    Pepperoni med pizza

    First time ordering gave it a chance, and one my pizza is burnt. Also order the bbq chicken that was a somewhat burnt as well. Overall not impressed, taste wasn't that great either. At least remake the pizza guys..

    This place has great pizza at a great price. I really liked the crust and the toppings were great quality. I've always bought take-out from this place but I kind of like the interior of the restaurant for its mom-and-pop feel so I could see myself dining in also.

    Extra large

    Good pizza! It has a nice crunch! I ordered an extra-large pizza, half pepperoni and half pineapple, and it was fantastic. Even two days after my order, I can still taste it. The service was great, and the restroom was quite clean.

    Constant spam on/in my door. STOP!

    |[ s p a m ]| Wrote a review before not sure what happened to it but I'll repeat it again. They will constantly blow up your mailbox and trespass into private property to spam you with their junky ADs!! It seems they have a second location with a similar name because I just got spammed yet again (ad tucked into my door) and the AD looks identical. QUIT SPAMMING PEOPLE!!!! It is extremely annoying and I am not interested and never will be. :( |[ n o ]| It is illegal to force yourself into private property to spam people with junk and force them to have to throw away the trash. As you can see from other reviews they shamelessly so this, most like bc the food is subpar. Market the legit way and work on making your stuff better instead of turning people like myself off from ever giving the time of day.

    (Tookout 01/16/21 SA @ 12:00pm): Based on their reviews, this pizza joint was famous in their local neighborhood! Living during these COVID-19 times, my roommate and I have eaten a lot of takeout pizza as we have systematically been trying all of the neighborhood pizza joints and wherever we might be which was the latter case this time with Famous Pizza. I've seen their coupon menus https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pbuOZ41qY4jgZhLSewEhHA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw littered about at a nearby rental property for years and finally decided to give them a shot as I worked in the Valley. According to the presumed male owner I met, they have been around for over 13 years. And, as a marketing professional I succumbed to their paper spamming - damn you! Would I consider them again since I was always in the area!? PURCHASE Potato Curls w/Marinara Dipping Sauce ($8.99): A pure impulse buy, these thick spud curls were lightly fried with a moist steamy inside and totally a meal on its own; I was pleasantly surprised https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=LxoYHZFg7cF4wk-tv5SR7Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! 10pc Spicy Chicken Wings w/Ranch Dipping Sauces ($9.99): At $1.00/piece and truly an impulse buy, these were fine but surely nothing special or memorable https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hlF2WzqHms-bbA0YjHoxtw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Chicken Caesar Salad ($10.99): Crisp romaine lettuce, seasoned croutons, Persian cucumber, shredded parmesan cheese, chicken bits, lime wedges, and Caesar dressing on the side, this was a large simple fresh salad while the dressing was flavorful with a smooth texture; not my favorite Greek salad but served its purpose in getting greens inside of me and also a meal on its own https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=k2mCcolO2CFn0zjsCDN6Ow&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Artichoke Hearts & Mushroom 2-Topping 14" Large Pizza (2/$21.99 Coupon Promo): My roommate's choice, I bit burnt on top with a decent amount of fresh toppings, the thing that stood out the most was the lovely fluffy pillowy crust I probably could've comfortably slept on it and then eaten it in the morning! I wished there was more sauce, but all was fine https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=HMwE2FupRQ9cYfev5alvyA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Ham & Pineapple 2-Topping 14" Large Pizza (2/$21.99 Coupon Promo): My choice, I went Hawaiian and loved every bite. The same comments from above also applied and could never have enough toppings https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=3R5-8NnNK4FjXWqlEV7ghg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE During these COVID-19 times, they recommended online orders/payment for takeout although they also accepted phone orders and walk-ups (I did the latter). The older gentleman who took my order was friendly and efficient. I knew what I wanted, placed my order, and less than 20 minutes later everything was ready to go - great job! PARKING (FREE) Located in a strip mall with several businesses at the intersection of Victory Blvd. and Hazeltine Ave., I found a spot in the crammed lot. Otherwise, there was plenty of street parking along the aforementioned streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A quaint dining area (three tables) and a single old arcade game which were not in use due to COVID-19, the vibe was mainly a pick-up order kind of joint. The orange-painted walls were covered with generic pizza parlor food framed pictures https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2CWlgX9feOGnFvp8MGMaHQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Decent natural lighting came in through the signage-covered front glass windows and front door while soul-sucking fluorescent ceiling lights covered the rest. There was one TV and no background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Famous Pizza was a nice surprise and another example where targeted marketing can work. Because of its proximity to one of my family's rental properties, I would consider another visit. Frankly speaking, I'd go back only for the cloudlike crusted pizzas (the other items were nothing special) as long as the prices stayed better than comparable and the ingredients continued to be fresh while the service was fast and friendly. Plus, it was always a pleasure to support a mom & pop small business. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $60.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    just ordered delivery and delivery came 15 min late and driver forgot my salad, Chicken fingers were MICROWAVED(Rubbery, and soggy), no marinara for mozzarella sticks, and CALLED 12 times and they are not answering the phone to help. Update after 15 calls.. They picked up the phone and let me listen to background noise 3 times. Now its just a busy tone. pizza flavor was 3/5.. and that was the best part. going to have to call this 60$ meal a near complete loss/robbery and order something else to eat

    Chicken and bell pepper

    What great pizza honestly all those bad review maybe just had a bad experience and should go in Person instead of ordering online I came here many time and never fails great pizza my kids love it and so do we. the worker that was there was a good guy . might not be like big cooperations like dominos Pizza Hut ext but the small companies are always amazing This company has been here for many years and the reason they are still open is due to great pizza ! So keep it going

    I had Ham,, pepperoni, double pineapple, and mushroom. Heavy sauce. Heavenly!
    Joelle L.

    I love this place! 5 toppings of your choice 18.99. I never eat the crust, except for here! Soft yet crispy! Great flavor and love the sauce. Fast and consistent. I always pick up order and it's hot and ready in 10-15 min. Eat this pizza!

    I am a huge fan of Sweet Green restaurants for having a good variety of vegan options and being…read moreaffordable priced. While in the area for a workout, I found myself famished and decided to stop here for a quick bite to take home with me. I ordered a bowl to go and it was made promptly although the order didn't end up being completely correct. I ordered a create your own bowl with some wild rice and kale, cucumbers, apples, chickpeas and sweet potatoes. I had also ordered the spicy cashew dressing and pesto vinaigrette but in place of the pesto vinaigrette I was given hot sauce. I double checked the order slip that was placed on the package and it was marked with both dressings, so I know the mistake wasn't on my end. Regardless, all of the veggies were very fresh and the dressing and hot sauce were very flavorful. Everything was portioned well and the meal was very hearty. It was also packaged in a way that made it easy to take with me to go. They have a lovely spacious outdoor patio that I would have loved to sit on, especially since it was a gorgeous day out. The inside and exterior of the restaurant was also very clean and tidy and bright. The service was friendly but it was busy when I came, so it felt like they were very rushed. Parking was very easy in their giant lot that they share with Amazon Fresh and a few other businesses.

The salads when we got them home were just about inedible. The actual "greens" were OK, I guess. But: -the dressings sucked...bad tastes and so sweet. -both of us bit into chicken pieces that had the crunchy cartilage part. This is BASIC for any restaurant serving chicken... no Crunchy Cartilage Parts! -the assembly line preparation looks like it could be kind of cool and efficient if all the elements were crazy good. Like Chipotle back in the day. But this looked like what it was... children dipping their ladles into not so great-looking bins of ingredients. (The kid serving us was actually quite nice and personable.) -I went and looked at the calories, fats, carbs, etc (online)( and was not impressed. Not how I want to use up that 755 calories for a salad. I predict this place will be gone within a few months of the new Whole Foods going into this complex. I'm so bummed... I just wanted a decent place to grab a decent salad that is walking distance from my house.

I saw 4 pieces - all small and two were clearly a wing and drumstick and I assume the other was a thigh cut in half. I checked it to see as it was dark in the restaurant by touching it.

Also 7 dollars for drip coffee is outrageous. The drink prices and food prices are in separate worlds. The food pricing and taste were good. The service was mediocre.

I ordered the Loxes, which was described as scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, tomatoes, onions, pickled red onions, sour cream, daikon sprouts, fresh dill, sourdough toast, and a choice of grilled potatoes or mixed greens. On paper, it sounded like a flavorful and satisfying combination, but unfortunately, the execution fell well short of expectations. The first disappointment was that the entire dish arrived only slightly warm--closer to room temperature than freshly prepared. Eggs and smoked salmon are at their best when served at the proper temperature, and the lukewarm presentation made the meal feel like it had been sitting for a while before reaching the table. The smoked salmon also didn't taste particularly fresh. It lacked the clean, delicate flavor and silky texture you'd expect from quality lox. The sourdough toast was another letdown, as it tasted stale rather than crisp on the outside and soft inside. Combined with the underwhelming salmon, it made the meal feel less like something prepared to order and more like an afterthought. Flavor-wise, everything was surprisingly flat. Despite the variety of ingredients--fresh dill, pickled onions, sour cream, tomatoes, and sprouts--nothing really came together into a memorable dish. It wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't something I'd crave or recommend. At $19.95, I expected much better quality, freshness, and attention to detail. There are plenty of brunch spots in Los Angeles serving more flavorful, better-executed meals at this price point. One positive worth mentioning is the free parking in the back, which is definitely convenient in an area where parking can often be a hassle. Unfortunately, convenient parking alone isn't enough to make up for a disappointing meal. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.
