Unique Pizzeria - Looks amazing - Pizza Near Me - Glendale, California

Used to be great, but new owners have led to truly terrible service. Unique Pizza has been our go-to spot for years. As of Dec. 2025, the husband and wife who owned the shop have sold to new owners. Unfortunately, at least so far, the new folks fall far short of the precedent set by the previous owners. I went to their website (not an app like uber eats or slice, their website uniquepizzeriamenu.com) and placed a to-go order. They have added an option for delivery, so I thought I'd give that a try. I paid a $6 delivery fee, and left a $7 tip on top of that. I got a series of notifications that they were more backed up than usual, and I could expect delivery in about an hour. No worries. I had plenty of work to keep me occupied. About 50 minutes later, someone from the shop rang me up. "Your pizza is ready," they said. I explained that I had ordered delivery. "We don't do delivery," they said. I told the guy that was weird, because I ordered from their website, where delivery was an option, and had paid a delivery fee and tip. The guy on the phone curtly told me he didn't know what to tell me, but they don't have delivery, so if I want my Pizza, I can come to the store and pick it up. I tell him OK, I'll be there in 15 minutes. So, I drove up the road (in the rain) to the store. Upon arrival, I see that the new owners have redecorated. I hate to be harsh, but they have transformed a cozy, homy pizza shop into something else entirely -- they have added a geometric textured wall, uplit by bright neon purple spotlights. The place looks like it's going for a cold nightclub aesthetic, except for the "live laugh love" style salt and pepper shakers on the tables. But, you know, I don't think they get a lot of dine-in guests, so, whatever. After waiting in line, I get up to the front. I have my receipt, and I'm hoping that maybe they can refund me my delivery charge -- if not, no worries. I give the guy my name and he looks at me like I'm an idiot. "The delivery guy already picked up your order." Of course, I'm baffled. "Are you the guy I just talked to on the phone?" I ask. He says he is. "You told me you don't have delivery." Rolling his eyes, the guy explains to me that just after we got off the phone, a delivery driver he didn't know came, and gave my name. So, he gave my Pizza to this driver. I ask if it occurred to him to maybe call me back. Before he could answer, the delivery driver called me, annoyed that he'd been knocking on my door and no-one was home to accept the delivery. Ultimately, the driver ended up leaving my pizza on the ground in front of my apartment, where it was rained on for 15 minutes as I drove home to get it it. The guy at the counter was utterly unapologetic, and acted like I was inconveniencing him because of this mix-up. I'm sure what happened was, this business is under new ownership. They have set up their website so that someone can order delivery, which, behind the scenes, is handled by the Slice app. Slice then uses Uber Eats drivers to pick up the pizza. The guy behind the counter was unaware of this, and when he saw I had ordered delivery, he didn't know what to do, so he called me and asked me to pick up the pizza. Then when the Uber Eats driver showed up, he didn't know what to do, so he just gave the guy my pizza. It's all kind of understandable, a funny growing pain of new ownership. The way it was handled, though, was really frustrating and inconsiderate. Needless to say, after being a regular customer for years, this was my last order from Unique Pizza. My advice for the new owners: - Make sure you train everyone working the register on how delivery orders work on your website. - Tell your customer service folks to be nicer. The customer isn't always right, but when something gets messed up, take ownership of the mistake and try to make it right with kindness. - The new decor, especially the uplighting, is not working and creates an uncomfortable ambiance. You may want to rethink it. read more

Miss the old owners and the old pizza... not enough sauce? Waxy cheese? I don't know, it seems different.

My first time trying Unique Pizza and wow, it was awesome! Picking up was easy, and the staff was so friendly--big smiles and warm vibes made it a breeze. I got the Chicken Alfredo Pizza and the Persian Pizza with sesame crust. Both were amazing! The Chicken Alfredo was creamy, rich, and packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The Persian Pizza was next-level--the sesame crust was crispy, nutty, and so good with the bold toppings. One was regular crust and one was thin Both crusts were perfect: chewy, golden, and just right. Unique Pizza totally impressed with their delicious pizzas and great service, even for a quick pickup. Five stars, and I can't wait to order again! read more

This is my new favorite pizza spot! It's humbly located in a small plaza near Glendale city College, but the food is incredible! I crave their chicken Alfredo pizza. The combination of the Alfredo sauce and mushrooms are heavenly. The chunks of chicken are quite large and tend to dry up a bit so I wish they were smaller but otherwise it's a perfect pizza with an amazing crust. My son and husband usually order the Hawaiian pizza. So these two medium specialty pizzas would run you around $40. And they took over 30 minutes to prepare so that's something to keep in mind. read more

Awesome Mom and Pop pizza shop! Easy online ordering via the Slice app. Lots of pizza options. Large portions and reasonable prices. Chicken alfredo pizza is amazing, as is the Khachapuri with egg. Wings are great too and come with ranch. Overall an excellent to-go pizza joint, check it out if you are in the area! read more

Great local shop ran by a husband and wife. Pizzas are fantastic, my favorite is the Mexican. Give them a little extra time when you order, I have never seen any help in the shop. Great to see a family run business. read more

This place is awesome! Honestly some of the best sandwiches and pizza I've had. I grew up with a dad who was in the restaurant business so it takes a lot for me to have this opinion about a place. Great food, fast service, friendly staff and most importantly super clean.I will forever recommend this place! read more

Very nice people that own this pizza, but the quality and taste is not good. Shocked to see the rating that it has. We used to go here and it was better, had a bad experience recently. Again nice people, but pizza quality not good. read more

Love the food The pasta Alfredo was amazing Very good service Will be back again Recommend to everybody to come and enjoy read more

Service was terrible. I prepaid and ordered for pickup, but when I arrived they couldn't even find my order in the system. I ended up waiting another 20 minutes, and when the food was finally ready there was no apology at all. Instead, they blamed me for "not coming on time," even though they were the ones who weren't prepared. Really disappointing experience. I won't be coming back. read more

Honestly the best pizza I've had in a really long time! The new owner's are super nice and friendly and made my pizza the exact way I like it. I highly recommend :) read more

This place used to be great, but everything changed after the new owner took over. Since then, I've tried their pizzas and sandwiches multiple times, and unfortunately they were terrible. The quality is nothing like it used to be. read more

I found my new favorite spot! The food is delicious and affordable, and the staff are incredibly kind and friendly. The place was also spotless. I'll definitely be recommending it! read more

These are some of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Granted I was very hungry when I gorged on the beef tongue sandwich, but I couldn't stop eating it once I started. The bread is sesame seed topped and toasted perfectly. The beef tongue was tender as Elvis love song, and the ingredients in the sandwich were fresh and tasty. I can't wait to try some of their other offerings. read more

I've found my new go-to pizza spot! It's tucked away in a modest little plaza near Glendale City College, but don't let the location fool you--the food is absolutely amazing. I'm obsessed with their chicken Alfredo pizza. The creamy Alfredo sauce paired with mushrooms is just chef's kiss. The chicken pieces are pretty generous in size, which sometimes makes them a bit dry--I'd love it if they were cut smaller--but honestly, the flavor and that perfectly crisp crust make up for it. My wife and daughter are all about the Hawaiian pizza, so we usually grab both. Two medium specialty pizzas come out to around $40, and they take about 30 minutes to prepare, so just a heads-up if you're in a rush. Totally worth the wait, though! read more

Hands down, the best pizza I've ever had! The crust was perfectly crispy, the sauce was rich and tangy, and the cheese was melted to perfection. Toppings were generous and flavorful. Highly recommend! 5/5 stars! The Customer service was great! Their fries is BOMB!!! read more

Definitely recommend. read more

Chicken wings were quite good, but otherwise quality of food was lacking some concerns about the cleanliness of the kitchen from what I observed. Staff was nice . Sure this is based off of one experience but does not seem like a 4.8 star pizza joint. read more

This place is awesome! The pizza tastes great and the staff is very helpful. I got the large pepperoni pizza that is the special. I was going to get a medium pepperoni & black olive pizza and the women behind the counter suggested the special, because it would save me some money and I would get more pizza.

I LOVE this place. So yes the prices are a little more than your traditional chain pizzeria, but it's well worth it. I've tried their Mexican piazza, the Persian, and a few traditional ones, and I'm never discounted. The quality of the ingredients are great, very fresh and it always taste so good. The lady is always very friendly, and the food is always on point; and the crust is amazing. LOVE this place, and we have even ordered from here for big parties. read more

I love their pizza!! I recently served it at a birthday party and I got compliments from the other parents.

This pizza does not compare to any other pizza chain out there. They are family owned and really put care into their pizza and ingredients. The pizzas here are packed with toppings. The sauce is really nice and flavorful, and the crust is absolutely perfect everytime. Another amazing thing is they never charge for jalapeños, cheese, and crushed red peppers unlike other big chains. Definitely check this place out and order your next pizza which them. The prices cant compete corporate prices, but the size of their pizzas address much bigger, much more toppings, and you are contributing to a local small business read more

Our favorite local spot for a high quality, good tasting pizza! Always cooked to perfection, freshly made, and chock full of toppings. Sweet mom and pop owners as well so it's nice to support local entrepreneurs. read more
