Pizzas are unique, but a little pricey. This is my first time trying a Birria Pizza and an Elote Pizza and both are delicious. The consomé that goes with the Birria Pizza was my favorite. They also have the typical pizzas you'll see, like the Deluxe and Hawaiian. My family enjoyed the Birria Pizza the most. The only thing that was mediocre is the crust. The crust was a bit too chewy and doughy for me.
Quality/Quantity - Wow, I mean wow! Interesting fusion pizza place. Who comes up with these recipes? They deserve a raise! We got the extra large 1/2 Elote 1/2 Popcorn Chicken (Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken) pizza and it was so so good. My favorite of the two was the popcorn chicken pizza, but the elote was also so good. Popcorn chicken pizzas have a very slight kick to it, just enough to intrigue your interest, but not overpowering. Both of the flavors were spot on. Now I have to come back to try the other signature flavors. We even discussed buying the $40 pizza bag just to get that $5 off each large pizza... NY style pizza? Maybe your classics? Umm, it is more like fusion style pizza if you ask me. Also available are: Focaccia pies, salads, pasta, sandwiches, wings, fries, tots (sides), dog pizza (yes for your dog!), and pizza desserts, etc. Atmosphere - Small local business. Indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly. Plenty of mall parking. Service - This was a slight miss, but I did not count this against you. The "young" girl asked if I needed anything else and I asked for plates, napkins, a plastic knife, etc. She seemed confused... I then asked again for the stuff and she said "which ones?" I said all of them??? Weird conversation, so weird that I forgot to ask for parmesan cheese, good thing the flavors were so good and unique that I would not have wanted to mess with the original recipes. I also really like the $40 pizza bag idea for $5 off large signature pizzas for life! Too bad I am not here often enough to take advantage. Maybe I should be coming to LA more often?! Price - $34 + tax. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2009 and with your two locations; you got a new regular customer now!
I can't believe it's been nine years since I left my first review here, and wow, the pizza and food just keeps getting better! I usually get the Elote pizza with hot Cheetos crumbs on top, but this time I decided to try one of the other unique specialty pizzas. And since I have to now endure the football season, why not go all out with the caloric intake? I got a medium pizza with half Char Siu and half Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and these turned out way tastier than I expected. The popcorn chicken came with baked basil leaves on top, which was a nice touch. But I have to say the Char Siu won my heart. I love barbecue chicken pizza, so this was very similar, except with hoisin sauce, spicy mustard, and "char Siu" which tasted more like al pastor to me but I'm not complaining! Hoisin sauce on pizza WORKS! And the spicy mustard was the chef's kiss. Sprinkle some of that pickled onions on top and you have a mouthwatering slice of pizza. For tater tots lovers, the buffalo chicken tots were really good. It felt a little pricy ($9) but it's a great appetizer to share. The service was fast and efficient with a text to let you know your food is ready for pickup. The guy working the cash register was friendly and hooked it up with a side of buffalo sauce. This place also has craft beers on tap ranging from $5-7! Harland Japanese Rice Lager, anyone? Thanks, Rose City Pizza, for making Sunday football more bearable for me. You da real MVP.
So I came here with high expectations wanting to try the elote pizza with my foodie son and my wife. Son and wife did not want to try the elote pizza so we then started to think about doing a half/half pizza. Unfortunately, there are no prices ANYWHERE in this building. Is the price of the Signature pizzas the same as the Classic pizzas? One of the thoughts was that we would get a small pizza and a couple of side dishes and share but without knowing the cost of individual plates, what would be a reasonable amount of food and cost? I asked about the birria grilled cheese and it was $16 but I was also thinking about getting Buffalo chicken tots. No pricing so I got frustrated and we just ordered a Meaty pizza. It was good. Not going to drive to Rosemead or Covina for it but it wasn't bad. I don't understand why they would not post prices. What are they afraid or embarrassed by? Even if you want to put it on the paper foldout but nothing. Even the beer was a chore. My son asked for the Japanese lager and I asked if they had a dark beer to a surprised look and then a comment to his coworker... do we have a dark beer?
Came here for take out. It is in the large Rosemead Plaza. The BBQ Wings were large and the sauce has a kick to it. The Pizza Crust was good. I was surprised by the flavors of the Elote. The deluxe was really tasty with the vegetables.
Who doesn't love creative and unique pizzas??? And Rose City has long delived on the unique pizzas! Tried the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken tonight which is very tasty and also got the proven elote pizza which is a nice option when you don't want any meat toppings. One small critique is for the Caesar salad dressing as it can be a bit better tasting and you need to ask for a side of Parmesan cheese when taking the salad to go as they put the crutons and dressing on the side.
I do not live close to this place and wish I did! This pizza place a wonderfully different from all others! It's Italian with a Mexican twist! I love it when cultures are combined together. Inside is cozy. There's enough room for small parties to eat inside. The service is so friendly and fun! We got a half and half pizza of elote and Al pastor. Both were tasty! I do miss this place and I'm going to have to make a fun road trip to get another pie to enjoy!
I ordered my pizza online and despite the order saying that it would take 25-30 minutes, I got a notification saying that it was ready in 15 minutes! Great! I got the medium Signature pizza with 1/2 Al Pastor and 1/2 Elote w/ Hot Cheetos. Adding Hot Cheetos to the whole pizza would cost $4 but since I got half, it was an extra $2. Total for a medium pizza was $30 so it's a little pricy, but I understand why - these are such unique flavors and toppings! A medium pizza is good for about 3-4 ppl. My favorite over the 2 was the Al Pastor, like eating a taco on top of a pizza. There's tables and beer / boba if you wanted to enjoy a pizza with your friends. They also sell chili oil at the counter if you want extra spice. I def want to come back and try other flavors.
So i'd have to say I m a bit of a Pizza. Being in LA have had lots of great pies from various Pizza spots - Casa Bianca of Eagle Rock, Pizzeria Mozza, Zelos Pizza ( great cornbread crust) and local spots such as Pizzanista, Luggage room and Tomato Pie. So I ve been eyeing the reviews of Rose City and was intrigued to give it a go. Keep in mind I ordered delivery so that can tale away from the quality of a good pie. That being said opted for a Green flash after seeing a margherite with pesto ( pesto on pizza is underrated imho)...pizza arrived on time and was warm but overall can't say this was well made? Pesto was laid on liberally and the garlic was a bit overpowering. I really wanted to like it, but overall found this to be a letdown. I willingly note that this was delivery and came warm, so would love to give it another go...just maybe will avoid the green flash the next time...
Yum!! I love corn and now there's an elote pizza?? For a medium sized Elote Pizza came out to be around $23. Not too bad.. Feeds like 3 people. 2 slices each. Overall the pizza was made super quickly (15 minutes, called over the phone). Staff were friendly and interior of the store had seating so if you wan to hangout and eat pizza you can!
Still one of my favorite spots for pizza in the SGV. Their elote pizza is my favorite here and it never disappoints! I got a large elote pizza and a large Al pastor pizza for my party of 5 and we destroyed it. Our order was ready within 30 minutes. The elote was just as good as I remembered and the Al pastor was flavorful. We also got a container of the Zinder's chili oil and it was amazing. I would highly recommend getting the chili oil to pair with your pizza if you're a fan of spicy. Definitely try their elote pizza!
We wanted to try 2 different topping for their pizza. We called over the phone to confirm if you still get the consommé for the Birria pizza if you split the topping half and half with something else, they said we would. We realized that they didn't pack any consommé for the half Birria pizza we order after we had left the restaurant for a to-go order. Birria Pizza- meat was well seasoned and full of flavors even without the consomme. I'm sure it would be even better with the consommé. Spinach Pie Pizza- was not the great at all. We only ate about one slice. We added chicken and onion on top of it which helped but wasn't enough. The garlic parmesan ricotta was very heavy and not spread around evenly. It was globbed onto the pizza in large globs, when biting into the ricotta it was just a mouth full of thick solid heavy cream almost. Lasagna Grilled Cheese- had a layer of melted cheese on the top Texas toast, which added a different chew texture to the rest of the dish. If you love bread this is a good plate to pick off on. Definitely heavy and something to share with others. Buffalo Chicken Tots- on the tangier side as I love it to be. If you're not a fan of extremely tangy buffalo sauce, I would stray away.
So excited to finally try this place out after having it bookmarked for 2 years now. - Char-sui Pizza: 4/5 The hot mustard was a nice surprise and set this off. - Birria Pizza: 2/5 Super underwhelming and lacked in flavor. - Elote Corn Pizza w/ Flamin Hot Cheetos toppings: 5/5 This was most of the group's favorite pizza of the night. - Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Pizza: 3/5 - Jalepeno Popper Pizza: 3/5 - Boneless Wings: 5/5 Perfectly cooked and super juicy. I ordered the medium and was very surprised that it wasn't just a buffalo medium sauce. There were definitely other seasonings on top of the buffalo. - Pizza Fries: 4/5 All in all, I felt like all the pizzas had great flavors. The toppings for each style were very well incorporated. The only complaint I have is the face that I wish the pizzas were hotter. We ordered to eat in the restroom and the pizzas came out room temp. Did not have that cheese pull. I also tend to lean towards a slightly crispier crust for which it did not have. Service was 5/5 though!
I did a phone order for my last pizza from this location and will continue to support Rosecity pizza at its Covina location because the owner and crew are great at what they do. They're all fast, friendly professionals that care for their craft. We I order on the phone, I told them I wanted a medium and serious the person taking my order mentioned to me that it was only $2 more for the large I was like all pass but after second thought I changed my mind and apologized after they gave me the cost for the medium.... Not a problem, really accommodating and nice... great service while on the phone with me knowing that the place is going nuts on their final weekend and to no surprise it was line to the door when I arrived and the seating were full. So sad to see them go from Rosemead. The place definitely had an energy going, people were packed in getting their food along with others staying in seated. Of course down to the actual business the food... I ordered the large Birria piazza and like always hot n fresh but it was done so fast, I got the text message that my pizza was ready in 8 minutes after my call! Like wow!!! That's amazing!!! So fast! And such great quality. I would go for the drive for this and their Manila sunrise pizza for sure and I do love their Al pastor pizza too! Good luck Brian and crew at your Covina location!!! I will visit again soon to play street fighter and grab a pie. read more
We will miss this location, but tomorrow is their last day! We went to have our last meal their before they close this location. They will still have their Covina location, I believe. We got a pizza (half popcorn chicken, half aloha), pizza tots, and the lasagna sandwich. The popcorn chicken pizza is delicious, with boba shop inspired popcorn chicken and plenty of basil, and an aioli sauce. We got the aloha for the other half because my kids love pineapple on their pizza. We got pizza tots because my son also wanted pepperoni. It's got a good amount of Italian pizza seasoning. My husband also wanted the lasagna sandwich which is like two servings of lasagna between two thick slices of toast. Don't forgot to get your Kyinspired cookie for dessert. Mmm S'more cookies or ube cookies. Yum. read more
Meant to write a review a while ago, like on June 24, 2018. Got the Lasagna grilled cheese sandwich to go. It was very filling. Even though I shared half of it with my sister, neither one of us could finish it, it was stuffed with so much cheese and sauce. It's not the healthiest option, but it was fun and exciting to order in the moment. Sad now to find out this location has closed. But glad there's still a place in Covina! read more

Rose city pizza is a great local spot that serves pizza, pasta, and fries/tots. The flavors here are unique but the flavors for everything I've tried has worked really well and was delicious. One thing I appreciate about I've tried a pizza and did a half elote and half Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The pizza was really good and the flavors were very different from any other pizza flavors that I had before. For the elote pizza, I definitely recommend upgrading it to include flamin hot Cheetos but it really enhanced it for me. I also had the buffalo chicken tots and these were so amazing and were probably the best tots that I've had. If you're looking for a cheat meal, Rose City Pizza is a great option to enjoy some carby goodness. The employees here are friendly and service is good, but limited, as you don't interact with the employees much other than when you order your food and when they bring your order to you. The store itself is pretty casual but there's a lot of cool art on the walls. It is located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. read more
Speaking for my dog and other dogs out there! They seem to love your pizza not that they won't love a lot of things....but thanks for going out of the way to make pizzas for dogs! Sorry I really forgot what the pizza I had a couple of years ago tasted like and I just got to writing your review....though I swear I wrote one before!!!!! This is my 2nd Dog Party hosted at a park and bought pizzas there this time I asked them to cut them into smaller slices as small dogs can't clean up a Quarter of a small Doggy pizza.... Thanks Rose City for this....and I highly recommend this place for what they provide!!!! read more

Located inside the Target plaza. Lots of free parking. Friendly, local pizza place. Also offers pasta and salad. Pizza is pretty good quality. Convenient location. read more
Was craving pizza and decided to come here. They had different types of pizza and sounded very good. We just order in front and then they'll bring it out to you once it's done. The area is a cute little place and I'd definitely come back to try other pizzas! But the Taiwanese popcorn chicken and Alfredo chicken was a delicious combo! read more
So yummy! My boyfriend and I went for lunch because I had always wanted to try it after seeing the pizzas on SGV eats. We went around 1:30PM on a Saturday, and there was no one inside. We didn't see on the boards the specialty pizzas so we were a little worried, but we found the paper menu and the specialty pizzas were on it. We decided to order a medium pizza with half birria and half popcorn chicken. The total came out to $28.46. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our pizza, and they served the birria pizza was a side of consume. We also asked for extra sauces of the sauces they had drizzled on the pizza so that we could dip if we wanted to. The birria pizza was succulent and flavorful, and dipping it into the consume really accentuated its flavor. We also asked for a spoon to kind of pour the consume on top of the slice since dipping it made the toppings slide off. The consume was so tasty and homey as well, I drank all of it after we ate the pizza. The popcorn chicken side was also delicious and fragrant, and we were so grateful for the extra aioli because it made the pizza so much more special and tasty. I do wish it was a tad bit saltier but my boyfriend thought it was perfect. Overall, amazing pizza that you wouldn't normally be able to get anywhere else, and even though it is definitely pricy, we were full by the end and loved every bite. Would definitely come again and recommend to everyone to try! read more
I prefer the Rosemead location here because it offers a lot of seating and the plaza is always so bustling. Of all pizzas, I am in love with the popcorn chicken and basil pizza -- lichrally tastes like taiwanese popcorn chicken on pizza, with a creamy white sauce. Birria pizza, hot cheetos, and tater tots were yummy as well, but just not as moist or memorable to me. However, everything on the menu is a must-try, especially because these are more unique. And thanks to the chefs for always being timely. read more
Takeout pizza in Rosemead, Los Angeles, California... After a busy day of eating, drinking, and shopping, I just wanted to sit down and have pizza. My friend, Tora, highly recommended Rose City Pizza... So, that's where I went. Located in a shopping center with lots of free parking, I easily parked and entered the hipster environment. Ordering was easy and I took a seat until I was texted when my order was ready. I opened the box and took photos of my large pizza with half Deluxe and half Aloha. The Deluxe was a bit spicy because of the pepperoni and sausage. I liked the Aloha better because of the bacon with the Canadian ham and pineapple. Haha! Overall, it was good pizza. I liked the crisp edge of the crust. It was kind of chewy because I didn't eat it right away. Next time, I hope to dine in! read more

Spot on! Have been here for a good handful of times over the years, and I gotta say, this place always exceeds my expectations! My recent cravings are their Char siu & Taiwanese popcorn chicken pizza. I admit that when I first heard about these flavors, I was like "No way, that's weird. They can't be good." But surprisingly, they turned out great! The popcorn chicken was so flavorful, and I really loved the Char siu too. Sauces were just perfectly complimentary! We recently ordered from them for a gathering, and everyone loved it. Never thought Chinese staples on top of pizza could be this good! They also have a bunch of other good flavors for you to try out, like the elote, al pastor, birria, and so many more! Would recommend to add hot Cheetos to the elote which is another of our go-to options. Tater tots were mostly decent too, my favorite was the al pastor tater tots. Overall, love this place! These guys really know what they are doing, and the unique pizza flavors they created are always full of good surprises. Bonus: they do draft beer & dog friendly pizza too! Tips: You can do 2 flavors on one pizza & ask them to cut into even smaller slices since the normal slices are huge! read more
The pictures and unique menu items were very enticing, so I decided to place an order for pickup on a Friday night. My order was ready in less than 25 minutes. Rose City is located in a large shopping center in Rosemead which has a ton of shops like Target, Dave's hot chicken, and chipotle, so parking is easy. The customer service was great. The guy at the register was friendly and welcoming. On to the food... I ordered a small pizza, half elote and half deluxe, as well as an order of the hot Cheetos elote fries. The pizza was ok. For the elote portion, the sriracha sauce gave it a decent kick, but besides that it lacked the flavor that I was hoping for. The deluxe portion was better flavor wise due to the pepperoni and sausage, but I felt like it was dry. I like my pizza saucy and cheesy. Unfortunately, this pizza didn't check those boxes for me. I would give the pizza a 3/5. As for the elote fries, the combination of the Cheetos powder and the sriracha sauce added a nice level of spice. The fries themselves were decent, but again, the fries overall were a little to dry for my taste. The fries get a 3/5 from me. An overall ok experience. Not sure if I would return. read more

The service was amazing, they accommodated everything I asked for. (half&half pizza and ready at a certain time) The staff are very friendly and easy to talk to. Aside from my own conversations with them, I also noticed their interactions with other regulars and it was great to see a local pizza shops being friendly with the locals! The food is great! Consistent quality and not a single bad item on the menu. This is one of those spots that will have you indecisive because you'll want to try all of their options! They have a deal with cold stone next door, so be sure to take advantage of that deal and grab some dessert next time! read more
The second I saw the menu, I knew I had to come try this place! Taiwanese popcorn chicken, char siu, and hoisin sauce on a pizza??! So unique and nostalgic for me! I got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken pizza on my first visit and it lived up to the hype. The basil aioli is TO DIE FOR. The fried Thai basil was a nice touch. The popcorn chicken was juicy. I only wish it was spicier because I did not taste the chili oil on the pizza. I ordered online and went to pick up as soon as it was ready. There were lots of seating inside. I came just before dinner time and it was empty. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area again to try some other pizzas and focaccia (the elote looks delicious). read more

This spot is located in a large plaza next to target. It has a lot of parking so no need to worry. Make sure to grab the menu since the items in the overhead menu area doesn't list all the items. We ordered a small pizza with half elote pizza and half Al pastor. They're known for their elote pizza but I honestly thought the Al pastor was sooo much better. The elote can get a bit too rich tbh. The pizza fries were meh, the fries quickly became soggy due to the tomato sauce. The service/workers were nice and quick. Took around 15 mins for the food to come out. I'd come back for their Al pastor pizza. read more

The Taiwanese popcorn chicken pizza from Rose City has my heart!!! Stopped in a quick bite and got a small pizza for dine in- pizza came out quickly and was perfect, crust/dough was super light and crispy and the chicken/basil/aioli topping combo was the perfect combo of savory, creamy, and crispy with a hint of spice. Also love that you can order draft beer and grab a bottle of NYM tea to go with it. This is fusion food done right! Food: 5/5 Price: 4.5/5 Ambience: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 read more

These specialty pies are chef's kiss. Located in Rosemead, Rose City has the super unique pizza flavors in which they combine popular food items from different cuisines to create a new dish. My friend and I got the large half elote and half birria pizza. We originally wanted to order the medium size but the staff informed us that it was just $2 more for the large. The pizza was massive when it came out. Because of the birria pizza, they provided us with consome for dipping. The pizza smelled amazing and looked absolutely delicious. Upon tasting the birria pizza, I was hit with an insane amount of flavor from the tender birria. The pizza dipped in the consome was truly the greatest thing to ever happen in food history. The elote pizza was absolutely delicious as well with a small kick of spice. The pizza was seasoned very well and had lots of plump corn kernels. The melted cheese was gooey and soft. We both managed the finish all the slices (given that that's all we ordered). Will definitely come try out their other pies the next time I visit SoCal. read more

Some of the worst pizza I have ever had in my life! Greasy with no cheese and absolutely disgusting, made me feel sick to my stomach! I'm sure this place is known for specialty pizzas, but if you can't even make a basic pepperoni and cheese pizza how can you call yourself a pizza place? I will never be returning, and if you value quality food, don't even consider eating here. read more

Only available for pick up and you can eat your pizza outdoors where there is seating. I came here today and got the Birria pizza, the meat flavorful and I just love the crust. 12.50 for a small and it's a pretty decent size. I love the tots here, not sure what it is but I will always order some plain tots to go with my pizza. read more

This review is solely for the Pupperoni Dog Pizza We placed an online order for the dog-friendly pizza because it was for my dog's birthday today. The pizza was $9.50 after tax and pretty generously sized with 6 slices and a good amount chicken. My dog loved it and easily chowed it down that I had to limit her to just half the pizza! I took a bite to try and it's not bad; it tastes much healthier than my normal meat lovers pizza. The restaurant smelled amazing so we definitely will be returning for some human pizza! Tip: don't arrive any earlier than the estimated pick up time as they make the pizzas according to that time! read more

I'm from Brooklyn and I've had a whole lotta good pizzas. From the most Italian corners of NY to the least, I've tried many in my day. Also been to Italy for pizza! Here, I found their dough to be just perfect. What's in it and how they make it, I don't know. I just know that the one I got, Aloha (ham/pineapple/perfect amount of cheese and sauce ratio) was delicious. There is a slight sweetness that comes from fresh ingredients, you can definitely get that here. I can't wait to come back to get the entire pie for myself. I see why they're so well known in the SGV. read more
