    Guess I am on a pizza binge. Decided to order 1/2 Bambino 1/2 All Meats for carry out. All meats half is extremely tasty and really hit the spot. The Bambino Half was just alright. The crust was decent and I enjoyed the Pizza!

    paid 1.95 each for mushrooms, olive, red onions, garlic and basil. I see a few, the mushrooms I had to literally search for, just a few slices! Many slices no mushrooms. I don't taste the garlic. Bottom line is they really cheat on toppings. Proof is on the photos. And crust is meh.

    Cafe Bambino's has been my go-to comfort-pizza spot in the area for several years now. The quality of their ingredients, flavor profiles, and reasonable prices are simply unbeatable. I've always done pick up orders, but I finally had the pleasure of dining in. The eating area is small, but comfortable and clean. And, the service was great as always.

    AMAZING PIZZA AT A GREAT PRICE! super quick and staff was super kind. Definitely will be ordering in the future and got a customer!

    Bambino's Special Pizza - personal
    Steve W.

    First time here. Dropped off my car across the street and was waiting for my ride to arrive so I stopped in to grab a quick bite. The guy working (I think the owner) was super friendly and helpful. I told him, I've only got 10 minutes - think that'll be enough time to crank out a personal? "I got you" and my guy came through. I think he could tell I was stressing on time so he kept reassuring me he'd have the pizza done and that it'd be perfect and sure enough the pizza came out right on time and it was bomb. Crispy crust, loaded with sauce and toppings, it was exactly what I was hoping for. Would definitely come back and get another. Probably the bbq chicken next time since that's apparently the fav. 5/5 - shoutout to whoever it was that helped me out and sorry I had to dash without a proper thank you. You are appreciated.

    Pepperoni, Mushroom & Green Pepper Pizza

    Absolutely delicious. The owner was very sweet and very attentive. It was fast and easy to order. There are a wide variety of selections to make and it took no longer than 15 minutes from my pizza to come together and get baked. I'm definitely coming back.

    Veggie pizza with jalapeños

    I found my new local pizza spot in Pasadena! The pizza tastes delicious, with great sauce flavor, dough texture, and quantity of toppings. The service is excellent. Placing orders over the phone for pick up is easy and the team members taking your order are always friendly and courteous. This place is very small and not meant to dine in. I usually order pizzas for pick up.

    A classic and tasty pizza with a wide array of flavors and options. Really happy to find this place because they nail the crust so well. So many places have soggy or doughy crust that makes it hard to love the rest of the pizza. It had a chewy and salty taste that suited the cheese and pepperoni so well. Looking forward to trying different pies because the diversity of choices is really spectacular especially for a small takeout type spot.

    This was my first time trying Bambino's and was pleasantly surprised by the prices. I feel like it's rare to see an over 3 topping pizza under $20 nowadays. However, Bambino's has a wide selection of pizzas to choose from and customize for very fair prices. I got the Bambino's Special (medium) and Buffalo Chicken (personal size). The food took about 20-25 minutes to pick up and the cashier wasn't the friendliest, but the pizzas were fresh and hot. While it's not the best pizza ever, you can't beat the price. Definitely a level up from a chain restaurant and I would recommend if you're craving pizza.

    Garlic Chicken Pizza I think.
    Cindy S.

    The pizza here is ok. Good ingredients and cheese. Love the cheese pull. The pizza crust is thin and dry . Not soggy when heavily toppings with ingredients. The "edge or rim of the pizza" crust was airy and crispy- very good. The sauce was a bit too tangy with notes of dried basil not my favorite;however, not bad. The people that work here are so nice and they keep their pizza prices fair. I see why people love Bambino's.

    I was told it does not include drink or salad
    Paul C.

    I just ordered tonight the party of 4-6 meal which includes any 1 XL pizza, 12 pieces of wings, 2 Caesar salads and a 2-L drink. After I paid and given my order. I asked what about the drink and the lady who took my payment told me there isn't any drink. I was a bit surprised and I thought perhaps the menu had changed from what was posted on Yelp. Before I left,I asked for a menu so I can have it when I order next time. While we were eating, I was looking at the menu and saw that my order should have included a 2-L drink. And what was missing were the salads. The stupid part was the lady gave me salad dressings. This is very disappointing. I even tipped them as well. I regret it.

Friendly and efficient service from start to finish. Very chill vibes, set up more for take out. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much but their Detroit style pizzas? Legit. This place ate and left no crumbs! The pizza sauce & toppings were the perfect kind of marriage - tangy & flavorful, cheesy & crusty at the same time. We got vegetarian pizzas(spicy Italian with mushrooms replacing sausage and the Greek!) Perfect crusty edges, while the middle is dense yet soft! Yum. Lots of locals coming in to pick up orders as we sat inside and ate. Towards the end of our meal it sounded as if they were running low on pizzas left for the day, so maybe get there earlier in the day if you want to have all their options available.

I read a lot of the reviews saying the Biggio was where it's at, so I had to try that one. We also did the half and half deal and got the BBQ chicken with it. Amongst the two, the BBQ chicken was overall tastier. The Biggio, although I love meat lover pizza, was a bit too salty for me. The saltiness felt like they could've prepped the meats a bit more but I did feel the heaviness that came with it. The BBQ chicken was a good balance of savory and sweet. I wish the pricing was better and that the pizza was less salty. Overall it's pretty good, but for value I'm going to try and find another deep dish joint.

I've had a lot of pizza from New York City, to Italy, to many destinations in between and this crust is up there as some of the best especially to be based in California. That being said, I've had better pizza. The sauce really left something to be desired. It was underwhelming and a bit bland. The wow factor was definitely missing and sauce tends to really make or break a good slice of pizza. Same goes for the cheese used...It just lacked that yummy cheesy goodness you usually anticipate when you bite into a slice and it didn't help that they were a little skimpy with how much cheese they put on their pizza. I think this place would be phenomenal if they took the time to nail the sauce down and really invested in good quality cheese. They're so close just missing the mark on the flavor. The crust absolutely saves them from being bad but it still made it just an "okay" slice of pizza. The staff at the order window were friendly and helpful. The environment could use a little cleaning but overall it seems like it reflected the hipster/ quick eats vibe they're going for and it works for their business. Try this spot out and judge for yourself.

I honestly don't know if I came in on the wrong day, but it was some of the worst customer service I've experienced. It's a pizza place. The girl who took our order was incredibly rude and had such an attitude toward me and my friend. It was my first time there, and she was the type of person who made you feel dumb for asking questions. My friend asked if they had garlic sauce, and instead of simply answering, she responded with, "We never had that," and listed ranch and the other sauces with an attitude. Then she said something under her breath that I couldn't hear clearly. I thought she said there was a 3-hour wait, so we asked for clarification. She responded with even more attitude. At that point, I honestly wasn't even interested in the pizza anymore. The owner was standing at the end of the counter. The place is very small, so either he didn't hear how she was treating customers, or he allows it. This is a business. Getting an attitude with someone who's simply trying to order a pizza is crazy. Even when our food was ready, the employee just set the plates down like she was annoyed we were there. The pizza was good, but the customer service was so bad that I wouldn't come back.

When you enter The establishment you are immediately aware of the great aromas coming from the kitchen. After walking through some tables and chairs, I was greeted at the counter by a friendly hello and 'how can I help you?' I asked a number of questions concerning the menu. I knew there was pizza but I wanted to know more about their sandwiches and salads. I found out that they do have daily / weekly specials that are a great value. I decided to order a special small Italian sausage pizza and an order of six nude chicken wings with ranch dip on the side. I sat down and waited for the order to be completed. There were a few people at some tables finishing up their lunch. While I was there the phone was constantly ringing with takeout orders. The walls had simple decorations that created a nice ambiance. When my order was called, I was given instructions on how to carry the bag as to not disturb the toppings and cheese on the pizza. As I walked, the smell of the fresh pizza and wings was enticing. The wings were just as I ordered. I enjoyed that they have not been overcooked. The wings were tender and moist. The ranch dressing dipping sauce was a great choice. I look forward to trying some of their other homemade sauces. The Italian Sausage Pizza was cooked just the way I like it. The crust had a nice crisp bottom and great flavor. The toppings of olive and onion were a perfect combination with the Italian sausage. I was happy that I ordered the small size rather than the mini so that I could enjoy some cold pizza the next day. Great flavor even on day two. On another trip I ordered the Italian Grinder Sandwich and a large Antipasto Salad. The salad was full of flavor and fresh vegetables and meats. The sandwich was huge. More ingredients than I expected with a great Italian flavor, the bread was incredible as well. I tried the sandwich both cold and hot and both ways the flavor was the star of this sandwich. I look forward to coming back and enjoying some of the other items on their menu. Fresh pastas are next on my list of things to try. I anticipate that whatever I order will be exceptional!

My daughter had the Shrimp Scampi with Linguine ($18), which included a trio of garlic knots. The pasta was cooked perfectly el dente, was exceptionally lemony and garlicky which I can appreciate, and included six large shrimp.
