The food was delicious but thought it was kind of pricey but expected. It was cold outside and the outdoor heater was not working or the staff forgot to turn it on after being told it was too cold outside. Lacking attention in my opinion (IMO) read more

Incredible pizza. Got a whole white pizza and it was so cheesy and delicious. The pan was quite flat which I liked, but the sauce didn't go all the way to the edge so you end up with a lot of plain bread toward the end, which I got a bit tired of. Still delicious though. Took about 30 minutes from ordering to receiving it, which wasn't bad at all. Gave us time to walk around the neighborhood! Vibes were great. Only outdoor picnic-table seating but it was lively and fun. Parking lot is pretty limited but there's plenty of street parking, so not really an issue.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Prime Pizza - White Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Altadena, California

SO CLOSE! Prime Pizza - please get your act together. It's a pizza by-the-Slice base that's pretty solid (3.5/5). It's a very acceptable MID slice. A little dry. A little light on toppings. The square pies are a little better balanced than the round pies. It's pizza - pizza is always at least *kinda* good. BUT... They refuse to do call in orders ONLY for their pizza by-the-Slice... even in combination with other elements. My group orders... 1. A chicken parm sandwich! (order ahead - ready when you get here!) 2. A gluten free pepperoni! (order ahead - ready when you get here!) And... 3. 2 slices of hawaiian. ! NO PHONE ORDERS! It's literally ready now. They have a Hawaiian pie already made now. But they won't heat / or even put it in a box with the rest of the order. ***By-the-Slice CAN ONLY be ordered in-store.*** That's a hard and fast rule they won't break. Even as part of a larger order. "It's okay, it'll probably take about 5 minutes." -- That's still "about 5 minutes" I have to wait when I arrive to pick up my other items which are getting cold while I wait. -- That's after I waited in line with all the folks who didn't call ahead. -- AND that's assuming those slices are still available, when I finally get there. They're not? Then I'm calling back home to see what folks wanted instead - they no longer have Hawaiian. They seem kinda cool. They've got nice outdoor dining in Altadena, and both beer and single-serving to-go wine. TLDR: Prime - get your act together. The concept is: it's a by-the-Slice pizzaria. That's SLOWER than ordering pizza? read more

If you're looking to an alternative to Prince St Pizza this is the place. They offer slices of pizza but you can also order whole pies. We ordered the family meal 1 whole pie (we did half pepperoni for $2 upcharge) garlic knots salad (this salad was more of a individual size) vs a family size salad The pizza was the star of the show so I wouldn't go with the family meal again BUT there have so many different slices of pizza that I would rather get a mix and match We went on a Friday night and it was BUSY but our pizza and food came out within 20 minutes! read more

Prime Pizza - Burnt pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Altadena, California

I've heard nothing but rave reviews from friends and family about Prime pizza and had to give it a shot. They're mainly known for deep dish but to me the real winner was the regular pie. The bbq pizza was flavorful and I loved the addition of the jalapeños for that extra kick of spice. Their deep dish was okay. I ordered the cheese bc the other option had meats I don't eat and they don't do substitutes for the square pies. Nonetheless, service was great and the pizza was good. read more

I think Prime Pizza is the best New York style pizza you can get in the LA area. The pizza is really crispy, and they offer both round and square pies. You can order by the slice or get a whole pizza. My go to slices are the spicy pepperoni, classic cheese, and pepperoni. The hoagie is also very good and worth trying. The parking lot itself is small, but street parking is easy and usually not a far walk. Beyond the food, this location feels very community driven. You can really see it with Pasadena and Altadena merch being sold and the overall neighborhood vibe from the people here. Seating is outdoor only in a patio setup, and they have a big TV outside where they show sports, which adds to the experience. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to. read more

Prime Pizza is a very casual and delicious restaurant. The corner it's on is a little wonky but I think it actually adds to the charm. Parking is usually easy for me to find and then you walk past the patio into the establishment. The staff is always very friendly and the service is quick, both to take your order and to receive your heated up slice. Regarding the pizza, the slices are a generous size and the crust is perfectly crisp. I'm vegetarian and they have ample options at the counter, you can also customize pizzas if you want a different combination for a large pizza, I really enjoy the Sicilian because the pesto is so delicious! read more

Seen Prime pop up in all the delivery apps as well as Yelp, but never really thought too much about it cause it looked like any other pizza spot. My favorite is NY-style pizza and I haven't found a good one here... however, Prime is it! They're located up Allen Ave in Altadena and comes with a tiny parking lot. I ordered a pepperoni pie with sausage on half and fresh jalapeños and pineapple on the other. Seriously, I thought it was crazy (bad) too until I tried that combo--it's bomb af with a drizzle of hot honey. The crust was chewy in a good way and still pretty crusty after delivery. I wish burrata was an option but I'll add that myself next time. The slice hung almost exactly like the one I got from Joe's in NY, and say what you want about Joe's, I love it! I'll definitely return for my pizza fix. read more

Came here with a large group on a Sunday right when they opened. There was plenty of room for everyone and the 3 dogs and stroller we had with us, the patio gives a great vibe. Our group of 7 adults ordered 3 pizzas and we took 1 pizza worth of leftovers home. The garlic knots were incredible, the best thing we ate. The (round) pizzas were pretty good, not my favorite NY style pizza in the area but the flavors were fun and nothing was "bad." I've had the square pizzas from Prime before and they were way better, I'd stick with those in the future. I was really surprised by how affordable the beers were, $6 for a tall can of IPA is really reasonable. I gotta say this place has the BEST ranch I've ever had, its full of fresh herbs oh my gosh it's amazing!! I recommend coming here for a chill vibe with a larger group. read more

I want to eat this pizza everyday. No seriously. Going to tomorrow for lunch just to make sure they are still the best. I'll report back.

I was around Altadena and noticed this pizza spot with a steady flow of people coming in and out. I love supporting restaurants that were impacted by the Altadena fire, and this place definitely did not disappoint. We tried the following items: Spicy Pepperoni Pizza - Square-style Sicilian pizza done right. Not overly doughy, just the perfect thickness. The pepperoni had those crispy oil cups that add so much flavor. Rich, filling, and delicious, one slice was enough to fill me up. (4.5/5) Baked Bolognese - Simple but packed with flavor. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the baked top had a nice char that added depth. Comfort food done well. (4.5/5) Chicken Chopped Salad - Loaded with ingredients and very well balanced. Honestly one of the better salads I've had, great flavor and a really good dressing. (5/5) I'm glad this place made it through the 2025 fire because the food is still hitting. It was pretty packed for Sunday lunch, but people ate quickly and moved on, so turnover was fast. Definitely worth a visit. Parking: Small lot on site, may need to wait if it's full. read more

Walking from the street towards the store, there was the undeniable smell of fresh pizza being made, which got us excited. Walking in, you get a very old brick and mortar vibe for a classic pizza restaurant. It got me excited to try. Service was okay. As for the food itself, I'm reluctant to say, but I was unfortunately disappointing. The pizza were inconsistent and none of them really gave me the wow factor. The pepperoni slice definitely had the best texture, definitely underdone undercarriage but the best one by far, it had a nice bite on each bite and the crust. For me personally, and this goes for all the slices, I wasn't a fan of the to tomato sauce. It was just too sweet for me. I would say the Sicilian had a nice flavor and potential, but that potential couldn't be met because again, the pizza was not reheated enough. The dough wasn't airy and the bites had a rather boring texture and taste. The edges were nice though. Last, the cheese was not good. The cheese on the pep was better. It was the same style slice but the dough was very chewy and too thick. It didn't have a nice bite to it and rather boring chewy texture. read more

So happy I found this place! As a New Yorker living in LA I'm always searching for good pizza and this was a good alternative. It isn't quite the same as NY but it gets the job done. Slices are pretty pricey but their pie prices are very reasonable. We ended up getting the pie and saved half for leftovers. Great move because it tasted even better reheated on a pan - gets super crispy. The square slice wasn't for me but my partner enjoyed it. A little on the dry side for my taste. They forgot to give us the square slice until we asked about it but they seem to have takeout down to a T. Everyone was very nice! read more

Heard Prime Pizza was making its way down to South Orange County, so while I was up in L.A., I figured I'd give it a try. Glad I did. I grabbed one slice of the Sicilian -- thick, crispy, and loaded with flavor. You get that golden crunch on the edges, soft center, and a nice hit of pesto and sauce in every bite. Honestly, it was better than I expected for a single slice on the go. The crew behind the counter was friendly, the place had a chill local vibe, and they were cranking out pies nonstop. If the new OC location tastes anything like this, we're in for a treat. I'll be first in line when they open. Please come to HB - we need ya here! read more

Genuinely good pizza spot. ​We went with a large Sicilian spicy pepperoni and a few single slices to change it up.The quality of the ingredients used is evident and justifies the reasonable pricing. ​A quick note- the pepperoni pizza has a nice flavorful spice that really stands out. The restaurant also offers a nice outdoor patio to enjoy a slice, making the experience casual and relaxing. The staff was great and very friendly. read more

Not sure what all the hoopla is about, this is just OK pizza, nothing special, really. The pepperoni is pretty good, but the bianca is dry and kind of powdery and dry; the garlic sauce was nowhere to be found... The wine choices are bad, poor, and worse ("orange wine"?, wtf???). The Caesar salad was fresh and the dressing is tasty, a plus. There are a bunch of picnic tables set up for outdoor seating but the place has absolutely no vibe, either. Service was OK, but there are other, and better pizza places in this area; we're probably not going to return. read more

Pizza has a nice crunch but I'd recommend more for adults than kids. I was the only one who enjoyed it really. It's a bit expensive but about what I'd expect. The chicken parm sandwich was pretty tasty. The jalapeño ranch was not very flavorful. read more

By the slice, my favorite place that never let me down. Whenever you order a whole pizza and ask for extra protein, that's when the disappointment begins. Their idea of extra protein is different than mine. Five pieces of sausage on an entire pizza does not constitute extra protein, nor justify the cost. Nowcthat they can offer alcohol, no one's putting much thought into the wine selection. Back to Tardino Bros we go for a superior pizza rich with ingredients. read more

Recently swung by Prime Pizza for takeout and ended up eating in the car because it smelled too good to wait. Their parking lot is tiny and a bit of a hassle, but the slices are so worth it. I got a slice of Pepperoni and a slice of Spicy Pepperoni, and the spicy one was my favorite with just the right amount of heat. I'm already looking for an excuse to swing by again so I can try their Arrabbiata Round Pizza, Meatballs, and Lemon Pepper Wings. read more

Located near the Altadena Jan 7th fires. Wanted to support the local businesses that are struggling. The Italian food here is amazingly delish and huge selection including gluten free meals. I had the margarita Sicilian style slice, meatballs and garlic knots. I rate the crispy tasty pizza a 10! Meatballs so fresh and flavorful in every bite. Knots crispy exterior and soft interior (dangerous because I can eat this non stop.....). All top ingredients used. Italian ice is fun but not my fav bc it taste very artificial. This is a cool place to visit. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Parking lot is small but free street parking. Seating is outdoors on benches. Yes I will return. Thank you for supporting the community when most of the restaurants nearby is gone. read more

I've heard great things about prime pizza and finally got around to trying it. I'm ordered for delivery on ubereats and my pizza was still warm.

Ordered and paid for our pizza online with a pick-up time of 5:10PM. It's 5:40PM and they've given out tons of pizzas to at least 13 other customers who arrived after us. We've been waiting in the rain and still don't have our pie yet... 2 stars because their pizzas are good. It's just a very unfortunate experience with service. We're so frustrated!! read more

One of the best cheese pizzas I've had. I ordered 2 pepperoni slices and 1 cheese slice. Each slice costed $4.75. The pepperoni slices were good but the cheese slice was even better. For cheese pizza, they are able to cook it a bit longer so it's a bit crispier and the cheese is more baked which I love. There was no line but the tables outside were all full on the Saturday afternoon I went. They also have a mini bar for drinks/coffee. There isn't really any indoor seating but the outside seating is plenty and the atmosphere was filled with parents taking their kids out to enjoy their fave food. read more

If you're having a bad day, It's probably best you don't take customers orders. With that terrible, unapproachable, attitude. I was checking to see if my name was called for pick up. Not only did he say "What!?" once, he said it twice. Rudely. And a bit louder the second time because he couldn't hear me. There's people standing around. It's dinner hour. It's loud in that space. The only reason why I didn't ask for my money back was because the man who took my order when I first got there was very kind. But for the other one. Please do better. (Male w/glasses) read more

My boyfriend and I were out for a late night snack and decided on some pizza by the slice at Prime Pizzza. They have a small parking lot and a nice outdoor patio. There is limited seating inside at a ledge, but that didn't look too comfortable. We decided to order and seat ourselves outside. When I looked at their menu earlier in the day, I was drawn to the Meat Lovers, but that wasn't one of the ones they sold by the slice. My boyfriend ordered a classic triangle Pepperoni Slice ($4.75/slice) and I went with a fun rectangular shape Spicy Pepperoni Slice ($5.50/slice). We were given a number for our order to place wherever we decided to sit. They had some water dispensers inside and outside that were self serve. We got some water while we were waiting for our food and sat ourselves by a cozy heat lamp, since it was a cold evening. Considering it didn't look too busy, the order was a bit slow for reheating to slices of pizza. When we received it, I noticed that my boyfriend's pizza was thinner than mines. And the pepperoni distribution was lacking. It didn't go all the way to the crust. My pizza was nice and crispy along the edges but thick and filling. At least it had a good amount of pepperoni. We both felt like the pizza was pretty average but it was a nice adventure. Not sure we would go out of our way to come back here, but it's not bad if we happen to be in the area. read more

Wanted a pizza, but just a couple of slices. Not many places do that, so I decided to check this spot out, which is like a 10 minute walk from Casa De Gilbert. How convenient. This location used to be a bakery for a while, so I was surprised to see a pizza joint in its place. Not much parking and it's in a weird corner spot that's tricky to traverse since it's at an intersection. So proceed with caution. Anyway, this place has a really good vibe. Spacious outdoor, covered seating that's clean and well-maintained. Great spot for family and friends to eat and hang out. No fountain drinks, however, just bottles and cans. Onto the food. These are your thin-crust pizzas, nothing deep dish here and nothing way too fancy. Ordered the following slices: - Pepperoni - 7.3/10: Solid AF. Nice balance of cheese to sauce. Felt a little cheated with the Pepperoni, though, but the flavors are nice. - White - 7/10: Not as good as the Pepperoni, but still a solid slice. Not too oily or salty. Nice blend of cheeses. Crust is nice and crispy, but nothing too special about it to be honest. Lacked a bit of texture. Prices aren't too bad at all. It's not the greatest by far, but the appeal for me is that you can order by the slice and it's a nice environment to bring family and friends. Menu has other non pizza items, so that might be worth checking out. read more
