I'm gonna tell you right now. This is a delicious pizza well worth waiting for I drove by and noticed it decided to pull in. Ordered the uptown special the perfect blend of vegetables, cheese, marinara sauce, and meat. I was told it would take about 35 minutes but trust me as soon as I've been in that pizza I don't even remember how long it took all I know I went straight to heaven. This pizza is delicious. They have so many others to try but they also offer sandwiches here. Parking is good and I don't regret a single second stop by or even find out if you can call Dean but when you bite into it, you'll feel the same sensation I did... Wow, somebody found a way to serve heaven in a Pizza. read more

Before Uptown Pizza Co. existed, this was the location of much loved but much misunderstood Lamppost Pizza, which was(/is?) a chain in name and logo only--I believe every single Lamppost location was franchised. I know this one was. I'm not going to bore or bedazzle or befuddle or bedraggle you with (too many) stories of Uptown Whittier's Lamppost Pizza, mostly because most of those stories are my brother's and his friends' and his former coworkers' (sometimes the same people) stories to tell. I'll only mention Big Frank (RIP) and Tim and Jason and Louie ("Yeah!" "yeah!")--yes, that Louie (RIP). But Lamppost is in Uptown Pizza Co.'s DNA, or at least Big Frank's special, super secret sauce is baked into the walls of this place's pizza oven, because all these years and decades later, the pizza from Uptown Pizza Co. tastes very similar to the pizza from Lamppost Pizza in the 1980s and 1990s, which is to say that it's very good. "But John S.," you're probably shouting from your easy chair, "if the owner(s) of Uptown Pizza Co. bought the business from Big Frank, then he probably gave the owner(s) his recipe!" And there, my dear, intrepid, and sadly all too impressionable readers, you would be dead wrong. Frank never shared his recipe with anyone. Not with Tim (his most trusted manager), not with his two sons (whom he hoped would take over the business), and not even with his wife. It was such a secret that Frank refused to make the sauce at the pizza place, lest someone should see him and reverse engineer the recipe by sight. No, he assembled the sauce packets on the kitchen table in his house on Mollyknoll Avenue way on the eastern side of Whitter, loaded the packets into his truck, and brought them to work each day. Perhaps unknowingly, Uptown Pizza Co. pays a kind of perverse homage to Big Frank's secretive sauce packets by giving away its Parmesan cheese in little plastic dime bags. The pizza is very good. Every time my brother is in town and we're talking about ordering pizza, he's the first to volunteer to drive all the way to Uptown to pick it up. If these walls could talk, they'd get an R-rating for bad language alone. And don't even get me started on what transpired in the alley behind the pizza shop. I don't even want to know the truth. read more

Came here looking for a slice deal (didnt have), but left ordering a personal pizza. Pizza was good, crunchy and pretty tasty.. i ordered with Pepperoni and mushrooms. At first, when i got it, i was like wow, this is small, but its actually quite filling. Not to thin, and not too thick. Sauce i thought was really good. I was going to pay using my debit, but the total for the one topping personal was 9.45. There is a charge for anything under 10 if using your debit card, so i just added another topping. The place itself is small.. Had one table in the front of the shop, that would probably seat 3. Its more of an order and pickup place than sit down. The owner, im guessing working there was really nice, and cordial. read more

Good pizza but definitely not the best pizza here in Whittier! While the cheese and toppings were a solid 10/10 and very fresh! I felt like the crust and dough was a premade pull out of the freezer already made dough! read more

This restaurant is very cozy from the inside. Pizza was amazing! Worth every single penny for it's freshness and quality. George was very sweet to my husband and I, especially when it came to answering our questions regarding substitutions on our pizza. He was very warm and friendly, his patience and enthusiasm was infectious! Will be coming here again! read more

Very tasty pizza. Lots of toppings, good tasting tomato sauce base, sturdy crust, very filling. I ordered the veggie pizza. It had so much crunch and texture, I felt like I was eating a pizza with meat on it. I ordered ahead and picked it up at the shop. The people working there were very friendly. I didn't notice any tables inside, so I think this is a take out/ delivery place. It's located in a small strip mall. Lots of parking. read more

Huge pizza fan and this one didn't disappoint! I've never had this pizza spot but I always pass by and my friend picked one up. They were not skimpy on the toppings and everything tasted very fresh! I love that they literally give you all of the veggies. Second day pizza warmed up in the microwave was also great and the crust was still great! Overall great pizza I will be back read more

This is our "go to" for takeout pizza in Whittier. This place has been around forever. Im pretty sure it changed owners and managers last year but there has been no drop off in taste or service. I would dare say all of the above have improved. read more

We really like the pizza they make. The crust is crispy and they use plenty of pepperoni. If we are buying a pizza we dont want one that tastes like frozen store bought junk. Good pizza and nice people. read more

Nope. Pizza is NOT good. Suprised its still in business. Way better option around plus less money.

Bought a large pepperoni/sausage with extra sauce. DAM their pizza is freaking GOOD!! They usually run late getting it ready but worth it- so so good read more

Second times the charm. I'm definitely glad I revisited this establishment. Staff was very kind and attentive. Service was great. Food was very good. I ordered the Uptown Special and don't regret doing so . This pizza was a great size and portioned just right. Ordering an "everything " pizza can be daunting but not this one. It was well seasoned and I could taste the freshness and care that went into making it. This will be my go to pizza when I return. read more

Doesn't matter when I come or who is working, service here is always great. I usually order over the phone and opt for pickup, but they do offer delivery too. Unless they're super busy it usually doesn't take more than 20-30 for the pizza to be ready. Their pizzas are always perfectly topped and the crust is incredible. Easily my favorite pizza in whittier. Their salads are awesome too! read more

I've been eating here for over 20 years and it's always the same the best pizza in up town great prices $$ good people and nice and crispy

Best pizza in Whittier in my opinion. We love the Uptown Special Pizza and we add jalapeños to it. Since it has about 6-7 toppings they have to leave it in the oven a little longer so it all cooks evenly and the crust comes out nice and toasty!!! Such a great hole in the wall place. They have fresh garlic as a topping too, and I was really happy with it. Here's a picture of a half and half uptown special/pepperoni garlic... it's really good. read more

By far one of the best pizzas I've had. Fresh veggies, plenty of cheese, soft and thick crust. The large one was perfect for our family of 5. read more

I love there pizza but it's just that male delivery guy is rude and you see him messing with his privates when behind the courter. He in my opinion should be fired due to the fact he is inconsistent. He delivered my pizza's cold. I had called it in at 6:30 and they said it would take 30 minutes to deliver. So I was fine with that but when my pizza got to my house at 8? There is no reason for it to be almost 2 hours late. read more

Great pizza. The crust was perfectly crispy and the toppings were generous. The service was excellent from the phone order to delivery. Glad to find this new pizza place. read more

Hole in the wall with really good pizza. The people there are very kind and polite and make you feel welcome. Pretty much pickup only except for one table for 3. The pizza dough is not thick or thin and is cooked perfectly. The bottom of the crust allows you to hold a slice without it flopping over and the outer crust if flaky outside and soft baked dough inside. It's a bit pricey for a pizza so hopefully it doesnt go up or it will be time to search for another spot. read more

I ordered a small pizza, veggie for delivery. While ordering I asked pricing for the pizza it was 15.99 I asked price for gluten free crust they stated it was the same price. ( 1 st red flag) . The pizza took an hour. I love right down the street. It came out was burnt, small, they delivered it I opened it up it was burnt even the cheese was burned I ran outside to Tell them and there was two people and they both got out of the car and approached me and became rude I had already paid for it he had the $20 in his hand and I told him I wanted my money back and he could get his pizza back the girl came out of the car very aggressive stating that I will not get a refund and that I have to have the pizza I told her to call her boss she didn't want to and said that I would only get $15 back because it's a $5 service charge for delivery I grabbed my 20 bucks and gave her her pizza and told her goodbye. I immediately called her manager or his manager and explained it he did nothing acted like he didn't care I would never ever go to this place or recommend it. Be careful with your delivery drivers too why are there two people working together who are bullying your customers. Buyers beware. read more

This place can really make someone feel at home. Service was amazing and any place that cares for their customers, also cares for their food, and that's what makes food taste amazing. Definitely coming back! read more

It was average and expensive. The wings were not good. The potato wedges were ok, and the ranch wasn't good. The staff was nice, but I won't be coming back. read more

The crust is the absolute star of this pizza. It was unusually thick and the recipe tasted very original. The pizza was substantive. The people were nice as well. They called to ask me a question to ensure they made it right, and they actually brought the pizza out to my car. read more

I was in the area and thought I'd bring some pizza back to treat a couple of my coworkers to lunch. I'm glad I chose this place. I got a large pepperoni pizza and a large half "uptown Italian" and half "meat lovers". The toppings, sauce and the ingredients tasted really fresh and of high quality. I really like their dough and crust texture. The thickness is just right in my opinion. Not thin or thick with some fluffyness and crispness all in one. The staff here are also friendly. 10/10. read more
