We called and ordered a 1/2 classic and 1/2 Biggio in the 8 square to go. They said 25 mins. Was ready when we came to pick up. Nice and hot until we got home. It's On the 2nd floor. You could eat there but looked like most people were picking up. I think there's a parking lot at the back. This pizza was delicious!! The crust was the Right blend of doughy and crispy. The tomato sauce and the cheese....yummy. Two squares are very filling. A 4 square is enough for two people. My new go to pizza place I think. read more

it was okay, people talk highly of Fuji & Vi's but the interior is small and uncomfortable and the pizza is fine but there are def better pizza places in the area and in other parts of Los Angeles. group orders take a long time too. read more

This is my favorite pizza place, my favorite mom & pop and my de facto choice for when we can't decide what to eat. They roll their pizzas fresh off the motor city factory line. Meats are hidden under the cheese. The Greek salad convinces my carnivorous Mediterranean food hating partner to eat a vegetable. The pro tip is to get it well done so the Parmesan covered crust gets a blackened Damascus steel crisp making you wish you weren't in LA and refind your long forsaken love for carbs. Also yall need to raise your prices because you deserve it. read more

How has nobody posted about this place! I'm sitting here in the parking lot scarfing down these slices! 4 square or 8 squares. The 8 squares, you can do 1/2 & 1/2. I got spicy Italian and margherita. Try the margherita first cuz that spicy Italian is gonna kick your taste buds! I'm sweating from the Calabrian chili sauce! The crust is crispy and crunchy! I need to go back and try the other specialty pies! Small place upstairs. Three tables that seatsfour. The owner is so nice and helpful. I wanted to try the margherita. That is my go to. He helped me decide the other half! No regrets! He says he's been at this place a little over a year! GO SUPPORT THIS GUY!!! Detroit style pizza so close to home!!!!!!!!!! Parking lot in the back!!! read more

Solid Detroit-style pizza joint in Pasadena. Ordered through one of the delivery services, so I didn't get to see the actual shop. If you haven't had Detroit-style pizza, it's basically a rectangular pan pizza with a thick crust. Ordered the following: - Cheese 4 slice pizza with pepperoni, sausage and mushroom - 7.5/10: very good and filling. Loaded with pizza sauce (maybe more than the cheese). Crust is thick as expected. The four slices are more than enough for one, I'd say. Would definitely come back and recommend, especially if you're bored of the standard thin crust type of pizza. read more

Fuji & Vi's - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

If you're looking for very good authentic Detroit-style pizza, you've come to the right place. Fuji & Vi's is run by a lovely couple, and the restaurant is named after the owners' grandmothers. It's on the second floor of a plaza in Pasadena, on the other side of the street from CAR artisan chocolate (for you croissant connoisseurs), so it may be a little harder to find but they have a parking lot in the back of the building with an ample amount of spots. We ordered The Classic 4-square pizza at the front and waited about 15-20 minutes for the pizza to come out. Most people who came by got their pizza to-go that night and some ordered on the phone beforehand. They have a few tables and chairs inside for dine-in. It came out piping hot, and they gave us three shaker bottles of grated parmesan, oregano, and red chili flakes to pair with the pizza. The edges were nice and crispy from the cheese, and the middle was soft and chewy. The toppings were flavorful but well-balanced and not overly salty--a great classic pepperoni Detroit-style pizza in my book. I will definitely be back to try their other flavors in the future, especially one with pineapple because I am a pineapple on pizza lover. read more

Fuji & Vi's - The Classic 4-square pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

I had a very bad experience at a chain pizza place last night while stuck at work. I was in the Pasadena area today and thought I might make up for my bad experience from the previous night. I found this spot on Yelp and thought I'd give it a try. I'm a huge fan of Detroit style pizza. This pizza place is not your average pizza place. It does not feel like a pizza spot at all. I don't really know how to describe it but it just feels like a different kind of restaurant. Not a bad thing but different. They serve a very legit Detroit style pizza here. It's not the best I've ever had but it's very good. I really enjoyed the sauce and if I'm not mistaken I heard a mixer going in the back room. I'm assuming they make their own dough. It appears to be a family run restaurant and the service is as good as you would expect being family run. Another great thing about this place is it's very reasonable in my opinion. read more

Fuji & Vi's - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

Authentic and delicious Detroit pizza, so lucky to have a spot this good in LA! The team here are very nice as well

This is where I go to for a special treat. I love their pizzas and can tell they take great pride in their craft and have worked very hard to perfect their product. Come in early because sometimes they do sell out, but that's because of all the hard work they have to put in to make such great food. I had a chance to talk to Michael today and I told him that his place reminded me of these small restaurants we just went to in Japan. It's these small places where they perfect their dishes and really care about the customers experience. To my surprise, he mentioned that his wife is Japanese and that explained everything! read more

If you're looking for Detroit style pizza here in LA, look no further! For those new to this category of pizza, Detroit style pizza is a rectangular pan pizza built in reverse. The dough is directly layered with the cheese (typically Wisconsin brick cheese), and then topped with tomato sauce. If you're getting a Detroit pizza with toppings, the toppings are often buried underneath the cheese and sauce so that the flavors seep in and penetrate every bite. This style of pizza is also known for its chewy crust with crispy edges, especially along those coveted corners. All to say, Detroit style pizza is perfection, and most definitely my favorite kind of pizza! So when I finally learned that there's actually a Detroit style pizzeria near me, I kicked myself for not realizing this life-altering fact sooner. I then immediately drove over, desperate to sate my curiosity. Upon arriving, I realized I had actually been to this plaza a dozen times before and yet somehow I never noticed the pizzeria. Insert another dose of self-criticism here. To be fair, the shop is on the second floor of this unassuming plaza and it's not exactly noticeable from the street. Anyways, I decided to keep it somewhat old school and ordered the Margherita pizza. The pizza was everything I was hoping it would be! Portion-wise, the 4-square was definitely enough for me, myself, and I. I actually started to get full mid- third slice, but me being me (aka having ZERO willpower when it comes to food), I pushed past my limits and finished it all. My stomach may have been shouting "no more, please no more!" But my taste buds were definitely telling me "you can do this, I believe in you!" Haha. My cravings won, clearly. read more

Fuji & Vi's - Detroit style margherita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

Small spot serving some of the best pizza in LA. I think most people in the area know of the spot but honestly somewhat surprised it hasn't popped off even more (maybe for the better so we can keep this our little gem). Pizza dough is fresh with great texture. The crust can be a little hard for Detroit pizza but it's part of the charm. You can choose to dine in a small area. It's the humble spot but the food is fantastic. I usually call in for pick up but you can also order there and wait isn't usually super long. Whatever wait is well worth it for the quality you're getting. read more

This pizza is amazing!!! Like deep dish but even better. Our new favorite pizza joint!

During my visit I was greeted by the owner. I was craving Detroit style pizza and found this on Yelp. They do not sell pizza by the slice. All pizzas are made to order, be patient if not you can always call ahead. I ordered a classic and added red onion. I wanted pepperoni on half but the owner mentioned the 4 piece was too small so he couldn't make any modifications. The Classic- 10/10 Crispy and flavorful. The sauce was great and had a savory taste with no hints of sugar added. I would definitely come back again and try their veggie pizza. read more

Fuji & Vi's - The Classic (add red onions) - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

MUST TRY!! The pizza was light and crispy and Beyond DELICIOUS This place is small and cozy with superb food and service. They had some good old Frank Sinatra and Jazz music playing, it was very relaxing My husband is Hooked! This is our new favorite Pizza Spot. Thank you! read more

A small place, but it's worth trying the pizza in Pasadena. If you have not tried them yet, you are missing out, big time! Their pizza is excellent, with a wide variety of options. Take caution because many of them will look similar to each other, suggesting a restaurant; pictures would help a lot. Additionally, I am prepared to wait if you are a walk-in. However, I highly recommend phoning in or ordering online ahead of time. The Owners and workers are great people and helpful. If you are eating there, the place is small and cozy. But their pizza tastes great to go, too! Run! Don't walkt to Fuji & Vi's read more

A little bit late to write this review but oh my gosh, Fuji & Vi's is so good. I have never had Detroit Style pizza before but I can saw now that I'm a fan. My friend and I picked up a couple of pizzas to try and decided on The Classic and Contradiction. Both were so good and very filling. We shared two 8 square pizzas between three people and maybe only ended up eating half total. The pizzas were loaded with lots of toppings but nicely balanced with the sauce and dough. This location can be found on the top level, parking is also available on the second level, and it's definitely a hidden gem. It's a small place with maybe 6 tables but it seems like most customers order and take it home. The lady who helped us out was so friendly and answered our questions since it was our first time here. I'll definitely be getting cravings for Fuji & Vi's pizza and can't wait to try more options! read more

Is this the best pizza I've had? No. I do prefer the thin crust. Pizza here is solid though. I wish I ate it fresh because when I got home it was already soggy. However, when I had patience and reheated the rest of the pieces it was a world of difference. Would try again but it eat at the spot rather than being nice and bringing it home to my family. read more

Fuji & Vi's - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

In my opinion, this is the best pizza in Pasadena right now. I don't know much about how to describe food, but this pizza is incredibly flavorful, and the crust is absolutely mouthwatering. When you bite into a slice, you can taste each level of ingredient all the way through to the bottom of the crust; each new flavor enhancing the previous one. I've had the double pepperoni, the Biggio (pepperoni, ham, bacon and Italian sausage), and the Argument (pineapple and ham). I'm so glad I discovered this little gem right on Colorado. I highly recommend trying it out! read more

Fuji & Vi's - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

Pizza Pies done right! Detroit style! Just look at those cheesy crusts. Thick, cheesy (cheese pull a 10), generous toppings, did I mention the cheesy crusts?! BF got the pepperoni and I got the "Argument" (ham & pineapple)...I know, I know. What can I say, I'm from the islands, I love pineapple ! Very reasonable price point. The sodas are $1.50 whaaaat? Who does that these days?! The place is small, only 3 tables but this place gets a lot of pick up orders. Met one of the owners, Michael. Originally from Jersey. Very nice guy who we chatted with and learned how he and his wife started this place. Such a cool and nice guy. All in all, we were happy and our tummies were happy! We'll be back! read more

Fuji & Vi's - Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

Had to try this place out because of the great yelp rating, and it definitely did not disappoint. Probably the best pizza I've had in the area. The cheesy crispy crust is amazing, worth a trip just to try the crust. The ingredients were very fresh and each part of the pizza was delicious and complemented the other parts well. This is detroit style pizza, which is a thicker pan style pizza, but it did not feel dough part of the pizza did not feel heavy like other pan pizzas I have tried. Definitely try out the crust, you will be addicted too! read more

This place is so good. I can't think of a better square pizza that I've had. THE CRUST!! Yum. Margherita with the fresh tomato slices on top is a 5/5. Spicy Italian great if you want something more meaty and with heat. There's a parking lot in the back that you can access via Mentor Ave. Smooth service and pizza was ready on arrival! Small place, so it's more for take out or sitting and eating a slice. read more

Fuji & Vi's - Margherita, Spicy Italian - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

Service was good. Pizzas took 15 mins to make. I got the 4 square. I think it was indeed tasty but you gotta have it fresh and hot out of the oven. Sometimes cold pizza tastes great, but I think for something with a thicker crust eating it fresh is best. Free parking in the back and underground. read more

Fuji & Vi's - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

This pizzeria having five stars and serving Detroit style pizza really got me intrigued, so I tried this place out while on a work trip. It is located in a busy street but there is street parking. It's on the second floor so you do have to walk up a flight of stairs. Once you enter, it's a pretty small shop work a handful of tables. I ordered the 8 count pizza supreme and it definitely can feed two people! It took about 15-20 minutes for it to be ready and it was definitely worth the wait! All the ingredients were amazing and the cheese was so gooey. The crust was perfectly chewy and crispy. On my next work trip, I'm coming back! read more

Definitely some quality pizza. I prefer the Biggio but they were both great. The restaurant is slightly stuffy but otherwise good service. read more

Fuji & Vi's - Biggio 8 Square Cheese Margherita 8 Square Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been here two more times since my initial impression. Seems like I had bad luck and ordered the wrong pizzas previously. (My) Weighted Pizza Breakdown 8.0 Crust/Dough - 2/10 very bad (still worse than Pizza Hut) 0.5 Frico - 8/10 good 0.5 Cheese Blend/Sauce - 6/10 ok 0.5 Toppings - 8/10 good 0.5 Value - 10/10 great (it's cheap) Final Score: 5.9 / 10 I would stick to 4 squares if possible, even if that means getting two of the same pizza. I would skip "The Classic" as well as the "Margherita", the two I ordered last time. I stand by my original review: these taste like a bread sticks. The problem is that these particular pizzas are light on toppings and cheese, they let the dough "shine". But to be frank, there is nothing to let shine, the dough really sucks, to be blunt. The "Biggio" and "Spicy Italian" were much better. I still think pivoting to boutique LA style slow rise Detroit Pizza is a good move. There didn't seem to be many customers whenever I went. So finding a reason to raise your prices could be an opportunity. If they did traditional leavened Detroit-style pizza with a thick, airy crumb and all the glorious extra flavor that sourdough brings, I think it would be a game changer for the 626 area. I think I was so upset in my previous review because it was such a departure from the Detroit style pizzas I have come to know in the LA area. My expectations were high and it was my cheat day. Tbh I don't think it deserves higher than a 3 star, but as I feared in my original review, going in person and seeing the older gentleman at the cash register, I am unable to give a rating below 4 stars. read more

We looooove Fuji and Vi's! Their Detroit style pan pizzas are aaaamazing! Full of flavor, ingredients are generous, and their crust has that perfect crunch on the sides and that bready chew! We have only done take out from this place and the pizzas do travel well, but they have a few tables inside that you can enjoy their pizzas right from the kitchen! Place is clean and simple and service is warm and welcoming. We have tried the Margherita, Biggio and the Double Pepperoni and excited to try out the other flavors. Simple goodness over here! We definitely crave their pizza and so happy that we live close enough to have it as often as we want! read more

first time eating a Detroit-style pizza. my buddy is from Detroit and is verrrrry particular about what makes this pie authentic. This place is his first choice. we got the cheese. go with the original, right? Let's see what all the fuss is about. OMG. this is a whole new thing. Amazing crust with a crunchy bottom. Next layer is the cheese, with a lightly seasoned tomato sauce ON TOP of the cheese. I mean I enjoy pizza, but I don't eat it often (maybe every other month). I'm already trying to manufacture some reason to go here again (it's out of the way for me). the joint was small on the top level of a business plaza with multiple suites. Inside was sparsely decorated with some Detroit stuff here and there. The server/pizza maker/manager? was perfunctory and no nonsense - very neutral, but he delivered on an amazing pie. we also tried the Boston cooler, which is Vernor's ginger ale with vanilla ice cream. I don't ever get soda floats, but it too, was very good. really, everyone should try this read more

Detroit in the house finally! I fell in love with steel pan pizza last year but the only place I knew of was in OC. I am super elated to find Fuji and Vis in my backyard by accident. We were in Pasadena and someone really wanted pizza. Did a Yelp search and this place popped up. We actually dined in and it's a small quaint space. We did the antipasto salad and a cheese pizza. Everything was fresh and tasty. The salad had cuts of ham, salami, and cheese, tossed in a ir Italian dressing. The pizza has the signature crispy edges and thick crust - YUM! We talked to the owner and he is an interesting and kind dude! Definitely a repeat visit! read more

This place is really more between a 4 and 4.5 star. It is good pizza, you have to get the corner square for the best crisp and bite, with the cooked cheese. If every square had the same firmness and crisp I would give this place a 5. Great dough, great chew, filling but not heavy. Seasoning are good, and nice amount of cheese to sauce to toppings. We got the classic, which is an awesome way to satisfy your craving for pepperoni pizza, very good. We also got the BBQ chicken pizza, which is was again very good. sweet BBW sauce, with chicken and red onion, nice when you want a change from the tomato sauce tang. Owners are so nice, and fast service. I called it in, took like 20 mins, it was hot and ready once i got to the shop. Cute place, small, but good for small group. Free parking on second level in the back.. Definite must try! Dragon Egg approved. read more

If you haven't had Detroit style pizza before, Fuji and Vi's is a solid choice. You can call ahead for pick up, dine in, or get it delivered through Uber (no Uber pickup yet). They also offer a free parking lot (entrance on Mentor directly behind the building) which is pretty nice. I got 4 squares of the biggio (meat lovers) and the santiglia. The pizzas may look small but they're topped with lots of toppings and have a thick crust. The bottom of the pizza was a little soft for my liking but the cheese crust was perfect. Highly recommend Fuji and Vi's as an alternative to your local pizza joint. read more

Ahhhhh-mazing this pizza was absolutely delicious. We decided to dine in. Everything is made once ordered to ensure it's fresh.The sauce was tasty and it came nice and hot. I will definitely be back even tho it's a 20 minute drive from my Mothers house! read more

Friday night. Looking for food options. Yelp'd pizza only to find this little Detroit spot sporting a tidy 4.8 star review with some might delectable pics to accompany. So I had to try it out and bought four 4 square pizzas (2 classics, spicy Italian, and margarita). Pizzas were fantastic. The crust is as crispy and as crunchy as it looks. Might redefine Detroit once you've had this place. What I did appreciate was, while I was waiting in line, the gentleman behind the counter very proudly answered a customer saying "This pizza better be good, I'm making them" and that's the type of pride I appreciate in the food industry. Also received a phone call after picking up my order to make sure I had everything. All in all, Fuji's and Vi's was as good as pictured. Would be a great spot for a pre or post movie date (there's a movie theater nearby) or if you're like me, just wanting to discover a new pizza joint that you'll be regularly coming to from now on, this is it. Thanks Fuji's and Vi's! read more

Fuji & Vi's - Detroit deliciousness - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

I came here the other day with my boyfriend and this pizza place is so good! We ordered the bbq chicken pizza and the margarita. The edges are crispy and the toppings were tasty. There is parking in the back of the building or on the side of the street. There location is on the second floor, upstairs on the left side of the building. It's a really small shop and great for gatherings of 2-4 to get together. The owner was really nice and gave great customer serve. The pizza squares do run out if you want a 4 piece instead of an 8 piece. At the end of the day, my boyfriend and I got an 8 piece and we almost finished it. They are also willing to do half and half of a pizza choice. Definitely going to come back for deep dish pizza. read more

We really, really like the food here. The salads are simple and fresh, and the pizza, with the thick, crunchy crust is delicious. The owner comes across as irritated most of the time, but I assume he's stressed out being a small business owners and dealing with a LOT of UberEats pickups. Hopefully he can get some staff as they grow and relax. We know what to expect now so we don't let his being overwhelmed get to us - we just enjoy our food (a lot) and go home. read more
