Cheese pizza had good ratio of cheese and sauce, crust was very crunchy Staff was very helpful and accomodating

arrabiata pizza
Tena D.

the arrabiata pizza is so yum!!! love this ny style pizza, i would say the flavor doesn't disappoint and this one is the perfect spice level. pickup is quick and easy, and i believe they also do delivery.

What's not to like about a quick fast-casual pizza spot in the neighborhood? The service was quiet but friendly, and attentive for a fast- casual spot. Got the Sicilian and the BBQ Chicken slices warmed up and it took about 15 minutes from ordering to perfectly crispy crust gooey cheese pizza in my mouth. The location is clearly mainly intended for takeout pies but there's a little V shaped nook with counter seating for 6-8 people total or multiple small groups shoulder to shoulder that can do if you're hungry and want to eat the pizza fresh. Free parking in the surface lot right outside, and it even connects to an underground lot as well. Yum, highly recommend!

I ordered a butter chicken pizza and I didn't realize it was curry with Turmeric. I'm severely allergic to Turmeric. Thankfully I didn't end up in the hospital because I used my Epipen. That perception is $60 dollars with insurance. You need to get rid of that pizza or you are going to get seriously sued. At least don't call it butter chicken. Call it curry chicken with Turmeric. Who wants curry pizza.? Broccoli? Pineapple? is bad enough. What part of your menus is New York? It should be greasy and floppy. Back to the curry pizza! You are going to send people to the hospital! No joke!!!! Yuck!!!

Square pizza
C M.

I tried this place for the first time the other day and overall, I really enjoyed it! The square pie was really good. The pepperoni were definitely a standout. There's not a ton of seating inside, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot, which worked perfectly for what I needed. The pizza itself is generously sized and super filling, so I thought the $45 total (after tip) was a fair deal. The only small hiccup was a mix-up with my order. I placed it in person and was told it would be about a 25-minute wait, so I hung out in my car. When I came back in around the 20-minute mark to check in, the staff member at the register seemed confused and couldn't find my order ticket. I hadn't received a receipt, and the person who originally took my order was on break, so there was a moment of uncertainty. Thankfully, it all got resolved when they located my pizza. Minor issue aside, the food was great!

Best pizza in LA?? @primepizzala might take the spot! This highly underrated pizza chain in Los Angeles specializes in NY and Sicilian style pizzas, with both round and square pie options. Personally, I thought their Sicilian-style square pies were some of the BEST I've had in Los Angeles, and I would highly recommend ordering that! Also on their menu- yummy garlic knots, chicken wings, Italian meatballs, salads and pasta, which are the perfect pairing to any pizza party. Service was pretty fast, and I appreciated how every pizza was crafted fresh to order, but I'd probably suggest takeout since the actual store doesn't have very much seating for customers.

It was time for lunch in West LA and my indecisive self was driving down Santa Monica blvd with no destination in site. I wasn't in the mood for anything specific, but when Prime Pizza popped up I pulled in and knew it was time to get some pizza. This shop looks great from the outside, is super clean inside, and has a pretty good looking menu and slice case right up front. I was pretty hungry so I decided to get a slice of the cheese pizza and a slice of the grandma style square slice cheese as well. The gentleman who took my order popped the slices in the oven and soon enough I was on my way with two hot pieces or pizza. The pizza looked really good, but when it came to the flavour department it just didn't do all that much for me. The slice of cheese was pretty standard for a basic slice of cheese, having decent enough but not strong flavour, while the slice of grandmas style was incredibly boring, had very little flavour, and barely had sauce on it either. Overall, Prime Pizza just isn't my type of pizza place at the end of the day. Would I pop in again for some simple slices if a friend wanted too? Sure, but it's never gonna be my pick.

Meat Lovers Square Pizza 2/2025

Needed a pizza for a group of us and didn't want the usual chain places so Prime Pizza it was. Been wanting to try so perfect timing! For three of us we got the square meat lovers with added basil (free addition). The pizza was full of depth flavor wise and in size. It was full of sauce, full of meat, and full of cheese. The added basil was kinda lacking but the flavor without it was great nonetheless. Pick up was easy and in time. The docking of one star was even in that short time to pick up the pizza, felt like the person providing the pizza was a bit perturbed and annoyed which was kinda off putting. All that said, the pizza is the star and I'd definitely recommend!

Once a thriving fried chicken chain with…read morelocations scattered throughout LA, Pioneer Chicken is now down to just two remaining restaurants, including this longtime Boyle Heights location. For many Angelenos who grew up eating here, Pioneer Chicken holds a special place in their hearts. It's more than just fried chicken; it's a taste of their childhood! I've been wanting to check this place out for quite some time and finally got around to giving it a shot! Walking inside felt like stepping back into the 1970s! I absolutely loved the retro aesthetic, vintage advertisements, historical photographs, and iconic rotating sign outside. There's something charming about a restaurant that has preserved so much of its original character. It's easy to see why nostalgia keeps this place alive! **THE FOOD:** The employee working the register was incredibly friendly and helpful when I asked for recommendations. I ordered the **3-Piece Chicken Dinner ($14.99)**, which includes two sides and a biscuit. I was undecided about the sides, so I asked for suggestions and went with the Spicy Rice and Mashed Potatoes. **Spicy Rice:** Probably the better of the two sides. It had a nice little kick of spice and contained a few small pieces of chicken. It wasn't bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. Just okay. **Mashed Potatoes:** Unfortunately, these were a major disappointment! They were incredibly dense, and not in a good way. The texture was unpleasant, and I really didn't enjoy them. I almost always feel obligated to order mashed potatoes with fried chicken, but these weren't worth it. I wouldn't recommend them! I was also disappointed that mac and cheese wasn't offered as a side. **Fried Chicken:** Now for the main attraction, and unfortunately, the biggest disappointment! At first glance, the chicken looked promising! It had a beautiful golden-brown exterior with a thick, crispy, almost kettle-cooked-looking crust. Visually, it looked delicious! Sadly, looks can be deceiving! The chicken was **INSANELY GREASY!** I honestly lost count of how many napkins I went through. The breading was excessively thick, making it feel like I was eating more batter than actual chicken. The meat itself wasn't particularly flavorful or enjoyable either. I reached for their hot sauce, hoping it would add some much-needed flavor. While it helped slightly, it wasn't enough to save the meal. Between the excessive grease, overwhelming breading, and underwhelming meat, I just couldn't get into it. I hate wasting food, but I ended up throwing away most of the chicken and mashed potatoes because I genuinely wasn't enjoying them. **THE SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE:** Thankfully, the service and atmosphere were the highlights of my visit! The employees were polite, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. One thing I found interesting was that the credit card machine prompted customers to leave a tip. That's not something I typically encounter at fast-food chains like KFC or Popeyes. That said, I'm happy to tip when I receive good service, and the employees here certainly deserved recognition for their friendliness. One of my favorite discoveries was the pair of old-school, coin-operated baseball pinball games! For just a quarter, you get to try hitting a home run by landing the ball in the hole. The best part? Regardless of whether you succeed, you still win a bouncy ball! I absolutely loved this little attraction! The employees were even happy to break my dollar into quarters so I could play. It's these little touches that make visiting a nostalgic establishment like Pioneer Chicken special. I also enjoyed looking through the old photographs and advertisements documenting the chain's history. There's something fascinating about seeing how a once-popular LA institution has evolved while holding on to its identity. **FINAL THOUGHTS:** From a food standpoint, Pioneer Chicken was a **2/5 experience** for me. The chicken was excessively greasy, the breading overwhelmed the meat, and the sides were disappointing. For a restaurant built around fried chicken, I expected much better. However, I'm bumping my overall rating to **3/5 stars** because of the friendly service, wonderful nostalgia, and preserved retro atmosphere. I think Pioneer Chicken is one of those places where the emotional connection is stronger than the food itself. People come here to relive childhood memories and experience a piece of LA history that has largely disappeared. I'm genuinely happy Pioneer Chicken is still around, keeping its legacy alive for longtime fans and curious first-time visitors like myself. I'm glad I finally experienced this iconic LA institution, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to its nostalgic charm. **Would I return?** Sadly, probably not. While I loved the atmosphere and appreciated the employees, the chicken simply wasn't good enough to bring me back.
