I've been coming to this location for over 10 years. The parking can be a little limited but this place is worth it! The staff is always friendly, the food is always good and beer is cold. This location has plenty of seating the pastrami pizza, wings and caesar salad are always my go to items! It's a pretty chill location regardless if seated at the bar or main dinning area. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for years to try their famous pastrami pizza. It didn't disappoint! Delicious pastrami, not fatty or too salty. Crust was thicker but not too much and I loved the crispness. Cooked to perfection in my opinion. Happy hour prices are 50% off the mini/individual sized pizzas. We tried the Downey special, buffalo chicken and their pesty pizza which has great pesto sauce with a nice garlic flavor too. Each one was delicious. Attentive service and our server came to check on us often which was appreciated. Mozzarella sticks were also made very well and you could see the stringy cheese. I'll be brining my family here soon. Plenty of seating. Nice and simple atmosphere. read more

Food- wings come out burnt which is disappointing because the sauce flavor is there. Its a repeated experience this is why im leaving this review along with the pic of the burnt chicken wings. Pizza- so mid. Sauce needs way more flavor, toppings need to be cooked better. Service- consistently okay. Parking- easy. read more

I love me a good specialty pizza, but Downey Pizza Company really did something special here.First of all... a PAStrami pizza?! Who told them they could go this hard? And then on top of that--an Argentinian pizza, drizzled with oils and spices, with that beautiful white mozzarella and beef pepperoni? Yeah... they knew exactly what they were doing.Let me be real for a second--growing up a Seventh-day Adventist kid, you don't understand the struggle of missing out on pepperoni pizza. I spent YEARS trying to convince myself that a margarita pizza was the same thing. Like, "it's fine... it's basically the same..." But let's be honest--it's NOT.So when I tell you this place is healing childhood trauma... I mean that.Finally being able to enjoy a legit "pepperoni" pizza--with beef pepperoni that actually tastes amazing--and then getting hit with those bold Argentinian flavors? Yeah, I'm sold.Downey Pizza Company didn't just make pizza... they made an experience.10/10. I'm coming back and bringing all my fellow "we couldn't eat that growing up" people with me. read more

Downey Pizza Co. is not your ordinary pizza joint, they have a great selection of speciality pizzas that are fun and taste great. For example, they have an original pastrami (my favorite!!), they also have a pizza that is topped with alfredo sauce, mushrooms, garlic, chicken, and even an al pastor pizza option. That one I've never tried before, but it sounds good/interesting. Their pizza dough is always spot on, thick crust, fresh topping. They have a big dinning area, sports bar vibe but parking is pretty tight. I've only dinned in once so I'm not sure how the service is here, I'll usually get delivery to avoid that hassle of going there or I'll pick up. I don't live close but it's worth the drive. Overall, their pizza is great and I'm always happy afterwards. I took a screenshot of the website for the most up to date pricing as of January 2026. read more

A 16 year resident of Downey and this pizza place use to be one of the best. But this is the last time I order from them. The wings are dry, cold and do not taste good. The pizza is flavorless and doesn't have much cheese. The quality has definitely deteriorated. The last few times I have ordered it's been bad but I keep giving it another shot. Well not anymore. I am done with this place. read more

My corkers and I bought a pastrami pizza today and it was not good. It had lots of mustard and pickles. There was very little cheese or pastrami on that pizza. Don't waste your money. This place is not what it used to be. Beware. read more

With all the new pizza places opening in Downey, you'd think Downy Pizza Co. would try to stand out with service and quality, but they don't. Although it's been a staple in the community for some time and being back warm and cozy memories, they're really falling on their service these days. We ordered several large pizzas for an event, ordered days before, and paid in advance. However, we were still left waiting forever when we went to pick them up, there was no attempt to even address the issue, and the pizzas were decent, but the service here just seems to keep falling, and the value isn't there at all anymore.

Downey Pizza Company still has some of the best Pastrami Pizza. Fresh, and yummy consistent almost all the time. But they are much more than pastrami and mustard in a pizza. This place gives good ol' family dinner hangout and i am here for it. We usually get an order of wings and mozzarella sticks. Its def a no frills place, but very consistent with their food and service. Sometimes service can be slow, but understandable expected when the place is crowded. Pro-Tip: Order ahead if your order is for take-out. Pizza is fresh and takes some time. Usually even waiting a few more minutes than the given pick-up time. read more

First timer!!! Where have I been?!?!? Please tell me. And I used to live in Downey and didn't know about this place. Let's get to it ..... My in-laws asked to meet here for their daughter's birthday. Best decision EVER Lol Parking is easy and has plenty of it. Service was fast , when I tell you our wings were in n out it's because they sure were. We ordered the wings Pineapple and Habanero not spicy at all and Buffalo. Very good flavor and cooked to a T. We also ordered the Pastrami pizza I know I know What! But don't knock and go try it. It's fire! Also ordered the chicken Alfredo pizza and that was good too. When in Downey definitely need to stop by and there's tv"s you can watch whatever game. And yes there's beer Lol read more

Came here because I was recommended this place for their pizza and calzones by Costco staff when they overheard me talking about whether to get the calzones or not at Costco. And I want to say that they have solid happy hours, but the bars get packed since there isn't any seats so its first come first served. We came for happy hour but ended up dining in regular section, their pizza is delicious and crust is really good. However the size amount to the price isn't quite a good ratio, but I guess if that is what it takes to get a good pizza, once in a while isn't too bad. Ironically did not try the calzone, so it will have to be a next time try. Speaking of which - we did get their draft beer and blended drinks, they were big and delicious! Would def come back again! And they play sports on the TV screen like a sports bar! They have limited parking space but private lot! read more

Seen really good reviews about this place decided to come check them out the place itself. It's kinda dark and lonely. They need more signs or something more decorative to vibe it up as for the food. The artist choked dip was really good I gave it a 5 out of 5 it was really good nice and cheesy and the bread they serve you with it was really soft and warm the wings. They get a 3 out of 5 they were a little bit undercooked. They should've been a little bit more crispy and the sauce was actually pretty good. I wish they cooked it with the sauce instead of sprinkling on top as far the pizza they get a 4 out of 5 plenty of cheese the sauce was really good. Only thing I didn't like was the pizza dough. It was a little bit too much on the edge, but it was soft. Will I come back maybe if I'm in the area I live 30 minutes away so I don't see myself driving way out here just to eat the pizza. That's for the service. It was pretty good. They sat us down right away and sent someone to take care of this drink. However, I don't know if it was just my luck, but I ordered a blue moon on draft and it was flat they replaced it and that one was still flat so I switched up to a Corona and that was also flat. I told the lady maybe they need to replace the C2 tank because the beer itself was nice and cold is just was too flat so I end up going with a regular bottled beer to be on the safe side after the third try besides that if you're close by and live in the area check them out the food is pretty good read more

We came on a Friday night. There was a 2 hour stay time limit due to a Dodger game. We were sat immediately, which was nice. We ordered the Italian Calzone, mini cheese pizza, mini BBQ chicken pizza, wings and potato wedges. The food was okay. I really wanted to like the food to support this local restaurant but it lacked flavor. The server was nice and attentive. There is plenty of seating inside and some seating outside. read more

Pretty weak, to be honest. Southeast LA just doesn't have great pizza--it's been a pretty disappointing experience so far. And these prices? You're seriously telling me I have to pay that much for a "world-famous" pizza that tastes like a Big Mac on bread? read more

After years of hearing people talk about the pastrami pizza, Keep in mind I'm a person that does not like pickles or mustard, but holy smokes this is one of the greatest slices of pizza I have ever tried like ever ever the hype is real!! It was so good we had to order another box of pizza cause we finished the first box super quick highly recommended read more

Came here for the first time on Saturday night for dinner. Parking area was tight and small, but there were enough spaces for about 20 cars. We found parking right after the main parking area. We were greeted right away and asked if we wanted booth or table. We opted for table since booths were not available and people were waiting for it. There were about 7 or 8 groups already dining and more coming in after us. We were seated and got our drink orders taken. They gave us a few minutes to look through the menu. Once our drinks came, we were ready to order. We got a large pepperoni pizza for the table. My husband got an Italian calzone and I ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Since everything is made to order and fresh, we waited a bit, not too long though. My fettuccine came out first and then 5 minutes later our pizza and last was my husband's calzone. Everything was hot and delicious. As we ate, more groups came and filled the restaurant. There were a lot of pick up orders also. Wait staff was friendly and our waitress checked on us throughout our meal. Will definitely come back for more delicious food!!! read more

Placed an uber order and called immediately within 5 seconds to modify it (due to allergy) since their page on the app doesnt allow for it. They claimed they put it in the oven already and the manager said no to remaking it even though theres no way it was prepared and already put in the oven within 30 seconds. Lost a semi regular customer with that decision. Not to mention the direct phone orders they get wrong over the years. read more

Bad customer service from manager today, we found a hair in our food long hair my hair was up and I told the waitress as I was pulling off my food and giving it to her she called the manager and he claimed it wasn't anyone in there staff ... very strange, my husband and waitress seen it being pulled from the food, manager only said sorry and nothing he can do about it , so I told the restaurant guest be careful as I left, I was walking to my car and the same manager comes out and starts harassing me and calling me names as my husband was still in the restaurant restroom I felt very scared he claimed he was going to call the police which in fact I should have ! Hope the owner contacts me please ! You need better service and much more management skills especially addressing the situation with insult's !! ( please see your cameras) In the spirit of fairness, when is it okay for a dispute in the establishment proper. As I walked out in the parking lot, on site manager followed me and verbally attacked me by calling me fucking bitch and get the fuck out of here. He did this in the absence of my husband and to a woman. It is never okay to retaliate against any patron and especially a women. Please see exterior cameras. Response to the owner but looks like the manager I dealt with at the restaurant: Also your food is not that great anyway to worry about it ! Your customer service is extremely bad and you the owner need to fire the manager for lying to you to keep his job and yes it's not my hair and you would have seen that on your camera but I guess your company needs the best reviews rather than the truth .. to be told ! Lost another customer, word of mouth will be told ... but let me tell you I think you're worried about negative reviews and the truth about your establishment! Shame on you STOP Erasing our reviews!!!! read more

First off, I would like to say that this is the best and most unique pizza place I've been too, so good that I had to write a review about it. We got the downey special and the original pastrami pizza. What I loved about the downey special were the mushrooms and the bell peppers. If you like the King Arthur pizza from round table pizza, then you'll love this flavor even more . The melty cheese and the savory, semi-soft pepperoni, with the delicious toppings make for the perfect pizza, great for all. The pastrami original pizza was the one I was most excited about because they only make this type of pizza here. It was a nice mixture of crispy pastrami, crunchy, refreshing pickles, and mustard. Even if you don't like mustard, I swear you will like this pizza. It is that good. The staff were nice and were not rude at all. Our pizza came out within 10 minutes and was hot and fresh. Lastly, the ambiance was very nice in my opinion. If you don't like loud spaces, then be warned because it was pretty noisy and busy. The location was just okay and it was a bit hard to find parking. Overall, I would highly recommend this delicious pizza place if you're looking for somewhere with unique, indulgent pizzas! read more

Super Bowl Sunday and you don't do to go orders? Now I remember why I don't like coming here. Go to Baby Bros! WAAAYYY BETTER. And they won't just brush you off or be rude to you. Still no excuse for your workers to always be rude. Seems like the only consistent thing going on here. read more

For all the hype that this place gets. I really didn't care for it. The sauce has no seasoning. It was like smeared tomato paste. Sausage was sorely lacking. But it had adequate pepperoni. Crust was doughy. Service for the To-Go order was great. Pleasant staff. Ambiance- Busy loud sports bar type place. Not sure if I'll be back, or if I'm still searching for a good pizza. read more

Make this make sense! I ordered a pizza from DPC today and opened it up and it looked like this. Clearly there's a slice missing or something because there's a whole gap. I called to complain or ask what's this about. Spoke to 2 different people and sent them this video and photos only to get a rude "manager" on the phone and tell me she won't do anything about it. I've been going here for idk how many years even after their terrible customer service but like I told her, there's a pizza shop right on the other side of the street - Baby Bros pizza that makes great pizza as well. Lost a client for sure and ruined my dinner. It's a real concern when your customers feel cheated but whatever. read more

The ambiance here is great. It's what you think about when you imagine a pizza joint in the middle of the suburbs. Think Shakeys but with a more "homey" feel.

Jersey girl trying to find yummy New York style in LA. Slices weren't bad, I thought the taste was good. but so so small. Kind of like a dominos pie. Said 16 inch on the menu for the 8 slices.

I came here to eat on Easter on my lunch break and I ordered a pizza and wings. The wings came out within two minutes seemed as they were sitting then I ordered a Coke which was flat so I had to switch it to can Coke which started off on the wrong foot then to top it off at the end I tell the waitress I'm going to the restroom and can I get the check as I come back from the restroom? My table is cleaned and no check on the table which I had to look for the waitress and then pay at the Front. I find that route for them to clear a table so fast what if I wasn't done eating I don't think I will be coming here again. read more

I usually order delivery from Downey Pizza Company and they always get my order correct and the experience is always smooth and satisfying. I stopped in recently to order a pizza, just cheese, extra pizza sauce and well done; the employee who took my order, Emily was hospitable, attentive, pleasant and professional. I ordered a soda from the bar while waiting and the bar tender, also a female, whose name I cannot recall, was welcoming and warm too. I love the pizza here, consistent and fine ingredients.

Downey Pizza Company is the birthplace of the Pastrami Pizza -- period. I've tried other spots that offer their own version, but nothing comes close. Downey Pizza Co. absolutely blows them all away. Their Pastrami Pizza is unbelievably fresh, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor in every bite. Pair it with their crispy potato wedges and wings, and you've got the ultimate combo. The quality, consistency, and taste here are unmatched. If you want the real Pastrami Pizza experience, this is the only place to go. I have never had an issue with service here so I don't even know what these other people on yelp are talking about. Everything here is awesome. read more

We enjoy the pizza here but it might be our last time there. We did a preorder for Saturday and I was very disappointed. I made a pick up order for 12:45. I had my boy friend run in well I stood in the car with my 8 month old baby. He was told the pizza would be ready in about 7 mins but it was 20 mins later we actually left. My boy friend asked a lady who got there the same time and walked out before him if she had preordered her pizza and she said she didn't. So why is it that our pizza was preordered, not ready and this lady received her pizza before we did. I called to complain and I was told the manger had left for the day and they would reach out. It's Tuesday evening and no one has reached out. I worked with people so I am big on customer service. read more
