The seasonal summer tomato pie was amazing! That sauce!! Weekend nights get really busy, so I definitely recommend ordering ahead. We ended up waiting quite a while, but the staff was really nice about it and gave us garlic knots and freshly baked cookies while we waited. Such a nice touch! Definitely coming back for that tomato pie! read more

Quick and easy is not prime's way. It's rapid and worth the time to get it! Prime has a variety of great deals and delicious sides for that craving you need to satisfy but can't decide what. Prime Pizza is the way to go. Service was amazing, the variety of pizza was awesome. The place was clean. And just in the right stop of little Tokyo. So definitely a must visit! read more

I get it. People have their pizza preferences and styles and New York style is mine. Really takes me back to when almost every spot in NY tasted like this pizza. I get it. People have their pizza preferences and styles and New York style is mine. Really takes me back to when almost every spot in NY tasted like this pizza. Not the world's best, but a great slice with great sauce, toppings and the perfect thin crispy crust. This was only my second time trying Prime, but was the second in two days! My first visit in Brea was good and I knew I would love their pizza, but the slices were a little dry from sitting there (was 3:30 pm in a Thursday). This time I ordered the whole pie so I can try it fresh and that was the difference. My GF confirmed it. Now there are two pizzas in LA I love, but the one that I think is a little better and starts with a "A" is in west LA and not easy to get to. Love that Prime has multiple locations and hope to try them all. Service at this location was also great and fun to interact with. Lots of characters at this location, which I love too. Square pie is best I've had in LA, but round pizza is the one. Slices are good in a pinch, but whole pies make the difference. Parking is the only con here. I got lucky with street parking on a Sat afternoon after circling around the block once, but can imagine it could be worse. There are parking lots, but who wants to pay $10 minimum to pick up a pizza. read more

Delivered fast to Union Station. Great flavors and nice floppy New York style crust that fills well and isn't greasy or soggy. Balanced cheese to topping ratio. Good quality and quantity of pepperoni cups. Veggie pie is a great balance of veg to cheese and tasty mushrooms. Better than a lot of the quick serve pizza places in DTLA. Slices are normally 6-8 per pie, and can ask for smaller cuts. Certainly one of the office favorites at an affordable price with fast and friendly order taking! read more

Great spot to grab a quick bite near Little Tokyo! I was looking for a quick lunch spot on a Saturday afternoon in the area and Prime Pizza was perfect. My friend and I dropped by around 2 pm and it was bustling. They have a number of pizzas available by the slice in the display, so it was super easy to pick a couple slices and eat quickly before heading out. Most of the pizzas available by slice were vegetarian, with only a handful of meat options. I wish they had the meat lovers available by slice. All slices were in the $5-6 range. We got: -Sicilian -Grandma -BBQ chicken -Spicy pepperoni I wasn't expecting much, but surprisingly I really enjoyed the pizza here. The crust was nice and crispy for all the slices. My favorites were the bbq chicken and the Sicilian (because of the pesto), but they were all solid. My only complaint is that it was a hot day out, and I wish the inside of the restaurant was cooler. read more

Absolutely loved this pizza. One of the best I've had in L.A. I also really liked they serve the pizza by the slice as well. Where I live that's rare so it nice to find one that does. Located in Little Tokyo. A solid alternative in the area. Across the street from the Metro station makes it great for a convenient grab and go. On Friday and Saturday they are open late, which was a game saver for us after we returned to the hotel after an LA Galaxy game. I recommend the Sicilian pizza. I also enjoyed the bbq chicken. My son devoured the cheese slice. Service was nice. read more

We were in the area and decided to drop by Prime Pizza for dinner! We ordered a full square pie (8 slices total), 1/2 Spicy Pep and 1/2 Sicilian. Food: - Sicilian: THIS was the winner of the evening! The sauce, mozz, ricotta, and pesto all came together to make a really tasty bite. The edges of the crust were nice and crispy, and you can taste the toasted cheese on the edges of the crust. SO good. We both decided that this was the best flavor of the night. I've had this same pizza at several other spots in LA, but Prime Pizza really executed it well here. So well balanced in textures and flavors, and the crust was both nicely crispy on the edges and fluffy in the center! - Spicy Pep: Solid pizza, and we LOVE when pizza places use cuppy pepperoni. It was a bit spicier than expected, so be prepared to *actually* taste the heat when you order this one! It's tasty and the crust for this one was also banger, but (IMO) pales in comparison to the Sicilian. Would gladly come again for the Sicilian! read more

A friend sent me an Instagram video about this place and it looked pretty good, so I decided to give the pizza a try. The Little Tokyo location is in a pretty busy area. I'd suggest looking for street parking along 3rd St. if you can. There's also a parking structure nearby. The first time we came, we ordered a whole pie, half supreme and half BBQ chicken. It also came with ranch that tasted freshly made. The supreme was great. You could taste a little bit of spice from the sausage, and all the other toppings worked really well together. I also really liked the crust. It had a nice crunch to it without being too hard. Came back for a second time and got another whole pie, this time half supreme and half white. The white pizza was good. It had fresh mozzarella, garlic, and seasoning on top, and the crust was just as good as I remembered. I think adding something like mushrooms would make it even better. It is pretty cheesy though, so I could see more than one slice being a little too much for some people. The supreme was just as good as the first time. I'd definitely keep coming back. I think next time I'm going to try one of their square pizzas. read more

Great pizza in Little Tokyo. Some say one of the better NY pizza in LA. This place is great because you can either order a whole pizza pie or just buy by the slice. I like the square pizza myself. The Spicy Pep and the Sicilian are great choices. The chopped salad is a great compliment with the pizza. They offer a lunch special which is a great deal for DTLA. Plenty of seating inside. Couple tables outside as well. If in the area come and get yourself a prime piece of pizza. read more

I love me a good white pizza and this was insanely perfect. The only way to eat this is fresh and there on the spot. Taking it home would probably not be as good from what I recall at another location. This is located on the outer part of the Little Tokyo plaza so there are some metered street parking but nearby are some affordable parking structures. We were waiting for our AZ friends to arrive from their drive so we decided to grab a little bite from here. I went for the white pizza slice and my bf got the classic pepperoni. They have seasoning and stuff by the utensils and I was VERY surprised to see garlic salt as an option!! Of course I had to sprinkle some on my already garlicky pizza but I kid you not, garlic salt on pizza is a game changer!! Absolute perfection and now I'll be putting it on my pizza every time. Lots of seating, great staff, delicious pizza! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Finally tried Prime Pizza! I've always driven by it when I'm in LA, and I always see people coming in and out or sitting outside eating. I've always told myself I needed to try it. When I walked in, I went straight to the register and saw they already had slices ready for grab-and-go. I went ahead and ordered two BBQ chicken slices because I was starving already! The staff member who assisted me was very friendly. He let me know about the drink options they have and said the Arnold Palmer option is actually made in-house, which was pretty cool, so I went ahead and ordered it! I got a number, and they said they would bring my food to the table, which is pretty cool because I didn't have to stand around and wait lol. The inside was pretty packed, so thank God for outside seating! Lol. I got my order, and the pizza slices are so big, thin, and perfectly foldable, with a crispy crust and great flavor! I love how balanced each ingredient was. Nothing overpowered anything. Can't wait to come back and try other options! read more

Received some excellent service from cashier Brandon. The staff were all polite but Brandon was at my service so he stood out to me. Would've loved to have left a tip but it wasn't allowed! I don't dine here often but would definitely return based off everyone's work ethic. The pizza was amazing as well! read more

Staff is friendly. Pizza was good but no wow factor that others are talking about. Spicy Pepperoni -might be the only slice that I truly enjoyed and would reorder if I was already in the area. Pizza dough had just a slight bounce with a perfectly crisp bottom. Pepperonis curl up and hold just the right amount of grease. Pretty good but I don't think it's worth the hassle of driving out to Little Tokyo and fighting for parking. Sicilian -same type of pizza dough as the spicy pepperoni but it just wasn't all there, seemed like it was missing something.. Everything paired well but it was alright. Vodka -comes on a thin crust, flavor seemed like it was lacking. Thin crust was a little too soft for my liking. BBQ Chicken -comes on thin crust as well, it's what you expect it to taste like. But the thin crust wasn't doing it for me unfortunately. read more

Didn't expect the prices for a slice to be so affordable in downtown, $5. There are larger sizes but this was all I needed. I had a Grandma slice which was very tasty and filling. Great service, quick and easy. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Cant wait to try more slices. read more

We were exploring Little Tokyo and wanted a snack. This place was packed, which was an indication of good food, so we just decided to get something small to snack on. We ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza. Cashier was friendly and services were fast. We saw a lot of people ordered food to go/pick up. Our server warmed up our pizza and served us the pizza by bringing it to our table. However, the pizza looks sad. When I had my first bite, it tasted very dry. I wish that it had more tomato sauce or cheese in it. However, the pizza crust was very crispy that I like the texture. Two stars for the services and pizza crust. There are a few parking options in the area. read more

Prime Pizza - Spicy Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pretty good. I like how everything is laid out, from the pizzas to the seating. When I walked in, the staff were all standing behind the counter, literally standing and staring at me, so it felt a bit weird... almost mafia-like. I guess what they say about the whole "bartender pretending to do something" is true. Anyways, the pizza was alright. I found the slices as a whole to be a bit salty. It might've been the cheese or sauce, but I definitely needed to wash it down with water. Overall, decent, but not great. Worth a visit though! read more

I was lucky to try Prime Pizza in Little Tokyo because someone wanted takeout from there. My impression is the crust strikes a crispy balance on the edges but soft and chewy inside. Every slice I tried was loaded with melted cheese that actually tasted like something but it felt like it was missing flavor. I felt like 1/4 of the flavor was there and the rest was just crust. You could probably have a better experience than me. I had half and half of spicy pepperoni and supreme and nothing disappointed. The sauce has a nice, balanced tang, and you can tell everything is made with quality ingredients. It's the kind of pizza that feels like it was just pulled from the oven. read more

Prime Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

GREAT PORTIONS & FLAVORFUL TOPPINGS! I'm so impressed with Little Tokyo's Prime Pizza, it's a modern, inviting pizzeria with unique bites and clever options. I opted for a Spicy Pepperoni as that's a great pizza topping to test out a new place for me. I was a huge fan, the pepperoni wasn't overly spicy and was perfectly crispy. The sauce was mild and wasn't drenched all over the crust. My pizza's crust was almost like a deep dish, thicker than a thin crust, but not quite at DD level. I loved it because it was just right! The garlic knots are meh, not bad but they needed more garlic and better marinara. My only gripe with the food was that the prices are high. It was $70 bucks for two people sharing one pizza, an appetizer, and two drinks. Oof... I'll admit I was a little nervous walking in as they had two hours till closing and a young mom outside told me she found a roach under her table in Prime's outdoor patio! I saw it and quickly scurried inside with my friend. Thankfully, the inside was clean, I just think they need to be more observant with their patio cleanliness. Overall, this is a great late night bite spot and is pretty mellow. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. I also thought they did a great job explaining the menu. I didn't feel rushed and was able to enjoy light conversation and good food before heading back to my place. I'll definitely be returning and I'd love to see some Prime Pizza merch so I can represent at Yelp events for them haha. read more

I loved the Sicilian slice. The combination of the ricotta and pesto was perfect. The crust was nice and crisp. Easily one of my favorite pizzas. Next time I'll get the whole pizza. read more

Pizza was extremely plain. Cheese tasted burned and cheap, plus for the price of the slice it was small compared to other Pizza places that also charge the same price. The tomato sauce has a very plain taste on the palet. Clearly not made fresh. Customer services was bad as well, rude with attitude. read more

I'll be nice and leave 2 stars... unfortunately, this is top 5 worst i've ever had. It doesn't take like pizza? We got pepperoni and bbq chicken. The cheese was poor and the tomato sauce was bland. My boyfriend said the pizza didn't taste like anything. For me, idk about it not tasting like "anything," but it just doesn't taste like pizza. I've had bad pizzas, but they'd still taste like pizza-- idk what this is, but eating this and trying to figure out what's wrong with it was an experience. Saying it tastes like cardboard is too simplistic... a shame, the appearance doesn't bad at all. read more

Prime Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

tl;dr this solid, all-around pizza chain combines quality, quantity, and convenience; the Detroit-ish Sicilian squares edge out the classic NY round varieties In the pizza debate, I begrudgingly lean more toward East Coast and Detroit styles than my native California. Nonetheless, Los Angeles has its fair share of solid slices. One of the most popular spots is Prime Pizza. This small, LA-area chain is on more "best of" lists than it has Greater LA locations (which is saying something, because there is a Prime in nearly every LA neighborhood). Since debuting in 2014, the focus has been on New York-style slices, although the more recently introduced square pies might be even better. Unlike many other oft-lauded pizzerias, Prime offers 'zza by the slice, as well as a delivery service with a catchment area that spans nearly all of LA. My nearest outpost is in Little Tokyo, which shares the ground floor of an apartment complex with a FedEx and a Dave's Hot Chicken. You can't miss the firetruck-red signage and stainless steel patio furniture outside. The interior is surprisingly spacious for a takeout-centric spot. The counter on the left side of the entrance is stacked with folded pizza boxes, while the one on the right has plastic utensils and pizza fixings. The whitewashed walls are lined with shiplap trim and heavily decorated with Prime merch, pizza and sports memorabilia, and flat-screen TVs. Darkwood tables are scattered across the space, paired with black metal chairs and a half-booth. The slice display straight back is impressively stocked with many of Prime's most popular circle and square varieties. The air is sweltering in the summer heat, despite the portable air conditioner. I visited with my parents, and we opted to share a whole square pie (half Spicy Pepperoni, half Sicilian), a round White Pizza slice, and a Chopped Salad. (We also received a free Chocolate Chip Cookie as a promotional deal.) The square pie took my favorite aspects of Sicilian-style and Detroit-style, boasting a thin crust with cheese all the way to the crisp edges. On the Spicy Pepperoni half, I loved the plentiful crispy pepperoni and savory Calabrian chili oil, although I found the red sauce to be a tad sweet. Meanwhile, the Sicilian half sported a delicious drizzle of pesto, even if the remaining components were somewhat muted -- this style was enhanced by the dill-y Homemade Ranch and pleasantly funky Blue Cheese dressing. Our lone NY-style white slice was rich and impressively garlicky; even though it was reheated, its thin crust was neither soggy nor overcooked. I found the salad forgettable, but my mom appreciated the ample non-lettuce ingredients and the tangy Italian dressing. The ultra-thin cookie was impressively soft and chewy, but the flavor was more oatmeal-y than standard chocolate chip. The service was efficient and friendly in our limited interaction. The total worked out to $60, and we had several slices for leftovers. The non-pizza dishes were underwhelming, but the pizza (both round and square) was satisfying. Prime isn't the absolute best pizza in Los Angeles, but it touts an eviable combination of solid slices, reasonable prices, easy ordering, multiple locations, and reliable hours. I envision myself as both a future dine-in patron and takeout customer at Prime, depending on the occasion. Needless to say, I will be a repeat customer. read more

Prime Pizza is a great casual place to grab a quick bite. You can order whole pizzas or by the slice. I tried their vodka slice and it was great! Simple but done well. It holds it's shape and isn't floppy nor greasy. It has a crisp bottom and the basil flavor really comes through. I'm a pizza fanatic and I enjoyed this slice. It was around $5-$6. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors if you want to dine in. After paying for your pizza, staff will reheat the pizza and bring it to your table. They have a table where you can help yourself to water. Parking is street or I suggest parking at the 401 E 2nd st parking for $10 flat rate for the whole day if you want to explore Little Tokyo. The parking is right across and a quick 2 min walk to prime pizza. They accept card. read more

Cool, casual pizza joint. Buy by the slice or the entire pie! Service was quick and all was hot and freshly made.

Serving sizes were the best part about Prime Pizza, they don't skimp out and the salad was a nice portion too. read more

Prime is a great pizza chain, they've maintained consistency throughout their expansion. I've ordered the square pizza with pepperoni and it's pretty great. My only complaint is that the pizza is a bit doughy making it heavy and the undercarriage isn't baked enough.

I'm sorry in advance but the pizza I'm about to talk about is no longer available which is incredibly saddening because it was one of my favorite pizzas of all time. The Masterpiece Pie was a collaboration between Ggiata and Prime Pizza that had Grandma sauce, mozzarella, roasted eggplant, hot cherry peppers, stracciatella, prosciutto, and arugula. The slices were huge and the quality was worth every penny. The flavors were magical as well - tangy cherry peppers with creamy stracciatella and savory prosciutto. The closest you can get to this now is the Masterpiece sandwich sold at Ggiata. We also ordered the Sicilian square pizza pie which had a crispy, golden outer crust that complimented the fluffy dough beautifully. It also looks beautiful since there's dollops of ricotta that are swimming in the grandma sauce and it's drizzled with pesto. I was also shocked by how much I enjoyed the buffalo wings. They're a pretty good size and it's nicely coated in buffalo sauce. There's a lot of indoor and outdoor seating but most people were taking their orders to go. I would recommend eating it there though to try the best version of it as possible. The workers were also nice so it felt inviting. read more

Very casual pizza spot with high quality food and both outdoor and indoor seating. We walked here while waiting to attend a concert at the Moroccan Lounge nearby. We ordered at the counter and were told it would be about 20 minutes for our pizza. A little longer than expected, but happy to have a freshly made to order pizza! They also have pizza by the slice if you're looking for a quicker option. We ordered and shared the Sicilian Square Pie and it was so yummy! Perfect for 3 people. The crust was perfect and all the ingredients tasted really fresh. It was amazing as leftovers the next day too. read more
