    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!

    Mexican Pizza

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

    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.

    Bambino's Special Pizza - personal

    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.

    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.

    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.

Their 4 squares was more than what I had expected. 2 slices filled me up!

You can actually miss it if you're not too familiar. Pizza. Astounding. Definitely fresh ingredients. Tastes like Detroit style. Massive amount of cheese but not too much where it's overpowering. The pepperoni were the right amount as they double up the layers, hence the name. The workers were quick to attend to our needs. Service was definitely what you'd expect for a restaurant. However , dining location indoors only is quite small, maybe about 3-4 tables with shut 4 seats to each. Overall, I would come back and try their other pies, we love pizza and this is our new favorite place to visit when we're in the area!

It's a smaller franchise so…read morethere's other locations out there, but this is the closest one to me, so if I'm ever in Pasadena and crave a slice of 'za, this is the place to go. It's one of my friend's favorite places too. Parking can be free if you're down to hunt for it, walk a bit, and mind the signs, but if anything there's always metered parking or the parking structures, many such Pasadena cases, but makes sense for the downtown area. My friends and I came here on a later Friday evening and there was no wait to walk up to the counter and order. Lots of historic pictures of celebrities who have dined there. Fun fact, NONE of the framed pictures and artwork (especially the largest one) are centered. If you're not too sure what to order, they have a lot of their pizza behind the glass for you to get an idea of what you're going to be feasting on. Most items come out quickly and decently hot, but for freshly made/assembled items like the garlic bread I ordered, it may take 10-15 minutes, but it comes out super hot and it's super worth it. Water is self serve and they also have condiments like Parmesan cheese, crushed red peppers, garlic powder, and other various spices. For my order, we got the: 1) Spicy Spring: -Rectangular cut pizza with Diavolo (one of the funniest Jojo villains to be honest) sauce, small cup pepperonis, fresh mozzarella, and Pecorino Romano. -I love pepperonis and they did not skimp out on how many goes on a slice. Crispy edges and salty perfection. Not super spicy, but has enough of a kick to make each bite addicting. 2) Sicilian Style Garlic Bread: -If you told me this was a sauceless cheese pizza I would have wholeheartedly believed you. Comes in a rectangle cut into 6 pieces. Super shareable and comes with your choice of sauce and I got the vodka sauce. -The worker in the cool goggle glasses recommended putting the crushed red peppers with the vodka sauce, and he was COOKING. Delicious and super garlicky and cheesy on it's own but the additional add-ons added a much needed extra kick to keep things lively. Word of warning, it is SUPER oily, but that's partially what makes a pizza so indulgently deliciously. Solid favorite of Pasadena and for pizza enjoyers.

Or likely the meddling of Prince Streets new partner Lawrence Kourie (as of March 2026). We couldn't believe this was the same Prince St. pizza we had when they first opened. Like another reviewer said here, it tastes like Sabbarro now. Ugh. They must be in the Old Town restaurant death spiral - slow business = cut quality = more slow business = cut quality -until close. Price Street has now consistently disappointed - we are done.

I ordered the Settebello $21 pizza as a main entree of which I thought was advertised with pancetta, mushrooms and Italian sausage. Pizza came out hot and fresh, but with prosciutto instead of the perceived menu listed pancetta. Pizza sauce was good, the sausage and mushrooms were great. Crust was a little doughy, not crispy but charcoal charred in places. Not phenomenal but not bad, middle of the road overall. Service started off great but fell flat to the floor. Drinks and food came out on time indicating bar staff and kitchen staff were on point. Waiting staff could up their game. No check up or check in. No offers for drink refills or another round. I had to ask for refills on water. Final bill $56.35 for one drink, appetizer and pizza for a solo dinner. Three (3) stars at best! Room for improvements.

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.

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.
