Chef Mari and Chef Carlos were very nice and welcoming when we walked in, Chef Mari in particular helped us a lot. She walked us through the concept of their menu and helped us choose a pizza/destination. We went with the Bombay Tikka Masala and Bumblebee Sting, both were amazing. The location was nice and peaceful while we ate, we will definitely be coming back again. read more

The servers was amazing walking in you get served immediately, first you get shown the menu and the different options they have. There's also an outdoor or indoor place you could sit at. Overall, the experience is really nice and the food is amazing as well. read more

Taste was ok, it's more like fusion, everything was bit too sweet. If you are looking for more authentic pizza place, it's probably not the spot. It's more like creative spot. read more

Pizza here is always fresh and amazingly tasty! Been here a few times now and I always have to get at least a tikka masala pizza as one of my orders. Fungi Lama and Habibi pizza are also delicious! Would highly recommend trying this spot out, staff are always highly helpful and attentive. Very friendly! Lots of seating and you can see right into the kitchen and their neat pizza oven. Very nice and quaint restaurant. read more

This place is awful. We tried it twice and will never go back. The crust is perfect and the menu is imaginative but the toppings and flavors are just so so and the experience is abysmal. They have zero customer service. Paper plates, okay but no plastic forks, no water, dirty tables outside. I understand the no frills, stripped down approach but this place is just not worth the effort. read more

I saw all these great reviews, so I gave them a chance. I will not be giving them a second chance! I ordered the "La Americana" pizza as a basis to judge the taste. Was not impressed at all. I'm not saying it was bad, it was just OK, lots of crust around the edges. I was there on Valentine's Day, This Pasadena place was empty, nobody was eating at any tables, while the Italian restaurant next to it was doing a good deal of business on their patio. For around $25 plus tip for a 12" pizza, did not earn the 4.8 stars. And to even ask for a tip on a takeout order? Sorry, tips are for extra service only, like maybe serving it to me at my table or delivery, not for just cooking it. Not again. read more

Ordered a few different pies to try: the Moroccan, the Habibi, the Honey, Let's Date!, and the BumbleBEE Sting. The Moroccan had a ton of depth and spice to it. Really unique flavors that you don't see on pizza often, and everything balanced together better than you'd expect. The Habibi was another standout, bold and savory with layers of flavor that kept every bite interesting. Honey, Let's Date! was easily the surprise for me. That sweet and savory mix worked way better than I thought it would, and it didn't feel gimmicky at all. Just creative and well executed. The BumbleBEE Sting brought the heat and sweetness together in a fun way, definitely one of those pizzas you remember after you leave. The place has a lively, welcoming vibe, and you can tell they take pride in what they're doing. Staff was friendly, service was smooth, and everything came out fresh. However it took a long time to get the pizzas but understandably so, because there was only one person working. He gave us the Moroccan by accident but ended up eating it anyway and told us it will be free. That was very nice of him. This isn't your standard pizza stop. It's creative, flavorful, and worth exploring the menu. Definitely coming back. read more

We are moving out of Pasadena, and last night decided to indulge at our favorite local restaurants before the move. I ordered the Guru (vegetarian) and my husband got the meat version. After we finished eating, we both expressed that we would miss being close to this place. I can't even tell you how many times we have ordered pizza from here over the years. Their pizza menu is large and exciting with options for meat eaters and vegetarians a like. I am always hesitant to try less traditional pizza toppings. However, the flavor combinations here are expertly executed and balanced. The Guru is a vegetarian version of their Tikka Masala. It isn't spicy, just delicious full flavor and perfect texture (nice thin crust). Service is friendly and fast. Interior of the restaurant is clean and well lit. read more

this place was so insanely good. I am like horrified to admit this, but I thought I would have leftovers and not finish the whole thing but I did because it was just so insanely good. I'm usually picky about Indian pizzas (they're usually just not good) and this one was incredible. Everything about this was perfect and flavorful and I want to go back to try more of their super cool global inspired pizza menu. read more

I love 786! Whether it's the Sun Valley location or the Pasadena location, this is an absolute must to check out. From the minute you walk in, the staff is always very welcoming and kind. Happy to answer any questions you have and provide recommendations. The pizza itself is amazing. I've tried a handful and there has not been one pizza that I didn't like. My favorites may be El Chapo, Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Korean Bulgogi Pizza. Such delicious halal pizza, you need to try! read more

We ordered the shrimp tuscany and the bombay tikka masala pizzas online for dinner! The pizzas were good and definitely different! Worth a try but not a craving for me (sorry but i'm not sure where the "award winning" comes from). Flavors didn't have me excited for the next bite. The pizzas were baked well and very filling for two, plus leftovers! Worker seemed nice and the interior was okay. read more

The crust was excellent, which is important. The toppings were OK but bland -- we didn't order vegan, but the sausage had the texture and flavor of vegan sausage... maybe they ran out of regular? You order from a screen so there was no way to ask questions or get recommendations. Except for water bottles, the only drinks come in a can; they are not cold and they don't have any ice. The one guy working there seemed nice. read more

Very good customer service. Chef Mari got us started with menu and showed assortment of pizza flavor/origins. Actual food was also great, thin crust plus toppings was perfect balance for nice meal. read more

We came in yesterday and ordered the vegetarian pizza and chicken tikka pizza and the lamb pizza. When I came home I noticed that the pizza was all burned in the back and we were not able to eat all of it. We had guests over too and they complained that they were not able to eat it all. We were truly disappointed about this. This used to be our favorite pizza place but sad to see their success has affected the quality. read more

Very thinly crusted pizza that is unique in taste. Not mushy. More crunchy with every bite if eaten right away. Ordered the mushroom pizza and was perfectly baked. Dough was salted just perfectly. Truffle and oil are a great combo with mushroom and arugula. Arguably a one of a kind. Just eat your pizza fast as it gets gold and rough very fast since the dough is rolled very thinly like a NY pizza. Would like to come often however live in the West side. Will need to try weekends however parking is quite hard to find. Weekdays have it easy finding street parking! read more

This local, unique, and delicious award-winning pizza spot has been occupied by my partner and I many times, and will always come back for more! P.S. For other pet parents like us, the patio outside is dog-friendly! Staff are always very welcoming and prompt with getting pizzas out, and the ambiance is beautiful, with a lit patio and the experience of watching them work the wood-fired pizza oven! There's a reason why many of their pizzas are award-winning: they are uniquely delicious, and other pizza spots truly don't compare! Flavors we have tried are: -Bombay Tikka Masala -Istanbul Turkish Pizza -Pepperoni Bee Sting -Bulgogi Gangnam Style -La Americana We have not finished eating our way through the menu but will DEFINITELY do so. Also, it is important to note that these pizzas are best experienced fresh out of the oven, so definitely dine in! (We do want to note that we have taken these pizzas for take out before, and they are still good! Definitely toss them in the oven if you can :) ) Expect us to come by soon! We will never get tired of you Sappori Di 786! read more

Had two delicious pizzas at Sapporo Di 786 Degrees. The tikka masala and napolitana--both came out hot and quick! The staff/chef were vey helpful and accommodating. Would certainly come back again for both the food and excellent service. Plus, parking is easy and tables inside and out for you to sit and enjoy your food. read more

Yum great pizza! We came here on a Friday at 3P and the pizza took longer than expected. He said it'd only take 20 min but jt ended up being closer to 40 min. Understandably there were a ton of orders and he did give us free drinks because of the wait so it was ok. Ordered one of their most popular tikka masala pizza and the margherita pizza -- both were really good. read more

We shared the Bombay tikka masala pizza ($19) on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We chose this pizza because we really like Indian food. We enjoyed the delicious pizza; it tasted very flavorful. After ordering on a kiosk, one of the staff members asked us if we visited for the first time. In saying yes, we got free soda cans. Although we acknowledged that the menu said that this pizza won an award, it was a little pricy and small for sharing. I think I wouldn't have felt full if I didn't have a soda. Also, the crust was a little too thin for my liking. Next time, I think it would be better to buy two pizzas or have a party of three visit. I had an easy time finding parking as there was open space on the curbside. The ambience was fine and quiet during this time. read more

we went on a trip to Pasadena & tried the tiki misala pizza & shrimp alfredo pizza! both pizzas were a 10/10!!! i saw that they had mushrooms previously on the shrimp pizza, so i hope they bring that back but otherwise such a great pizza spot. there was only one man working & he was a nice, hardworking man! he was the only one working & making the pizzas. great date spot or to go spot! read more

Carlos was incredibly friendly and provided a thorough rundown of what makes Sapori Di 786 Degrees stand out. They use lava to cook the pizzas, which allows them to cook in just two minutes. They also offer punch cards that function like a passport, allowing you to check off all 12 countries to earn a free pizza. The ordering process is done via a kiosk, and while they offer a variety of unique pizzas, customization options are limited. The Bombay Tikka Masala (India) and Bulgogi Gangnam Style (South Korea) are popular choices. We started with the Funghi Lama (France), which was good but lacked the truffle oil and flavor we expected, after hearing about it from Carlos. The crust, however, was impressively thin yet sturdy enough to hold all the toppings without falling apart or getting soggy. Since the first pizza didn't quite satisfy us in terms of flavor or richness, we decided to try the Bombay Tikka Masala. This pizza was much more flavorful and delicious, though it wasn't as heavy or rich as traditional chicken tikka masala. Carlos provided attentive service and even let us have free drinks since it was our first visit (limited options: soda and water). However, despite the great service, the overall experience didn't feel outstanding. The vibe inside was a bit off--lots of tables felt cluttered, and pizza boxes and plates and trophies on the same table you order at. There was also a large TV playing the owner's video interviews and media appearances on loop, which didn't add to the ambiance. read more

The most unique pizza place I have ever been to. Each pizza is inspired by a different country, and features the best flavors from that country. They really make pizzas intentional. The dough is perfectly thin, chewy, and cooked perfectly with just enough burnt crust to complement the incredible flavors from the toppings. Each pizza is 8 slices and meant to be personal sized. Staff are very friendly, the interior is a bit messy but the quality of the food makes up for it. read more

Unexpected gem! We stumbled across this pizza spot and were pleasantly surprised. Mir, our server, was incredibly kind and walked us through the whole menu. We ended up trying the tikka masala pizza, and wow, it was so delicious. The sauce had great flavor, but the real standout for me was the dough. It reminded me of Tokyo-style pizza: super thin, light, chewy, and still had a nice crisp to it. Would definitely come back to try more flavors, but the tikka masala was a hit! read more

This establishment is NOT your regular pizza parlor. Do not go here expecting a regular pizza experience. Their goal is to introduce pizzas using international, region specific flavors. My dad asked for some red pepper flakes to add to his pizza and they refused because it would ruin the integrity of the flavor profile for the international area he had picked... Really he had just wanted a meat-lovers type pizza with a little pepper. The rest of us got a French pizza, an Indian pizza, and I can't remember what my mom got but I remembered that she had asked for half vegan and half no cheese pizza but they misunderstood and did half vegan and half regular cheese. It was ultimately a very unenjoyable experience for a group of regular pizza loving folks. However, I could see it being very enjoyable if you're in an adventurous international flavor sort of mood. The first server to meet us explained the system well, made customized recommendations, and said to ask if we just needed anything. The second server was a bit rude and unwilling to compromise or customize so we got a bit of whiplash. The shop itself is a tiny hole in the wall and the signage was a bit confusing, but we eventually found it. The bathroom and dining area were in good enough shape. read more

After hiking nearby Altadena, I was craving a wood-fired pizza and found this place. Chef Mari made my first visit an amazing one!

Will be using this place as our go to after a hike from now on! Thank you Chef Mari and Chef Carlos! read more

Went by this place on a quiet Sunday before the rush. Pizzaolo was the only one there, friendly and generous. Got the Tikka Masala and the El Chapo. The El Chapo was the showstopper. Perfect texture and great flavor to the tomato sauce. Would 100% come back just to try their other unique offerings. read more

My partner swears on his life this pizza is the best he's ever had, but I'm not sure if that's true... I found this pizza "good" and affordable for a mom and pop shop. We didn't get anything crazy, but their NY Style pizza. I was in the mood for a simple cheese and tomato sauce, and while this did indeed have both, it seemed rather thin in toppings and dough. I read reviews where the owner might chastise people for doing takeout, but I'm glad I did not experience that. I had a very tight schedule and wasn't staying in LA long, so I really needed to take the pizza out to continue with my errands. Pizza was left in a warming oven and next to the door--score for an easy pick up! Additionally, I did enjoy that the pizza wasn't soggy and that it was done on time for pick up. Maybe I'll try another different pizza the next time I stop by. Seems like this place is doing well in ratings, so I'll check out what others like to order for my next pizza. read more

From the moment you walk into this establishment you're greeted with a friendly face and are taken all around the world with their menu. I had the Habibi and the Red Pie. It was epic! Great atmosphere and will most def be returning soon read more

Incredible, innovative flavors and variety on a thin crust similar to naan. I expected smaller, personal sized pizza, but we ordered a different one per person and enjoyed the variety with plenty of leftovers. Super fast service as well--definitely above my expectations for a Friday evening! read more

Delicious! Found this charming spot by accident for lunch one weekend and so happy we did. Excellent customer service as soon as we arrived. We sat outside with our dog & scanned the QR code to order. Our server kindly took his time to explain the menu & concept to us. Between the two of us we ordered 3 pizzas (some slices made their way home). Each pizza was jam packed with flavors and I'm not sure we had a favorite because seriously they were all incredibly delicious. They provide a card which gets stamped with each pie you order so you can taste the flavors from around the world. Casual environment. Street parking. No alcohol, cold canned beverages & bottled water available. read more

Extremely disappointed in this visit. We've been to the other location in LA. This location did not compare and was not very good. The pizzas lacked flavor. The place was very dirty. The tables were dirty and there were crumbs all over the floor. There was only one person working so maybe he didn't have the capacity to do it all but we will not be back to this location. read more

As soon as we came in Carlos greeted us and came over to walk us through their menu, he was enthusiastic and clearly very passionate about the business. We ordered five pizzas for our group of six: Bumble Bee Sting, Bulgogi Gangnam Style, Bombay Tikka Masala, Habibi, and the classic Margherita. Each pizza came out fresh and hot one at a time so we could enjoy them immediately. My entire group agreed the Habibi and the Bumble Bee Sting were the best, absolutely delicious. On a Sunday afternoon there was no wait and the food came fast. We will absolutely be back! read more

Was going to take a picture but I inhaled my pizza. We got the El chapo pizza and the habibi I recommend the second if you are in a tough spot. I would've never thought the pizza would work but it did with all the toppings and right sauce. It was like a flavor explosion in my mouth and so I highly recommend the habibi. Will definitely come to try a different pizza next time. read more

My sister and I stopped by for dinner today and the pizza was so good. We ordered the El Chapo and Istanbul pizzas. Both pizzas were delicious, especially the Istanbul with its delicious Haideri sauce. The service was amazing - super attentive and friendly. There's plenty of indoor as well as outdoor seating. It's a really cozy place and we'd definitely come back. We ordered two pizzas to go for our husbands - the Bulgogi and All Fired Up. Thank you, 786 Degrees! read more

I want to love this place because of how unique the concept is, but it missed the mark for me in a few areas. The first was the wait. We waited nearly 30 minutes for our two pans to come out. The second was the one size fits all approach - you can't choose which size pan nor can you get pizza by the slice, which is a shame because they have so many interesting flavors but you have to commit to a whole pan. We got the Bombay Tikka Masala and Neapolitan, and for two people this was enough because it's super thin. I liked how tender the chicken was cooked on the former. The sauce wasn't exactly like tikka masala sauce I've had before because the flavors were more muted. I wasn't a fan of how charred the crust was that it ended up being more crunchy than chewy. I came here with high expectations because of how much raves this place gets, but after visiting here I now think there are better pizza places that offer more pronounced tastes, quicker service and more flexibility in customizing. read more
