I've been to Pit Fire Pizza twice now and both experiences have been great. The restaurant itself has such a cozy atmosphere, it feels modern and clean, but the wood accents and overall design make it warm and inviting rather than cold or trendy for the sake of being trendy. The service has been consistently friendly and attentive both times I've visited. The food has honestly been fantastic. This has quickly become my go-to spot when I want a really good pizza made with fresh, quality ingredients. The dough is one of my favorite parts, not too heavy, not too thin, and it has the perfect crisp to it. Their macaroni and cheese was amazing too. You can tell they use good quality cheese because it wasn't oily, clumpy, or overly greasy like a lot of places. Everything was smooth, rich, and well balanced. I also tried the broccolini, which tasted really good overall. Personally, I would've loved a little garlic on it and for it to be cooked slightly softer since it was still pretty crunchy, but that's just my own preference and not really a complaint. The Caesar salad was excellent as well. It is a little pricier compared to some other pizza spots nearby, but honestly not by much, and when you compare the ingredient quality and overall experience, it's absolutely worth it. read more

5/5 - Mac and Cheese I thoroughly enjoyed the mac and cheese. It wasn't heavy or overly oily like some places tend to make it. The charred breadcrumb topping added the perfect crunch, and the portion size was ideal for two adults. It had that perfect cheese pull--and then some. 5/5 - Pepperoni Pizza (with added sausage) The pizza was excellent. I loved that we could add sausage, and the crust was amazingly light. My partner likes dipping pizza in ranch, and the crust (especially the edge) was perfect for that. If you're not a fan of overly saucy pizza, this is definitely for you--the sauce doesn't overpower the sausage or pepperoni. The cheese was evenly distributed, so every bite felt balanced. 3/5 - Broccolini The broccolini was just okay. I liked the char and the slight smoky flavor, along with the hint of lemon and cheese on top. However, I wish it had been blanched a bit more, as it was crunchier than I prefer. The tops were slightly over-charred for my taste, and the texture didn't quite come together. You order before being seated, which is a bit different, and then it's open seating--bar seats, booths, or tables depending on your preference. We chose a corner booth since there was a birthday party in the center of the restaurant. The space can comfortably accommodate groups of 5-10 people. One thing to note (not the restaurant's fault) is that there were children running around quite a bit, which made it feel a little chaotic at times. Since there aren't any activities or designated areas for kids, it would be nice if parents were a bit more mindful so everyone can enjoy their dining experience. The servers were extremely nice and attentive, especially when it came to refilling drinks. You may need to check in with them for things like to-go boxes, but overall the service was solid. Overall, I would come back again. read more

Went to Pitfire Pizza today and the mushroom pizza was the best thing we ordered. Really good flavor, lots of mushrooms, and the crust had that nice chewy wood-fired texture without being too heavy. Simple pizza but done right. Good spot for families too. Plenty of space inside, easy to sit with kids, and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. Didn't feel rushed and food came out at an average time, not too fast not too slow. Overall solid pizza place and I'd come back again, especially for the mushroom pizza. read more

You order and pick where you want to sit. Pretty spacious inside with plenty parking outside. Now to the food.... the pizza was burnt on the bottom, I can make better spaghetti meatballs (I don't even cook like that btw) lol and the macaroni cheese was the only okay dish. The texture was good for macaroni and cheese but I def expected better tasting pizza. read more

Amazing pizzas. The margharetta and pepperoni are our favorites. Don't forget to request Wiki sticks fir the kids. They will love them.

11/11/25 Tuesday Stopped by for lunch and arrived a little early so they weren't open yet. They open at 11 AM. We were the only ones there for the first hour. When we attempted to order, they ran out of chicken meatballs and apparently could not make chicken wings either because they were still cleaning the deep fryer. Disappointing since that involved most of the items we wanted to order. We settled on ordering a margarita pizza, bbq chicken pizza, and steak salad. They're known for their sourdough pie dough. Didn't know what to expect, but the pizzas tasted healthy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the flavor was lacking. Dough didn't taste sour despite being sourdough. Thin chewy crust. Fresh basil. Bbq pizza is too sweet. The pizzas were not hot... The steak salad was the saving grace. It was bomb. Tender steak and flavorful salad dressing and toppings! Very spacious venue suitable for large parties. There's even outdoor seating with cover. There is a parking lot. I can imagine it could fill up during busy times, but it was empty when we were there. read more

Great restaurant for a chill night out with friends for some pizza and beer. Large indoor area with lots of space. Big tables that can accommodate 12 people easily. I usually go during off-peak hours so seating has never been a problem, not sure how busy it gets at peak hour though. All their pizzas are delicious, thin crust, and flavorful and yet not overwhelming. Prices are intermediate so for a party of 6, ordering 4 pizzas, 2 salads, and 5 beers cost me about 150$ before tipping. Staff was friendly and vibes were good. Parking is easy, there's a lot and also street parking is very easy after 5pm. read more

This was my first time here. I came with a group of about 10 people or so. After walking in through their large sliding doors, I was surprised by how big the place really is. The dining area is pretty spacious and the tables were perfect for the size of my party. They even have an outdoor patio area decked out with a fireplace and everything. The workers were very friendly and explained everything to us. Including their new seasonal menu items. When our food came, the pizza was hot, the crust was thin and flaky. All the ingredients are fresh and tasted amazing. We came in on a Saturday afternoon and the place wasn't crowded. We did have kids in our party, but this place does serve alcohol and has TV's set up throughout. I'm thinking this would be a good place to watch any major sporting event. So, that means I'll have to add this place to my list of places to go and keep this place in mind when I want to watch the big game. read more

Dined in for lunch on 11/11/25 at 11:00 am. We were the first ones there. We tried ordering chicken wings, but the fryer wasn't ready. Then we tried to ask for chicken meatballs, but they didn't have it. We were disappointed we wanted to try their appetizers, but maybe we were just too early. Service: quick, you just order up in the front and they bring the food to you Parking: small parking lot, so you will have to park on the street Food: - Steak salad: 4/5, good flavor, but a tad too sweet for me. The steak was tender and the salad was fresh. I would ask for dressing on the side next time. - Margherita Pizza and BBQ chicken pizza: 2.5/5, sadly the pizzas barely had any flavor. They both tastes almost too healthy. The crust was chewy with no seasoning or flavor. The toppings didn't stand out at all. Sadly, I am disappointed that the pizza was not good compared to the salad. The only good thing was the crust was apparently a sourdough crust, so it is healthier? Overall, we wouldn't be returning back. read more

Extremely disappointed on how few toppings were on the mushroom pizza. After adding prosciutto to the mushroom pizza, it still looked bare. BBQ chicken pizza had more toppings but had a piece of bone the size of a pinky nail. Someone can chip a tooth from the bone. Both pizza tasted delicious altho they had wide crusts. The restaurant charged $1.20 fee for employee health and added sales tax on top of this fee. This is our 1st time trying Pitfire pizza and we won't return. read more

Pitfire Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

No hostess - they asked that you "grab a menu and take a seat, then place order at counter." If you want refill on your drink, you have to take glass to the counter. When food is delivered, that is the time you asked for what you need (extra napkins, salt, pepper, etc) or else you're on your own. Customer service was just okay, when we did interact with the waitress, no personality or smile. The honey bear pizza was good, but not enough sauce and the chili on it was very spicy, too spicy! The salad and the pasta were good. Sadly, did not feel like we went out and dinner was served to us, minimal interaction with staff, and it was not pleasant. Doubt we will be back!!! read more

*** Takeout *** Union Pizza closed. That was the place nearby for Artisan pizza. Finally found something comparable. Delicious with a variety of pizzas, pastas, soup. Artisan pizza with crust that is not oily. We've ordered several times often going with a sausage pizza. Salads are refreshing. White bean soup was also hearty when we ordered it. Since we do takeout, sometimes I pop slices in the air fryer to warm it up. It is in our rotation when we aren't ordering regular pizza. read more

Ordered a Rigatoni Alla Vodka. Asked to make sure there is no meat. Come home to find meat in my order. There were two customers in the store. Absolutely no excuse to mess Up a simple pasta order. Jacqueline was so rude. Will never order from here again. read more

Love this place for dining in. Reasonably priced, tasty food with a menu varied enough to satisfy many preferences. I don't recommend ordering through a food delivery service if possible. The thin crust pizzas get cold fast. Also for some reason we've had our food stolen or delayed from this location multiple times. read more

I can't recommend this place enough. The pizzas are top notch. Plus they have a bar and happy hour. I live close so go there often. I love their pizzas! read more

Pitfire is one of my go-to's when I'm craving pizza! I love that they have seasonal options as well. I have yet to dine-in here so I can't comment on the atmosphere of the restaurant, but I always order from here and when I ask for substitutions on my order everything is always made correctly. My usual order is the Honey Bear pizza. I like the type of crust they have - it's not too thick, but not too thin either. I'll sometimes order the Cheesy Knots and Boneless Chicken Wings as well. The wings to be honest are more like tenders, but I enjoy both the flavors they have to offer. Also, to anyone who is obsessed with ranch like me - they have good ranch here! 10/10 will continue to keep ordering here and there's still so much I need to try! read more

I'm surprised at how much I liked this place. I'm not usually a fan of pizza but they had some good toppings. And their old fashioned was well made. -Margherita: Classic, and good cheese. -Burrata: Not bad but missing something to make it memorable. -Mushroom: I'm a fan. -Broccolini: Tasty and nice char. -Meatballs: Pretty good. Marinara was a bit more sour than I'd like. -Vegan Ceasar: Yum! This was super tasty and didn't miss the dairy at all. -Yuzu Strawberry Lemonade: So good! -Old Fashioned: Pretty good for being a pizza joint. read more

I think they combine ingredients really well to make a good pizza overall, but they fall short in some ingredients. I've only tried two of their pizzas - the Honey Bear and the Margherita - so my review is only good for those. Honey Bear really stood out with the honey and chili flavor, but the only thing I wasn't a fan of was how dry the ricotta cheese was. It wasn't that creamy and the texture was mainly cheese curds. Margherita is pretty basic and nothing really stood out about it when it comes to flavor. Tomato sauce was kind of bland. Pizza dough itself is alright. I enjoyed the thin sliced texture overall but the crust was too dense and not very airy. As a restaurant, I like that this place isn't too busy. I went on a Friday night and it was at maybe 25% capacity. The quiet ambience and plentiful seating make this place great for big groups. read more

We got pizza & wings which were really good. We liked how we payed at the beginning and we get to find our own seat. I enjoyed the service as everyone was so nice and friendly. The place itself is a 10/10 as everything is nice and clean and it wasn't that packed when we got there either. read more

I just came out of work, and I was looking for a pizza place to dine. This is the place to go. First time here, the lady who took our order was so nice and helpful. She recommended the Zoe's pepperoni, will 100% get again. And the boneless buffalo wings they were filled with flavor. You can't go wrong with the cheesy knots. Would recommend and 100% yes to this place. read more

Running round, running errands. The name had caught my attention before. Pulled over for a slice of pepperoni and cheese pizza. Amazing! I saw the spaghetti and meatballs on the menu and had to try. Amazing! Flushed it all down with a nice, crisp pale ale beer named: fight on! Met Jill, the manager at the bar working. She stopped what she was doing just to welcome me and all my "chatter." A huge pizzeria with all the right props and ambiance. I will be back asap...... Happy February! read more

I come to Pitfire Pasadena often and we love it here. Food, service and vibes are great. My wife and I recently had a baby shower here in their outdoor seating area and Caitlin (manager) and her team were fantastic. Coordinating with Caitlin was super easy and she and her team there made the experience very enjoyable. She let us bring deserts in from other places and accommodated every request we had. I can't say anything less than it's a fantastic restaurant, work with Caitlin if you're trying to have an event there. Thank you very much Pitfire Pizza Pasadena team, we will see you soon! read more

Cute shop with delicious food and a really welcoming vibe. We tried the kale salad, pizza, and mac and cheese, and every dish was excellent. The flavors were refined and thoughtfully prepared, yet still very kid-friendly, which made it a great spot for both adults and families. Overall, a lovely place we'd happily come back to. read more

Pitfire Pizza food and drink was excellent. I ordered the sausage party pizza and had the opportunity to try a topping I've never had before, Saba! It was a sweet sauce and a great compliment to this pizza. Pizzas are wood fired which adds so much flavor The service for carryout was excellent and quick as I only waited about 10-15 minutes for my food. I recommend having one of their cocktails while you wait for a carryout order or if you are dining in. The ambiance was very modern with an half-open kitchen which I always think is cool. It's also decently well ventilated inside so you can feel the ambiance of a pizza shop without burning up due to hot ovens. My only gripe is this location automatically adds a service fee to your order you can request to take it off but they do not inform you that it is on there, there is only a sign. read more

Great selection of artisan fired pizzas! Came here with a group and we tried: - Margherita: your basic pizza with mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil 5/5 - - Brussels and bacon: mozzarella, chile, lemon, garlic, parm 3/5 (not sure i like Brussel sprouts on pizza but others in my group enjoyed it) - Caesar salad 5/5 I really liked the dough at this place, it wasn't too thick or thin- kind of the right amount of dough you'd expect for pizza. There was burrata and mushroom on the menu also, I didn't get to try it but would try it next time. Vibe: lively and a great place for groups. Plenty of seating inside and free parking lot read more

The pizzas and salads are top tier - fresh and tasty. I rarely eat the crust on pizzas but with Pitfire pizzas, I just cant resist!

Was craving pizza in the Pasadena area for dinner and stumbled across Pitfire. It wasn't too crowded so we were able to walk up to order immediately. Afterwords it's self seating either indoors or outdoors. The outdoor seating area has a nice fire pit but is a bit loud since you're sitting directly next to Arroyo Parkway. We ordered a cheese and a Margherita pizza. The wait time was a bit longer since it was relatively empty. The pizza was a nice flatbread pizza with good taste. It was nothing mindblowing. They also have a nice bar inside making this the perfect place to meet up with a friend group. read more

This review is purely for their steak salad! I did have their pizza once but it was delivered and arrived cold so I can't fault them for it. My delivery person made a million stops before getting to me. I'm guessing the pizza is way better fresh at the restaurant! Anyway their steak Salad is seriously amazing! One of the best I've ever had! I'm addicted and been getting this delivered on the regular! From the greens to the candied walnuts, avocado, caramelized onions, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese. You can tell all the ingredients are fresh and good quality. I'm so impressed with this salad. Dressing is delicious too!

Back again to give place a second try. Usually don't even places a second change. But the owner and the staff are excellent. We ordered the linguine Bolognese and it was excellent. I was surprised on the green pasta but it worked greatly. Also ordered the cheesy garlic knots it was okay. But the kids loved it. And we got a large cheese pizza. Kids loved it. read more
