Walked to the farmers market and came across this little pizza shop inside. I ended up getting a slice of cheese pizza. The pizza itself was good, however it fell apart really easily due to the super thin crust and it was a little too oily, but I just blotted some off before consuming. Pricing is cheap and you get a big slice. read more

Patsy D'Amore's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pizza was expensive and mediocre. Whole place is for tourists. The kids got a bowl of pasta with one meatball. $15. Barely any sauce.had to ask for more. If you get hangry like we were, then sure. read more

I don't normally like to leave bad reviews, however This place is an absolute abomination to any pizza or the name pizza. We ordered two medium pizzas one Marguerite the other vegetarian. Both were trashed because they were inedible, uncooked, soggy dough, at an extravagant 70$cost, I feel robbed. The uncooked toppings and gross low quality cheese were the worst I've ever had. It was made by someone who's never cooked a pizza before yet ride on the curtails of their heritage legacy. This place is good from far but far from good. Which is sad because they seemed like nice people. I will never be back, may this review inspire better Italian pies. read more

the best pizza we ever ate, tasty, good service, reasonable price. Highly recommended

There is a lot of history behind this pizza joint. Patsy D'Amore was the first to bring pizza to L.A. in 1938 after making pizzas in New York and Boston. He opened up the first pizza stand at the Original Farmers Market in 1949. They make New York style pizzas and the lasagna and calzones are made up fresh daily. In typical New York fashion, I grabbed a slice to go after a full day of sampling at the Market. The pizza wasn't bad. Not much different from what you grab to go on some corner in Manhattan. I think what the draw for me was their long history with Hollywood. I'll give their full menu a shot another day. read more

I went with my husband in the afternoon to the grove to watch a movie and walked around the eating area and saw this pizza spot and decided to try it out. When we got there we had 2 people ahead of us. As usual it is cheaper to get the whole pizza instead of individual slices. We ordered a whole pepperoni pizza. We waited a decent amount of time for our pizza. The pizza was thin and it was good. You can't go wrong with getting a pizza unless it gets burned. It had enough cheese and pepperoni. If I cannot decide again when visiting that area I would order a pizza again from this place. read more

Nothing like yummy pizza for lunch! I was on a quick, lunch crunch since my next adult field trip with Pasadena City College was going to the La Brea Tar Pits next, after getting back from the Passage Exhibition in Santa Clarita. Located right next to Bob's Coffee and Donuts, I tried them out since I was craving pizza, and wanted to try out Bob's Coffee and Donuts infamous Apple Fritter next. I got two slices of pizza - one pepperoni and one bacon spinach garlic pizza. Total cost was $8.80 (with no drink purchased), like whoa!!! O.o Both pizza slices tasted delicious - it was hot, not too greasy, very cheesy (yay!) and seasonings on each slice was on point, and not too salty or garlicky, though I didn't like how expensive it was! For $8.80 - it cost about the same as an 8 inch Blaze or PizzaRev pizza, lol! Definitely more expensive than Sbarros, and the slices are smaller than Sbarros. Nice place to try when on a time crunch - gets the job done to satisfy a grumbling tummy, lol! Though, gonna try other pizza places next time. read more

Patsy D'Amore's Pizza - Bacon Spinach Garlic and Pepperoni slices. Total cost was $8.80 - tasted delicious, but hella expensive! - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This historical pizza stop was favorited by none other than Frank Sinatra himself. I'm a Sinatra fan and a pizza fan so it sits well with me! The pizza is very cheesy and very NY style. It comes out hot and steamy so be careful when you take the first bite. The crust is crisp and firm but might not be enough to support all the cheese on top so watch for the gooey cheese when you pull your slice from the pie! Now all of you who have been at the Grove & Farmer's Market know that it's busier than Grand Central Station (that's NY talk for really really crowded). Seating is a premium so don't try to get something right in front of the place, go upstairs and you will find plenty of seating. And another thing, slices don't usually sit well unless a pie is coming right out of the oven and it's intended for slices. I suggest going there with a couple of friends and ordering a whole pie because it will taste the way a pizza should taste-fresh! You should try a plain cheese pizza first to understand the love that we New Yorkers have for pizza. After you try a cheese pie, then you can order another one and ruin it with all the junk that Californians like to pollute their pizzas with. Enjoy! read more

Patsy D'Amore's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pricey pizza, average taste. This is definition of mall food. You go here because it is the safe bet that you will eat something familiar that will be somewhat good. I guess there's nothing much to say about it as I had an average piece of pizza. Not totally satisfying but it did the job. It's hard to miss because they have a huge oven and the pizza is out on display as normal pizzas are. The lady helping us was very nice and got our pizzas warmed up fairly quickly. I know there are other places in this market for better food, I would say take the risk and try one of them or if you're undecided, this is definitely an ok option. read more

Patsy D'Amore's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Such a dissapointment. This was one of my top 'to do' foodie spots in LA. The reason is because Patsy's Pizza used to be served from an old school restaurant called Villa Capri. It was one of the most famous Italian restaurants in Hollywood and Frank Sinatra and James Dean ate many a meal there. In fact, the night before James Dean's death, he had spaghetti and meatballs from Villa Capri. He was there so often he was actually renting a house from one of the owners. When a legal battle to save the Villa Capri restaurant was lost and the restaurant was knocked down to make way for ugly industrial apartment buildings ... the owners saved the pizza oven and moved to to the LA Farmer's Market and reportedly use the same recipies now that the stand is called 'Patsy's Pizza' instead of Villa Capri. The pizza here is amazingly overpriced. You pay around $20 for a regular sized pie or $3.50 for a slice of cheese. Consider that some of the best pizza you can ever have comes from the famous rock and roll restaurant, The Rainbow in West Hollywood and costs $16 for a large 1 topping pie. (Thats the same as 3 slices of cheese at Patsy's!) and the slices aren't that big! As others have said ... the pizza is not made fresh. It is pre-made and served lukewarm. They will throw it in the oven and heat it up for your for a few minutes, but that kind of changes the taste and the texture and only warms the top cheese. You can certainly tell the difference between reheated pizza and freshly made pizza. You know that gooey stringy pizza cheese on fresh pizza? Don't expect it with Patsy's. A shame considering the higher than normal prices. They also serve pasta dishes ... but why would you get those? They look as reheated as the pizza and reheated pasta is the definition of laziness. The pizza sauce itself is very tasty ... it has a nice tomato taste and is a little on the salty side. It is good tasting pizza ... I have no complaints other than the price and the re-heating thing. If Patsy's got its act together and made larger, fresher slices ... I'd consider going back. But as of not it is overpriced and underwhelming. Maybe back in James Dean's day ... it was a lot better. Or maybe he just had bad taste in food ... Sinatra was famous for his bad taste in food and he was a regular. Sorry I have to write this ... like I said, this was on my list of 'must tries' for a while. But it was a big letdown. read more

had I not been at the farmer's market 75th anniversary tasting event, i would never have even fathomed of ordering pizza from here. GOOD THING I WAS AT THE TASTING EVENT.. because I truly enjoyed the thin crusted pizza Pasty served me! it's not that there's anything super unique about their pizza, but .. what can i say? it was very enjoyable and hit the spot! kind of like a comfort foods! AND it was better than the greek pizza i tried at the other pizza place all the way on the other side of the farmer's market! I DO have to agree with Josh L when he says the crust was SLIGHTLY overcooked and dark, but maybe that is their style .. either way if i were at the farmers market craving pizza, Pasty D'amore's would be my go to! read more

There was really nothing too special about the pizza here. It was greasy, the crust was a bit too chewy, and it seemed like it had been sitting out a bit. I've had much better pizza elsewhere. It was a decent snack, held me over until dinner, but it really wasn't anything noteworthy in any way shape or form. read more

I have been frequenting Patsy's for over 50 years. It is my favorite pizza hands down. The quality is consistently good. Have never been disappointed. read more

I love there food and great service... omg open every day. And farmers market again great

N.Y. style pizza, dripping with grease. The cheese was good, but the pepperoni wasn't very pronounced. Nice old school style. It's not bad but nothing to gush over either. I'd definitely eat here again but wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Patsy D'Amore's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best New York style pizza in the area. They won't allow tipping on credit card, so make sure you bring a few green backs

The people are rude. Their prices are high. And their pizza sucked and was too oily. Don't go here unless you want to be disappointed by the food AND customer service. Have a great day. read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid! We always order 7-10 pies for the whole fam. What we like about there pizzas: 1) thin crust and delicious dough 2) dripping hot tasty cheeze 3) delicious sauce, not too saucy 4) environment The pizzas come our hot and fresh. We have to wait for it to cool down so we do t burn ourselves! read more

Patsy D'Amore's Pizza - So delicious - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Perfect pasta is only the beginning. The sauce is the same since the Joey Bishop show. I know what I'm getting but I'm from Little Italy in New York ... And the pizza is delicious too. read more

I'm from the East Coast and I come here r now and then just to get some pasta it's really not great it sort of boiled noodles but it's been an okay option to go to for some okay Italian food but the service is always been horrible and today is one girl there were four different employees and nobody can take a order there's no line except for the one girl in myself and I couldn't even take an order so I ended up going somewhere else I'm not sure it's the best Italian food if you really want real time. This isn't the place for you if you want a good service definitely not the place for you butter here average Italian food might be okay for you I would not recommend nor will I be back. I also found anothwr Italian spot in farmers market it has a line becasuse service and quaity is better you might get better foid there read more

Patsy D'Amore's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

New York style pizza with a thin and crispy crust and plenty of grease. The pizza sauce is flavorful and not too overpowering. For the price, I expected way more toppings. Just a plain pepperoni pizza was pretty sparse, which was especially disappointing since the pepperoni is great! read more

I always end up eating here when I don't want to wait in a line at any of the other stalls in the Farmer's Market. Not bad pizza by any means but you can definitely find better slices in the immediate area. It's a little expensive for what it is, i paid a little over four bucks for one slice. Food is served cafeteria style so you get a paper plate, some napkins, and a tray. Finding seating at the farmer's market can be a challenge on weekends but seating turnover is actually pretty fast. The pizza's always reliable and I like their crust. This isn't the best option here but it'll get the job done in a pinch! read more

Very average Pizza. $4 a slice seems a little high for the quality of the food but in a pinch I guess it will do. read more

We know Patsy D'Amore has a long history, going back to his Pizzerias in New York in the 1920's. This Farmers Market location opened up in 1949 and it had a stellar reputation. Not sure what happened because usually long standing pizzerias with New York origin are amazing. This pepperoni slice was greasy and soggy. Resembling a soak up the booze type slice. Brings back memories of college either coming home from the bars or pizza they'd serve us athletes after football or basketball games. Not sure who's running the place now but they need to get back to their roots. But if you're craving lasagna we think this place is a solid option to get your fix. It's reasonably priced for the Original Farmer's Market and a good sized portion loaded with sausage, cheese and sauce. The meatball is also pretty big for $2 and they'll give you as much sauce as you want so don't be shy. Get #lostinthesauce We definitely did and we're better men for it. read more

My "Go To" Italian spot in the Farmers' Market. I was raised on the east coast so my Italian food standards are pretty high, this place is never disappoints. Their Marinara sauce is worthy of the "Gravy" title. Don't pass this place up. The man they call The Irishman will treat you right. Try the Calzone! read more

The pizza at their place in the Farmers Market is the best in town. The best anywhere! If it's good enough for Frank...

Really good New York style pizza and friendly service. It's also cool to hang out at the market.

horrible customer service. middle aged women with reddish hair shows up to work to just to look pretty is very rude. teenage employee boys have no idea what they're doing. everyone just looks lost and obviously hate their job. food is just preheated and unseasoned. don't waste your time there. read more

Patsy D'Amore's Pizza - lasagna - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I DO NOT recommend. Horrible service. The middle aged lady who attended me gave me attitude when I ordered just because I wanted to add toppings. It is literally her job to attend me I don't know why it bothered her so much. She gave me attitude again when I went to pick up the pizza. People like her should not be working if they don't want to. Because of the horrible customer service, I'm never eating there again. Pizza was bland, little Caesar's tastes better and is cheaper. I'm sorry Patsy read more

We ordered the Calzone whole visiting and it was delicious. The staff was helpful in deciding on our selection and the waiting time was nothing compared to venders around. read more

I heard patsy advertisement on KTLA, Chanel 5 and decided to try it. The pizza was cold and not all that is advertised to be, but I was hungry. The service, however, leaves a lot to be desired. On both occasions, the employees were rude and acted as though they were doing me a favor by selling me their Pizza. The first time, last week, the employee seemed very bothered with the person before me, and I think I was treated poorly as a result of that. Today, Against my better judgement, I decided to stop by there again and give them another try, BAD idea, the woman who sold me the slice was rude and once again, I experienced the attitude and unfriendliness of Last week. I couldn't understand her rudeness so I told her, they should be a little friendlier and have a better customer service, I got a dirty look in return!!!! Needless to say, I will not be going back, there are definitely many other pizza places in this city. Maybe the fact that they were on TV went to their head, and caused such arrogance. Patsy employees need to be a little humble and learn some customer service!!!!! I'm being generous by giving them One star!!!!!!!!!!! They are in great need of some Amore! read more

I sampled about three different pizza slices. They taste like pizza. What exactly do you want me to say? It wasn't the best and most definitely not bad tasting. I enjoyed what I ate. The reason for this review - is to point out the fact that one of the workers felt the need to go far and beyond her call of duty. I told her my love is a vegan and she offered to make her a slice with no cheese. That was definitely not something she had to do for a non paying customer. For that, you have my respect. My girl loved it and was happy. For that, I bump ya one more... read more

Pasty D'AMORE'... as in "de amor"... as in "of love"... Not quite the feel I got as I got done ordering a pizza and heard the maybe manager/owner yelling rudely at her new employee.... She was chewed out for not knowing the sequence of things, even though it looks like she hadn't been trained on things. TACT and CLASS... Anyway, on to the pizza... as I waited by the side for my pizza to be finished up, I saw a guy with tongs lifting up slices, trying to pull chunks of stuff out from under it. I couldn't tell quite what it was, but it looked like something from someone else's order? He then tried to take a slice from somewhere else and kept arranging it to look like it was from the original... LAZY IDIOT! Make another pizza if you screwed one up. He's the same guy that I came to ask for a bag/box from who kept leaving the counter as I would go to ask him for things... Thankfully I got another person's intact cheese pizza somehow, and I guess some other chump got the FRANKENPIZZA. Hopefully they complained... Ignore the pictures of all the old celebrities on the walls. This place is definitely not worth it.... Still on the hunt for a good pizza in LA! read more

1 star for the rushed service. I ordered a 12" pie and wanted to add a green salad. I was told that the salad was put away because they're closing. Well after I get my pizza and other patrons have been served I see them behind the counter with the container of green salad that I asked for. How hard is it to scoop it out of the container in to the styrofoam bowl? Although they claim to be closed, they're still selling the dry slices that have been sitting up there for a while. Our pizza was bland. We won't be back. These ladies need a lesson in customers service and having a little patience. read more

Patsy D'Amore's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really bad. Don't go near this place. The gluten free crust burned , hardly any cheese and the sausage was terrible.

4 stars for the pizza, came out fresh and piping hot and the cheese was all gooey and melty. Thin crust, very tasty. However, 1 star, if not 0 stars, for the disgusting pasta. We also ordered half ravioli half spaghetti, and it was pretty bad. Hubby pointed out that I could make better pasta in my sleep. The noodles were all soggy, ravioli cold and hard, and the sauce dumped over the top was mediocre at best. No wonder no one orders the pasta here, I was expecting some oven-baked goodness, but nope. Pretty gross and disappointing. $10 minimum for credit cards. read more

Visited Patsy's at the Farmer's Market with my family last week. My son and I ordered a slice of pepperoni each. The slices came out and they were soft, floppy and the dough was completely white and underdone on the bottom. I took one bite and wondered why I even bother breathing air in the morning. I took the slice promptly back, and said, "This isn't cooked enough, the dough on the bottom is white and underdone. Could you throw it back in there?" The guy takes the slice back and I watch them throw it into the oven. About a minute later, he takes it out and puts it on the plate and hands it to me. Now it's soft, floppy, underdone and hot. The guy says "If you need it cooked more, bring it back." Really? I need to bring my food back twice for you to prepare it properly? I ask him what temperature his oven is at. He looks back at it hesitantly and then turns to me with some trepidation and says "550." Why am I not surprised? My son didn't like his slice either; he said the dough tasted funny. I told him it was undercooked. Apparently I live in Selegna Sol, where everything is backwards; indian restaurants don't know how to cook indian food, burger joints can't make a decent burger, and pizza places like this have no clue how to cook a pizza. read more

Came here on my lunch break and ordered chicken parmigiana with spaghetti and garlic bread and it was great. I would have preferred a little more sauce but that's just me. They forgot to give me my garlic bread and I had to go back which wasted 15 minutes of my lunch so no 5 star for me. I'd eat there again and check my bag next time. read more

Patsy you suck! Small ass slice of pizza with no taste and to top it off with shitty service. If you don't like what you do, which I don't blame you, than get another job! With all the great places to eat at farmers market, it's just not worth it. read more

My wife got a strange food craving - pizza. Maybe it's staying for a 35 years in NY-NJ area. In any case - first place at the Farmers Market was Patsy. The pizza wasn't bad - only the toppings were not great. Fruits and vegies were not baked , not even warm. I don't think they were fresh. The prices are extremely high, just for the location at the Farmer's market. Another awkward moment - we asked for a 1 bottle of the water, the cashier charged us for 2 and gave us a cash rebate. The pepperoni slice was just OK, with a really burned crust. read more
