Burnt pizza
Suzette F.

I ordered door dash and I was so excited to try the chicken crust pizza with pesto, salami, sun-dried tomato but I arrived burnt and the sun dried tomatoes were charcoal. I tried to eat it but there was $30 down the drain. So disappointed.

Pizza Man is located at 1306 East Colorado Boulevard Pasadena, California 91106. It is a short walk from the busy corner of Hill Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. Pasadena City College is also within walking distance. This area is a great place to enjoy California weather. This business location is easy to find walking or driving. When I walked in I was immediately hit with the aroma of flavorful food. This is a nice cozy pick up and carry business. After walking by some tables and chairs, I made my way to the counter. A staff member greeted me and requested my order. I was able to ask some questions about the types of food that they had available. They are known to have a great selection of pastas and sandwiches as well as their ever popular pizza and Chicken Wings. I decided to order a medium Meat Lovers Pizza and Chicken Wings with blue cheese dressing on the side. The first piece of pizza had great coverage of meat and cheese. The toppings had a great aroma as I unpacked each piece from the box. The crust was done to my instructions...a little crisp with a little crunch. I was impressed. Next I tried the chicken wings and was happy to see that they were plump and looked done right. Both the drumsticks and the flats had great flavor even without the dipping sauce. The chicken wings were moist and tender. I look forward to stopping back in to experience their sandwiches and salads. Parking is available on the side street. I'm happy that I can walk comfortably.

The amount spent for over cooked/Dry chicken and pizza that did not resemble any pics on their yelp or website

$200 on 3 "big man" pizzas (that did not look ANYTHING like their signature pizzas) and 28 pieces of chicken. Every single piece of chicken was OVER COOKED AND DRY. So much so the meat had shrunk and separated from the skin. No juice AT ALL. Individually we all figured "its probably just the piece i have" Until everyone we for seconds and realized it was the whole batch that was like this. Obviously by this point we are on pieces like 8-13 or so. Nearly half way through the chicken. We decided to give the establishment a call and see what if anything could be done considering the amount spent. The over all response was "Sometimes that happens" "What do you want us to do about it" And not in a tone of actually offering any type of help or resolution. Also these are the places asking for Tips on take out service lol when did that become a thing? Moral of the story. Dont order big here. If you order at all. We wont be anymore.

This "side salad " is $3.99. Don't order. It's horribly overpriced.

Pizza is fine. We like the variety of options for toppings for the pizzas. Just don't order a "side salad". The "side salad" is a loosely packed 8oz. container and is $3.99.

Large supreme pizza with extra mushrooms
Wayne G.

Ordered a large supreme pizza with extra mushrooms today with regular crust. The pizza was pretty good. Crust is thinner than other pizza places I've been to but this is what I prefer. Marinara sauce was seasoned just right and not overly salty. Pizza hit the spot. I'm happy. Would definitely order from again.

2 extra large pizza
Justtina E.

Absolutely the best spot for pizza near Pasadena City College and within walking distance of my house. Pizza Man has a variety of topping selections, which is great because my boyfriend has a rare allergy to pork. But at Pizza Man they have beef pepperoni for him to enjoy. We get a 2 extra large pizzas and array of sauces habanero mango, bourbon bbq, and marinara sauce are our favorites. The staff are always friendly, and huge supporters of women's sports! They advocate for more viewer engagement for women sports. The staff member at the time made a great point. How do we expect women athletes to be paid better if not equal to men. If we don't support them by watching their games. This definitely solidified my support for their business. The dinning space is nice and cozy but I have yet to dine in. The boyfriend and I tried looking to see if we have any pictures. But honestly we have none, we tend to just dig in as soon as we get home. That should speak volumes on how yummy their pizza is! But we do have a picture of our receipt of what we order.

Pizza half gone in a few minutes

In the recent visit, I went here close to 3 PM on a Saturday. For a table of 3, we were able to get seated right away. At the time, it was a nice breeze outside so I asked for the outdoor seats. This ended up being a mistake since there were mosquitoes in the area! When it came to the food, I thought I'd try something new versus the carbonara that I tried and knew was good. Lasagna was the pick this time and it easily became the new favorite for me. It was a very savory flavor that hit the spot. Our table finished with a tiramisu, which was great as well. The quality remains consistent here as previous visits. Parking wise - There are some lots close by that I have parked at in the past. This time around, I was able to grab street parking. American Express is accepted here.

The only thing I feel like is missing is maybe some garnish cause the plate feels a little incomplete when it's just poured straight out of the pan and placed in-front of us. They have a pretty decent menu and I also really like that they have a taste by menu option for two so you can try more pastas. I tried the Cheese and Truffle tasting menu with the Tagliatelle in Truffle Sauce, Pomodoro, and Cacio e Pepe and because the Tagliatelle is so good I feel like it sets the other two up for failure. I think it would work better if the order that it is serve was reversed. I ended up not finishing the other two usually just because I'm a little disappointed after the big wow from the tagliatelle. For the tiramisu, I think it needs an adjustment in plating as well since all the coffee is pooled on the bottom which leaves the top feeling kinda dry and not having enough coffee flavor. I was feeling pretty disappointed and it was only til I got to the coffee that I was like oh this can taste good. The staff is very kind and friendly and are also helpful when asking for recommendations. I also like the open kitchen concept and it's fun watching how each pasta dish is prepared.

From the host to the bartender and our wonderful server, everyone made us feel so welcome. The restaurant has such a warm, inviting atmosphere--it almost feels like being welcomed into an Italian family's home. I wish I remembered our server's name because he deserves a special shout-out! He spoke Spanish, which made the experience even more comfortable and enjoyable for me as a Spanish speaker. His kindness and attentiveness were exceptional--some of the best service I've ever received. We tried the local wild mushrooms (my absolute favorite!), roasted market carrots, beets, squid ink lumache pasta, and torchetti. Everything was delicious, and the pacing of the meal was just right. To finish, our server treated us to complimentary guava and mango ice cream with chamoy. Such a thoughtful gesture and a lovely way to end the meal! I've only been once, but I'm already looking forward to going back. Union really made an impression. Highly recommend!

They also make sure to stress that dishes don't arrive together. It's mainly a pasta restaurant, why can't the kitchen push out pasta orders together? The first time we were there one of our three pasta dishes was literally ten minutes behind the other two. The most recent visit the restaurant was not full so the dishes largely came together but the pastas were sent before al dente. The soppresini wasn't al dente, it just wasn't fully cooked. The flavors of the dishes are really good but the execution is sub par. One of the folks at our table mentioned it was their birthday so without us asking they brought a scoop of ice cream with a candle which we thought was really nice of them. Then the bill came and we saw that they proceeded to put it on the bill for $6. Didn't want to make a scene but this is beyond tacky and overall I can say we won't be returning here anytime soon.

Cafe Santorini Review: A Charming Rooftop Restaurant in Pasadena…read more If you're looking for a restaurant in Pasadena with a beautiful rooftop patio, a lively atmosphere, and a variety of Mediterranean dishes, Cafe Santorini is a great option! I visited on a Wednesday night with friends. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a gorgeous evening. The rooftop setting, warm lighting, and lively ambiance made the experience feel special. I would definitely recommend requesting a terrace table, especially when the weather is nice. Our service was friendly, attentive, and professional. The menu is extensive, with Greek specialties, Mediterranean dishes, and pizzas. Reservations are recommended for busy evenings and preferred patio seating. Food Review -- Ranked from Favorite to Least Favorite Cioppino Santorini -- Favorite! The standout dish of the night! The tomato broth was rich, savory, and incredibly flavorful, with a delicious sauce that was perfect for dipping bread. The seafood tasted fresh, and every spoonful was satisfying. Definitely a must-order. Red Curry Seafood Risotto Loaded with mussels and clams and packed with flavor. The sauce was rich and delicious, making this another favorite. Branzino The fish was beautifully prepared, with crispy golden-brown skin and moist, tender flesh. Served over fingerling potatoes, with dill and capers adding a nice contrast to the fish. Very enjoyable. 4 Beef Brochette Tender beef cooked just right. A good option if you prefer meat over seafood. 5 Santorini Mezze Tasting A generous assortment of babaganoush, radish, feta, dolma, hummus, and tabbouleh, served with pita. The portion was large enough for approximately 4-5 people to share. Everything tasted fresh, and the dips were creamy. However, I personally found the hummus and babaganoush a little too salty. My friends loved the platter, so this may come down to personal preference. 6 Peach Please Decent, but nothing particularly memorable. 7 Gelato -- Vanilla & Chocolate The least impressive item for me. It was just okay, and I wouldn't order it again. Final Verdict What I loved: The rooftop terrace, lively ambiance, friendly service, and flavorful seafood dishes. What to order: Cioppino Santorini, Red Curry Seafood Risotto, and Branzino. What was less impressive: Peach Please and the vanilla/chocolate gelato. The mezze platter was also a little too salty for my taste, although my friends enjoyed it. Overall, Cafe Santorini is a lovely place for dinner with friends, date night, or a special evening out in Pasadena. The atmosphere is a major highlight, and several of the seafood dishes were genuinely delicious. I'd happily return for the rooftop dining experience and my favorite dishes! Pro tip: Request a terrace table and make a reservation if you're visiting during a busy evening.

The food was a complete disaster. Somehow it managed to arrive looking tired, tasting worse, and costing enough to make me question every decision that led me through the front door. I've had gas-station food prepared with more care. Then there was the bus boy. I'm still trying to figure out how someone whose job is supposed to help keep the dining room running smoothly managed to make the experience even more uncomfortable. The attitude was unbelievable. Apparently basic courtesy was not included with the meal. But the real highlight was the owner. You'd think someone who owns a restaurant would understand that hospitality involves actually caring about the people spending money in the establishment. Instead, the attitude was dismissive and completely uninterested in making a bad situation better. If this is how the owner handles unhappy customers, the rest of the experience suddenly makes perfect sense. And then they brought the bill. That was probably the funniest part of the evening. The prices belonged to a restaurant offering an exceptional dining experience. Unfortunately, nobody told the food, the bus boy, or the owner. I came in expecting dinner. I left feeling like I had paid admission to an expensive lesson about where never to eat again. Save your money. Save your appetite. Most importantly, save yourself the aggravation. I wouldn't come back if the meal were free.
