    Tikka Masala Pizza
    Tuss R.

    Yum! Great flavor but what really surprised me was how yummy the crust was! I normally don't like crust and don't eat it but this crust was so perfectly crisp and light. Combined with the great toppings and sauce? So great. Server was really nice and gave us complimentary drinks b/c it was our first time. There's some chill outdoor seating w/ those old school circle benches like from school. Need to come back immediately to try the other pizzas!

    Small little nook. Pizza was good. There is seating inside and some tables outside. It's very warm inside the dining area due to the viewable oven pit oven. Cashier said the pit is made from volcano ashes from Italy . There is no restroom available or kids high chairs. You cannot custom a pie but first time customers you get a free drink.

    This place is definitely a mom and pop hidden gem in Sunland, CA. It's tucked away in a small plaza with its own self-parking parking lot. I must say that it's one of the best pizzerias that I have been to in such a long time. Definitely not your traditional pizzas, but more with true whole flavors. Its specialized gourmet pizzas and being cooked in a wood burning oven even better. There is seating inside as well as outside. They are also located across the street to the public park. I was invited here by one of my friends. She's gluten free and I have been wanting to try it for some time. She invited me to meet up here. I must say it's definitely a location to try and keep saved. Trying out the Gluten Free pizza was amazing. The pizza was so full of flavor that the dough itself I couldn't even taste the difference to regular pizza. Oscar helped us out. He was great at explaining everything that goes on the pizza. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure that we were fully satisfied with our choices of pizzas. The vibe is cozy, casual, and they are very welcoming - especially if it's your first time there. Being my first time here, Oscar made me feel as if I hadn't been here in a while and gave me a feeling like I was missed. They use ingredients that are imported from Italy. They have several culinary awards and recognitions from ABC 7, Food Network, International Pizza Championship - Parma Italy to name a few and others. I tried That's A'More (Classic Pistachio Pesto - Bianca) Pistachio pesto, buttery creamy cheese, fontina, fresh mozzarella, napoli sea salt, extra virgin olive oil, seasoned with oregano, thyme, and rosemary. I added garlic chicken. My friend ordered the Gluten Free All Fired Up! Smokey beef spicy pizza house made with BBQ sauce, hand crushed san marzano tomatoes, sweet peppers, onions, mozzarella, olive oil, and himalayan salt. Next time, I'll have to try the Tuscany and Bombay Tikka Masala. To my surprise, they are very flexible/accommodating for Vegan/Gluten Free crust options. They also have standard Halal meats. Overall, I can't wait to come back. This place is worth every cent!

    Chicken Tikka masala pizza
    Sean O.

    This pizza place has been on my go-to list for a while now, and it absolutely delivers on the hype. What makes 786 Degrees so special is their creative approach to pizza. They're treating each pie like a passport stamp, incorporating international influences that make every bite feel like a mini culinary adventure. We'd be remiss not to mention the Chicken Tikka Masala pizza. The sauce was incredibly flavorful, and the chicken was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char on the crust. The dough had great texture, though I personally would've loved a bit more depth of flavor from fermentation. But honestly, that's nitpicking. It's a small detail in an otherwise stellar experience. The staff really elevated our visit. When they found out we were first timers, they offered us a free beverage and one of the women physically walked us through the menu, explaining each option before we settled on our order. That kind of hospitality goes a long way. We also tried the PEPPERONI BumbleBEE STING. Soppressata-inspired spicy beef pepperoni with Calabrian sliced peppers and sesame. It's billed as a combination of sweet and spice umami flavors, and while it delivered on that front, I would have appreciated more pronounced honey sweetness and a spicier kick to really make it sing. All in all, 786 Degrees is a must-try. Any pizza fan in Los Angeles should have this spot on their radar. The creativity, quality, and welcoming atmosphere make it worth the visit.

    Istanbul Pizza
    Ben K.

    Wow... my experience here was phenomenal! The different pizza options were diverse! There were a lot of pizzas I would've never thought of. When I first walked in I was greeted very kindly and once they heard it was my first time visiting, they gave me a run down on some of the more interesting pizzas from their menu. It was very hard to not go with one of several we talked about, but I ended up ordering the Istanbul pizza. My pizza was phenomenal, the Haideri sauce was delicious! Every bit of the pizza was a little bite of perfection, the crust, the sauce, the toppings all seemed to be placed with great intention. While I waited for my pizza to be made, and even after, I learned that the pizza wasn't the best part (and it was amazing)... it was the passion that Carlos (and 786) has for not only making a really good pizza and knowing their customers, but for striving to find new and original ways to bring worldwide tastes and experiences onto a pizza! Carlos and crew, keep doing what you're doing!

    I really wanted to love this place after seeing so many positive reviews on Yelp, but honestly, there is better pizza out there. That said, there are some positives. The staff was fairly friendly, it was not overly busy when I visited, and the creative pizza combinations offer a fun twist on more traditional options. The ambiance was just okay. There is not much seating, and the space feels more like a working kitchen than a place designed to sit and enjoy a meal. It is fine for a quick stop, but not somewhere I would want to linger. My main issue comes down to the dough. For a spot that focuses solely on pizza, the dough really needs to shine, and unfortunately it did not. While it had a decent chew, the flavor was flat and slightly off, with an aftertaste that was not very pleasant. The charred spots were not crisped well either and tasted more burnt than intentionally charred, with the same soft texture as the rest of the crust. Out of the three pizzas we tried, the Habibi pizza was my favorite. The garlic yogurt sauce was genuinely delicious, but the lamb and beef fell short. The texture was mushy and the flavor did not come through as much as I was hoping. One other downside is the value. The pizzas were over twenty dollars and not very filling, which made the experience feel even more underwhelming given the other issues

    Bulgogi pizza
    Monica M.

    On this day we ordered the Bulgogi pizza which was disappointing. Pizza was salty, limited bulgogi and the corn was unnecessary and didn't add any flavor to it. The crust is super thin which isn't a big deal but preferably a thicker dough would hold the topping better. Thw issue is the consistency of the dough is always different, its a gamble you may get a nicely baked pizza or you may get an over cooked or even worse burnt crust. The pizza is so small & pricey for the size (anywhere from $19-$26) and not knowing if your pizza will come out nicely baked or overly cooked/burnt isn't a gamble I want to take. Weeks back we had the the "Bombay tikka" that one had better flavors, although the crust was overly cooked/burnt. The service has been good the 3x we've been here, the workers are always friendly and ready to help with any question, the spot is small and the decor felt like we were back in Italy, but the uncertainty of how cooked/burnt the pizza will be isn't a gamble I'm willing to take again, I like consistency. In San Fernando (on San Fernando Road) there are 2 Mom & Pop pizza shops that have more flavorful pizzas, bigger proportions and always consistent with the crust.

    We got the Bombay Tikka Masala pizza and the La Americana pizza. Both were delicious. They were freshly made in like 5 - 6 minutes and came out perfect. The chef was very friendly.

    This pizza place is really unique because they have pizzas inspired by different cultures and somehow they capture the essence of each one. It is a small spot but there are plenty of options to choose from. The prices are great, the customer service is friendly, and the pizza itself is honestly delicious. It might look like a little hole in the wall from the outside but it is definitely worth checking out. If you have never been here before you should try it at least once because it is such a fun and tasty experience.

    Istanbul
    Stephanie B.

    Sooo many unique options! Even if you don't like pizza, you should check this place out because some of their options literally taste nothing like pizza & it's great. I personally don't like marinara sauce so I tried their Instanbul pizza & it was amazing & reminded me of humus & pita bread. My husband got the Marguerite pizza which is good if you like cheese & marinara sauce Would definitely come back & try some of their other options like the bulgogi, habibi & fungi lama Not too much space to dine in but they also have outdoor seating and the park is literally right across the street so you can easily set up a cute picnic Also service was amazing! Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful

The pizzas were easy to share, though a bit salty. The pepperoni pizza also had a few overly burnt slices on the bottom. Service was a little confusing. We ordered at the register, had to flag someone down for water, and weren't quite sure if it was self-service or not.

Nice name, but when I see menus of any cuisine that go out of their way to offer vegan and gluten free versions of everything, it tends to put me off. I know that's an unfair prejudice, but I always assume it's more of a healthy food place for people who complain about regular food than a real tasty joint. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. Now that I've tried their fantastic pizza, my only sadness is that they are located in DTLA, where finding parking even to run in and pick up things to go is always difficult. So, we were here at first not for the food but because my teen son's death metal band, Institutionalized, was playing a show with the very popular super cool local metal band Diabology. But, hey, if you're there might as well grab something before you leave, right? So We got a cheese pie, which was excellent. Also tried a slice of their white pie, which was garlicky goodness. What really sold us, though, was the Sicilian pie we got. As born and bred New Yorker transplants who have been here a long time, we have never found a fantastic Sicilian. Good, sure, but never great. The pies are never thick enough as far as the breading. Here it was as close as we've ever got. And like the other pizza, the taste was excellent. And, as native New Yorkers, we know our pizza! Strongly recommended! Can't wait to get another Sicilian pie in the near future with some toppings.

I finally went back and tried one of their vegan pastas I hadn't tried before, and there was meat in it (pancetta). I literally am feeling sick to my stomach--I'm pescatarian + non-dairy and stopped eating meat in 2013 so I'm sure you can imagine. The customer service was amazing and the cashier who helped me, Melissa, was so apologetic and sweet (obviously wasn't her fault), but this is just another warning to anyone who is vegan and considers coming here. I also came when they were about to close and already had to wait like 15min longer than they said so there's not even anything else open this late for me to find other food. Very disappointing and I will not be coming back for good this time. If I could give separate stars for customer service, I would give them 5 stars but this was unacceptable on the cook's part. Do not risk it if you are vegan.
