Delicious pizza and wings! I didn't know what to expect (just ordered from here on a whim) got the Margarita pizza kept it simple and then went a little extra by getting the wings and garlic/cheesy knots. This place is awesome! The wings were delicious and not too spicy. I prefer boneless and they were generous with the portion. The pizza itself was perfect. I prefer a thin pizza and this was just that with a hardy crust which made all the difference. Also the sauce to cheese ratio again 5/5 on that. Eager to try some of their other toppings soon. My only complaint is that the Garlic/cheesy knots were lacking in both cheese and garlic sadly :( So I probably wouldn't re-order those. Also they tasted bitter because the bottom seemed burnt. definitely will go back for the main event (Pizza and wings) not everything can be a win, but that pizza and wing combo was a 5/5 regardless! read more

This comes from someone who doesn't opt in for pizza by choice. However, I occasionally appreciate a fresh and flavorful pizza. Loved this place for a summer casual night out! Their pizzas are so amazingly tasty , and the staff are very nice and friendly . I loved the laid back vibe here . Looks like a very cool hangout place with cozy fire pits. I'm definitely going back and look forward to try their other items . We tried the mushroom pizza and the other one with meat , forgot what it was called . Both delicious. Didn't care much for the Caesar salad though. read more

This was my second time coming here on a weekday. I'm not sure how busy it gets on the weekends but the past two times the tables have been relatively empty there was a party taking place both times which was wholesome to see. The food was great we go the BBQ Chicken Pizza both times and it was delicious. Great portions of chicken on there plus the dough is soft with great Pitfire flavor. The interior has a lot of tables with some being outside but covered up. There aren't many TVs and some sides of the tables don't face any. You order at the register. Get a number. Then pick a table. We placed our order this second time and waited 30+ mins for our pizza and eventually one of their workers came to let us know she took it off our bill because of the wait. That was super thoughtful and generous. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for some great tasting pizza with great service/staff. read more

Hey! I just want to say, Pitfire reached out to me and I appreciate them trying to make it right. I know the business has little oversight as to the quality of the delivery services of third party companies. As a consumer it is frustrating! While I would gladly go in and purchase Pitfire pizza, I just won't order delivery. The pizza is great and satisfying! read more

Figured this was some type of Blaze Pizza clone so I never bothered. Finally tried it and looking forward to coming back! Boneless wings were weird cause they weren't by the piece but ounces. They were more like shredded chicken coated in breading and sauce. It was unusual, something i've never seen before but it was excellent! Pizza was also super crispy and thin with delicious and flavorful cheese and toppings. The brick oven really makes a difference. Went on a weekday afternoon so it was mostly empty but down to come during night time when the full bar is hopping. read more

On the eve of my soon to be 12 year old's birthday he requested a good pizza after a long day of soccer games. We were nearby so I Yelped a place and this was the first establishment that came up. Between my two boys' and their dad they thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, buffalo wings, and cheesy knots. Mama is on a special fast so she sat patiently and watched her family eat. It was almost closing when we got there and it was a Sunday night so it was not busy. Our order came out quickly and piping hot! Very spacious indoors and I believe there's outdoor seating as well. Will definitely be back to try other items on their menu. Give this place a go if you're craving pizza. My boys' loved it! read more

We've been here prior to the pandemic. Food was much better back than. Service was fine. We ordered our food without much wait. I ordered a couple of drinks and a salad. I thought they would bring it to our table like the food, but I had to back to the counter to retrieve them. When I got my salad, the lettuce was withered with brownish edges. Very disappointed. My friend ordered the same and got the same low quality, withered salad. On top of the bad food, we were heading to the parking lot when my young kid read out loud,"F*** China" that was painted on the curb of their parking lot. It wouldn't be too much to ask to remedy that situation with some paint. We will not be returning. read more

Pitfire is one of my favorite restaurant chains. I always order the same thing: linguine Bolognese paired with a small Caesar salad. I used to live in La Cañada, and the Pasadena location was just down the street from my house. However, about a year ago, I had a few negative experiences with the manager--so much so that I started driving all the way to the North Hollywood location whenever I craved Pitfire. Today, I happened to be in the area and decided to give the Pasadena location another try. I was warmly greeted by the manager, Jill, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming. I sat at the bar and received fantastic service from Ashley. It was such a great experience--thank you so much. It truly feels like the energy and atmosphere of this location have completely transformed. read more

The food was so good! The salad was really yummy. It had a sweet taste. The kids pasta was so buttery and cheesy and yummy! The HONEY BEAR pizza was really delicious. It was sweet. I could really taste the honey. The service was quick. It only took like 5 mins to get my food. The ambiance was really great. So modern. Overall the pizza was so good! That's why I rated it 5 stars. I recommend this place to Pizza lovers. read more

Pitfire Pizza - HONEY BEAR And fork - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

We always wanted to try this place and finally had the chance to do so this weekend. The dining area is spacious, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It's like fast food pizza where you place the order at the cashier and then you find your own seating. They have a small bar near the cashier with some seats available. The pizza dough is hand tossed and made to order. I think the dough is a bit dry and flavor is okay. The spaghetti meat sauce is on the sour side. But the chicken and mushroom pasta was very good. read more

Pepperoni pizza - it was just fine. A lot of the crust was burnt underneath and ruined the whole flavor. Baked Mac and cheese - do NOT get this. Probably the worst Mac and cheese I've ever had. The cheese did not stick to the noodles at all and just clumped together, and the noodles were swimming in a gross soupy milk mess. I'd been here before Covid and remembered it to be pretty good, so I thought I'd meet up with a friend here for weekday lunch. Not sure what happened but this place definitely went downhill. read more

We had the spaghetti with chicken meatballs spaghetti and sausage pizza. Our friends got the kale salad and another pizza. I like the sausage pizza. It was thin crust and the pizza sauce is a bit different from regular pizzas. It had a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, I liked it. Our order of chicken meatballs spaghetti was disappointing. The meat balls was dry and hardly had any flavor. The chicken mushroom macaroni pasta my friend ordered was good. Next time, i will order it for myself. Service was good. Staff was helpful. read more

We've been going to Pitfire Pizza since they opened on Arroyo. We always like their pizza. Good crust good toppings. Today was a bad and good day. The meal was a loss. The Pizza was cold (might have been due to Grubhub) and the kale salad was old and unbearable to eat (not the first time) so we threw it out. $18 bucks! That's the bad news. The great news which redeems Pitfire is the fact that Customer Service is not dead. I called to complain ,which I never do, about the bad salad and asked for the manager. I failed to get her name but she was absolutely fantastic! It wasn't the usual negative response. She offered to send over another salad but my wife wasn't hungry anymore so we declined. But she then offered to send another pizza. That's what I call a commendable manager. I wish I got her name. I would like the owner to see this review personally thank the manager. She deserves a bonus. read more

Amazing food and great service! Great vibes! Family really enjoyed it. Definitely will be back!

I tried Pitfire today for the first time, via UberEats delivery. Not sure I really had expectations (maybe thinking it'd be something like Blaze?). I was pleasantly surprised. Pitfire makes delicious and unique artisan-style pizza! First things first: the pizza size is generous. I thought they maybe made small 8" personal size pizzas based on menu pics, so I ordered one each for myself and my wife. I was surprised when 13" pizzas arrived. The packaging was great, and the crust, toppings, and texture were all high quality and complemented each other well. You can't create your own pizza (not on UberEats, at least), so all the pizzas are their creations. I'd say the crust was thicker on the edges vs something like Blaze. The center was thinner, like a Neo pizza but this wasn't a Neo. Secondly, the menu rocks. They have unique pizzas to pick from, pastas, salads, desserts, large sharable portion options and more. Something for everyone. I'd gladly order from here again. Keep it up, Pitfire! read more

Great food. The pizzas were chewy ( good thing) and crunchy on on the outer crust. Loved the sauce and chicken meatballs. We didn't finish the 3 meatballs with two people. We paid the extra $5 to fill up our wine glass but probably should have seen a normal pour first. Decent wine selection with all Major varieties. The service was friendly and fast. However the table bussing was way way behind. With limited seating this only left two tables for us to choose and none outside - the only reason I pulled back a star. They are doing social distancing and wiping down after customers. I have would recommend and come back the next time I am I. Pasadena. read more

We had a great time eating here on a Saturday night. You order at the counter, find a seat/table, and then the servers will deliver your foods. It's a spacious, fun, laid back place that's great for big parties. There's a full bar serving cocktails, wine, and beer. We ordered the chicken meatballs, bbq chicken pizza, a margarita, and an old fashioned. The drinks are very strong and taste like pure alcohol. The chicken meatballs were juicy and drowned in a margarita sauce. Those were better than the pizza. The bbq sauce was too sweet and overpowering. I would have preferred chicken chunks rather than shredded chicken on the pizza because it tastes like Costco's rotisserie chicken. I wouldn't order the bbq chicken again but am open to try another flavor. The manager was very sweet and energetic, and she even offered us a complimentary chocolate chip cookie to try! The cookie was crispy on the outside and gooey/chewy on the inside. read more

I ordered this pizza for delivery. It came and it was still warm. I think in store, this pizza has the potential to be bomb! I added chicken to this and I could have left it off. The mushrooms assortment was enough. It probably would have gotten more stars had i left the chicken off the pizza. The chicken ruined it because it was dry and over cooked. I didn't have an opportunity to redeem them while here for a work trip. Give it a try, you may love it at the store! read more

Update: Okay, tried PFP again today because I was jonesing for pizza. Gluten free crust is still the best. However, I thought because I ordered a margarita pizza last time I got blobby vegan cheese, which I did not order this time...thinking I may get shredded vegan cheese, wrong. The only vegan cheese they have is the blob which isn't really the experience I want because you end up with (see pic) tomato bread basically. And for $2.50 PER additional topping, I got like 10 pepperonis and 7 pieces of sausage. Pretty lame. The hunt for a go-to pizza spot continues. read more

Recently discovered Pitfire Artisian Pizza and honestly where have you been all my life?! I'm a huge mushroom lover and their Fieldwork Mushroom is TOP NOTCH. I love how their crust isn't too thin or too hard, it's doughy and soft that it's easy to eat! Another spot that makes bomb mushroom pizza is CPK Wild mushroom (absolutely loveee). I've also tried their Honey Bear (added mushroom) and the Pizza Party. The honey bear was good especially if you like Mariana sauce. The Pizza Susage Party was a bit too salty IMO, but the base is really good. read more

When Pitfire opened in this location my excitement level was palpable. I remember when it was Sizzlers. I had been previously driving to the North Hollywood location. The variety of dining options and great service in the early years were worth the frequent visits. I've noticed over the past year the service experienced at this location has declined significantly. Every time I place an in person order with a rotating list of staff it's as if ordering is a burden. I have ordered catering for work events,brought friends and colleagues. Today's experience left much to be desired, as I placed the order I let the cashier know I checked in on yelp for the 10% and showed her my phone, she immediately quips "is it a screenshot?" I perplexed state it's the yelp platform you can see it here, she then volunteered that she did not know how to apply the discount and went to get a manager. The is it a screenshot comment was bizarre. Fast forward 30 minutes I'm now watching other to go orders receive their meals ahead of me, I was told they prepared the wrong item and were now making the replacement. But this information was only provided after I patiently inquired. As a fan of the chicken & meatball pasta dish, I am not a fan of receiving attitude as a side dish. When I was provided my meal the manager begrudgingly threw a "cookie" inside no apology no explanation. I will also be writing a letter to the corporate offices as today's experience was unbelievable. read more

Pitfire is a good pizza shop. You order at the front and your food and drinks are served to your table. The staff here is very friendly and the restaurant is very spacious. The items are a bit pricy for me, but they have different options for vegans and lactose intolerant diners, which helps my nephew. They also have a full bar and a bunch of craft beer options so that makes me happy. read more

[Review #530] 2020 Yelp 100 Challenge (35/100) I spent most of the day taking care of my brother after his medical appointment so he "paid" me with a meal from Pitfire Artisan Pizza. We called in for pick-up; I chose a side of FIRE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER (mint, butter, red chili) & THE BURRATA (caramelized onion, arugula, pesto, hazelnuts), & my bro wanted ZOE's PEPPERONI (pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil), & LINGUINI BOLOGNESE (spinach linguini, housemade ragu). His place is about 15-mins. away so we left right after ordering & only had to wait a couple of minutes after our arrival. Like most restaurants that decide to stay open for takeout or delivery, the dining room looks immaculate & desolate. ( T __ T ) The cashier/server looked a bit worn but still kept a cheerful demeanor. We made sure to tip well... even during the best of times, this industry is rough, & I would know since I've been in it for more than a decade, starting as a child helping my Dad's restaurant with dining room set-up. The drive home was challenging with the delicious smell wafting from the trunk & my stomach growled in anticipation to sink my teeth into a slice. I'm either tired from the housework, starved (lunch was more than 6 hours ago), or both, but the scents were wreaking havoc on my senses. I drove as quickly & safely as I could, likely the traffic god was lighting my way, providing mostly green lights en route home. =) The food didn't even make it to the table as I grabbed a slice once I crossed the threshold. The pie was still rather hot so I noshed on it carefully to avoid burning my mouth. Aaaugh... this pizza is freakin' fantabulous! Crisp, thin crust, generous sauce without damaging the crust's integrity, creamy melt-in-your-mouth burrata, sweet caramelized onions, peppery bites of arugula, layered pesto for depth of flavor, & crunchy hazelnuts for texture makes for an especially yummy pizza. The roasted cauliflower was also quite delicious & has a nice little kick at the end from the red chilies. I ate it mostly as a standalone, & I also cut some into smaller pieces to add on top of the pizza. Soooooo, soooooo good! =) I exchanged a slice for the pepperoni pizza. Classic flavors, & done well. My only issue with the food is that it's substantially greasy. In fact, there was so much oil from the pizza boxes that it stained the coffee table with it. :-| Luckily it was glass so it cleaned off easily. Service was prompt & friendly. Bright & spacious dining room that I can imaging being bustling with lunch & dinner crowds. Most restaurants in or around Old Town Pasadena do not have private lot so it's a surprise to see Pitfire's, which is located behind the restaurant. I'm not sure of the going rate for individual pies, but our total for just the 2 of us seems pricey. Unlike Chef Silverton's famed pizza joint in Hancock Park, that's an artisan pizza worth every cent minus the grease. Yeah. I still like this pizza place, & I probably won't go out of my way to eat here (it's over an hour drive for me) unless I'm visiting my brother. But for the locals with stay-at-home cravings, add a little fire to your lunch or dinner plans with some yummy pizzas from Firepit Artisan Pizza. Recommended: The Burrata, Zoe's Pepperoni, & Fire Roasted Cauliflower. read more

First time visit. It was a weekday. The pizza was fine. There wasn't anything special about it, but it was good. I am glad the bottom was not burnt as previous reviews had shown black crusts. The best part of the meal was the side salad that I got with the shallot vinaigrette. I also wanted some ranch for the salad. Little did I know that asking for ranch would be considered a dipper, and I was charged $2! I felt I should be told that it was a $2 up charge. The craft draft I had was Eagle Rock Belgian white. It was good. The true reason for the 3 stars was the state of the tables. Every single booth that had been occupied before and while we were there were never bused. I only saw one person bus one table in the hour or so I was there. It was gross to look around at all the dirty tables. I am figuring they were short staffed, but they were not too busy to keep the place clean. Not sure I'll be back. I would go if someone wanted to, but probably would not go out of my way to return. Too bad. Looks like it would a cool pizza joint to frequent. read more

Pitfire Pizza - Dining area - Pizza Near Me - Pasadena, California

My friend decided to plan a get-together at Pitfire for a large group of us - there was actually way more people who ended up coming, so our large party took up two long tables. She primarily chose this location because of the convenient style of ordering at the counter - very similar to fast food, except they bring the food out to you once it's ready. You don't have to worry about paying at the end or splitting checks, etc. This restaurant specializes in pizzas, sandwiches, and pastas - similar to Stonefire Grill. Menu has a good list of set choices, but they also switch it up every so often with seasonal favorites. I ordered the pesto chicken pizza - $12 for 11". Pizza can come folded or unfolded, and if you check-in on Yelp, you get a small discount. I thought the pesto chicken was alright. There's four cheese, basil, and red onion as well as chicken. Taste was a little underwhelming, but it wasn't too bad. I think after eating one slice, the taste was a little redundant and needed some sort of kick. Pizza was quite oily and there was really nothing special about the overall taste. I tried the Field Mushroom, and the flavor of that was also very similar to the Pesto. Maybe because of the way the pizzas are all cooked, but all of the ingredients kind of blended together. Another person ordered the Honey Bear pizza and thought that was a flop. Shaved kale salad ($11) wasn't bad - good taste and there was enough dressing throughout the dish that I didn't feel like the vegetables were too dry. They also have a bar area for drinks as well as an open kitchen. Workers were super friendly despite us being a large table. The several friends who ordered beers were happy with their drinks. This place is great for large parties though, with a ton of space. I think they even let you rent out the seating area if you want to host an event. tl;dr - Food is alright. I think I would not specifically eat here unless somebody else really wanted to meet up at this restaurant. Food was decent, but nothing special . read more
