My friend has been coming here as long as he can remember and loves the Italian sub. So we went today and although the sandwich was good it wasn't great. It lacked oil and vinegar. So I asked for more and they don't really use vinegar. He gave me their Italian dressing. Well it wasn't the same so I'm not convinced. We also wanted to try their pizza since some of the reviews we iffy on that. I ordered a personal size one with pepperoni, Italian sausage (was crumbled not chunky like I like it), black olives and mushrooms. You need to order it well done and it happened to be thin crust so that was nice. It wasn't great but it was okay. The sauce lacked flavor. I'm not talking about more salt on just more seasoning flavoring but thats just me. We also got cheese bread. I would say the bread is the best thing there. Also the potato salad was good but they don't even make it there go figure!! But the best best thing there was Adrian our server. Hands down made the food taste better. Best customer service I've seen in a long time. Thank you Adrian for making today a memorable day. read more

Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday. Usually I don't miss Survivor but made an exception. We got a booth in the corner in this dimly lit restaurant. We started off with the antipasto salad which had a lot of meat and the dressing was very flavorful. We also had the freshly made garlic toast and penne pasta with marinara sauce. Super yummy. The main reason for me to come here was for the Pepperoni pizza. The sauce is superb, fresh mozzarella that is so stringy that you need a knife to cut through it. The best part about this pizza is the crust, crispy outer shell with a chewy inside. So good. The service is really good. They bring refills and clear of the tables in a timely manner. They even brought out a slice of Spumoni ice cream cake for her birthday. Very sweet treat. My friend would say the steak (with sautéed mushrooms) is the best meal option here, but I would have to disagree and say the pizza is. read more

Combo Pizza & Meat salad so good! I usually order here when we feel like having a cheat day at work! Great Portions & Price! Definitely recommend! read more

Okay, Domenick's doesn't get Michelin stars but my rating is for the reliable homemade Italian food and a warm welcome. On weekends, try the chicken dinner. We shared the chicken dinner (1/2 chicken) that comes with pasta and salad. They even make their own Italian dressing. My other favorites are the pork chops Italian-style topped with a sautéed onion, mushrooms and lots of garlic, or their delicious pizza and rigatoni with a sausage and peppers sauce. To me, Domenick's is like going home for dinner. read more

This pizza spot is delicious. The staff is friendly. They have plenty of parking & the restrooms are clean. The prices are decent. I am defenetly coming back. Oh yeah! The spaghetti is BOMB! read more

I had dinner at the San Pedro location tonight. Food was great. Only problem was that as I was leaving Teresa the lady who runs this joint says to me: "See you never..." was not sure what that meant exactly? Guess next time I'll be eating at Sorrentos on 25th street. Maybe she should be reminded on how to interact with costumers from her grandfather. read more

This place has been a Carson staple for at least 48 years. That's because I found out our server Barbara, has been there for 48 years! My colleagues remember her from the late 70's, but that was only 33 years ago. You can get good, hearty, and relatively cheap Italian eats here. The restaurant and the casual, homey feel here hasn't changed much over the years. I've had their eggplant parmesan, and "tri-tip" steak lunch on my last two visits. read more

Domenick's Pizza House - "Tri tip" steak lunch - Pizza Near Me - Carson, California

This pizza house has been a staple in Carson for well over 40 years. Growing up we would come here on Friday nights. Sadly, I walked in on a Tuesday around 4pm, we were the only customers. Our server (older female) was AWEFUL! she was rude, was throwing our glasses and utensils at us, and seemed irritated every time we asked for something. After waiting for 30 min, our food arrived cold! yes cold, the guy in the back who I think was the cook delivered our food. Im guessing he brought it out because Ms. Personality was too busy chatting with the other customer that came in after us. Now onto the food, its definitely not the quality of food it use to be. Which is disappointing, their sausage pizza always was a favorite of mine, and this time the sausage had zero taste. The lasagna was watery and had two square slices of mozzarella cheese on it. Really disappointed all the way around. From the service to the food!!! Wont be going back read more

Fantastic food Love going there often The food and service excellent My favorite is the pizza pastas and antipasto salad Their homemade italian and homemade blue cheese is out of this world: read more

Nasty place I once went to this place I found a huge fly in my salad it was so disgusting. I told the waiter about it so he said sorry took the salad back and said I won't charge you for the salad only your pasta. Smh I will never go to this place again read more

First time here (We have been to their Fallbrook location). Fun place, really good pizza, good wine list but a little pricey to drink here. Service was great-outside table. Only suggestion is that they keep a better eye on their restroom (they only have 1)-it was pretty messy We will be back soon!! read more

I came to Domenick's Pizza House yesterday with my family, I been wanting to try for a while now service is awesome the lady that greeted us was super friendly and even offered us a extra chair for our party of 5 she was prompt so we ordered a large pizza for our family and garlic bread hands down pizza was delicious and our cheesy bread was good ! read more

We have been coming here for over 37 years now and it's still great food. Literally this place has never disappointed us. I wish they were where I live now because I would definitely be here more often. Of course I would weigh more too... lol read more

This is the worst pizza I have ever tasted in my entire life. Nothing about this pizza makes me want to come back. The cheese is way too rubbery. The toppings are piled way too high, which would be fine if they actually tasted decent. The actual restaurant itself looks like a trailer that happens to contain a pizza oven. I would recommend looking for another place for pizza. read more

My family and I have been eating here for years. The food is always excellent...the pizza and the mostaccoli are our family favorites. The staff is friendly and it is a great place to come with the family.. Try the ground beef on your pizza......you won't be disappointed! read more

We came here for their steak special and OMG! Okay so the course comes with a salad, they ask you what dressing and we chose Italian and this is one of the best Italian dressings I've ever had, Then they bring garlic bread it's okay after the steak that has an AWESOME sauce along with mushrooms and onions and the portion is pretty damn good after they brought their pasta with meat sauce. It's a must have I will definitely come back again read more

Grew up coming here. Pizza was good up until the recession of 2008. Now,the pizza is trash. Lacks cheese,crust,and toppings. Used to be thicker. A favorite of my me and my wife. We went about 2 yrs ago and mentioned this and were told they had the same cook for 20 years and I was mistaken. Have not went back since and will not. RedWest it is (went here since I was about 5 yrs old,34 now) read more

Love your food, grew up going to have dinner and still order about 3 times a month, called on a Sunday night and was put on hold without the person who answered hitting the hold button, decided to call from another phone I mentioned to the young man who answered we where put on hold on another line and he basically called me a liar. read more

I've lived in Carson on and off for 30 years, and never been there...So i went to check it out.... The portions are HUUUUGE, the taste is ok, not great. I ordered an 11 dollar Calzone, It's big enough to feed four people, Im a big mofo, and I was able to finish about a 1/4 of the thing. It's not bad, but not really good. The crust was nice and light, and flaky, the ingredients ok, but not great. Better than something you could get at a dominos or whatever, but not as good as I would have liked. The people I went with had lasagna and spaghetti, and their portions were equally huge...they reported the food was ok, but not great. The place probably looks the same as the day it opened in 1956...They really need Chef Ramsey from Hell's kitchen to go in there and tune the place up. read more

The food can be hit and miss. Its usually pretty damn good but the last few time ive gone, its been underwhelming. It doesnt help the situation when the older waitress, barbara I think is her name, is serving you. She can be and usually is really rude unless you been going to eat there since 1955. The last time we went, my daughter ordered chicken alfredo and the alfredo sauce tasted like country gravy. The crust on the pizza is sometimes undercooked, especially if you order more than 2 toppings. read more

Came here for lunch with my co workers we first intended to go to Rosario's but decided here. The place was packed. Ordered off the lunch menu and got the meat ravioli it came with salad and garlic bread everything was good for salads they drowned it with dressing. Which was not good at all. The garlic bread was good though. My only gripe is the older lady who sat us down and took our order was not friendly at all no smiles or anything. We asked questions on the menu she just pointed and that is what you get. Not sure if i'll be back to this place maybe if i have the craving for ravioli. read more

Greetings YELPERS!! A few words on Domenick's. First, I rate Domenicks a 4 1/2 stars. As we know there is no half star for us to rate with, so we have to spell it out! There are a number of places that have rude horrible service. Yet we still go there. Oh, you ask why? C'mon, you know why, the food is fabulous, so good in fact, they can give poor service from the get-go, kick you on the arse on the way out, and you will still return. Although the service is not the worste, it is pretty bad. The food is absolutley great, both the taste and value! So, if you are not a complete cry baby, give it a try. You will be glad you did. read more

Rate: 4.75 Found this place by mere accident, originally was heading towards Red West Pizza for lunch only to have Alameda St. flooded due to the heavy rains. Whooops, detour turn the car and try an alternate route. With that being said, ventured through carson and figured lets make a left on Avalon Blvd. Any street with a Blvd should have some sort of restuarants. We passed Dominicks while driving by and after seeing the traffice ahead of us 'F*ck it" let's try it. Went back to Dominick's and to be honest, kind of wanted to. The best pizza places are the ones that have been around for a long time Red West, Rosario's, MeNed's and now Dominick's. The area did seem...well, Ghetto! Anyways, venture in...the area did seem a little ghetto because walking in, we were greeted with a 'find a seat, someone will attend to you.' But like in a hardcore manner, like I've been punked before... so look at me wrong and I'll go loco on you. Enough with the formalities, lets talk about the food. Ordered a medium pizza 1/2 Pepperoni and 1/2 pineapples,etc 'nancy-type' pizza. While waiting for the pizza we ordered a couple salads and man they were pretty damn good. Now came the Pizza... DUDE!!! This is freakin' good. Everything about the pizza: the dough, the sauce, the cheese, the pepperoni was absolute money. Very delicious and very satisfying. This place is a definite must and would recommend it to everyone. Delicious! Rating: 1. Me N Ed's 2. Rosarios 3 and 4 - Red West & Dominik's 5. everything else.... read more

One of the best, non-chain family Italian restaurants ever. Funny thing is, I've never even had their pizza (although I've heard it's pretty good). Order their lemon and herb chicken dinner, and you'll be set! It's so HUGE, you'll be able to split it between two people. They like to douse their salad with their amazing house dressing. My salad bowl had a little lake in it once I devoured all the lettuce leaves, but you can ask for the dressing on the side if you prefer your salad to not be THAT wet. ORDER THE SPUMONI CAKE AT THE END! It is to die for, trust. read more

I feel that it is only fair to update my feelings on this spot, since things have since changed. The food and servings are generous. The service is much more friendly and inviting. Customer service: they burnt my pizza, yet still gave it to me plus the replacement. I actually preferred the burnt over the remade one teehee. Recommendation: Garlic Chicken, which comes with a side of pasta and a side salad. This dish can easily feed two. It is close to my home, so that is a plus, otherwise I am not sure I'd drive out of the way for it. read more

I was a little optimistic about going here based on the customer service reviews. I must have went on a good day because the woman who took my order was decent. At the recommendation of friend I ordered the Combination pizza. Boy was it good! Loaded with meat and fresh veggies! Great crust! And tasteful! The only con I would say is that they need a website. But I will definitely be back for that Yummy pizza! read more

My Brother took me here for the first time many years ago, he's kind of a restaurant guru, being a Longshoreman, a big guy, and someone who loves to eat good food, you can name the restaurant, and he's been there before : ) Years prior to that, Dominick's was a place that my Dad used to take my Mom on dates, so this place has an interesting background for me, I was recently searching for the perfect place to take a friend for his birthday, and remembered this place with great fondness, I love the Eggplant Parmesan, and have yet to find it done better in any other place, I highly recommend Dominick's to friends, and family, it's not a posh place, it's an elbows on the table, family style restaurant which I love, and the service was always pleasant, the food delicious... read more

First time here, we ordered a large combination pizza. The pizza was perfectly layered with pepperoni, sausage, and lots of cheese. What sealed the deal was the sauce, you can tell it's made fresh and not from a can! Definitely coming back! read more

Domenick's Pizza House has been located right next to the railroad tracks in Carson since 1955. Whether it is on the good side of the tracks or the bad side of the tracks on Avalon Boulevard has changed more than once in the 45 years that my family has been patronizing the family-owned pizzeria. I won't ever forget a childhood spent drinking root beer out of their red plastic cups while playing "Billy Don't be a Hero" on the jukebox. In the early days, the rotund and effusive Domenick would greet each table with warmness and enthusiasm. The original Domenick is long gone now, as are the first two sons. The third son, Domenick Jr., is now running the place himself. The smiles and hugs are still there, but no one forgets Domenick Sr., whose jolly likeness dominates the wall. Over all of these years, Domenick's has retained its old school pizza house vibe, the same recipes, and the same menu, with cringe-worthy sandwich titles like "the Mussolini" and "The Dago Burger". The sandwiches at Domenick's are stunning, especially the Italian sub, made with mortadella, provolone and salami. The crust of the warmed bread crackles with each bite until it gives way to the soft, supple interior and fatty fillings. The meatball sandwich is enough for two people, with giant meatballs and a tangy red sauce causing you to take bites that are too big to be good for you. The burgers are served as a hoagie-shaped patty on the same Italian bread. If you are tired of nouvelle regional Italian restaurants and pine for the old-fashioned red-sauce joints, Domenick's is your place. You can still order a variety of mix and match old-fashioned pastas that will make you nostalgic for the old days. The ravioli are perfectly cooked, and spaghetti with red sauce is offered as a side dish. Domenick's pizza toppings are spot-on, with thickly sliced pepperoni cooked until it is crispy. Over the years, though, we have noticed the crust is unpredictable. Sometimes it's a little too doughy and soft. That's really the only complaint, not bad for 45 years. read more

I have had pizza from here when we catered it from work for 10 years, but have never actually ordered here myself until this year. Man, is this place amazing! Small mom and pop place (run by mamma) with big portions and even bigger flavor. Its the only local Italian eatery I know of in the area that is not a corporate chain. They have unusual methods like packing their salad to go in a Chinese food container that actually fits twice the salad and seems to keep it fresher (I can never eat the full portion so I save the salad for the next day). They have a delicious Tuna pizza which I had never heard of and ordered one on a dare. Its my favorite now... I don't understand the negative reviews. Maybe those people need a sense of humor, but if you are looking for good down to earth home made Italian food this is the place for you. If you are just looking for a Hollywood show and flavor is not so important, may I suggest a national chain? read more

Went to this place with co-workers that come here regularly, so they just told the waitress "we'll have the regular." I have no idea what the exact menu names were, but I think we had pepperoni pizza and their house salad. I'm not much of a pizza person, but I do know that this place is known for their pizza. It was pretty good according to my books, but again, not a pizza person. Their salad, however, that's a different story. It was definitely full of garlic flavor with ham, lettuce, and cheese. But the most memorable thing from the salad: GARLIC. I love garlic, so it's not a problem for me, but they do put in so much garlic that it's AMAZING. Love it. Have to eat the salad fresh in the restaurant. Heard it doesn't taste as great as the hype if you pack it to eat hours later. read more

This place was amazing!! We walked in hungry and boy did they not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious and they really treated us like an extension of their family. Please try the steak with garlic. I think they call it Italian style! read more

Better pizza than pizza hut or dominos. This location can get "comfy" with lots if people. It's small. The dinners are the real winners here. Most if not all dinners come with a salad (get the house Italian!), garlic bread, a side of pasta with sauce ( varies with each dinner), and your main entree. Despite it's smallish dinning area, it is a favorite locals spot. You can also phone your orders ahead. read more

Domenick's Pizza House - Closing every Monday in august - Pizza Near Me - Carson, California

Most people that eat here either love it or hate it. I find it tolerable, we eat lunch there every so often. It is your typical mom & pops joint. Outdated interior, exterior - like stepping back in time. Years of grease on the inside and years of tar on the roof. The food is okay. I'd recommend the pizza, steak sandwich, godfather sandwich are all good. Pasta is so-so, their sauce is not to my liking. Portions are plentiful. the kind of place where if you order a salad, you get a giant bowl of lettuce with a giant bowl of dressing. The one thing that may put people off is the service. On the surface, it borders on being rude. It's a no nonsense approach. My co-workers and I have affectionately dubbed the lady that runs the joint the "Italian Nazi" (as in Soup Nazi from Seinfeld). She is an acquired taste. You sort of get used to it and then the more you come in, the more she recognizes you, the friendlier she gets. Don't dilly dally when you order though, just get your order out and move along or . . . No Soup For You!!! If you are picky about your food, don't go there. They do have their local clicks there, many times open tables will be "reserved" for the local guys wearing blue jump suits (BP refinery workers I think). They have probably been going there for years and they seem to get preferential treatment. read more

If you didn't know this place was there, you would drive right by it, and that would be a shame. Very comfortable old-school atmosphere. The wait staff is friendly, professional and prompt. Now for the food. EXCELLENT! The salad with their house dressing is a must have. How they can make a simple salad of romaine lettuce and red cabbage taste so good is just the beginning. The pizza is fantastic and for lighter appetites, they offer a personal size pizza which is not on the menu. Another great dish is their baked Italian chicken served with a lemon/herb/garlic sauce which is to die for. Ask for a side of the lemon sauce, as you will want to dip every bite of chicken into it! Other great dishes are the submarine sandwich, the steak special which comes smothered with fresh mushrooms and onions and finally the pork chops. Give this place a try when you're in the mood for some good Italian food. You won't be disappointed. read more

Best pasta ever!!!! And the Garlic bread yum yum....The service is 5 star by far my favorite restaurant ....highly recommend!!!, The house dressing and salad are another great item. read more

Pretty Good Stuff. It has that good old fashioned pizza joint ambiance. Candles on the table, brick & wood paneling and the prerequisite red vinyl booths. The staff was friendly and pretty attentive, coming around for refills and the like frequently. We ordered the Dominick's specialty pizza. it was basically the loaded (supreme) pizza. The crust was a good thin crust and not greasy. the toppings were pretty typical and it was not oversauced. The toppings were piled on almost too much (never thought i'd say that) It made it a bit hard to eat, had to use a fork. normally thin crust you can just roll up and stuff in but this was more like pan style toppings on thin crust. I'd go back but not my favorite place in for pizza yet. read more

Wow. What a great place. Food awesome. Service five star. Price I cannot believe they can stay in business. Ordered linguini and clams. The best. So much per order I could only finish 1/3 of the plate. My wife had the Italian Chicken. It's half of a large Chicken, salad and Pasta. This is my go to place for Family Italian. read more

Domenicks is fabled in my family... Domenicks was the first place that my Great Grandfather had pizza in the 1950s... My family originally went there to order hamburgers... but Domenick asked if my family wanted to try the "Pizza"... Ever since then my family has gone to Domenicks I once lived in Italy for two years for the US Air Force and there was a pizza place called Pizza USA in a town called Maniago that had a photo of Domenicks in Wilmington, CA. Pizza USA tried to mimic the USA "Deep Dish" style of pizza rather than the thinner pizza of Italy It sill wasn't better than Domenicks The Domenicks Combination Pizza is a Tour De Force... You bite into the cheese and underneath is More Pepperoni... MAMA MIA!!!! read more
