Buffalo chicken
Becky B.

I've been wanting to try this place for years to try their famous pastrami pizza. It didn't disappoint! Delicious pastrami, not fatty or too salty. Crust was thicker but not too much and I loved the crispness. Cooked to perfection in my opinion. Happy hour prices are 50% off the mini/individual sized pizzas. We tried the Downey special, buffalo chicken and their pesty pizza which has great pesto sauce with a nice garlic flavor too. Each one was delicious. Attentive service and our server came to check on us often which was appreciated. Mozzarella sticks were also made very well and you could see the stringy cheese. I'll be brining my family here soon. Plenty of seating. Nice and simple atmosphere.

Downey Pizza Co. is not your ordinary pizza joint, they have a great selection of speciality pizzas that are fun and taste great. For example, they have an original pastrami (my favorite!!), they also have a pizza that is topped with alfredo sauce, mushrooms, garlic, chicken, and even an al pastor pizza option. That one I've never tried before, but it sounds good/interesting. Their pizza dough is always spot on, thick crust, fresh topping. They have a big dinning area, sports bar vibe but parking is pretty tight. I've only dinned in once so I'm not sure how the service is here, I'll usually get delivery to avoid that hassle of going there or I'll pick up. I don't live close but it's worth the drive. Overall, their pizza is great and I'm always happy afterwards. I took a screenshot of the website for the most up to date pricing as of January 2026.

Super unique pizzas and friendly service, good vibes, noisy crowd and strong drinks! What's not to like!

I love me a good specialty pizza, but Downey Pizza Company really did something special here.First of all... a PAStrami pizza?! Who told them they could go this hard? And then on top of that--an Argentinian pizza, drizzled with oils and spices, with that beautiful white mozzarella and beef pepperoni? Yeah... they knew exactly what they were doing.Let me be real for a second--growing up a Seventh-day Adventist kid, you don't understand the struggle of missing out on pepperoni pizza. I spent YEARS trying to convince myself that a margarita pizza was the same thing. Like, "it's fine... it's basically the same..." But let's be honest--it's NOT.So when I tell you this place is healing childhood trauma... I mean that.Finally being able to enjoy a legit "pepperoni" pizza--with beef pepperoni that actually tastes amazing--and then getting hit with those bold Argentinian flavors? Yeah, I'm sold.Downey Pizza Company didn't just make pizza... they made an experience.10/10. I'm coming back and bringing all my fellow "we couldn't eat that growing up" people with me.

Flat draft beer

First time here, wanted to see what all the rave was about. Well we weren't disappointed. The pastrami pizza was amazing! It was perfectly assembled into a flavorful masterpiece. We also ordered the mozzarella sticks and a side salad. Mozzarella sticks were cheesier than grandmas telenovelas. Now for the reason we gave it 4 out of 5 stars, the beer! Man the draft beer was flatter than a pancake at ihop. I had to order a bottle beer the next round. This place was cool though. They had plenty of TVs all around with all kind of sports on. The bar looked cool too but I'll stick to bottle beers next time. The server and staff were super friendly and attentive. We'll be back for sure.

Pizza never disappoints! It's a little loud so don't go for any other reason then to eat some good pizza- I gave it four stars because I asked for ranch but was not advised it was going to an extra charge I spent an extra $8.00 on stupid little ranch sauces- I also wanted extra artichoke on my pizza and literally got a few sprinkles- but sure did still enjoy!

With all the new pizza places opening in Downey, you'd think Downy Pizza Co. would try to stand out with service and quality, but they don't. Although it's been a staple in the community for some time and being back warm and cozy memories, they're really falling on their service these days. We ordered several large pizzas for an event, ordered days before, and paid in advance. However, we were still left waiting forever when we went to pick them up, there was no attempt to even address the issue, and the pizzas were decent, but the service here just seems to keep falling, and the value isn't there at all anymore. SMH

Pizza. Mid at best. Needs work.

Food- wings come out burnt which is disappointing because the sauce flavor is there. Its a repeated experience this is why im leaving this review along with the pic of the burnt chicken wings. Pizza- so mid. Sauce needs way more flavor, toppings need to be cooked better. Service- consistently okay. Parking- easy.

First timer!!! Where have I been?!?!? Please tell me. And I used to live in Downey and didn't know about this place. Let's get to it ..... My in-laws asked to meet here for their daughter's birthday. Best decision EVER Lol Parking is easy and has plenty of it. Service was fast , when I tell you our wings were in n out it's because they sure were. We ordered the wings Pineapple and Habanero not spicy at all and Buffalo. Very good flavor and cooked to a T. We also ordered the Pastrami pizza I know I know What! But don't knock and go try it. It's fire! Also ordered the chicken Alfredo pizza and that was good too. When in Downey definitely need to stop by and there's tv"s you can watch whatever game. And yes there's beer Lol

A family member bought this pizza for us, raving about how great it was. Well she was correct the pastrami pizza was delicious!. If you haven't tried this pizza what are you waiting for?

Seen really good reviews about this place decided to come check them out the place itself. It's kinda dark and lonely. They need more signs or something more decorative to vibe it up as for the food. The artist choked dip was really good I gave it a 5 out of 5 it was really good nice and cheesy and the bread they serve you with it was really soft and warm the wings. They get a 3 out of 5 they were a little bit undercooked. They should've been a little bit more crispy and the sauce was actually pretty good. I wish they cooked it with the sauce instead of sprinkling on top as far the pizza they get a 4 out of 5 plenty of cheese the sauce was really good. Only thing I didn't like was the pizza dough. It was a little bit too much on the edge, but it was soft. Will I come back maybe if I'm in the area I live 30 minutes away so I don't see myself driving way out here just to eat the pizza. That's for the service. It was pretty good. They sat us down right away and sent someone to take care of this drink. However, I don't know if it was just my luck, but I ordered a blue moon on draft and it was flat they replaced it and that one was still flat so I switched up to a Corona and that was also flat. I told the lady maybe they need to replace the C2 tank because the beer itself was nice and cold is just was too flat so I end up going with a regular bottled beer to be on the safe side after the third try besides that if you're close by and live in the area check them out the food is pretty good

No one really liked it. For what we paid and the fact that this was supposed to be wood fired etc, I thought it was going to be better. I feel like we paid good money, but we did not get good food. I feel ripped off. We only ate around half of it cuz everyone was hungry, but no one liked it enough to even want to take it home. We threw away almost all the chicken and half the pizza

Finally tried the Burratino's trendy black onion pizza!…read more 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.

Based on this experience, I'm really disappointed with how the food has changed... ;-(

First timer at Mountain Mike's Pizza. Located in the same strip center as my gym is located…read more I arrived on a Saturday afternoon with my brother. I downloaded thier app so I recieved a discount on my first order. The eatery is laid out nicely and has a dining area, arcade games, outdoor patio, beer on tap, and a unlimited salad bar. The staff was friendly and accommodating in assisting me on my first visit. We started off with the salad bar which the staff offered to make although we opted to build our own. I was impressed with the salad bar's variety of items and the quality of the product was solid. We followed with a medium specialty pizza which arrived after enjoying our salad, the pizza dough is lighter and the toppings were piled high and tasted great. Overall, It was a positive experience here at Mountain Mike's Pizza. I'll be returning at another location again.

Mountain Mike's is a large pizza chain (over 300 in US), that has locations mainly in the Western…read moreU.S. It competes with other pizza chains that offer lunch time AYCE pizza buffets. I first heard about it through my credit card offers. Brought my wife and her mom to the closest location in Norwalk when it first opened around 11 am on a weekday (specifically to have the buffet, priced at $11.99 without drink) and found the price and food to be good. The first Mountain Mike's opened near Stanford in Palo Alto in 1978 (it's interesting how some chain restaurants opened first as a local joint on a college campus and then grew to become a lot more than that...Jimmy John's comes to mind, though I am not comparing EIU to Stanford). There are 271 locations in California, with over 30 in SoCal now. The set-up of the restaurant was a bit different than I was expecting from a buffet restaurant. It's located on the first story in a multi-story office building with other restaurants. Parking can be tough: there's a lot of surface parking but the many other businesses in the complex (including a LA fitness) take up a lot of spaces as well. We were one of the first ones to come in. You order and pay first (then handed two plates: one for pizza and one for salad), and find seating in the small indoor dining room (maybe enough seating for 20 diners) or larger front patio (another 20). It doesn't have dedicated steam tables for the pizza, instead the pizzas are put under heat lamps at the front counter, and a very small refrigerated salad section is part of the price. This means the selection is small for both the pizzas and salad bar, and really only 2 people can be selecting at a time. They offer different types of crusts on the menu, but the only one at the buffet was traditional (typical pillowy hand-tossed) with a crispy bottom, but a bit thick for my preference. There is space for 4 pizzas (the kitchen combines different topping slices into one pan, so there are probably 8 different types at a time) and a small basket of cheese bread. The salad bar was basic but the toppings were fresh. Off to the side, there is a self-serve soda fountain with Pepsi products. Next to that, there is a 'Game' section, just 6 different crane games, ripe to take your money. On the initial pizzas, the cheese was plentiful along with plenty of toppings, and the crust was well cooked. As the pizzas were getting refilled, the replacements were not as good: amount of cheese was definitely a lot less and the toppings were more haphazard. I tried both pizzas with marinara (liked) and bbq sauce (not as much). The toppings were good: with the vegetables being sliced thinly so cooked al dente, and the quality of the sausage was solid (far better than Dominos or Pizza Hut). And their classic pepperoni pizza was well liked by our group. Read on-line that at other places, one can ask for specific pizzas to be made for the buffet, but didn't seem like that was encouraged here (since only space for 4 pizzas and no thin crust). Regardless, for $11.99, this is great value, especially with a salad bar.
