We came here after an eye appointment across the street at Kaiser. My friend's eyes were dilated…read moreand he couldn't drive so I found this cute little restaurant so close by. You come in and you order at the counter and pay. They bring you your food. They played older music like from the 40s 50s and 60s and it was very enjoyable. . The food came pretty quickly and everything was delicious. I ordered a lunch special with two slices of pizza and it came out the size of half of a pizza. Minestrone soup was served hot and tasty So the portions are good. The people are nice and friendly, and the service is great.

No hate... but where these 5 stars coming from? I get no joy…read moreout of posting bad reviews, so bare with me. I had this place bookmarked literally for years, had been wanting to try their Pastrami Pizza. Like all ny reviews, it is unfiltered non-bias based in just the food. I assume most of these reviews are from locals with nostalgia vibes that grew up eating here? Came in on a weekday for work lunch, right around noon. At one point was the only customer waiting for their pick-up order. Girl at the register was nice, paid for my phone to-go order and waited about 5-10min over the original ETA pick up time. I ordered the Pastrami Pizza, was sooo disappointed. Taste was off, it was cheezy, just lacks character. The pickles and mustard did not save it. Maybe its the low quality pastrami they use, or the way the pastrami is prepared? Couldnt figure it out. Now the wings. Not good. Dry, lack seasoning, lack flavor. Ranch was decent, the watered down but yummy kind you get form Tams or hood burgers. This place has been around for a while, maybe surviving in their usual customers? Not sure.

I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try since it's so close to my house. I had…read morepretty high hopes based on the reviews, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. When I first arrived, there was a family sitting outside who I initially assumed were customers, but I later realized they appeared to be the owners. There was just a lot going on, with people going back and forth between sitting outside and going inside where the food was being prepared. Personally, that made me a little uncomfortable. I understand that it may be a family-owned business and everyone operates differently, but I would have preferred to see a little more separation between hanging out outside and preparing food. We ordered quite a bit: a pepperoni and jalapeño pizza, lasagna, buffalo wings, and the Mediterranean salad. The Mediterranean salad was actually the best thing we ordered. It tasted fresh and was probably the highlight of the meal. The garlic bread that came with the lasagna was also good. Unfortunately, the lasagna tasted like it may have been previously frozen, and overall, the rest of the food just didn't impress me. I also noticed that several of the prices on the menu appeared to have been changed by hand, with the old prices covered and new prices handwritten in. I completely understand that prices increase, but combined with everything else, it added to the overall disorganized feeling of the experience. Unfortunately, after eating the food, my stomach became extremely upset. I can't say whether it was the pizza, lasagna, wings, or something else entirely, so I'm not going to assume what caused it. I can only say that I felt fine beforehand and had a very upset stomach afterward, which obviously didn't help my overall impression of the experience. I really wanted to like this place, especially because it's so close to home, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. Between the atmosphere, the food, and how I felt afterward, I personally wouldn't return.

I tried this restaurant once many years ago but couldn't remember why I never came back. Today, we…read morewere craving pizza by the slice, and our usual spot was closed, so I decided to give them another try. We ordered four slices of pizza. Each slice is $3.75, or you can get two slices for $7.50 plus tax, so there's really no discount. I paid cash and noticed I was charged $7.99 for two slices instead of the advertised $7.50. I pointed it out to the man who took my order, but he insisted I wasn't overcharged. I even showed him the menu and the payment screen, where you could clearly see the discrepancy (see photos), but he was dismissive and said the register never makes mistakes. I had a long day at work and wasn't about to argue over less than a dollar. Still, it's the principle. Charging customers more than the posted price and refusing to acknowledge it is not okay. It made my experience very disappointing. As for the food, we ordered two pepperoni slices, one pepperoni and mushroom, and one ham and pineapple. The toppings were good, but this is definitely not New York-style pizza. The crust was overcooked and so dry that it was close to tasting like cardboard. I wouldn't recommend this place. If you do decide to eat here, pay close attention to the price you're charged and ask for a receipt.

I decided to go with special number 23 and number 27 also added wings and potato wedges or seeds and fries I should say. Everything taste good I'm not gonna complain pretty decent meal. Pizzas are well topped off with lots of toppings. I feel like my pictures do it no justice. My family and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you so much. FYI, you have to text in advance your order. If you walk in, you're liable to wait for hours. It's a very busy pizza place. We placed our order the night before all this food for $110 is a deal this easily feeds 10 to 15 people. Carry out only. Cash or Zelle payment. And no delivery.

Believe it or not they offer their awesome lunch special of two slices of pizza and a soda for $10 on a Sunday!! Wow!! Nice!! Luis asked us we would like to wait ten minutes as he was just making a fresh pepperoni pizza. Over and above service because he had three slices under the heat lamp. Nice!! This is a takeout restaurant with limited seating due to the fact that to space is small. But still it is a quiet space to sit down if you so desire. I encourage and recommend this pizza restaurant. Support the small business!

Finally checked out Lil' Luka's Pizza and it was great!…read more This spot comes from the original owners of Bakers & Baristas, so if you've been there before you already know they take their food SERIOUSLY. Right now Lil' Luka's runs as a Friday night pop-up from 5-10pm in Artesia out of the bbSuperette shop. They take pre-orders ahead of time and phone orders during service, which I'd recommend because it definitely gets busy. Most of the seating is outdoors. There's some standing communal tables inside and a few tables right outside the shop plus the communal patio tables in the quad area. Makes it feel like a chill neighborhood hangout. One thing I like is the menu rotates, so their specialty pizzas change every month. Gives you a reason to keep coming back. That said, Ilike to judge a pizza place by their Marg. If the Marg is good, the rest of the menu usually is too. Their Margherita was EXCELLENT. Simple, balanced, and the crust had that perfect chew with a little crisp on the bottom. Don't sleep on the potato situation either. If it's on the menu that month, GET IT. Low-key one of the better pizza pop-ups around right now. If you're around Cerritos/ Artesia, Long Beach or North OC, definitely give them a try.

Was actually going to give it a lower score, but it has some factors that I value a lot…read more Food Quality: Spaghetti/Ravioli Combo: 3/5 Tasted like I could have put it together with store bought pasta and canned tomato sauce. Flavor very minimum. Quantity is alright, but Price on the higher side for what I would pay for 1/2 Meatball 1/2 Sausage: 4/5 and 6/5 The 4/5 for the Meatball. It alright. I like how thick the meatballs were but flavors were lacking. The sausage is the real star here (6 out of 5!). I think this is the best item in the restaurant. Amazing Flavor! Definitely order the sausage with any of the pasta combos. It'll add the flavors that's missing I saw a photo of the appetizer platter and it was Titled the "alright platter". It's like borderline alright. 2/5 for me. Would not order again. Wings a little overcooked, cheese sticks weren't fully heated (center still a rectangle stick), zucchini sticks were really mushy inside and very small, probably 80% batter. fried mushroom was ok. Service: Spectacular. Lady at the front had a really positive attitude and was very helpful when I asked some questions about the menu. I think the service is probably one of the best here. Ambience: Looks like its more large-family oriented. So, I'm probably not their target demographic. I saw a lot of big party sizes here. They seem like regulars. I'm sure the pizza and the large quantity of pasta is fantastic option for the family.
