This Italian restaurant is such a special place to me My boyfriend used to work here 10 years ago, and ever since he first brought me here, I completely fell in love with it. He wanted me to experience the pasta he used to talk about, and honestly... it was one of the best Italian dishes I've ever had. The pasta tastes so fresh, authentic, and homemade you can truly feel the traditional Italian flavors in every bite. Everything is rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like you're eating at a real Italian family restaurant. Not only is the food amazing, but it also holds such a sentimental and beautiful memory for us. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking for authentic and unforgettable Italian food read more

The pizza here is bomb! I ordered 2 large pizzas, 1 cheese and 1 pepperoni sausage. The pizza was made perfectly, the crust was crunchy and the cheese was extremely stringy, they put some type of Italian seasoning on it too. The restaurant is pretty old but they have been around for a while and it's family owned. I was greeted by Mike and he was polite and made sure my pizza was done right. I would recommend this place if you want to treat yourself to some good pizza. They have a banquet room available for meetings and events. Thanks Caro and Mike! read more

The pizza was so fantastic everything else is overshadowed! They have been serving consistently excellent pizza for decades!! The service, unfortunately, continues to get worse. Only on inside dining. Take out is fabulous!! Our mozzarella sticks tasted freezer burned so we did send those back! The food and the owners are why we love Pina's!! read more

Wow History any Warren Bear out there remember going to Pinas in 75 76? Took a trip down memory lane. I always loved the Lasagna. Friends nice job. Pizza was great. It so awesome to say I remember when and food is still as good!!! Thanks so much for the memories read more

I hate giving this place 1 star because we been eating there through out the years , but our visit yesterday was disappointing. Our party of 10-15 goes out every Sunday, and we chose Pina's because it's usually good for larger groups. Kat did her job, but she seemed to be the only one working while several other employees stood around. Our food took over an hour to arrive, and when I asked for a manager, they told me Kat--who was already overwhelmed--was the manager. I tried to understand the cause of the delay, whether it was staffing or the kitchen, but nothing was explained. We stayed only because we were trying to be understanding. Another disappointment after waiting for our food we had to pay an extra 20% tip for party of 8 or more. Not saying servers don't deserve, it just wasn't an enjoyable experience. read more

I've been coming to Pina Pizza House in Downey for many years, and it never disappoints. The pizza is always delicious and consistently great every time we visit. The service is excellent -- friendly, welcoming, and attentive. It has a very family-oriented atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable bringing kids, friends, or extended family. Definitely one of our longtime favorite spots in Downey! read more

I was expecting more authenticity for the oldest Italian restaurant. It's super close and decided to give it a try. They do not use dough and use frozen pizza crusts. As soon as I saw that I knew I wasn't going to get the experience I was being charged for. Fries had no flavor, packaged mozzarella sticks with wings which messed up the flavor for the sticks. Just a lot of cutting corners which is why I just saw a bunch of kids working. No skill needed with frozen pizza crusts and overcharging for a lunchable style pizza. Especially when guests go in for an authentic experience. Been in restaurant operations for over 15 years and want to warn because I feel ripped off read more

My wife and I decided to give this place a try, I got the all you can eat spaghetti with meat sauce and it was terrible!, very very watery as you can see on the pictures I was very disappointed I mentioned it to the waitress and said it was from the vapor ? and makes the sauce watery ‍ it doesn't do that!?, they did not drained the spaghetti correctly! also the sauce was supposed to be meat sauce it did not have any meat! maybe few crumbs of meat this was terrible the waitress did no even say let me re-make that for you or let me remove that from your bill NOTHING! I will not be coming back to this place I just wasted $$$ I could have made spaghetti at home cheaper and better!. read more

I have found out that the unhelpful, unkind and inhospitable employee was a man named Mike, he's the manager guy...I recognized him in the store's Instagram posts. He is the man behind the counter about whom I wrote on November 13, 2020. He's not a nice person. This is why I never returned to the store nor have I ever recommended that anyone patronize it. In one moment a rude, frowning and prejudiced employee, even if he's a family member, can ruin a store's reputation. read more

Admittedly, it had been quite some time since I last visited Pina Pizza. I was still shocked though, when I recently learned one of my favorite places had started adding a four percent surcharge on credit card purchases. Granted, there are a few other places that do the same, but I would have never expected such nickel-and-diming from the great folks here. My second-favorite Italian restaurant, in Anaheim, added a credit card surcharge awhile back but, after I (and, no doubt, others) spoke-up, I was happy to see this bogus fee removed. I know there are merchant fees involved with credit card acceptance, but those fees have always been there and all other businesses also pay them. I also recognize the cost of doing business always increases, which is why I never complain when menu prices go up. It's these extra, unexpected fees that disappoint. read more

Amazing food . Friendly staff. The place clean and organized . Big portions and the bread is very tasty

Pinas has been our families go to for about 60 years And they don't disappoint still to this day...

I was so happy with our server, Sonia, and food runner Kaylah. It was a very busy Friday night but everyone pitched in with drinks and food service. Our food tasted great and came out in a timely manner. read more

Been coming here for 16yrs. I use to live a couple blocks away, then I moved so I don't get it as often. I'll go out my way to pick up from here when I'm craving it. Pizza has been consistent since the first time I tried it. The best thing I've noticed is the pizza gets better for leftovers. I put it in the air fryer the next day 5min @ 350, it comes out crispy. This is the only pizza I know that gets better as leftovers Buffalo wings are perfect, but I order it extra crispy read more

Been eating here since I was a kid in the 80's! Friendly service whether you choose dine in or carry out!

What's has happened to the service at Pina Pizza House ? Customer service is unbelievably terrible ! My wife and myself stopped in to have dinner a lady told us to sit wherever we would like ! Sat down and nobody ever came to serve us ! We got up and walked out ! All we could hear coming from the kitchen was everyone in there talking and laughing up a storm ! They never even acknowledged us leaving! read more

Loved this place!! Staff were extremely accommodating we got there 30mins before closing and they were extremely patient with us. Pizza was delicious! Topping options are great! read more

Great place for food in Downey. I've had a few different pizzas (I'm really fond of the Pina Special), the mozzarella sticks, a good number of salads, and their meatball sub, and all of it was very good. The meatball sub is particularly tasty. The service is good and the people are very friendly. It's an enjoyable visit every time. read more

Went to Pina Pizza House for the 1st time yesterday. Had pepperoni pizza and salad. Wasn't sure what to order so I played it safe. My husband ordered the lasagna. The pizza was amazing!! My husband said the lasagna was the best he's ever had. Looked at what other patrons ordered and was impressed with the amount of the pasta plates and the look of the meals. Will be returning to sample other meals. Our server was the best!!! Sonia was very attentive, professional and is easy to talk to with a great sense of humor. I saw how she interacted with other customers, and she was genuine and sincere. When we return, I will be requesting her section. Great food and reasonable prices. read more

Food was amazing! Got the lasagna- delicious and filling. Also, the pastrami pizza, it was so good. Came in on a Friday, got seated quickly. Nice staff, the food portions are generous. Overall will return for dine in. I had to grab their seasonal short bread cookies to-go for dessert , one word delicious. They were soft when I took a bite and love how they say merry Christmas! read more

Been a while since I had pizza here. To be honest, the quality went down but now it looks like it's on its way back up again ordered pizzas twice and both were perfect pepperoni extra cheese and the house special ordered well done and they were great. read more

Not too many places around like this that exist anymore. Places that held true to their guns... keeping the same recipes/flavors, and keeping the same look inside not falling to modernized crap. Got introduced to this place as a little kid getting their stuff from the carnival at St. Dominic Savio.. slices of really good pizza and submarine sandwiches . When I moved away I'd make a point to get this stuff. Back now and love it read more

Traditional, family friendly, good value for money spent; most importantly the best pizza in Downey. Pasta recipes are delicious. Aglio Olio that I crave between visits. A true treasure that does not disappoint. read more

Hits the spot. Nothing exciting but very consistent. Doesn't taste like cardboard like alot of pizzas do. So thats a plus. Service is good. Ive had it several times will keep going. Customer for life. Pastas are bland. So I stay away. Pound cake or butter cake they have are delicious. read more

From the time I made my large order for a small birthday party, they were attentive and thorough from ordering in advance to my pick up time. They said they didn't make one pizza half and half like I requested, so they were making me another one and they added it plus an extra sausage pizza. They owned an easy mistake and gave me 3 for 1!! I highly recommend this business. Some chain restaurants are losing this personal attention that most of us still want. Small businesses need our support. They've been in Downey since the 1950s. They know what they're doing. The food is SO good. read more

Delicious pizza with fresh ingredients. It's our go to pizza restaurant and we are never disappointed. Even their sandwiches are on point!

Great food, Pizza's very good, they always aim to please, come with a good appetite!

We are so glad to have tried this place. My wife, 2.5 year old and I had a car repair. I had seen this place walking by in the past. My mechanic recommended a few of thier dishes. Everything was so good and home made. I did the chicken parmigiana sandwich on garlic bread. My wife had the Aglio Olio (added shrimp) and it was the perfect olive oil and garlic sauce. They also have great options for kids :) Highly recommend for good eats! read more

Took forever to get a menu, and to get our food. Pizza had good flavor but it was soggy. My girlfriend asked our waitress if it usually takes this long, and she responded with it depends on the cook. The only woman that really helped us out was Kat. Thanks kat! read more

Owner is super nice, food is amazing especially the pizza, and the wait time is also surprisingly fast. Best pizza in Downey, maybe the world. read more

Forgot to take photos of the food but it was so delicious!! Love how they make their dough fresh daily, you could really taste the difference. We also ordered wings as an appetizer & they were so big and flavorful can't go wrong with any of the flavors. I think we ordered all but the garlic parmesan. Even as leftovers the food was amazing! We love to support small local family businesses in the area. Please give them a try you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much to the amazing staff! We can't wait to be back read more
