The pizza is always on point, the service is consistently excellent, and the place stays spotless whether you're grabbing a quick slice or picking up a full order to take home. It's small inside, just a handful of tables, but that's part of the charm. And then there's the Mrs. Pac‑Man table, the same table top game I used to play on back in elementary school over 45 years ago. Every time I sit down and hear those classic arcade sounds, it hits me with a wave of nostalgia that no modern restaurant can replicate. Miguel C. read more

My go to spot for pizza in Gardena. Perfectly cooked crispy golden brown crust. Pepperoni tucked underneath the cheese to prevent it from burning. Great process makes for great pizza. I got the Italian special and regretted not upgrading from small to medium after I finished the two leftover slices the next day . read more

Pizza was different but definitely good. Try the bulgogi pizza it's well worth it. We ordered online and pizza was hot and ready .

I haven't been here for a long time. Just thought I would drop by to pick up a pizza. This location has been here since I've been a kid growing up. Can't wait to try the pizza to see if it's like I remember it. The guys that work here are very friendly. It location still bring the family atmosphere and they have a few tables to dine in but mostly to go orders. They also offer lunch specials. read more

Got a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza ($15.07 for a large pizza and $2.12 for each additional topping). Nice doughiness for a medium crust. The sauce had a mild tartness. The cheese was nice and gooey. Service was very friendly. They're located in the Pacific Square center so parking will not be an issue. read more

As another yelper said before me...this place hasnt changed a bit. PIzza Machine has been a staple in Gardena for many years especially being located in Pacific Square. My guess is that Pizza Machine has been located in the same location and serving grear pizza for the last 40+ years. Maybe someone can fact check me on that. read more

Pizzas are very good with variety of special pizzas Calzones are also very good. Always get pizza to go usually about 10 minutes wait. Few tables more suited for take-out. Friendly staff. read more

Ordered for pick up & it was pretty good. We got the manager's special (basically a combo pizza w/ jalapeño) & the bbq chicken. The flavors are solid but there was way too much crust. It's pretty thick, so if you want a "regular" amount of crust, I recommend the thin crust. The crust also turned hard pretty fast, so watch out if you have loose teeth. They also charge $0.75 for a side of ranch (good value for to go sauce cup), which was much needed to balance the saltiness of the manager's special. Look forward to trying their calzone one day read more

Tried them for the first time. Ordered a pepperoni, you can tell they put care and love in the pizza. High quality ingredients and good dough. read more

Ambiance: it's located at the corner spot in the plaza, a hidden gem in the area Service: super friendly and patient with questions Food & Drink: plenty of choices for pizza, and you can choose to do half and half for certain toppings Manager's Special - **** Pepperoni, Onions, Sausage, Basil, Jalapenos, Bacon Bits, Mushrooms and Garlic Powder on top, bold flavors, recommend Hawaiian - *** Smoked Ham, Pineapples, Onions, Bell Peppers and Portuguese Sausage, sweet taste Sprite - *** canned drink Price: very affordable prices and decent quality, expect $15 per person for a very fulfilling meal read more

I am a fan of the bulgogi calzones. Heads up if you get it to go careful because it will leak some juices. This time I tried their bulgogi sub. It was amazing had to order a second one for later. read more

Pizza Machine - Pizza Near Me - Gardena, California

I've had this place bookmarked for quite sometime. Really curious about their menu because these are the kinds of pizzas you wouldn't typically find at regular pizzerias. But I'll admit, they kinda fell off my radar for a minute until GodDaughter and her fiancee decided to come over for dinner. They have this "we'll have the usual" cuisine for whenever they come over, but one night, they kinda decided to get off that track and wanted something different. I shot 'em a few links for a few eateries (this was #2) and low and behold, this won out the rest. Once they made up their minds as to why they wanted, off I went to put in the order for pickup. Walked in on a late Monday afternoon, and boy, they are busy! So busy that although I was acknowledged when I walked in, it took a couple of minutes for someone to get to me. Put in the orders and "20 minutes" they said. No biggie, I wanted to go to Tokyo Central next door anyway. Came through close to 20 minutes and they seemed even busier! Lots of pick up orders, phones were ringin' off the hook for both pick up and delivery orders... man! This place is popular! I'll admit, it took another 10 minutes before my food was ready. Didn't mind it so much, I wasn't really in a hurry. The drive home was almost like torture, my car smelled so delicious! I wasn't even hungry, but the aroma made me kinda drool! MEXICAN PIZZA: They asked if I wanted jalapenos or banana peppers. I asked if it was possible to get both. "Sure!" Generous toppings and distributed evenly. Each slice got the same amount of everything. Flavor profile was on point. Delicious! BULGOGI PIZZA: There was a lotta work (and a lotta love!) put in this pizza. The ribeye was the very center and star of this pie. Marinade was fantastic, meat was tender and the other toppings did their job of being great sidekicks. Highly recommending! SPICY WINGS: This needed work. It was dry, almost overcooked and seasoning needs some kinda umph. They were also smaller than what I'm used to... might just skip this next time. (Also got an order of garlic bread, but I didn't get to try it. I was told it was okay, though...) FOOD: 4.5. The pizzas were certainly a huge saving grace to the disappointing wings. And I have to mention: the dough, is what makes them. I might try thin versions next time! SERVICE: 3.5. Not a lot of interaction and later than the promised time, but they were busy, so... I'll most likely call it in next time. VALUE: 4. More quality than quantity! PARKING: Located in Pacific Square, shared with many other businesses. Lots of spots open anytime of the day. Not an issue. OVERALL: 4. Great first impression! Looking forward to that second visit to try their meat lover and pastrami versions! So if you're out to try an out-of-the-norm, different and unique pizza, this place might be a good start! read more

Unassuming place in an Asian strip mall. Very good pizza!!! Crust was great and good quality toppings. Putting this place on my rotation.

Number 1 best pizza in the South Bay. Service is excellent, ambience is awesome. Love this place.

Nostalgic place for me - i have been coming here for at least 45 years ( giving my age away ), and it is that good!! My friends who moved have asked me to pick up a calzone for them whenever I'm coming to visit....because it is that good! read more

I love this place. I have been coming here since I was a little kid. I always get their calzones, but their pizza is also really good. Definitely would recommend this place over any other Pizza Hut or Domino's people who work here are very nice and efficient and they had a recent remodel which has made it a little more up-to-date. read more

I originally went here just because it was close by, but it turned out to be a hidden gem of a pizza spot. The pizza has unique, creative toppings that you won't find at your typical place, and they actually taste incredible. The real star for me, though, is the calzone--it tastes like it was baked in a brick oven, with that perfect crisp and smoky flavor. It's seriously one of the best I've had. Definitely a secret worth sharing! read more

Tucked away in the back corner of the plaza, this place got my attention when I saw that they serve up a bulgogi pizza which is definitely unique. After finally checking this place out, I was pretty disappointed with my experience. We got a large manager's special pizza which basically comes with every topping you can think of. While I was happy with the amount of toppings it comes with, the pizza itself was terrible. The pizza was overcooked to where the cheese would just separate from the entire pizza with each bite. When you think of biting into a pizza, you think of the cheese being super stringy but that doesn't happen at Pizza Machine. There's no semblance of soft, stringy cheese. Needless to say, the crust was rock hard and tough. No doughy crust here! While I'm glad I supported a small business, I'm not sure I'll be going back... read more

Pizza Machine - Large Manager 's Special - Pizza Near Me - Gardena, California

This pizza store is located inside the Pacific Square shopping mall which is on Redondo Beach Boulevard between Western Avenue & Normandie Avenue. You will not have any difficulties finding your parking spot because of the large parking area except during busy lunchtime hours on Sundays as the lot may become very very crowded. This place seems to be the local favorite! And if you prefer something different, please try their Bulgogi pizza! A Korean flavor pizza may be the first for you. You also may try their calzones as this seem to be one of their specialties! Their service is polite and friendly, and their food is quite tasty! To satisfy your little hunger while visiting the Pacific Square shopping mall, I recommend this locally well-known pizza store! read more

Bulgogi calzone is epic! Level of spice is just right for me. I think it's real cheese but beware! Juice WILL drip!!

Great pizza joint. Every ingredient is quality stuff & very fresh. Cannot even look at Domino's after this. read more

I've lived within walking distance to Pizza Machine all my life. Last week I went in to order 2 large pizzas. It was delicious! I was able to speak to the owner. They are celebrating 50 years at Pizza Machine. If you've never been there you should really give it a go! It's in the Tokyo Central shopping or Pacific square. read more

Delicious pizza! Glad I found this joint. The crust was so yummy and it wasn't super greasy, which is what I like! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Awful pizza literally everything falls off from the pizza it is disappointing and would eat any other pizza even if ordered as take out and taken to home it is bad and would eat any other pizza place near by read more

The pizza was amazing. Everything was fresh, and I loved the fresh made pizza dough. It's worth every penny! Delivery was fast and friendly. I received updates from the time I ordered. Definitely will order from them again. read more

Top tier pizza. This has been the only place we've been happy getting pizza from for the last 4 years. Every once in a while, well check out a new spot but none hold a candle to the folks over at Pizza Machine! Get that XL managers special on thin crust. It is one of their best. Very flavorful with a good amount of spiciness. read more

This is by far the best pizza in Gardena. The service here is always quick and friendly.

My family and I found this place on yelp while we were craving some pizza. my family and I order a few of their calzones. The calzones are amazing!! We tried the Hawaiian calzone and their pepperoni calzone. their calzones here are so good! I liked their Hawaiian calzone the best! I really like the bread that they use in their calzones and the cheese and the bread really melts in your mouth. They also have a few other calzones options I definitely want to come back here and try some of their other calzones. If you are ordering a calzone I would recommend eating the calzones at the restaurant instead of doing delivery. the calzones taste best right when you order them. Note: They are located in the Pacific Square Market on Redondo beach Blvd, Gardena. Their is plenty of parking spots available and they are open from 11AM - 9PM. read more

Best calzones in so-cal! must try! i usually call before i go just so it can be ready when i get there. thank you as always for the delicious food read more

I always came here since I was a little kid, even when I was inside my mom's belly lol. To me this is the best pizza in the world. Me and my father usually come here on the weekends and it's super delicious. I love the pepperoni pizza here. The employees are kind and know what they're doing, good service, and the interior of the restaurant has a chill vibe to it, while you wait for your food to be ready, you can watch the tv, play the pac man arcade game they have, or just sit down and relax. The pizza has the perfect amount of sauce that you can taste with every bite and the cheese combines perfectly with that, their crust is amazing too, I love dipping it in the ranch. Will always keep coming here until the day I die. read more

My main reason is the pizza is not gresey. The ingredients are fresh, and they try really hard to please the customer. Good customer service. And they are very patient. My go to spot. read more

After hyping this pizza place up for years, I recently came back to buy a pie for my man. He loves pizza. We ordered a large deluxe, which comes with pepperoni, sausage, ham, portuguese sausage, mushroom, bell pepper, onion, olives, and mushroom. This is basically a Costco combo pizza. The pizza smelled and looked great coming out of the box. Lots of toppings and great looking mozzarella. The problem was the crust. Oh no, not the crust!! But alas, it was too bready, and too dry. I considered the taste to be fine, but the texture was unacceptable to the Mr., who looked at me askance. Weirdly, I took a few slices as lunch the next day, and after microwaving it, it was much better than before. Usually the opposite occurs, but at least this pizza redeemed itself a bit in that moment. read more

I love this place from the Subs to the pizzas. I always return for the pizza. Service is great.

One of Gardena's many hidden gems. Best pizza in town. Their lunch special is wallet friendly 2 slices and a drink for $5!!

Been coming here for years. Recently renovated. This place is the best. Thank me later.
