I really enjoyed the pizza and especially the crust. The only downside for me was that the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste. Other than that, it wasn't bad and I enjoyed it overall. (I forgot to take a picture ‍) read more

Finally got to try a good, take out, authentic Italian pizzeria in the neighborhood! We had no idea it was so good! Loved it it will be our new go to pizza placeThanks Ambrose for the delicious pizza read more

Outstanding pizza and lasagna. The ownership came to our table and met with us. Very down home feel and will visit again. They have been in La Mirada for over 35 years so it's telling you they are very consistent. read more

Every time I'd finish sweating it out at the gym next door, that giant red "Ambrose Pizza" sign would taunt me as I trudged to my car. Pizza?! who doesn't crave that cheesy perfection after a workout? The temptation built like a slow burn, until one evening.... I caved! I ordered a large margherita pizza and buffalo wings, picturing the surprise on my wife's face, the kid's excitement, and yeah, satisfying my own growling stomach. The drive home was torture... the aroma teased me from the passenger seat, promising glory.. We gathered around the box like kids at Christmas, ripping into slices with greedy abandon. But ten seconds in, bites half-chewed, we locked eyes--eyebrows arched in shared horror. Flavorless... Utterly bland dough.. toppings that tasted like regrets. The wings saved the 1 star review, packing heat and tang, and the ranch being the savior. Being with my wife who makes sourdough bread, mistakes happen and sometimes salt is forgotten, maybe one day I will try again and the pizza will have flavor, maybe one day.. 2/5 stars: very disappointed. read more

Absolutely the best pizza in this area. Staff very friendly and helpful. Also, I enjoy ordering online through DoorDash or Postmates. I highly recommend this place. read more

Poor customer service. We placed our order over the phone, and when we arrived to pick it up, we were told our order was not ready. We waited for 30 minutes before finally approaching the staff to ask about our food. There was another customer who came in after us and was helped before we were, while our pizza had actually been sitting at the counter for over 10 minutes. We had already approached the staff twice to check on our order, yet no one bothered to check where it was. When we finally asked again, we found out that our pizza had been sitting there the entire time. It's honestly crazy how no one seemed to care or pay attention. We waited 30 minutes unnecessarily for food that had already been ready. Very disappointing experience and definitely not the kind of customer service you expect. read more

Don't come here often but when we do .... Boy it's so so good! Got the lunch special, large slice, salad and drink. Fills me up. Didn't have too much time but our food was up and ready pretty quick so we ended up having a good time and not having to rush. read more

We called in our order on a Saturday. We ordered two large pizzas, one cheese and one Ambrose Combo. Total was $53. Food was ready on time and was hot and fresh. Service was not the friendliest. A bit overpriced IMO. read more

This is not pizza.. If you want bread with cheese, this is the place for you. I got a slice of pizza and it's not from a whole pizza pie. It's premade, hard bread that's overcooked with pizza toppings. It taste OK, but it's not your traditional pizza. Perhaps the full pizzas are real pizzas with chewy dough based on the images though! I also called ahead and this "slice" took 25 minutes to make. Also, the AC runs weak so don't plan to eat here in the summer. Pros: Convenient location next to the grocery store and gym though! I'd rather go to Domino's across the street. read more

The staff is very kinda and I love the pizza been coming here for years . Not one complaint!

Kaboom. That was my mouth after the xtra hot buffalo wings for the first time. Oh my oh my that flavor. The spice, the wings, the chicken! They all combine to make la Miradas best food. I love it and I don't care who knows. read more

Been going here for the past year and it's never disappointed! Tried other places like Gondolas and Pizza Hut but was very disappointed as it couldn't compare against ambrose's delicious pizzas. Their servers are polite and they are attentive. They speak spanish too so its very accessible. Recommended to my best friend and she bought it and loved it too! Great place and would always recommend! Their pizza is peak! read more

Ben, an amazing employee, helped my family get my food in no time. He went out of his way to advocate when my food was taking longer and helped my family get the best food experience of my life. Hope he never leaves! Highly recommend this place! Gondolas doesn't even compare to this place and the new chicken sandwich #FIRE! Best place in LA MIRIDA DONE. (Mic drop) read more

Fire and consistent! Been coming here since I was 10 and I still come here! The slices of pizza are the best, the wings bomb. The fries tossed in buffalo amazing. Their dressings are good. Cashiers and the service is always 10/10 love the chefs back there! Lots of tv's they are always showing the games! Cold beer and mugs! Que mas quieren? read more

We stopped by for lunch during the week recently and found Ambrose Pizza to be very welcoming. It was also very busy! The ambiance is right up my alley too reminiscent of how Shakey's Pizza used to look in the 80's. To save time we were encouraged to order online right from our seats in the restaurant. I ordered a turkey sandwich and drink and it was ready quickly. The turkey was fresh and the bread was fresh as well. Reasonable prices too. I'll be back for pizza soon! Plenty of parking outside. Enjoy your visit! read more

Worst local pizza spot i've "tried"... Came in with some buddies to give them a try despite the rating. But i guess you should listen to it, cause the service was not it. Waited for our pizza for 1hr as we watched other parties that came after us get their orders! Isn't that crazy lol. We waited and waited... went up to the counter and asked what was going on. The only thing we got was that they "forgot" as they got busy... and yet they still were able to serve others after us? They really need to step up their customer service and staff duties. It's pizza...it cannot be that hard to remember 1 pizza that is on the menu Won't be coming back and not ever recommending this place to ANYONE read more

There was once a location in uptown Whittier I believe. Anyway, their pizza is amazing. I would get it again. Next time I was in the area. Everyone was very pleasant and the employees were very friendly. It was a nice atmosphere and very comfortable to dine in and I definitely would be back. read more

Came out of Crunch, famished. Pizza by the slice! Good value, not bad, not great, good and it was piping hot! Beer, big tv's, long tables for the whole team to catch a game. Service was prompt and polite. Overall 3.75, positive experience read more

A classic. Been coming here since I was a kid. Sometimes it can take a minute for your food to come out but that's because it's made with lots of love lol, I recently started ordering pastrami pizza with pickles and pineapple...controversial, I know but don't knock it until you try it. You can expect big portion sizes by the slice. A small/medium slice is not your average slice of pizza, it's a big pizza and they will cut it into multiple slices in the shape of a square for you. The dough is more on the thicker side, nothing like a NY style pizza. They always have sports games on so it's a perfect place to come and watch a game. read more

I've been going to Ambrose for many years now. Food is always fresh and great tasting , prices are reasonable and overall great place to fulfill your cravings of pizza or pasta ! Hands down the best place I've been too. read more

Not sure if Ambrose is under new ownership or the original cooks are gone, but this pizza is absolutely terrible. The dough is flavorless, it used to be thick but with a nice crunch on the bottom, that's all gone. The veggie pizza used to be one of my favorites, fresh vegetables (onion, olives, bell peppers, tomatoes) on top of the gooey melted cheese. Now it's a mess and doesn't even look appetizing. I miss the old Ambrose pizza, if this is the pizza they're going to be making going forward, it's time to find a new pizza spot. read more

Ambrose Pizzeria - Veggie pizza - Pizza Near Me - La Mirada, California

Whole heartedly a love and bias for Ambrose. Take that in consideration for why I gave my experience a 5 start. Because I love their food, their location. We Wifey and I can here for lunch. I wanted a sandwich and was thinking of those other joints. She suggested Ambrose and boy was she right. We both had the Italian Club. Ok you may argue too much lettuce, not enough meat. I say opposite. Love the thing sliced lettuce. The meats in the sandwich are plentiful and tasty. But the star and it has been for decades is the bread. The right composition of softness in the crust , firm middle and wonderful taste. The bread recipe is regional treasure. The staff has changed in 20 plus years but service still makes this feel like a local hangout. Keep going Ambrose I will keep being a loyal fan. read more

When you walk in you feel like you're in old school pizzeria. The staff is on the ball and attentive. I met the proprietor of this place Alonzo. He was totally involved with his pizza making operation. Never had pastrami pizza. Everyone should try it; pizza was great. We will be back. read more

Ambrose...What happened? I'm an OG customer from the 80's when you were uptown Whittier. Been a long time customer of this new location. We visited in February. The pizza crust was chewy and no flavor. So flavorless no one finished their pizza. Goodbye to a pizza legend. read more

Love the sausage lasagna!! Prices are fantastic..!! Casual dining at its best.. Plenty of close parking read more

Placed a DoorDash order. I ordered three items and only two arrived. This is the 2nd time this has happened. The first time, their only solution was for me to go pick it up. This time, their solution was to request a refund and order it again at my cost. I wasn't about to pay fees and a tip again. How do you add salad dressings and a fork to the bag and no salad? read more

A great pizza spot to chill and watch the ball game , the wings are amazing and the beer is cold .

Pulled out a big piece of plastic that looked like it was apart of the pizza dough. I called location and spoke to their manager Alonso who was no help. He asked for pictures through his personal cell and I sent him these pictures, and he claimed that they don't use this plastic in their kitchen pretty much calling me a liar saying it looks "fraudulent". Overall, very very disappointed and upset with this whole business. read more

It's been a good 10 years since I've been back. A lot of the menu still hasn't changed , which is great. The salads are one of my favorites. The pizza is a home run reminds when I was a teenager. The one thing that changed was the receipt it didn't say,"Served by Alonzo"! read more

The service. It was busy, but we were there BEFORE the crowd. I had waited 45 minutes for my food and I only got it AFTER I had to ask for it. There were no apologies- and their explanation was that "the ravioli is frozen so it's taking a long time". 45 minutes for food is insane, especially with no notice. My parents had finished their food before I even got mine. It is ridiculous. read more

Sooo good I have been coming here for years . I normally get the pastrami pizza with extra ranch . Make sure if you get this pizza ask for the one that has pickles because they also do go in with just a pastrami by itself. I order typically just place an order and it's ready within 20 to 25 minutes. Did you have a lot of space if you wanna eat there and different types of pizza and I really get by the slice just because I'm the only one that likes pastrami but they have small medium large slice and they're pretty generous with their slices. They can get pretty busy on the weekends or during a game . read more

I used to go to the location in Whittier in the 1970's so it was great to find another location in La Mirada. Pizza was pretty good. I brought it to a friend in a rehab place near there. She enjoyed it as well. I will say when I picked up the pizza that the gentleman running the cash register was not as pleasant as he could have been. I guess he's used to regular customers who know the drill. read more

Pizza, Fettuccine Alfredo and the salad are always good even the Ranch Dressing is delicious! Workers are friendly and polite every time I have dealt with them in person and over the phone. read more

I used to go to the original Ambrose Pizza in my youth. Went to this location, which was nice. Big screen TV's all around to see the football game. It was packed when I got there. The food was good. Not as delicious as I remembered it. We had the Combo, the Picante, the Canadian bacon and pineapple, and a cheese pizza. The Combo was the best of the four, we also ordered two anti pasta salads, chicken wings and calamari. The wings were tough and the calamari was burnt. The lady at the register was sick. Although she was wearing gloves, she kept coughing into her sweatshirt . If you're sick, stay home! There were 5 adults and one child in our party. There was plenty of left over food. We would have been good with two XXL pizzas. I would definitely return for the Combo Pizza. read more

When I was young we use to always go to the Ambrose pizza in uptown Whittier their pizza is so unique the crust is a combo of crusty outside and soft fluffy inside and I love their cheese is more mozzarella. When I went to this location it was like Deja Vu the pizza was exactly the same as I remembered and every time I go it's consistently the same. The large slice is huge and major value for the price! read more

We love this place, great food big portion and tons of fun. We will always come back
