Al Pastor Pizza (Small Round)
Tyler W.

First time trying Rose City Pizza and it definitely lived up to the hype! Al Pastor is my favorite meat for street tacos so of course I had to get the Al Pastor Pizza! Great flavors and a great balance of saltiness with the pork, acidity with the pineapple and crunch with the onions plus radishes. Hard to miss the place as it's right across from a skate park, but the parking lot is on the smaller side (had no issues around dinner time during the week). Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Visited 7/23/26 - Pastor Pizza (S) 14 Get this over the birria pizza! I have been here maybe 5x and this was the best specialty one they have to offer. The pineapple/pastor combo was delicious and creative! The green drizzle was a great touch with a radish to cut the heaviness! - Birria Pizza (S) 14 Lack luster. The consume was not flavorful at all and very viscous, overall diluted. The meat texture was great, my boyfriend thought it was dry. Loved the orange drizzle but apart from that I would skip this. - Boneless Chicken Wings (L) 15 Literally essential. You can choose a buffalo, ranch, hot honey, mandarin habenaro, and bbq! I always do buffalo and ranch, their buffalo is so good its sweet and tangy. Chicken is fried to perfection with the best crust. - Special Slice of the Day, Thursday 4.20 Love the kick flip, would not want to get a whole pizza so I try to come on Thursdays! I love the ricotta piped on which makes it creamy and makes the grease worth it! Definitely consider patting it off (worth the sin). For two people, I would do two daily slices and an appetizer! Or you could do one daily slice, an appetizer, and a small pizza only if you want left overs. Order at the front then sit down, there's self order if you prefer. The vibes are nice lots of art work and a decent parking lot, consider bringing a water bottle.

I bought this pizza for my pizza-loving friend as part of her bday gift. She's more of the pizza expert than I am, and she seemed to love this pizza! I ate a slice and thought it was good, maybe I was expecting more due to the hype around this place. To me it seemed like an average pepperoni pizza. The crust was too hard for my liking but the added dollops or ricotta were a great bonus. I'm interested in returning and trying a different pizza, there are so many interesting options!

I have eaten here multiple times now and they never fail me. The Rosie's Ranch is absolutely a must have with your meal. I've tried multiple pizzas: elote, al pastor, Birria, and deluxe. Each one is amazing in its own way. Whether you order for pickup or to eat inside, the staff are so nice and the vibe of the place is great. I will definitely keep coming back for more.

This place has a cool 90s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme. They even have games you could play! The location is pretty small, but there is some seating/tables. I had the elote pizza. I love street corn and pizza so this was the best of both worlds. It was super delicious! My mom and I shared a size small. The people that work there were also very friendly and helpful

I placed a phone order. The employee was nice and patient with me. The pizza was good but I think the dough is pretty hard.

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.

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.

Kicks
Stephanie C.

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!

Erica F.

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.

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.

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.

$20 for a large pizza and the pizza is very very thin. I do not recommend this place for that price. I appreciate the reply from the owner stating it's New York Style pizza. Well, I have been to New York and visited many pizza restaurants there and they have the best pizza . Rose City is nothing like New York or even close to them.

Ask the Community - Rose City Pizza

Do you offer gluten free options?

Yes, available in the 10” round crust

With the recent menu change I noticed the Buffalo chicken pizza was removed and that was my family's go-to. All the toppings are still there in a way, is there any hope of bringing it back?

Hello, we had to go through the menu and take off the ones we sold the least of. We only sold that pizza 5 times a month. If you call in your order, tell them you want to order the Buffalo chicken pizza. You will pay for the BBQ chicken pizza but… 

Do you have outdoor seating to eat and can i take my 2 dogs to eat outside with me?

Yesterday I was neither able to order online nor call: online, I was informed that ordering online is not possible, and when I called, I was directed to order online. Therefore, I was not able to order at all. How is that possible?

I am sorry. We had abruptly close last night due to an emergency. We are usually open 11am-9pm daily

Can you do square cut? What's 2x cut meaning?

Hello! Yes we can. Just let us know or put it in the notes when you are online ordering. “2x cut” is if you want the pizza double cut into smaller slices

Are dogs allowed inside?

Hello! Dogs are allowed on the patio. You can come in with your dog to order and wait at the patio area for your order

Do you sell pizza by the slice?

Yes they do, they have daily selections available at the counter which include some of their classics. The specialty pizza's are not made by the slice as they like to keep it fresh

The location is pretty chill and quiet outside of the TV playing soccer. The staff who took my order was friendly and allowed me to try sample some smoothies. I came there for the BLT wrap with avocado. My order was served within a few minutes. The staff offered jalapeños on the side as well and constantly checked in with me. I was happy with this wrap! The freshness of the veggies and the crunch from the bacon was perfect. One specific detail I'd have to mention was the cream cheese they use in the wrap. It elevated that wrap it to a new level and brought out all the flavors. I'd return again just for this item. Good customer overall with great food. Come by and try out C & R Fresh Foods! ( ^_^)b

I walked out of there disappointed with the whole experience but to also top it off ! HONESTLY, the drink I ordered wasn't even worth it . It tasted like they used old veggies and they definitely watered the drink down . I have had organic home made juices like the one I ordered and there is a huge difference! This $10 drink was not worth the stress . I won't came back here again , that is for sure . It's better to go to North Gate Market for actual freshly squeezed organic juice .
