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

It's... fine. Perfectly serviceable pizza. Nothing terrible, but nothing excellent either. We have ordered from here a few times, but more recently, I have been suggesting other places that I like more. Recently, we needed to get food a group that included a gluten free guest who said they liked Prime Pizza's GF pizza, so it's nice to know there are options for those who need it. For me their pizza lacks the texture I want in a good pizza crust. The crust is thin, but lacks chewiness or very much flavor. We also once tried the square pies, which were also decent but lackluster. I do love that they have online orders and each time I arrived on time, the food was ready and waiting for me. The last visit, parking was a little difficult because the spaces were filled. I feel like they need more spaces reserved for just pickup, but I was able to find street parking. read more

We loved Prime Pizza!!! We went a little crazy and got 5 flavors -- the Grandma, the Sicilian, the Spicy Pepperoni, the Vodka, and the BBQ Chicken. All of them were AMAZING, the square ones have an addicting crust and the ratios are perfect. My favorites were the sicilian, the vodka, and the spicy pepperoni. The workers were extremely kind and the vibe is very nice too. It's a casual patio-like scene, designed super trendy and cute. I will definitely be coming again (they have rewards!!!) 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

$2 slice opening special! We went to the special! The pizza was delicious, and definitely loved getting it for $2. We sprung for four spicy pepperoni slices. Served fast. And the outdoor patio was great. We will be back! read more

The restaurants in Altadena have been getting a lot of news coverage due to the fire destruction and road closures making them inaccessible. Well on a Sunday night the pizza shop was busy. We picked out three different slices and a coke which cost me 18 bucks. I'm a pizza snob and I can tell you these slices were delicious and the pizza dough is first rate with that perfect crunch. They are also selling special Altadena Fire fundraising t-shirts. read more

Such an amazing pizza joint. The pies are amazing! Wife and I love the arrabiata and we add mushrooms and jalapeños. We get a pizza from here about once a week. read more

I have tried this neighborhood location in Altadena. I have a dozen times now and I can tell you, there is consistency in their pies. I prefer the whole round pie with a crispy thin crust.I also really like the sauce, the cheese and the dough. You can taste the ingredients are high-quality. I would highly recommend the pizza at this location. read more

Heard the spicy pepperoni is the perfect amount of spicy, and it is :) Staff was friendly and helpful. Outdoor seating is casual & cozy with wood tables and benches and pergola-style wave shade sails overhead. My first visit, but observed what appeared to be local families enjoying an early dinner at 4:30 pm on a Friday evening. Will visit again for more spicy pepperoni pizza. Approx. 9 parking spots on site and street parking. read more

This is the best pizza in Pasadena. It's right up there with Danny Boy's and Pizzanista for best on the east side.

Just Wow!!!! We were traveling through this area on our way back home to Northern California and wanted to get some "great" pizza in the LA area before we started making that boring drive up north I searched and searched until we found this spot, locals raved about it on Reddit, so we decided to give it a chance It was amazing!!! NY style with a thin crispy bottom! No flop! It's the type of pizza I dream about!!! Also the folks there are super friendly!! Can't recommend it enough! It's our new favorite So Cal pizza spot!! read more

I've gone here like 7 times in 2 months, and 6 times out of that 7 they just can't seem to get it right. We keep asking for the pizza to be well done/crispy and they do the exact opposite, I'm talking soggy. Last time they were very nice and remade the pizza, which now we have to sit and wait around longer, then they completely burned that one but ok we will let it slide. They were very generous and gave me a credit on top of it for the next one. Now we go again for the next one and I said WELLLL DONE. They brought out a very cold, completely opposite to well done pizza, like it wasn't even cooked regular. What are you guys doing honestly? It's not that hard to cook a pizza well done, that doesn't mean burn it black and it doesn't mean soggy, a little crisp, we know it's not gonna be perfect but why on earth are you doing it less cooked when we ask well done, you're going in reverse. TELL THE COOK TO LISTEN TO THE CUSTOMERS REQUEST. Well done means well done, people like pizza crispy not soggy and almost raw. I doubt I'll return but your pizza has good flavor so maybe I will who knows, it's annoying at this point. read more

They survived the Eaton fire and are reopened!!!!id been meaning to try this place out. We came at lunchtime on Super Bowl Sunday. Got a pepperoni pizza for two adults and a child. Sizebis great for the price. Pepperoni was not too spicy and the crust was great. We sat on the beautiful patio and enjoyed the amazing SoCal weather. They have a small parking lot that was a little tricky to navigate but we managed to find a spot. Price was good for the quality. Being Super Bowl Sunday they were doing a robust about of takeout business but our pizza didn't take too long to come out. Everyone was friendly and courteous despite being slammed. Will absolutely come again. read more

Prime Pizza is a cute off-the-beaten-path local shop. Lunch service is brisk and busy but they have a sizable staff working to keep the wait to an absolute minimum. They're good for lunch because they sell pizzas by the slice in addition to full pies. The slices are all premade but they warm them in the oven just prior to serving so they are nice, hot and tasty. read more

Prime Pizza used to be my favorite go to for a nyc style pizza when I first moved to LA. I was really happy they had another location closer to me for delivery in Pasadena, but there has definitely been a quality change in the past couple of months. Before, the pizzas had a crusty, thin bottom. Now, it's a soggy, doughy mess. The crust tastes under-cooked and a chore to gnaw on - I have to pre-heat my own oven now to finish cooking the dough through to be enjoyable. I'm not sure if they have new cooks compared to the higher quality I've expected for the past 2 years, but this is my third order in two months that has disappointed me enough to look into other alternatives. They've usually been great, but again - the past three orders of mine have been a huge departure from the standard they used to have. read more

I'm sorry I don't usually write bad reviews unless it's really bad . This place had great reviews. I thought it was going to be great. But the pizza was soggy and doughy. There is no way people think that's a good pizza. I guess I can't believe reviews people write anymore they have to be fake. read more

Prime pizza is tasty and their slice prices are great. The people are always friendly and as someone who has started food delivery to help pay bills, they have been a wonderful establishment to work with in such a capacity. It also doesn't hurt that they have a nice front patio to hang out on. read more

Literally the best f*cking Pizza around. My wife and I get it double cut with extra sauce. Their ranch is also top tier.

Good pizza! But Service and care be HELLA LACKIN.... Try ordering a pie you won't get it at the projected time given. If your pie says 7pm try 730....with excuses. I've been eating prime for a very long time and wow this location truly lives up to the lag. No one cares who you are where you come from and why you are here but the pies are the best in the 10 mile region....extremely unfair and very unprofessional if ask me. But that's their angle, anyway to get you in. Not even a free soda to compensate for the time wasted. Extreme low blow for those who work all day and have an early return and still have to wait an extra 20-30 minutes. To top it off try addressing this to management, I'm talking about ZERO REMORSE. ZERO. What's up with that? I use to own a pop up and if something was a few minutes out my projection time I'd be giving out free fries or sodas (which it rarely ever happened). Now let's talk about dining with just their slices....DRY....anything reheated consider it DRY. Virtually no sauce. Come on guys. What's with all these red flags, even last week I walked in there was a fly hovering around almost every pizza and when brought up to the manager the fly flew into the kitchen and he brings up to me "I don't see a fly" WELL I DID, and so did the other customers standing next to me gossiping about why not one employee was shooing it away. This is careless behavior. Many errors in my book although it's a decent pie (when fresh), service needs revamping. This prime pizza location needs lots of improvement. Flies, dry pizza, parking is a joke, and late orders. This prime needs help. Plain and simple. read more

Came here to support Altadena. Got the kids single slices and order a full pizza for the adults. The cashier said it would be 20 minutes. 40 minutes later we still didn't have the full pizza, went to check and they said it had been in the rack sitting for 15 minutes. They offered to make a new one but at that point we don't have another 30 minutes to wait for food. We were refunded, but shorted. I left a 20% tip on an $80 bill, should have gotten some of that back too. All the workers seem stoned and not very friendly. The kids cheese pizza was ok, but that's not hard to do. Garlic knots were 6/10 and churro knots were chewy and hard to bite 3/10. read more

Trying to really like this place and each time they continue to disappoint. They had a school fundraiser for my daughter's school and election night promotion this past Tuesday‍ the line was super crazy and ordered online to help speed the process, which gave me a 45 minute estimated time. By the time the 45 mins came and passed I went to the pickup line, waited another 15 mins, which was understood with the not so great idea to have 2 different promotions on the same night, and I was informed there was no more pizza. After another 10 -20 minute wait. ‍ The staff were struggling to keep up with orders and the lack of communication from the manager / staff was very inadequate at best. The Team wasn't remorseful and they were not handling the pressure of all the orders. I ordered a bunch of things (pizza, wings, knots, salad) totaling $107 because it's fundraiser for the kids. I was informed that they took the pizza off my charge and wasn't given a new receipt. They said they would take care of it in the "next couple of days", which is understood because of the jam packed craziness. I came back today (3 days later) to check on the status and spoke to the manager. It wasn't busy and seemed like it would be a good time talking to him. I explained to the manager the situation in a polite and respectful way, and he was already posturing and in a very stand-off tone. There was no acknowledgement and no service recovery about the situation Tuesday. I wanted to ensure I wasn't charged for the pizza since I didn't have anything on my end for the "credit" and he printed out the receipt after showing him my email receipt. On my end, I still remember seeing my card charged for the full payment of $107. Not much dialogue on his end and there was a golden opportunity to acknowledge the double promo blunder. I mentioned it and said it would be best to not do two promos on the same day again. He basically said it's not. ‍ I stood there in an awkward silence just waiting for any acknowledgment. I wasn't expecting any freebies and wanted to ensure the school fundraiser got full credit. The pizza is decent, the wings are ok, salad average, garlic knots , service is . We usually have a few functions at Prime because it's so close to the school. I'm really trying but truthfully turned off due to no acknowledgement of the crazy wait time and will need to take a long break from this place. I actually ended up ordering Prince Pizza in Old town that night to replace the no Pizza at Prime. Will come back but definitely not anytime soon. Let's do better Prime and get that service to a Prime level vs subprime lately. read more

Prime Pizza - This was not a Prime day for customers. ‍ - Pizza Near Me - Altadena, California

Prime Pizza does it right. Simple amazing flavors, a nice patio and very helpful service. We usually get take out but this day I wanted a slice. Something as simple as offering slices of pizza really makes Prime special to this Yelp reviewer. Many years ago, I worked at a pizza shop and offered slices during the day. Through the years, this simple gesture to the lone luncher or minimal appetite couple or group has faded but I am happy to say Prime has this offer. read more

Prime Pizza - Simple slice of pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Altadena, California

Holy moly!! I'm currently on a gluten free diet and was craving pizza! I read the reviews for this place and had to give it a try! I haven't tried other gluten free pizzas but wow this was AMAZING!! So flavorful and tasted as good as a regular crust! Even my husband loved it. We got the gluten free grandmas and added pepperoni and olives and got the spicy pepperoni. Soooo amazing and juicy! We also got the italian chopped salad. That was a 3/5 - mediocre and nothing special. But I would HIGHLY recommend the pizzas!! read more

Been to Prime Pizza a few times and really like this actual location. Only thing is like the other Prime Pizza locations it always falls short quality wise. Would say the pizza itself is a good imitation of New York pizza minus the flavor and quality ingredients. More like you are eating a baked bread with sauce and cheese if that makes any sense lol it does not give off quality pizza vibes. Very bland overall. Maybe I should have tried other slices that were not pep or traditional cheese? Would say service was great and fast. Friendly and attentive staff. Location is an A+ with a nice backdrop of the foothills. I guess if you live really close by it's a solid option. read more

Came here on a weeknight. Place was packed. Parking was difficult. But it was all so worth it. Their best is their pepperoni square pizza. The dough is like an airy foccacia. The sauce is memorable. Pepperoni's were tasty and abundant. - The only improvement would be to serve it at a warmer temp - Mine was given to me slightly warmer than room temp Had a taste of another type of pizza. It was nice and aggressive with the garlic flavor. Thin crust was meh. I think it was spinach and tomato toppings. - Decent, not the best They also serve brewed iced tea packaged in their own packaging. The cashier suggested I come back for their wings. I would recommend going here in the off hours so you don't have to park far away. read more

When I was out running errands I was attracted by the "pizza by the slice" neon sign in the window. A very casual place with picnic tables under a pergola out front. When i went it there were nothing but teenage boys ordering food. When it was my turn I selected the Sicilian slice and a Caesar Salad. The cashier handed me a plastic container of salad like you see at grocery stores, and a large bowl fir me to toss it. Delicious with heavy anchovy dressing. The slice of pizza was also very delicious. I could not eat it all and use my salad container to pack up my pizza slice for later. I will definitely come back with family and friends. read more

They gave me burned pizza for $32. I ate as I was super hungry but I could not take it. Mushroom topping super salty and I could not find trace of basil. After 1 slice and as pizza gets cold it becomes hard and very chewy. I complained to the staff and they were trying to educate me that pizza was not burned, the mushroom is dark brown. With that response I was extremely unhappy and I asked for refund and they gave me. I had placed huge order for an event last year. It was not best. The location is nice and I Wanted to try in person. Overall Very bad pizza. . read more

As a pizza snob I feel Prime is at the top of the chain with quality throughout. Our son has been ordering in the past and told us about it. So glad he did. The garlic knots are excellent and the pizza is done as you order it every time. Even their salads are done better than average read more

Super yummy pizza! Their vodka pizza, white pizza, and spicy pepperoni are amazing. They sell by the slice or by the whole round/square, and you can do half and half which is a great way to try multiple options! Service is quick if you order out, and they have a super nice patio if you want to dine in. Try this place over a national chain or frozen, you will love it. read more

Prime Pizza is the place that started it all for me. I've been to all the Prime locations, except Fairfax. Unfortunately, I have had really inconsistent experiences with Prime lately, particularly from their Little Tokyo spot. These experiences compounded, and eventually soured my perception of their brand. They recently had a promotion, which enticed me to finally try their new Altadena location. Upon arrival, I could not help but smirk. It instantly reminded me of the Burbank location (can't believe I drove all the way to Burbank for Prime Pizza back in the day lmaooooo). Horny CRE agents can start spamming Prime now 'cause it seems they have a type: medium traffic oddball intersection with an afterthought of a parking lot. I wonder how often the parking layout changed with each City Planner. Lol. The staff were all very courteous and competent. Even so, I was so ready to be disappointed when I got home. But with one bite, the nostalgia instantly took me back to 2017 when I first had Prime Pizza. Damn, Prime Pizza still got it. They really still got it even with all the new competition. Great chew, great sourdough kick. The drive was quite pleasant as well. My road rage did not activate. I might even order regular sauce next time instead of light sauce as regular sauce + road rage = soggy pizza. Squares are still where it's at. Imo, rounds here are a waste of time. read more

Lately, I've been on the hunt to find one of the best authentic NYC style pizza in Pasadena and LA. After seeing this online I definitely had to stop by and try it for myself. Food: I came here with the family and ordered the large pepperoni and cheese pizza and Bolognese pasta. The pizza: Came in a thin crunchy bottom which was amazing I really enjoy having a crunchy not burned bottom pizza. The red sauce and cheese was a perfect balance. Yo too things off the pepperoni was a decent amount and large size. It wasn't too salty at all. I must say it's one of the best pizza I've had in a long time. The Bolognese pasta came in a smaller tray that couldn't easily feed two people. The pasta taste like it was homemade which is a plus and if I can have it my way I wish it came in a bigger tray. It was the perfect pairing with our pizza. Staff/restaurant/parking Staff: We came in on a Saturday night for dinner, they had plenty of friendly staff that greeted us and was very helpful. They took the time to answer all questions and recommend popular items on their menu. Restaurant: It's an outdoor eating with cafeteria style wooden benches and had Edison lights hanging overhead. It felt cozy and warm they actually do have several heat lamps for those cold nights. Parking: They have a small parking lot but there's plenty of parking down the street for in the residential area. If you go during daytime you'll have no trouble finding one. Bonus: This is for parents with infants and toddlers. They actually do have a baby changing station and have courtesy baby wipes and diapers from size 4-5 which is really nice of them to do. Conclusion: I would definitely come back and give them another try and looking forward in trying their other types of pizza. I would recommend giving them a try if you're a if NYC style authentic pizza. read more

Definitely one of the best pizza spots in the SGV! My favorite are their square slices, especially the Sicilian. We also got the meatball sub, and it was delicious! The sub's toast was super light but crunchy at the same time, and had the perfect ratio of mozzarella to meatball. Their pizza slices are the closest I've tasted to classic New York style slice, as they are able to balance the flavor of the slice with the texture of the bread really well, while keeping the thin crust. Limited parking but a great place for a quick bite or late night pizza craving! read more

Great variety by the slice. Should keep the seasonal heirloom tomato pie on the menu full time. Location specific issues at the Pasadena location...Pizza is dry; not enough sauce! While perusing the pizza case, numerous fresh hot pizzas were brought out & placed on chefs racks directly across from the pizza window. It was frustrating to see fresh piping hot pizzas just sitting on racks while the pizza being sold was the old cold pizza in the pizza window that had to be heated a second time before serving. I ate my slices while watching the fresh out of the oven pizza pies just sitting & getting cold. This was a sacrilegious act to me as it was so wrong on so many levels. read more
