What I had: - Aloha pizza (L - $21) - Al Pastor (L - $21) - Elote (L - $18) How it tasted: - All was brought forth with most excellent savor, yet the chief glory was the elote pizza. I know not what sorcery lay therein, but it seemed the utmost measure of delight was pressed into each and every slice. Why gave I it five? - For the choices be plentiful, the flavors most fine, and the pricing right fair. Verdict? - Mine earlier judgment standeth unchanged, yet I would chiefly commend the elote pizza above all. read more

visited rose city pizza for the first time since 2021! their old location was in rosemead. we wanted to get a large pizza: half elote and half birria but unfortunately they don't do that anymore. we had it back in 2021 and thought it was amazing. because we were just eating a small lunch, we ended up getting two small pizzas: one elote and one birria without consumme as it's extra cost. loved both pizzas but def think the birria pizza would taste better with the consumme. maybe next time! we'd def love to try other options the next time we are in town as we were just visiting! elote pizza was delicious ! love the sauce on it! staff was super helpful on their recommendations! thank you for spending the time to chat with us on the menu! read more

Came by because I was craving for mozzarella cheese stick. This place has a small parking lot available outside of the store. There is also a skat park next to it. I like the ninja turtle theme in this place. There are a lot of art work, magazine, and a game console available inside the store. Server was friendly. We ordered the medium Hawaiian pizza and mozzarella cheesesteak. The signature mozzarella cheesesteak was huge, but sadly it tasted decent and nothing special. The Hawaiian pizza was also decent that has nothing stand out compare to other pizza places. I was a bit disappointed. read more

Came in to a cool pizza spot that was decorated themed with tmnt early 90's. We ordered a large pizza, wings, and some cheesy bread. Came with marinara, buffalo, and ranch sauces on the side. Ordered kick flip, but didn't really taste any heat on the pizza. Pizza had good flavor and a decent undercarriage, just a little too thin for my liking. Wings had a great crisp and tasted good and really liked the ranch they use. The cheesy bread was delicious. Hot, cheesy, soft crispy French bread, seasoned nicely. Staff and manager were friendly. read more

Wings were amazing! The crunch did it for me. The sauce not so great, we got mango habanero which comes on the side not mixed in, bummer for me. Pizza was great! Different choices available. Inside it was ninja turtles themed so it was a bit hip/retro. Cool decor and comic area with a few arcades. The cashier was plain, she was very helpful tho but you can tell she didn't want to be there. There were two families there most customers came to pick up. They sell by the slice so that's good. Drinks are canned or bottle. read more

This is a solid place to go to if you want some creative pizzas, different from the ones at your chain pizza restaurants. I really like the customizability and the fact that you can create your own pizzas here. A small 10" pizza is quite small and I could eat it all on my own in one sitting. I would recommend a large size pizza per 2 people. In addition to custom pizzas, there is a menu of signature pizzas. My partner and I shared the al pastor pizza, which contains slow roasted pork, mozzarella cheese, pineapple, onions, radish, sala verde, and cilantro. It was pretty good, although not breathtaking. My dog loves the pupperoni pizza pie. It is made using a whole wheat, yeast-free crust and topped with roasted carrot purée, grilled chicken breast, and parsley. Presentation of the pizzas is excellent. For dining in, the pizza is served on a tray, while for takeout, the pizza is served in a box. They give free seasoning packets as well, which is a nice gesture. read more

Been wanting to try this place! It was pretty yummy! My friend is picky so I let her choose the food. We got the really big mozzarella stick, Detroit style Al pastor, and a slice of kickflip. Mozzarella stick wasn't gooey, but the crust was crunchy! It came with marinara and each for dipping. The kickflip probably would have been better if it was freshly made. Next time I'll order a whole pizza. Didn't really taste the chili oil on there. The star was the Detroit style pizza. Al pastor was good, but I would have picked a more traditional topping. The crust was on point! That's what I loved...the crust! Guy at the front was very helpful and kept up with me as I asked so many questions. Not many tables inside. I'll go back by myself next time and order the deluxe or margherita on Detroit style crust! read more

I went her on a whim because I was in the area and I was not disappointed! I got the tavern elote pizza and it was sooo yummy. I loved how thin the crust was and it was flavorful for being so thin. The establishment had two arcade games which were street fighter. They had cool paintings and had ninja turtle decorations all over. I also got the giant mozzarella stick which had amazing cheese pull. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was because they had ran out of their slice of the day. Everyday they do a different slice pizza and when I got there at 4PM they had already ran out which wasn't cool to me. Also, the person taking my order was very kind and the food came out at a reasonable time. Overall, I would come back again and try a different pizza. read more

Food is amazing, can't go wrong with any pizza, but my favorite is the aloha and the alpastor. My only issue was it took 30 minutes to get a small cheese pizza for my daughter. They probably had a lot of orders tonight, still love this place and I'll probably be back read more

December 30th had all the markings of a very special day for my Family- My oldest son the Pastor's last day in town with us before flying back to WDC, where he's the Campus Minister at George Washington University. Moreover, his and my alma mater USC was playing in the Valero Alamo Bowl at 6pm, favored over TCU. To crown an eventful final day in town, I ordered up a trio of large pizzas from Rose City Pizza in Covina. I'd settled on RCP because of their strong reviews (4.4 stars on nearly 1,000). Rose City Pizza traces its origins to its original Rosemead location...then preserved the name when they relocated to a former floral shop in Covina. So, despite the disappointment of watching our beloved Trojans gag/flop and stumble themselves to an embarrassing 30-24 defeat, do RCP pies pass yhe test?! You bet they do!!! The crust is stellar- Thin, chewy, well charred but not overdone on the bottoms, making for a wondrous chewy, slightly sweet mouth feel. The runaway winner for "Best Tasting Pie" of our trio, voted on by all five of my Family members, was the BBQ Chicken, which we'd accord 5 stars. To quote my youngest, "I've yet to ever be disappointed by a BBQ Chicken pizza. Even the frozen CPK ones are quite decent." The Pick Six is good, a solid 4 stars. The pepperonis are the old world smaller discs. Meaning the edges curl when cooked. They've a peppery warm flavor- ideal! The concept of spraying the ricotta out in ornate little "accordions" of pleats and folds is, while visually stunning...produces a wet, gelatinous mouthfeel. We probably won't be reordering this one. The Elote wins the medal for "Most Anticipated Pie," as my wife is a native born Michoacana and she and our three kids have always relished street-vended Elotes smeared with mayo, parmesan and Taijin seasoning. The overall flavors are completely on point, a corn-dense, Taijin peppered taste balanced with cooling cilantro. But the overall paucity of corn coupled with the "wet" taste due to the heavy swirls of Taijin sauce makes this a 3 star pie. Only my bride called this one her favorite, the other four of us rated it third. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I placed my order online and when I arrived 18 mins later the trio of large pies were ready. My order was $69.14 incl tax for all three. All in all, RCP deserves its strong 4.4 star overall review score. But for us, on this particular trio of flavor pies we ordered, the bloom was a wee bit of the rose. read more

I love Rose City. It's like a throwback joint in an area where you wouldn't think to find this type of pizza place. It literally gives city vibes with the decor and even the machines inside. The food is fantastic, and I've enjoyed every type of pizza I've ordered from here. But I'd say my favorite item here is definitely the cookies. They're so good. Highly recommend this place. read more

Every time we order here it was been delicious. It's our to go pizza place anytime our family wants pizza. They still make it affordable and the pizzas are huge compared to some other places. We usually order one of their specials or we make our own toppings. I personally like their deep dish style and everything we had has been noms. they use to have a location in Rosemead which we have tried but didn't become a fan until we moved to Covina. Super chill vibe. Chill and easy to get a quick dinner or lunch with the kiddos. read more

I placed an order for 3 pizzas on Super Bowl Sunday at early afternoon and it said they would be ready in about 40 mins and when I went to pick up my order was actually ready! I was honestly ready to wait thinking they'd be backed up but they were cranking them out! I'm ashamed to admit, I am a longtime Covina resident and this was my first time visiting this location. I've been to their OG location in Rosemead. But I was very impressed considering it was a busy weekend! I order the small kickflip and regular pepperoni and the Detroit style pizza. Everything was absolutely amazing! The kickflip really blew me away! read more

I waited 50 mins for a cheese pizza with barely any cheese.. 85% of the bottom half was dry as well. So disappointing. I wanna recommend that there should be at least two signs: one for a line for those that need to order and pay and then another line for pick up and paid orders because it was an absolute mess in there with honestly not even a line. It was just a bunch of people and everybody was so confused and hot read more

Had this spot in my recommendations for a long time and I finally got to try it with my partner since we were in the area. Parking lot is small as with most pizza shops. We decided to dine inside the pizza shop as they have a few tables around, but most people get their pizza to go instead. We tried their Al Pastor Pizza (Small) which took around 15 minutes to come out which is pretty fast considering they make the pizza from scratch. (Staff advised for 30 minutes) so plus points for having the pizza made fresh & fast. Portions are decent, one person can definitely finish one small pizza as it's sliced into 4s. Crust is perfect, not too hard nor soft, just the perfect crunch with crispy edges. Toppings don't fall off easily which is a huge plus for me. My partner and I were also visiting due to the fact that they have the "Pupperoni Pizza" a dog friendly pizza that I was most excited for my pet dog to try. However, upon ordering and paying, staff came out to us a bit later that we would have to wait for over two hours as they had to take it out of the freezer to defrost. Although a little disappointed, it was understanding and a refund was processed. For future reference, I would advise with the restaurant before ordering to prevent a situation like this. Next time, I would definitely try other menu items & perhaps even up size for my order. Love the uniqueness of this pizza shop with all the different types of toppings. read more

This Covina location is just as good! I got the Detroit style pizza and it was freshly hot. I like the crispy edges. The cheese was gooey and the pepperoni is crispy. It was filling enough that I only had half but could probably have more. I'd definitely would return to try more! read more

Rose City Pizza - Pepperoni Detroit Style - Pizza Near Me - Covina, California

I tried this place out using my SGV Food Passport. It was for a Detroit pizza. Going in, I didn't know what that entailed. I thought it was certain toppings, but it was the style of the crust. So, if you like overly thick, deep dish crusted pizza, then you would enjoy it. I personally thought it was too doughy and had too much sauce which made the pizza on the soggier side. But, I'll return and try their hand tossed pan pizzas next time instead. The guys working there were friendly. There wasn't anybody else inside dining or ordering take out. The place gives off an old Pizzaria feel. There's plenty of parking in their lot, but also street parking available. read more

My go to order is the elote pizza. This is my first time ordering from this (now-only) location. I like their big NY style pizza and the topping is not too crazy. The hubby likes it, creamy. I feel like it used to have more corn, so this one feels very doughy. This Covina location is not in my general go-to area so I never went since the Rosemead location closed, but I really wanted the puppy pizza. The doggo likes it! I don't feed the whole thing at once, of course. Out of the freezer, thawed, he likes it just fine. Recommend to call ahead to check if they have the pupperoni pizza ready. Last time I tried to order on a weekday, they informed me it would be 2 hour wait, so we didn't end up getting it. The guy who took my order was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. read more

I used to like the Rose City Pizza when the Rosemead location was opened. Decided to try this location to see how well it holds up. For the order, I called the store a little after they opened. It was advised that the pizza would be ready within 30 minutes. I came a little bit after and it was a quick process to pick up. As most pizza places, the parking lot was small. But it wasn't busy, so no issues with parking. They have a few indoor seating for those that want to dine in. In terms of the flavor, I got the Al pastor pizza. This was one of my favorite flavors previously, so I wanted to bring this to a potluck. Upon asking the staff over phone, they advised a large pizza would be about 8 slices, so that's what I got. To be honest, the quality did not taste the same as the other location. However, I did wait a bit to try it, so it probably tastes better fresh. I do like this pizza brand because of the uniqueness of their flavors. I'm curious on how other flavors might taste like, so I'll be coming back to try a fresh pizza! They do accept American Express. read more

Another great pizza spot! I dropped by recently to get a slice of pizza. Other than Pie Trap Pizza, Rose City Pizza is also serving up great pizzas by the slice. Each day is a different pizza slice of the day as well. This is great for those who wanna get quick lunch or grab and go. I haven't been here in a minute but the interior has changed up with all kinds of TMNT decor. Such dope artwork all around! As a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fan as a kid I really enjoyed the interior of Rose City. Super chill and great for me to grab a quick slice of pizza. The service/staff were great. They were hospitable and personable. Most importantly, the pizza was delicious! I came on a Wednesday it was the "Meaty" slice of the day. It's essentially a meat lovers slice. The cost is $4.20 for the daily specialty slice. Totally worth it! Overall, it's an outstanding pizza spot and can't wait to be back. Thanks, Rose City Pizza! read more

We've been fans since the original Rosemead location, and now that they're in Covina it's even better for us. The food has always been on point. The pizzas are consistently good and it's become one of our go-to spots for family events. We've ordered for kids' birthday parties and even school fundraisers, and Brian always goes out of his way to make it happen. That level of service is rare and it says a lot about how much he cares about the community and his customers. The shop itself is super cool inside and if you're a Ninja Turtles fan you'll appreciate the theme right away. It makes the whole experience fun for the kids and nostalgic for the adults. Great owner, great food, and a place we're always happy to support. Definitely check it out. read more

Rose City Pizza is one of the hidden gem in Covina. I have been a customer for many years. They have a new management and kind of a new menu. Their pizza is really one of the best pizza in the neighborhood. I stopped at night to check their new menu and to place my order. The place was very clean and organized. They have new comfortable furniture. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating. The mural inside gave cozy and cheerful vibes. I ordered the following; -Large Aloha pizza 5/5 It had Pineapple, ham, bacon with mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce. There was well balanced taste between the sweetness of pineapple and the savory flavor of ham and bacon. It was excellent! - Large Deluxe 5/5 The toppings were mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, pepperoni, Italian sausage, mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce We chose New York crust. It was moderately thin with crispy edges. The toppings were generous. It was really perfect. -Garlic bread 5/5 It's a French bread roll with garlic butter and mozzarella with either marinara sauce or ranch. The bread had crispy edges with soft center and perfect flavor of garlic. -Big Mozzarella steak, it came with ranch and marinara sauce 5/5 It was humongous, cheesy, and very tasty. Everything was hot and the ingredients were fresh and of good quality. The staff were very courteous and friendly. The service was fast. It's a great Pizzaria to stop by and try their delicious pizza. Definitely, I will be back soon. read more

Honestly I heard so many raves about this place but the Rosemead location. I have a lot of business and purchases out this way so I decided to drop in. Yeah I ordered the popular pizza Kickflip and I was so disappointed. This was around 1pm ish on a Saturday. I mean seriously the driest pizza I've ever had. Barely any cheese whatsoever. I swear Little Caesars $8 large pizza was better quality than what I had. I'm being 100% honest. You guys can't be stingy with the cheese, come on now. read more

I'm always in the mood to try out a new pizza joint if they're relatively close by. I've been seeing Rose City pop up occasionally in my suggestions as having both traditional pies, Detroit-style, and, astonishingly enough, slices. The Detroit-style pie did not disappoint in the buttery crust, ample sausage and sauce, and ooey molten mozzarella. I think the only letdown was asking for my usual garlic and not being met with amount of visual confirmation that it was on there. No roasted, no minced, no garlic as far as the eye could see--that means there was not nearly enough garlic by half. Garlic should be obnoxiously present. It should hit you in the face with its audacity. As a result the pie suffered, which meant that I suffered. A sausage pie is good, but it's not what I wanted or ordered. I wanted a garlic and sausage pie. And truth be told, what I wanted was a garlic pie with some sausage. Because of this, I don't know how good Rose City will ever be in terms of best local pizza spots. That's a shame because the space, though small, is perfect for kicking back at. The staff was pretty awesome. And the pizza, barring the garlic snafu, is pretty tasty. But it ain't my pizza if the place skimps out on the garlic when I order. read more
