    ** 5-Star Yelp Review for Bambino's Pizza (Carson, CA) ** Hands Down the BEST NY-Style Pizza in Carson!" Most importantly, delivery! That's not by door dash or uber eats w crazy charges! Bambino's Pizza is an absolute **hidden gem** for authentic New York-style pies right here in Carson. As a self-proclaimed pizza snob (IYKYK), I can confidently say this spot rivals slices you'd find in Brooklyn--crispy yet foldable crust, tangy sauce, and **perfectly melted cheese** that hits every nostalgic note. ** Must-Order:** - **"The Classic" Pepperoni Pizza** - Greasy in the *best* way, with crispy-edged pepperoni cups and a garlic-kissed crust. - **Garlic Knots** - Pillowy, buttery, and drowning in garlic-Parm goodness. Dip them in their house marinara (next-level!). - **Wings (Lemon Pepper or Spicy BBQ)** - Juicy, crispy, and sauced to perfection. The owner clearly cares about quality--dough made fresh daily, whole-milk mozzarella, and no skimping on toppings. Prices are fair, slices are **huge**, and the vibe is no-frills, just how a proper pizzeria should be. **Pro Tips:** Call ahead for pickup--it gets busy! Ask for "well-done" if you love extra crunch. Their **meatball sub** is a sleeper hit (homemade balls, trust me). **Rating:** (5/5) - **"I'd walk 10 miles for these slices."**

    2-topping Large Pizza ($22) - Apr 2025

    I love Bambino's. It was always a special occasion take out option for my family growing up because although the prices are a little higher ($22 for 2-topping large) than your typical pizza chain, the freshness is unmatched. They often have deals on Uber Eats. For the pizza--You don't need more than a couple toppings. The goodness is in the light, juicy sauce and the thick layer of mozz. My other recommendations (after years of ordering) are -Philly Cheese Steak (mayo, tomato, bell pepper, mushrooms, pickles, cheese, thinly sliced brisket). This is literally life changing. Must get as is -Antipasto salad. This is your classic salad, but their cold cuts are very fresh -Chicken Nuggets. They are like $9 for 12pcs lol. So expensive but I stand by these nugs.

    Best pizza I've ever had! Owner & Staffs are very friendly. As always pizza is soooo good! My daughter always ask for their cheese pizza.

    Best decision today! Authentic Italian with hard to beat prices. Flavorful without that greasy feeling and each pizza was oozing with cheese and brimming with natural ingredients. Love how each slice you grab has more toppings and cheese than bread. Who needs Pizza Hut and Domino's when you can support local finds like Bambino's? Ordered spaghetti too and it was divine! Packed a true Italian punch with every bite!

    Pretty good place! I hate they don't deliver to my place even though I'm 5 miles away. They have some interesting toppings and specialty pizzas. My sister ordered. I trusted her judgement but she went a little adventurous that day. She ordered some sun dried tomato white pizza, chili cheese fries, & spaghetti. Way too much food but we were in a mood. Anyway...I was not a fan of the pizza but I tasted the potential. There was no sauce. Just dollops of pesto and a lot of mozzarella. If we had gotten a normal sausage and ham with marinara type of pizza this review may be a little different. The chili cheese fries were not very good but it's what I expected from a pizza place...pre frozen fries under canned chili. The spaghetti was definitely lacking herbs and spices and for some reason there was 3 cups of noodles under 1 cup of sauce. Layer it guys layer it. Despite the aforementioned I wouldn't mind trying this place again but I won't let my sister order.

    The pizza was good it has a very simple classic taste. But still very flavorful. The prices are fair. I definitely recommend and will return. I don't know of they still sell by the slice, however freshly done is better. They give cheese and peppers on the side. See my pictures.

    It's been a lonnnnnng time again since I've done a Yelp review because of ... well.... life, adulting, etc. once again. But hey... enough of that for now. Ahhhh Bambino's Pizza! This place has been here since the freakin' late 80's!!!! They survived the L.A. Riots, 4 BUSH terms, and a Mayor Fajardo extortion era! So it's safe to say that this pizza place has been through and seen enough of Carson's history to stay in business through all these years. The Place: It's small and not the best looking, but it's oldschool and still has that late 80's feel... but I miss the arcades! The Food: For a pizza place that is literally competing against a Little Caesar's that is across the street....; Bambino's Pizza has more of a gourmet taste along with a more diverse "portfolio" of entrees on their menu from calzones, to thei Philly cheesesteak and what they call a "Mussolini Grinder". Their tomato sauce is pretty damn good in general. The Service: GREAT, HOMELY, straight up... oldschool late 80's Carson hospitality. I love it! All of the workers are so nice to you and it makes up for how it looks inside and how small the place is because you cannot put a price or high rating in things like that. The Verdict: It's a great place if you're thinking "damn, I want a great $1.50 a slice pizza or bad-ass gourmet sandwich real quick!!!!". While people will bitch and super knitpick at a place like this.... I must give this place a 5 star rating because it's always had a ton of heart in its food, delivery and customer service! They get down to business and it reflects on those qualities. Bambino's, FTW!

    One of the best strawberry croissant that I've ever had I…read morereally enjoyed every single bits Thanks Cream pan bakery

    I was in Lomita and was looking for a place to grab coffee and pastries. While browsing Yelp, I was…read moresurprised to find out there was a Cream Pan nearby. I've always wanted to try their Orange County location but just never got around to it, so I was excited to finally give them a try. I walked in expecting it to be self-serve like 85 Degrees Bakery, but it's actually set up more like a donut shop or Porto's, where most of the pastries are displayed in a case and you tell the staff what you'd like. They do have a refrigerated self-serve section with sandwiches and onigiri, as well as a table with loaves of bread and buns. The ordering process caught me off guard because I usually like taking my time looking through all the pastries at bakeries. Since everything was behind the counter, I felt a little rushed with people waiting behind me. They have so many options that it can be a bit overwhelming. I also had to stop myself from ordering too much since I'm trying to cut back on carbs. Here's what I ordered: Hot Dog Bun - 4/5: Tasty with a soft, fluffy bun. I just wish it had a little more of that cheesy crust on top. Ham and Cheese Croissant - 3/5: My boyfriend ordered this and thought it was just okay. It was a little small for the price. Strawberry Cream Croissant - 5/5: They're known for this, and now I understand why. The pastry was light and flaky, the strawberries were sweet, and the custard was rich without being overly sweet. Spam Roll Onigiri - 4/5: I loved the egg, and it was really flavorful. It was served a bit cold, though. I think it would taste even better if it were kept under a heat lamp. Raisin Bun - 5/5: So soft and fluffy, with just the right amount of raisins. It was also a great value--six buns for only $4.20. Hot Vanilla Latte - 4/5: Strong with just a light sweetness. It was really good, but I think it could have been a little creamier. The prices were reasonable. I spent about $26 for everything, which I thought was a great deal. Customer service was excellent. Even though there was a line behind me, the staff never made me feel rushed while I decided what I wanted. The barista was especially friendly and even checked in afterward to ask if I liked my latte. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely come again.
