I got the diavola pizza. Neapolitan style is my favorite, and when it came out it was amazing. The tomato sauce had the perfect level of acidity, and the dough complemented it really well.

Then saw a unique appetizer salad item on menu "Involtini" $16. It was a great appetizer consisting of arugula, and goat cheese wrapped in prosciutto, with an impressive large thin sliced piece of Parmesan on top drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Very unique and good, I look forward to replicating at home with a little more balsamic. I ordered the Settebello $21 pizza as a main entree of which I thought was advertised with pancetta, mushrooms and Italian sausage. Pizza came out hot and fresh, but with prosciutto instead of the perceived menu listed pancetta. Pizza sauce was good, the sausage and mushrooms were great. Crust was a little doughy, not crispy but charcoal charred in places. Not phenomenal but not bad, middle of the road overall. Service started off great but fell flat to the floor. Drinks and food came out on time indicating bar staff and kitchen staff were on point. Waiting staff could up their game. No check up or check in. No offers for drink refills or another round. I had to ask for refills on water. Final bill $56.35 for one drink, appetizer and pizza for a solo dinner. Three (3) stars at best! Room for improvements.

I saw that they have a bunch of pizzas and sandwiches on the menu and while I love pizza, I just had pizza the day before so I decided to try their sandwiches. The person who helped me was pretty no nonsense and efficient, I guess this is what it feels like if you are actually in Brooklyn? lol There are a variety of lunch specials daily from 11 am - 4 pm, and happy hour with $3 draft beers from 3 pm - 7 pm. PIzza options look really good, whole round pies are 18", 8 slices, and are all about $30. Square pizzas are also about $30 for 8 slices. I ordered the Cajun Bridge sandwich (cold) because I like all things spicy, and I love squaw bread, so this one was calling my name. So glad I did because it was so good and hit the spot! There are two entrances into the restaurant. The counter to order, as well as restrooms, requires you to go down a level, but the left entrance has a lift if you need in order to go down.

It's always great to see pizza spots offering slices to go or slices to enjoy inside. The location on Fair Oaks in the busy streets of Old Town Pasadena. Parking garages are all nearby or street parking around the building. The location has a number of tables and TVs to enjoy the games. The staff here were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. There were an abundance of ready made slices to select. Per the staff, they have vegan cheese options for whole pizzas, but none for ready made slices. Just as an FYI. They also offer a number of sandwiches as well. The number of items is vast and of great variety. Now for the pizza. The selection was a mix NY slices and square slices. I was looking for some to go. So I decided on the squares cause I love those slices! I went with Pepperoni Grandma and a Pepperoni Honey DeNiro. The staff will heat it up for you on the oven and even cut slices in half to enjoy them. I loved the flavors and the crisp edges. It had a great crunch in each bite and taste was solid. My favorite of the too was the Pepperoni Honey DeNiro. The hot honey on this slice made this option stand out to me. The mix of sweet and savory paired with heat is my kind of combo of flavor. :) I would come back again if I'm craving pizza and would think of the trying a sandwich too in the future because their menu looked good. Thanks, Brooklyn Square! ( ^_^)b

Saying the pizza crust at this place is great would be an understatement in my book. It's not too…read moreflimsy, and not too crunchy, but perfectly crisp. I've had a lot of pizza from New York City, to Italy, to many destinations in between and this crust is up there as some of the best especially to be based in California. That being said, I've had better pizza. The sauce really left something to be desired. It was underwhelming and a bit bland. The wow factor was definitely missing and sauce tends to really make or break a good slice of pizza. Same goes for the cheese used...It just lacked that yummy cheesy goodness you usually anticipate when you bite into a slice and it didn't help that they were a little skimpy with how much cheese they put on their pizza. I think this place would be phenomenal if they took the time to nail the sauce down and really invested in good quality cheese. They're so close just missing the mark on the flavor. The crust absolutely saves them from being bad but it still made it just an "okay" slice of pizza. The staff at the order window were friendly and helpful. The environment could use a little cleaning but overall it seems like it reflected the hipster/ quick eats vibe they're going for and it works for their business. Try this spot out and judge for yourself.

Wow busy place!! For good reason- the food is incredible!…read more I ordered an online order to be picked up at 5:30 pm. When I got there, they let me know it would be a few minutes. About 20 minutes later I asked if they were behind on schedule and the guy said Friday nights were busy. 30 minutes later my order came out and they told me they forgot to make one of my pizzas.

They only have outdoor seating, which gives the place a nice vibe. What doesn't give a good vibe is the service. I honestly don't know if I came in on the wrong day, but it was some of the worst customer service I've experienced. It's a pizza place. The girl who took our order was incredibly rude and had such an attitude toward me and my friend. It was my first time there, and she was the type of person who made you feel dumb for asking questions. My friend asked if they had garlic sauce, and instead of simply answering, she responded with, "We never had that," and listed ranch and the other sauces with an attitude. Then she said something under her breath that I couldn't hear clearly. I thought she said there was a 3-hour wait, so we asked for clarification. She responded with even more attitude. At that point, I honestly wasn't even interested in the pizza anymore. The owner was standing at the end of the counter. The place is very small, so either he didn't hear how she was treating customers, or he allows it. This is a business. Getting an attitude with someone who's simply trying to order a pizza is crazy. Even when our food was ready, the employee just set the plates down like she was annoyed we were there. The pizza was good, but the customer service was so bad that I wouldn't come back.

I was so sad to drive by yesterday and see that Bambino's was gone. The building was empty, and…read morethere was a new sign out front announcing that a café is coming soon. It honestly broke my heart. The man who I assume was the owner always seemed to be running the place himself. He was a true one-man show, and somehow still managed to make the best wings I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating when I say I'd buy those wings out of someone's backyard if he was still making them. They were that good. Bambino's was one of Pasadena's hidden gems. I genuinely think more people would have fallen in love with it if it had been in a busier, more visible location. The food deserved so much more recognition. I'm really hoping this isn't the end of Bambino's. If the owner ever opens another location, starts a food truck, or even just starts selling those wings somewhere else, I'll be one of the first people in line. Thank you for all the incredible meals and memories. You'll definitely be missed.
