I can't go four stars. I have to go five stars. I normally go to the location on Raymond Avenue in Pasadena. But yesterday I was driving through Monrovia with my daughter and she spotted Pie Life. After talking about pizza with my business partner this morning, I couldn't get pizza out of my mind. So I came by today. I walked in to the great music, great pizza and even a decent IPA. Emphasis on great music. read more

Pie Life Pizza - It's as close to New York as you can get in the Pasadena Arcadia & Monrovia area. - Pizza Near Me - Monrovia, California

Each time we visit Pie Life, it's a no-fail. The pizzas we order are always fresh, delicious, and consistently good. I usually get the Margherita pizza, and my kids always go for the cheese and pepperoni pizzas. The crust is perfectly cooked, the sauce is flavorful, and the fresh mozzarella makes the Margherita pizza stand out. The restaurant is clean and welcoming, and the owners, Erika and Joseph, are always friendly. It's always nice to find a local spot you can count on for great food. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

If this place had 200+ reviews, I'd give it 3 stars without hesitation. But we all know how hard the restaurant business is, so it gets 5 stars for now. For me, the crust is make-or-break. It defines the character of the pizza. Some places can get away with a weaker crust, like Prince St., because they have something else that stands out: the novelty of pepperoni overload and great marketing. But places like that are the exception. At Pie Life, the crust is bland. Comparing it to matzah would not be much of a stretch. The texture, however, is great. There is a decent chew and crispness when fresh, and my pizza steel was able to replicate that extremely well at home. The ingredients are also fresh. The highlight is the tomato sauce. It is light, subtly sweet, and very much suited to my palate. Unfortunately, because the crust is so generic, that lack of character carries over to the specialty pies. They end up tasting like generic mom-and-pop pizzas. The exception is the cheese slice, which I'd rate a 10/10. Here, the generic crust actually works, because the beauty of a cheese slice lies in its simplicity. The fresh ingredients allow the crust to take a back seat, while the crisp crust, melty cheese, and light tomato sauce make every bite perfect. I'm not much of a cheese pizza person, though; I only ended up with it because a DoorDash UI glitch reset my PB&J half to cheese on this order. The sad truth is that, because of the generic-tasting crust, I don't have much reason to choose Pie Life over Pizzanista--especially since both are basically the same price. Pizzanista has a sourdough crust, and its pepperoni has much more character--see the pics. I much prefer the subtle zest, freshness, and sweetness of Pie Life's sauce over Pizzanista's more savory sauce, but overall, there's no comparison. The crust alone makes the difference. read more

If you're craving New York-style pizza, this spot is worth checking out. We ordered the 2-slice combo with a drink for $10.50 and chose the Margherita pizza and the Sicilian pizza. The Margherita pizza was simple but incredibly delicious, with fresh flavors and a perfectly crisp crust. The Sicilian slice was thick and fluffy They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great place to enjoy your meal. The customer service was friendly and welcoming. read more

Cute little pizza shop in charming downtown Monrovia. You can order fresh pizzas or purchase by the slice and they'll pop it in the oven for a couple of minutes. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day, plus a little stuffy inside (but not worth knocking a star off for the stuffiness). My group of 4 purchased a total of 4 slices of pizza, 3 chocolate chip cookies, and 1 Diet Coke and the total was $29. That's cheaper than McDonald's these days, I was very impressed. Taste: Pepperoni or Plain cheese slices 10/10 (great cheese pull) Sicilian Pepperoni 9/10 Chocolate chip cookies 10/10 (dangerously delicious! So buttery and soft) Free parking around the corner :) read more

I came in tonight all excited to try this new pizza place in my neighborhood... what a HUGE mistake!! It was AWFUL!! We ordered 4 slices of the pepperoni pizza. The crust was dry and tasted like cardboard!! The pepperoni was greasy and tasted old! The pizza had almost no cheese... We won't return but I wish them the best of luck! Next time we will go back to our favorite pizza place and not waste our time and money on subpar food!! Gross! read more

New pizza spot that replaced the previous one. They have indoor and outdoor seating. You can find street parking or in one of the nearby lots. I tried the sausage and shroom. You can order whole pizza or a slice but not everything comes by the slice. It was delicious! Perfect thin crust. I will be back to try other flavors. Staff was nice. Great vibes here. read more

Things I love about Pie Life Pizza - everything! The pizza is delicious - my personal favs, in order of preference, are the thick crust Sicilian pepperoni & the warehouse! I love that you can order by the slice, they have a few slice combos with a drink and or salad, you can build your own pie to sample various slices, or just a full pizza pie of your choice to eat there or bring home to the fam. I can walk in here and eat lunch or dinner and walk outta there happy and content for only $5-15 or feed my family of 4 for $35...ya know, in this economy. The service is quick. They heat the slice up and it's usually ready within less than 5 mins. The ambiance is low key, casual - warehouse style. I can't say it enough how happy I am Pie Life Pizza has arrived in Monrovia & is a lovely addition to our old town collection of businesses! read more

Pie Life Pizza - Warehouse slice of amazing pizza - so happy they've come to Monrovia! - Pizza Near Me - Monrovia, California

New pizza place in town that is of good quality and good ingredients. They have a variety of options and are also available by slice which allows you to try different ones depending on preference. I really liked that they warm up the pizza before serving you. The ambiance is cute and the service was good. My only suggestion to the owner will be to look into baking the upper part of the pizza before adding the sauce and the cheese so as to avoid the doughy consistency that results from high heat in the oven. I will be returning to try more and encourage others to help support local businesses. read more

Amazing pizza either by the slice or a whole pizza. They also have a $6 kids meal that comes with salad and a drink. Plenty of seating both inside and outside plus 2 TV's. Will be back to try more pizza. read more

This is a fairly new pizza place in Monrovia, and we have ordered twice. It is hands down the best pizza we've ordered in the 20+ years we have lived in this area. Good crust, good amount of toppings, reasonable price. The only drawback is that you cannot order by calling the restaurant directly. You have to order on their website, and their website doesn't have a way to communicate substitutions -- for example, I want everything but the olives on my "Warehouse" pizza. Give them a try. I bet you'll enjoy it. Oh, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that everyone raved about the gluten-free pizza -- both the toppings and crust -- but especially the crust. Bon appetit! gluten-free read more

My group & I were sooo happy we happened upon this place! The pizza crust was perfectly crispy AND chewy in the right places. Flavors were spot on. We can't wait to come back and try out the rest of the pizzas. read more

Went in tonight to get pizza before checking out the farmer's market down the street. The pizza was very good and every employee we encountered was great but it was SO HOT inside. I thought maybe the a/c was temporarily broken but I see a review from a few week ago that said the AC was out then as well. We ate outside because it was unbearable. I feel bad for the employees!! The managers should give everyone working there tonight a big thank you for giving great friendly service despite the room feeling like a giant sauna. read more

I stumbled upon this place on a fated accident and initially visiting their Pasadena location because I was starving and wanted something easy, so I stopped by and so happy I did because it is so good! I am not even a pizza person and I was so impressed but also sad because I live about half hour from the Pasadena location. A week later I was in Monrovia, a town closer to my home and saw they opened a location here and I was stoked! What a stroke of luck and happy coincidence they opened another location. I came in today for lunch and I am so happy. Please support! So delicious. Wish you all abundant success in your new location. read more

Pie Life Pizza - Pepperoni and Warehouse slice... sorry I was hungry haha - Pizza Near Me - Monrovia, California

The high rating is accurate. Fresh, clean, yet fast, delicious pizza. What stands out, are the toppings. Fresh quality and a good amount. This is my go to when I'm closer to the 605 than the 57 (Fire Fresh - San Dimas). My only wish was that the ranch was better. $11.50 for two slices and a drink is unbeatable for the value. read more

Pie Life Pizza - Meaty and Warehouse slices. - Pizza Near Me - Monrovia, California

Stoked to have Pie Life here in Monrovia near home. We frequent the Pie Life in Pasadena near work. NY Style slices are top tier. Perfectly cooked with generous toppings. Side of ranch is the perfect dip with a delicious chocolate chip cookie to finish off lunch. Pepperoni, Pepperoni Burrata, and Sausage & Peppers slices are great. Need to try the Sicilian next! read more

2nd! Woohoo! Having Pie Life is livin' my best life on a Friday haha! Def lived up to hype that I have heard from their Pasadena branch. Ordered the NY Pizza with extra cheese and half pep on their website but had glitchy issues with completing my order because the order won't go through if you don't choose a topping for a whole pizza (there was not an option for No Topping) even though I was ordering a half cheese half pep so ended up getting triple extra cheese which was well worth it! Possibly the best NY style pizza nearby and def better than Village Pizza in Sierra Madre. Lastly the pizza, and the crust tho! It's density and crust's crunch held up with all that cheese pull and the NY pizza fold was legit. The pizza had snap and wasn't floppy like Sengun for the Rockets who will lose to Lakers tonight (I'm calling it 1 hour before game time haha) read more

What a great addition to the local community! We love that this family-friendly pizza restaurant offers pizza by the slice, which makes it easy for everyone in our family to enjoy exactly what they want without having to order multiple whole pizzas. That's something you don't often find at local pizza spots. My son loved the New York style cheese pizza, and I thoroughly enjoyed a slice of the BBQ Chicken pizza. The atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for families, making for a wonderful dining experience. We're excited to watch this family owned restaurant grow and thrive and look forward to many future visits. One suggestion would be to expand the dessert selection...some brownies or other sweet treats would be a fantastic addition alongside the chocolate chip cookies. Wishing the owners continued success, and we can't wait to come back! read more

Fantastic spot! Easily the best place in Monrovia and one of the best in SGV. Super thin and crisp. A perfect bake. read more

Been here a few times & will definitely be back again read more

Pie Life Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Monrovia, California

Discovered this by exploring the downtown Monrovia area, it's a great pizza place! First off, seems like vegans and lactose intolerant people are out of luck here since it's full dairy though I suppose you could build your own pizza without cheese. There's slices available when you walk in for about 5$ per slice. Otherwise if you want a whole pie, they got Sicilian style and NY style. We tried a Sicilian cheese and it was pretty good, think Detroit style but thinner crust. However I personally preferred the NY style slices. They are thinner and more traditional slices and huge! I think it's basically the size of a Costco pizza slice or pretty close to it. Of course pizza tastes amazing the day of, but we did buy a whole one to go and if you know how to reheat pizza, it's not too bad the next few days. Pizza is a bit on the pricier side but I feel you get the quality of what you pay. Besides don't just let me be a judge, this is apparently their second location so they must be doing something right! Give it a try if you're in the mood for pizza! read more

I've been here twice since they've opened and am delighted to have great, local pizza in M-town! Lasagna pizza is not a noun that I ever thought would enter my life, but I could probably eat a whole pie of the stuff. I'm also the type to leave pizza bones (at least 90% of the time) but I actually ate all of the crust of my slice which somehow tastes lighter and far less likely to make one ponder future health issues. The location and setting is also great with the option to take your slice across the street to enjoy an evening stroll by the library in the (pretty likely, IMO) chance that the place is packed. I'll be back! read more

I was excited for this new pizza shop to open in my little town of Monrovia and it did not disappoint! I'm simple, plain cheese and it was delicious. The Sicilian cheese slice was my favorite with its unique tomato sauce flavor highly recommend. Will definitely stop by again soon :) read more

Very solid thin crust pizza! Fresh is best, has a crisp when out of the oven. If take-out, we do put a couple of slices in the toaster oven or air fryer to crisp the bottom again and melt the cheese. Probably one of the better pizzas for reheating. Am glad that they opened one in Monrovia, since we've been fans of the Pasadena location for years. read more

My wife and I tried this place for the first time. We were hoping for a good pIzza but were disappointed. The crust seemed undercooked as it was too chewy. The taste was ok but nothing to write home about. Needless to say that we won't be going back. read more

Tried this spot, since we like the pizza from their Pasadena location. We ordered a half and half (can't remember what was on it ). It was just as good as Pasadena. They have a nice sit down area on Myrtle. They took care of us and had our pizza ready in 15 minutes. read more

A much needed new pizza place in Monrovia. The service was excellent and the indoor/outdoor seating was great. I'm very picky with pizza and this place passed with flying colors.

I brought the family in to try the new spot in town. I heard it was a little pricey but I'm totally fine with that. Unfortunately, In my opinion and the opinion of my family, was that the pizza was nothing special. We ordered four different types and I didn't care for any of them. The ambiance was not elevated. The service by the two young ladies working behind the counter was lackluster. We dined inside and the evening sun was glaring in and the AC was not working. They have a couple of ceiling fans but they couldn't turn them on because they couldn't reach the cord. I don't think I'll be giving them a second chance. Bummer. read more
