Sausage kale pizza to go with
Jessica P.

Wow busy place!! For good reason- the food is incredible! I ordered an online order to be picked up at 5:30 pm. When I got there, they let me know it would be a few minutes. About 20 minutes later I asked if they were behind on schedule and the guy said Friday nights were busy. 30 minutes later my order came out and they told me they forgot to make one of my pizzas. I'm bummed they didn't just tell me upfront. They made it right and service was friendly. Pizza was SO GOOD. Sausage kale was my favorite.

grandma's pizza add pepperoni

(more like 3.8 stars) I ordered the Grandma's pizza (add pepperoni). The pizza itself was yummy, I love the cheesy edges. The spots without sauce are a little dry, but the pizza held up well after being delivered! I am disappointed by the amount of pepperoni on the pizza, I paid $4 extra to add pepperoni to the whole pizza, I expected more for the price. Overall, was good and I would like to go back and try their round pizzas.

White Pizza

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.

Burnt pizza!

The pizza was BURNT ! The sauce was so-so. The crust wasn't bad. The help was fine. Kind of bright and uncomfortable for sitting. Not much parking. ^^^ Three Carrots

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.

Good crust, it hangs like a proper NY slice
Belinda T.

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.

Outdoor seating, water cups with shakers
Brigitte S.

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!

This place was busy and for good reason. Pizza was amazing and loved the outdoor seating.

Salad
Travis P.

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.

best, most reliable, pizza chain in the greater LA area. I have never had bad food from them, and i go here nearly every week. their collaborations are also amazing. the restaurant itself is pretty family friendly, with kids running around. everyone who works here is super kind.

OMG - this pizza is amazing! We just found our new favorite pizza place to go to! Honestly, just came to try the butter chicken pizza, as it's trending on TikTok - OH BOY, were we surprised - absolutely love their "pies" (square pizzas), the crust and sides are yummy and crunchy, the bread feels light and airy, like eating focaccia bread. The only negative was that the pizzas were dry, they definitely need more sauce!! Customer service is on point from the moment you walk in, all the guys are ready and willing to take your order! Love that they sell pizza by the slice and that this venue has an outside patio area, where you can sit and enjoy your pizza. Definitely worth a drive, looking forward to coming back!

Emily L.

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!

It honestly broke my heart. The man who I assume was the owner always seemed to be running the place himself. He was a true one-man show, and somehow still managed to make the best wings I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating when I say I'd buy those wings out of someone's backyard if he was still making them. They were that good. Bambino's was one of Pasadena's hidden gems. I genuinely think more people would have fallen in love with it if it had been in a busier, more visible location. The food deserved so much more recognition. I'm really hoping this isn't the end of Bambino's. If the owner ever opens another location, starts a food truck, or even just starts selling those wings somewhere else, I'll be one of the first people in line. Thank you for all the incredible meals and memories. You'll definitely be missed.

Paze itself is another horror story that would warrant ONE star at best. They only have a few merchants, and those come and go. So one and done for both Caesars and Paze! This Caesars is on the northwest corner of Lake and Orange Grove in a forlorn-looking mini-mall. Most customers like myself preorder, but I suppose you could order there. The place is spartan, no seating at all, no condiments like Parmesan, red chile flakes or even napkins. The only slightly impressive things were the storage ovens from which you pick up your order, accessed by a QR code or numbered code emailed to you when your order is ready. A monitor has your name and oven number listed. As for the food--not good. They were having a two one-topping pizzas for $5.99 each deal ($1-$2 off), we ordered a pepperoni and a mushroom. The pepperoni had a decent amount of meat. The mushroom, however, averaged ZERO to two slices of mushrooms per slice, and they were not even fresh! The crust was like cardboard. Our fave Mexican place, Cabrera's, is kitty-corner from Caesars, so I'll try to avert my eyes when passing Caesars in the future to not ruin any Cabrera's meals. I usually take a lot of photos, but this place and food didn't warrant any.

I was able to get the large mixed bowl with Hawaiian bbq chicken and steak with white rice, Mac salad, and sesame kale slaw. Additionally, I order sides of avocado, chili dusted pineapple, seasoned fries and cucumber salad. With the discount it was definitely worth it. The rice was perfectly cooked, meats were delicious and well seasoned, cooked to perfection. Mac salad was creamy and not too heavy, while the sesame kale slaw added a fresh touch. All the flavors mingled beautifully together, and the additional sides paired perfectly. Their seasoned fries did not disappoint either. I do have to say I was not a huge fan of the guava bbq sauce. Not for me but others might enjoy. I would definitely order from here again. It is on the pricier side, but most locations are having to deal with rising costs and it's understandable. Their food was quality along with their sides too. You're paying for the convenience of it being hot and ready than having to make everything yourself!

The good: The people working at the counter were very friendly and welcoming. We took a while to order, and they were patient and courteous. They gave our kids free little light up chick toys that they absolutely loved and kept them entertained while we waited for our food! The bad: - The reason it took us so long to order was because they were seemingly out of half of their menu items. Everything we wanted to order was out of stock, so we settled on boneless chicken with fries and chicken gyoza - Something very important to note is that they primarily serve dark meat for the boneless chicken. Dark meat can have a pink/red color even when fully cooked. We had several pieces that looked so red that we didn't feel comfortable eating them because it just looked unappetizing how red it was and I didn't feel fully certain it was cooked because I don't carry around a food thermometer lol. But no one in our party got sick, so I assume it was cooked? I honestly don't know. -When we arrived, they were playing very loud, very explicit hip hop. I love hip hop myself and it would have been fine if our kids weren't with us, but with kids it was just kinda weird to be listening to very explicit lyrics at 10 AM lol. It wasn't just normal hip hop, it was like the extra explicit cut of some SoundCloud rapper. Eventually they changed it to very loud country music. Just weird vibes either way

After placing my order and sitting down to eat, I noticed the same employee repeatedly staring at me while I was eating. Her behavior made me feel uncomfortable and uneasy throughout my visit. Instead of being able to enjoy my meal in peace, I felt like I was being watched and judged the entire time. A restaurant should be a place where customers feel welcomed and respected. I understand that employees can have busy or stressful days, but there is no excuse for speaking to customers rudely or creating an uncomfortable environment. The employee's attitude and behavior completely ruined what should have been a simple dining experience. Because of how uncomfortable I felt, I ended up leaving sooner than I had planned. The food itself was not enough to make up for the poor customer service. I hope management takes customer service concerns seriously and provides additional training to ensure all guests are treated with respect and professionalism. Based on this experience, I am very disappointed and would hesitate to return to this location.
