicken was **INSANELY GREASY!** I honestly lost count of how many napkins I went through. The breading was excessively thick, making it feel like I was eating more batter than actual chicken. The meat itself wasn't particularly flavorful or enjoyable either. I reached for their hot sauce, hoping it would add some much-needed flavor. While it helped slightly, it wasn't enough to save the meal. Between the excessive grease, overwhelming breading, and underwhelming meat, I just couldn't get into it. I hate wasting food, but I ended up throwing away most of the chicken and mashed potatoes because I genuinely wasn't enjoying them. **THE SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE:** Thankfully, the service and atmosphere were the highlights of my visit! The employees were polite, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. One thing I found interesting was that the credit card machine prompted customers to leave a tip. That's not something I typically encounter at fast-food chains like KFC or Popeyes. That said, I'm happy to tip when I receive good service, and the employees here certainly deserved recognition for their friendliness. One of my favorite discoveries was the pair of old-school, coin-operated baseball pinball games! For just a quarter, you get to try hitting a home run by landing the ball in the hole. The best part? Regardless of whether you succeed, you still win a bouncy ball! I absolutely loved this little attraction! The employees were even happy to break my dollar into quarters so I could play. It's these little touches that make visiting a nostalgic establishment like Pioneer Chicken special. I also enjoyed looking through the old photographs and advertisements documenting the chain's history. There's something fascinating about seeing how a once-popular LA institution has evolved while holding on to its identity. **FINAL THOUGHTS:** From a food standpoint, Pioneer Chicken was a **2/5 experience** for me. The chicken was excessively greasy, the breading overwhelmed the meat, and the sides were disappointing. For a restaurant built around fried chicken, I expected much better. However, I'm bumping my overall rating to **3/5 stars** because of the friendly service, wonderful nostalgia, and preserved retro atmosphere. I think Pioneer Chicken is one of those places where the emotional connection is stronger than the food itself. People come here to relive childhood memories and experience a piece of LA history that has largely disappeared. I'm genuinely happy Pioneer Chicken is still around, keeping its legacy alive for longtime fans and curious first-time visitors like myself. I'm glad I finally experienced this iconic LA institution, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to its nostalgic charm. **Would I return?** Sadly, probably not. While I loved the atmosphere and appreciated the employees, the chicken simply wasn't good enough to bring me back.
