This used to be my favorite numero Uno & after 35+ years I hate to say that it has gone completely downhill. There is no management on the premises. The owner is never there & the employees run amok & treat customers like they are beneath them. I don't think any employee has ever even heard of professional courtesy. Or just plain courtesy! I would never trust getting anything from this restaurant ever again because I would never trust what these employees are doing to the food before we receive it. Yes. They are that evil.!!! Even trying to call the restaurant and asking to speak with the owner will resort you to tears ....literally !!!! crying tears!! I am a normally happy person & all the people I know, treat people with respect & I am not used to such vitriol. Seriously.! I could not even tell him the nature of my call, becz he was screaming insanity at me telling me he had more important people waiting in line. His screaming took a lot longer than listening to a simple question which I never even got to ask! Who does this? Who treats people like this for no reason? Why do I need to be ostracized just because I asked for the name of the owner? Because that is how far the conversation went before I was ripped to thread by rudeness and Treatment that was below human standards. Numeral Uno is a good franchise. That has a great pizza but don't go to this location. There are others in Los Angeles that are better like the one on Obama Boulevard. read more

I was feeling nostalgic for the Numero Uno Pizza of my teenage years in the 1980s, so I was happy to find that a few locations -- including the Mid-Wilshire spot in Los Angeles -- are still around. I ordered a large pepperoni pizza. The dough hit all of the right notes that i remembered: chewy, fluffy, buttery, and crunchy with loads of chunky tomato pieces and cheese on top. My only real gripe is that they definitely need to put more pepperoni on it -- there were so few slices that it almost felt like a cheese pizza. The staff, both in-store and over the phone, were fantastic -- super friendly and helpful. When I called, they even advised me that a large was going for the price of a medium, which was a great deal. Prices overall felt reasonable. Parking was surprisingly easy for Mid-Wilshire, with plenty of spots for pickup or dining in. The ambience leans full-on 1980s/1990s pizza joint (a throwback vibe) with a bar. Overall, a solid trip down memory lane. I'll be back again, when that craving hits. read more

I grew up eating Numero Uno Pizza in the 90s, and back then it was unmistakable. The crust had that slightly sweet, chewy, delicious flavor you couldn't confuse with anything else. Even the Romano bread puffs were part of the experience..soft, flavorful, and memorable. I recently ordered hoping to relive that nostalgia, but unfortunately it fell short. The recipe has clearly changed. The crust isn't the same, the ingredients taste different, and even the Romano bread puffs weren't what I remembered. It feels like something was lost along the way...whether that's due to cost-cutting, ingredient changes, or a shift in preparation, I'm not sure. To be fair, pizza is rarely bad, and this wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't the Numero Uno I grew up loving. It just didn't live up to the legacy. Sadly, this version is no longer the "Number Uno" of the past. read more

I ended up having to order here instead of the normal owners that I would go to because it was closed on the holiday. I got their vegetarian pizza, thin crust, 14 inches and wings Parmesan wings. Delivery took a while which was expected. When pizza arrived it didn't look tasty. I'm not used to huge pieces of onions on my pizza. The pizza with overcrowded, which is huge chunks of onion, a whole bunch of cheese, pretty soggy on bottom. That's why I ask well done. 1.18 I never posted these reviews because I really was hoping for better. But today I ordered a pizza and some spaghetti and it's the worst spaghetti because one it's watery. 2. No seasoning. 3. Not even enough sauce. Very watery read more

I grew up loving Numero Uno pizza. I went to the one in Westwood Village all the time with my friends, before we understood the evils of carbs or gluten. Their pizza's sweet dough & crispy crust, and the crispy-chewy deep fried Romano puff balls were the best. Tonight I was reminiscing about it to a friend & we decided to order my teenage faves. Sadly, after tonight I have to admit to myself that the pizza I remember only lives in my teenage memories, because it does not exist anymore. The thick crust Hawaiian pizza I got today was a thinner version of the fluffy crust I had in the 80s. There was no detectable sweetness to the dough, the crispiness of the bottom was negligible, & the edges felt like it was a slightly freezer burned, reheated, pre-frozen dough round. The Romano Puffs used to be these beautifully golden, perfectly round fried dough balls. The ones I got today were lazy flat blobs, so over fermented that the dough tasted like alcohol. And again, there was none of the sweetness to the dough that used to be iconic of Numero Uno. Admittedly I have not had Numero Uno in a couple decades. But since they still describe their pizza as having a sweet dough, I would expect the recipe to be the same. Note to restaurant: you can Google & find copycat Numero Uno dough recipes that were created by others with similar childhood/teenage memories as mine. Maybe you should check them out. They include brown sugar. I am officially adding this location to my Dead To Me Yelp list because this is where we got the terrible food from. Ptsd won't let me try it again from another location, but good luck to anyone else who does. read more

I haven't had Numero Uno Pizza in quite some time. And I've never been to this location. This is nice! Beautiful bar and atmosphere. The staff was friendly. I waited inside for my pick up order and was very impressed at how the service was for those that were eating in. Pizza came out and it was piping hot and delicious! There's just something about the crust here that brings back so many great memories as a child. Will definitely be back! read more

This is really a good pizza though it's quite expensive for medium box being $26. I don't think they have any discounts like Pizza Hut. The amount of toppings they give you is extremely generous and is really fresh ingredients. Somehow, the order didn't come through even when I ordered online and it said it would've been ready by a certain time. They were nice enough to make it quickly within 30 minutes and was very apologetic. It would've been nice to get an extra slice for that inconvenience but Stars are not docked for that! Plenty of parking actually in the back so you can dine in if you like. It's a very laid back joint. read more

Very friendly staff, food is great, prices reasonable. Happy hour prices are great! Need some good music but overall like the place.

I don't know the last time i had Numero Uno Pizza. I think I ordered their personal thick-crust pizza when I was at University , but I could be wrong. I ordered for take-out. Nearby, a few minutes lapsed from ready to pickup to fully executing the transaction and leaving, the pizza was only lukewarm. Like it was just sitting out for a couple minutes -- and without a heating lamp. I ordered "The Works" . The Works is: Pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, black olives, mushrooms, onions & green peppers. large and thick-crust style. Numero Uno is known for its over the topping snow mozzarella covering. Its texture is definitely unique. The cheese kinda coagulates and clumps together. It's a certain style that many like. And many hate. I'm somewhere in between though. Definitely treading upwards from your average pizza franchise, but not enough for me to swoon over. Snow-covered topping crunch with all the meats below the permafrost is a very interesting texture. But I like the proportion of toppings/cheese to be on an equal plane (or near equal). $30 is about average price for pizza market value. read more

Numero Uno Pizza - The Works Pizza. Decent . - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best deep dish, have been loving this since I was a kid hard to find these around as much as they used to be.

I called ahead and asked about the difference between the thick and thin, aside from the obvious. The person who answered the call was Manny. I was unhappy because I did want to try both but I didn't need a medium thin crust. He was very insightful and told me I could get slices of thin crust. So I was there very quickly and he was very attentive and the pizza was great. Made to order. The pic I provided was only half. I think it's a great place. If you go, look for Manny, you'll be treated right. read more

We ordered this pizza tonight and a side order of Romano puffs that usually have garlic in them. Well, there was absolutely no garlic butter and the puffs it looked like there were pieces they started, but it was not melted and even went put in the oven did not melt, so I'm not sure what that was Also to me. The pizza had a taste of bug spray as if they had sprayed in area and the chemical somehow seeped into the food, I can't understand how this could happen but certainly this is not the place that I'm used to going to and I won't be back. read more

I've seen this place for the last year since I always go to the Starbucks in the same small parking lot, and finally decided to give it a try. Had a craving for pizza as my meal before going out and drinking. You HAVE to fill your stomach or else you'll get a hangover. So this place actually doubles up as a Mexican restaurant as well. Got a large for myself which lasted 3-4 meals/snacks and can feed a small family which costs about $20. It came out in about 20-30 mins. The pics you see in the photos are pretty accurate. I ordered combo with basically everything on it. It came out REALLY thick with a lot of white cheese on top. TBH it's a bit thicker than I like but I can see some people really enjoying it. The crust (and dough in general) had a bit of a cornbread-like texture/taste to it. Not bad overall, but not your standard pizza when you think of one. I might or might not come again. read more

Absolutely delicious! Discovered this place recently and couldn't believe how I went so long without trying their pizza! The photos don't do it justice - pizza is always fresh and hot and the dough is flavorful with a slight crunch to the texture. 10/10, definitely coming back! read more

I have been eating at this place for many years. I order the same exact thing each time Romano puffs and a medium pepperoni sausage pizza. this pizza that I received today taste like it has some kind of chemicals in it. It does not taste like numero Uno. I called and spoke to a young lady and she act like she didn't care and of course, there was no manager there to be spoken with I'm so disappointed over 40 years of me coming to this location and I will not be back.. read more

Absolutely in love with the pizza here. It's so perfectly chewy, fluffy, crunchy - the flavor is something my family craves often. I believe the name of the pizza we normally order is 'The Slaughterhouse.' Not my favorite name but its pepperoni and veggies and they layer the toppings underneath the cheese. Comes out piping hot and cheesy. We love it! Service is always fantastic. They are always accommodating and friendly. read more

you know that inherent tough dilemma you fall into when craving pizza. You always feel bad to order it because it's just so much. Well what I like about this place is that they have an individual sized pizza. Bam portion controlled for $17.50 so you can get your fixed without really messing up your diet. I got the works which is basically their version of supreme with extra cheese on a thick crust & let me tell you: they nailed it. Their motto is "one bite & we got you" well they delivered on that & liked it. The dough is perfectly chewy & adequately thick. All the flavors come through nicely for a whopping 1278 calories. Pleasant interior too. Definite repeat. read more

I grew up in the 80's and 90's eating Numero Uno Pizza, was always an absolute favorite for me and my family. You wonder how these things taste 15 - 20 years later... Did the quality remain the same? Was it just good because of childhood nostalgia? I ordered what I had always ordered, thick crust double pepperoni. This was just a fabulous and incredible as I remember. Fluffy and light dough, chunky tomatoes, tasty pepp and cheese, with the best crust in the world that tastes like they add sugar to it cause of the mild sweetness, which totally works and so delicious. Thank you for exceeding expectations and for giving me a taste of my childhood back. read more

Walked in placed my order to go and walked out 10-15 minutes when I came for my lunch the other day. Fast service good food, can't beat it.

I used to order delivery from the location on Obama Bl., but apparently they only offer delivery during late afternoon/evening hours as opposed to lunch hours now. I ordered an individual "The Works" thick crust pizza and it was topped with plenty of pepperoni, sausage, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions. The pizza was good and I liked the way they had a safety seal on the pizza box. I'd order from this location again. read more

Best place to watch the game with brews, pizza, and wings. Their mexican menu is top notch too.

Been to this restaurant a few times always great service, but we went Friday night with the dodgers playing and a party the server Andy was amazing took care of all of it and we had another great experience! Thank you Andy read more

I have been eating Numero Uno for decades. Honestly, I can't believe so many people haven't heard of it. It is hands down, the best "chain store" pizza you can buy west of Chicago. The crust is the key to its deliciousness. Thick but not chewy and it is slightly sweet. Most everything else on the menu will not disappoint you. I usually get the pizza and hot wings. If you dine-in you can order beer and wine and watch sports old and live when possible. Great service but this location does not have pizza parlor ambiance. read more

I used the Slice app to place an order for a large meat supreme pie. The price was $26, just enough to use the $5 off deal. I prepaid for the order, so it was super easy when picking up the pizza. Make sure to ask for more napkins, Parm, and chili flakes if you need more. The parking lot is small, I was lucky to find the last spot in the back lot at 5 pm. Tip: picking up take out, there is a reserved space in front of the store so you can park there for 15 minutes to get your food. I haven't eaten pizza from Numero Uno since the mid-80s. It tastes the same, so delicious! The pan crust was baked to a perfect crispy golden brown underneath. Yeah, it was greasy, but dang was it good. read more

On 2/10 at 7pm, I ordered a pizza to go and when I opened the box. It looked as if the edges of the pizza were not covered with ingredients And it looked like the pizza was just thrown in the box, for $28, you think the entire pizza would be covered with the ingredients you were promised this is the worst pizza I've ever gotten and the stupid cook was insulted that I said something about it. The waitress asked if I would like her to take the pizza back. So they could cover the areas that had no ingredients. I said OK," she told the cook and then never took the pizza back to the kitchen so they could fix it. So I left an I won't be back. Here's the picture of the pizza the side for yourself. read more

This place still hits. Have been coming here for over 30 years and it is a family favorite for pizza and wings. We love the sweet chili wings, crispy and just the right amount of lightly sweet. If you're a fan of thin slice pizza only, this place isn't for you. Their thick crust pizza is THICK (almost dense), slightly sweet, and comes with chunks of tomatoes. Service is top notch with Carlos. He is such a genuinely warm person. Please give the man a raise! Can't speak to their Mexican food yet as we haven't tried it. read more

My bf and I were going to LA (we live in OC), to visit a museum and a coworker recommended this place to us. Honestly, it far exceeded our expectations! We ordered the sweet chili wings which were some of, if not, the best wings I had ever tasted, and the Hawaiian bbq thick style small pizza. The pizza with thick yet fluffy, piping hot, and had just the right amount of toppings. We will definitely be back to try the thin style crust. I will say our pizza said it came with chicken but we didn't see/taste any. We didn't even mention it since it was sooo good it honestly didn't even need the chicken. Also, next time I might ask them to cut the pizza into 8 slices instead of 4. read more

Got horribly sick from a pizza that looked like it wasn't safe to eat. Ordered an Everything pizza to go. Opened it a few minutes later when I returned home and was shocked at how it looked. Sloppy, like there a storm in the kitchen. Have gone to this location for a few years off and on. Ate a couple of slices. About 3 hours later I experienced extreme cramping and being sick all night. Called them this morning. Spoke with Victor. He told me their food is fresh and there could not be a problem. He spoke to me as if I had imagined feeling like I needed to go to the ER. I would NEVER go to this restaurant again. Whatever is going on here is not good. read more

Numero Uno Pizza - what happened here? And there are 3 plastic stoppers shoved in the middle. Turns out the ingredients were not safe to eat. - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

As someone who has frequented this location for more than several years and have been a customer of Numero Uno since the 80's. *This a MESSAGE TO THE OWNERS AND MANAGERS!!! The noticeable skimping of ingredients and the THICK CRUST not being right....is a warning to send the " chef " back into training and STOP telling them to cheap out on the ingredients. That is not how you show LOYALTY to long time customers. You may think you're okay with the busier lunchtime crowd but your slow dinner hours are very revealing. There are a few families who live in the area and all the mothers who organize dinner have all mentioned the NOTICEABLE QUALITY DECLINE. Would you rather save a few cents or lose all of the families business?! read more
