Birria (8x10) pizza with consume and also medium spicy chipotle sauce
Frank O.

First experience was more in 4-4.5 star range but I'll round up to 5 with the hopes that next visit will be a saucier pizza. Overall great experience, and if you like this I suggest you also check out Fuji and Vi's in Pasadena. Ordered ahead by phone for take out of the small Birria pizza. I was quoted 20 min and it was in fact 20 min. This is Detroit Style deep dish, and there was delicious and crunchy cooked cheese crust all around. The birria pizza comes with consommé broth, and the staff also gave me some medium spiciness chipotle sauce. The pizza by itself has some robust flavor from the marinated beef, but it was also dry and salty. Dipping the crust in consommé fixes the dryness but now the broth flavor dominates (and I preferred the birria over the broth). The chipotle sauce didn't pair well with the Birria marinade. I was told that the Birria was the most popular, followed by 7-Cheese and Street Taco. I'll try a different pizza at next visit, and hopefully the street taco will be saucier, or pair better with the chipotle sauce. Or maybe a typically pepperoni with tomato sauce would be the right choice for me. Maybe both

Cheesy garlic bread- after this arrived we were too busy enjoying this to take any more pics!

My family and I went for lunch for the first time today. The first thing I noticed was how clean & organized the restaurant looked and how kind the staff was. Now the food- WOW!! This spot puts an unexpected twist on classic Detroit deep dish by adding a Mediterranean flair that really sets it apart. We tried the Detroit deep dish and the Mediterranean pizza. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with toppings and spices that give each bite amazing flavor. We also tried three types of wings and their AMAZING garlic bread cheese dip (which for THIS alone I will be back for!!) and everything was sooo good -- super tasty and satisfying. If you're looking for something different from your usual pizza night, this is the place. It may become your new favorite like it did mine!! Xtra Cheese is a MUST TRY!

HALF AND HALF

Great pizza spot but be prepared for a hit in the pocket. 40.00 for a large friends. Okay that said. Pizza was very good. Great CRUSR. SOME OF THD BEST I HAVE HAD. Tons of toppings and Great customer service. We ordered half and half...Chipotle shrimp and Mediterranean. My daughter loved them. I was not a fan guys. But I loved the crust. I will opt for pepperoni if I go back. MEAT toppings were frozen and tasted frozen to me. However...I am very picky. BOTH my daughters loved the pizza. I will definitely come back and just have pepperoni.

Detroit Pepperoni (8x10)
Kristina M.

Not super amazing, nor bad. I liked the texture of the crust; nice & crisp on the outside with that cheesy chewy dough as you bit and chewed into it. Got the Detroit Pepperoni and I think for me, it was just too much marinara for my liking. Pepperoni was large so I thought it was good proportion to the pizza and tasted delicious. Service was ok and just overall quiet. The place is quaint, super casual, clean, and had plenty of seating area options. Nothing above average, nor anything bad to say about this place. They have other food options on their menu besides pizza; like Pastas, Salads, Wings so in case anybody was curious if they served anything else but pizza. Captures of menu attached for your reference.

Forgot to do a before and after picture but here is the after lol had there street taco pizza and man it was delicious the blend of everything is amazing and the crust is so cheesy and burnt it blends in perfectly with the asada reminds me of getting a queso taco and then I had the Detroit pizza and added ricotta cheese to it if you live close by and haven't had this place i definitely recommend it both pies get a 10/10 for me

Deandre H.

I really like this place. I don't eat pork and the meat topping style taste great. They have the best tomato sauce I have ever tasted. I have been coming here for 3 years.

Detroit Pepperoni
Paul S.

High quality, halal, delicious dough and ingredients. Get the Detroit Pepperoni. It's a different style compared to the boring pizza out there

Chipotle shrimp size small
Samuel L.

I got a chipotle shrimp pizza and it was so filling. I loved the burnt cheese crust that was so flavorful. We were treated with great care and service. It gets loud when full but luckily it was only a couple tables occupied when we ate. I'd come back again for sure.

Detroit perdonó deep dish pizza with hot wings and jalapeño ranch!
Jim J.

Just tried the Detroit Pepperoni and an order of buffalo hot wings! First up was the hot wings, served piping hot and perfectly smothered in buffalo sauce with just the right amount of crunch they give you the clinch of ranch, jalapeño ranch or blue Cheese for dipping, I went with the jalapeño ranch and it was thick and tasty! The pizza was served immediately after and was outstanding. The crust is crispy and crunch with a nice buttery burst of flavor. The cheese was falling off as I bit the pizza. Perfection

Garlic parmesan wings
Maheen K.

We tried this place out and were not disappointed in all three items. Everything had a different taste to it than what we normally are used to. Came out pipping hot and customer service was spectacular. Garlic parmesan wings: one pound to share amongst the three of us. The flavor was awesome. I could eat this all day every day. You could actually taste the flavors. Fettuccine Alfredo pasta: again the freshness and quality was great. I could taste the garlic in this dish as well and it was great. I actually warmed up next day and ate as well to find the taste stayed. Sometimes you lose the ump, but this kept it. Taco pizza: I think this could use a little bit more meat on top, but the flavor profile was amazing. We used the jalepeno ranch with this and the pizza and sauce were all amazing. We will be back to try other items on the menu as we were highly satisfied with all three dishes. One star dock for more meat on pizza, but flavors were on point.

Mediterranean Salad- fresh ingredients
Bertha V.

My friend and I came and tried this place today. We got here right when they opened at 12pm . The owner and chef very nice and welcoming. She asked if it was our first time there and named some of the popular pizzas and went over some of the menu items. We shared the 7 cheese pizza and a Mediterranean salad. The salad came out first and it was very fresh and it was very good, with some bell peppers, olives, feta cheese. Then came our pizza and we were not disappointed! It was delicious! The crust is light and fluffy and not greasy at all. We got a small size , which is 4 pieces so it was perfect for two people. The pizza reminded me of Pizza Hut but better. The crust had crispy edges and the right amount of sauce. Someone ordered the wings while we were there and they smelled so good!The place has about 5 tables with benches. It was nice and clean. I would definitely be back and try some of their other menu items.

I'm gonna tell you right now. This is a delicious pizza well worth waiting for I drove by and…read morenoticed 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.

Before Uptown Pizza Co. existed, this was the location of much loved but much misunderstood…read moreLamppost 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.

I've been to Napoli. I've had authentic Italian pizza. And I've never I mean never tasted a pizza…read morethat came close until I had this one. The sauce, the cheese, the wood fire cooking, the crust! Everything was phenomenal. This spot is so easy to miss. Inside the old bank in uptown Whittier. But make sure that as soon as you walk through the doors you go straight until you run into it! We were lucky enough to have met Heather ( the owner ) and she was beyond friendly. Her staff were with smiles and happy to answer my questions about the menu. Truthfully, this pizza hits the tone for anyone who truly has had pizza from Napoli. Some may feel different due to there being so many choices of pizza and I've had great pizza. But if you are looking for authentic, true to taste from Italy. This is the place! Will absolutely go back as soon as we can!

I ordered a pizza around 9:30pm on a Saturday night. The restaurant's website clearly state they…read moreclose at 10:30pm, so I figured I had plenty of time. I ordered 1 pizza and when I ordered they told me they'd bring the pizza out to me when it was ready. I waited patiently for 40 minutes. At around 10:10pm I went to the counter to check on it, only to find they had already put up a "Closed" sign and the staff was clearly shutting down for the night. They hadn't even started making my pizza. No one bothered to tell me, cancel the order, or offer any explanation. I was just left sitting there for nearly an hour with nothing. Extremely poor communication and customer service. If you're closing soon and can't fulfill orders, don't accept them -- especially not 60 minutes before closing. Total waste of my time. I won't be returning.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
