So happy Pitfire has salads and great ones at that! The family wanted carbs so I always worried about what I was gonna eat! I had the steak salad and it was delicious. Steak was well done and add the avo, tomatoes, and shallot dressing, it was perfect! read more

Pitfire Pizza - LRG STEAK SALAD - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

Ok, I never leave bad reviews because I feel like most people just whine for the sake of whining. I've eaten at a few Pitfire pizza locations over the last decade or so and I've always enjoyed myself but today was pretty bad. My daughter and I arrived at 6pm, ordered a Cesar salad and 2 pizzas and just left at 7:10 with our pizza's in a to-go box. An hour. For 2 pizza's. I mean at least give your customers a heads up if you're slammed and the food is going to take a little longer than normal. But no, not this time. After 45 minutes I went to the counter and expressed that we had somewhere to go and we'll just take the pies to go. All that was said to us was "I don't know what else to say but sorry." Ok, well so am I. Sorry that there are so many other awesome pizza joints in this town to throw my hard earned money at. read more

I am so grateful that this place offers both Pizza and Mac and Cheese. That is all that is consumed in my household so it's nice to go out once in a while and have someone else make it this time. I have to say, this baked Mac and cheese is legit, so good. Usually baked mac and cheeses are usually really dry and not really very cheesy but this one somehow kept its gooiness and pasta moisture. The dough for the pizza is soft, chewy, dippable and doesn't get stale when it cools. But the real reason that I felt compelled to write a review is because I LOVE their playlist. Within the same visit, they played 311 and ABBA. Two groups that legit made me sing along and bounce in my seat. I'm sure there were other bangers that came on, but I only noticed them during breaks in the conversation to stuff my face. read more

3.7 stars As far as pizza places go, this isn't bad. The interior design has an industrial vibe to it with plenty of seating for small and large groups. The staff are quite nice. These were my orders: Spaghetti & Chicken Meatballs ($16): Not the best marinara sauce I've had, but I imagine someone more health-conscious than I am will appreciate it! The meatballs were seasoned well...I just wish it was a tad less salty. Portion was generous. 3.4/5 stars. Kid's Pepperoni Pizza ($9): Delicious! I liked the airy crust and the perfect amount of cheese, pep, and sauce ratio. 4/5 stars Free parking on site. This business charges a 3% surcharge. Accepts card and cash. And this location wasn't crowded at 1pm-ish on a Sunday. I would come back. read more

Pizza looks good but the dough was flavorless, dense, and lacked any crust crunch. Overall flavors felt unbalanced, nothing memorable. Cheese knots used the same bland dough with barely any cheese or garlic parmesan. The restaurant had no real identity, and our beers were flat with no head. Average at best. read more

My favorite pizza spot in all of a Pasadena !! I get the field mushroom and add sausage!!! Mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts is my fav too!! 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

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

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

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

After spending $50 at Pitfire, my family wanted to sit down and eat there. My 11-year-old son wanted a burger from next door, so we got him one while the rest of us ordered from Pitfire. A staff member came up to us and said, "Make sure you take your Shake Shack trash with you." I could understand the concern if we hadn't spent money at Pitfire, but we did. We were paying customers sitting down to enjoy our meal as a family. It's hard enough getting an entire family to agree on one restaurant, especially with kids. The comment was unnecessary and honestly just a poor way to treat customers. A little common sense and hospitality would have gone a long way. 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

Always good food and easy atmosphere! Their roast chicken pasta is so good! Cant go wrong with their pizzas too 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

Food was really good love the honey bear and the wings very yummy and great service as well

The pizza was very good! New pizza place to go to. The flavorful pepperoni and the cheese was good. I also recommend the steak salad.

Pizza was ok. Friends got their pizza our came about 20 minutes later?? Ask for water had to flag someone down because no one was at front counter Tables dirty we got there around 6:00 on Saturday Floors dirty We did have the strawberry shortcake dessert it was to die for The worst I think was ladies restroom unacceptable makes you wonder about kitchen 71.00 for 4 Probably would not come back well maybe for strawberry shortcake dessert The place was filthy read more

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

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

Great food and the server Paulina was very polite. We ordered buffalo wings and a honey bear pizza and it was very tasty.

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

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

*** 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

Can't find where to use a gift card we received online, so I sent my daughter to place the order to pick up. She's been there an hour. Still no pizza. They burned one and showed it to her and they asked if she wanted it to be re-made. Even burning it, it should not take an hour. She's texting me, very frustrated. She said it's not crowded at all. 9 years after my first review, and still the same issues. read more

Pitfire Pizza - Burnt hard pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

food was decent but the restaurant was kind of dirty for being empty. that aside, i won't come back due to this this little message at the cash register: "There will be a 3% Happy and Healthy Surcharge added to your bill. This charge is not a gratuity, but rather supports our ability to provide sustainable earnings and benefits for our team." i have no problem tipping and always will but it shouldn't be the customer's responsibility to pay your employees a living wage and health benefits. you're their employer, not us. yes, you can ask for it to be taken off your bill, which i did, but also you shouldn't put people in the awkward position to have to do that. i rather places raise their prices than do this. do better. read more

Just went into Pitfire Pizza in Pasadena tonight for the first time. Who says customer service is dead?! Ashley greeted me warmly and offered me a place to sit down and look over the menu. She was extremely helpful, listened to what I like and made suggestions without being over the top. She also offered me an ice cold water to drink while I waited. She even offered to show me pictures of what the pizzas looked like to help. Ashley was a 10 out of 10 employee. What do they always say, you only get one chance to make a great first impression, and thanks to Ashley, I felt comfortable and welcomed tonight. After an extremely stressful and hot day, her kindness and professionalism was a welcome treat. 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.

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 had been to Pitfire with a friend and thought it would be a nice place to bring a large group. So I made reservations a week ahead since there were 13 of us. I was excited to have a nice time with my group. Instead, the AC was not on so it was super hot. We were all sweating while eating really hot food. Even though there were no other customers there at that time, no one checked in on us for water or for napkins or anything. I don't have bad things to say about the food, but the service and the ambience were really lacking. It was a very disappointing experience. read more

I love the interior of this place! There's a lot of seating and it's very open. A great place to have a chat and a meal with some friends! Dining in, you order at the cashier and they give you a number that you bring to your table and they will deliver the food to you. We ordered the little gem Caesar and the cheese pizza. They were good, but not outstanding. Service was good. 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
