    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.

    Eww. I went to a Sweetgreen about five years ago and should have learned my lesson. But my wife…read morehad never been and I guess she needed to learn a lesson, too. 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.

Brett went out of her way to make sure our experience was the best possible. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about customer satisfaction. She even gave us extra salad dressing without hesitation, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. While the prices at Mendocino Farms are on the higher side, the quality of the food makes it completely worth it. The salads are original, incredibly tasty, and consistently fantastic. What truly sets this place apart for me is personal: my mother has a chronic illness and often has very little appetite. One of the *only* things she reliably eats--and genuinely enjoys--are the salads here. Even on days when she says she has no appetite at all, the Mendocino Farms salads are a sure thing. That says everything about the care, quality, and flavor of the food. Great service, outstanding management, and food that truly makes a difference. Highly recommended.

Food came out pretty fast and they were decently busy The miso salmon 4.5/5 was delicious but just a little over priced, definitely still worth trying though The fried chicken sandwich 5/5 and potato wedges were excellent. Kinda wish the potatoes were a little crispier but they were fully cooked and delicious. Got the hot sauce on side cuz sometimes not a fan of places "Nashville" hot .. but this one was really good Mimosa flight is actually EXCELLENT 5/5 .. the are all delicious but having blood orange and regular orange is a little redundant.. blood orange was better so would love to see regular orange into something fun .. also the bottle version coming with all 3 options .. but would still order the flight every visit Puff cakes are basically tiny pancakes 4/5 .. maybe pancake/angel food cake .. if you order this as a dessert it's great .. as a meal it's lacking .. lemon cream one was fire Cookies were good, s'mores thing was decent. Red velvet donut was dry Overall pumped to go back and try other items for sure

    How can anyone give this lovely, charming, cozy, beautiful, quaint, bright restaurant anything but…read more5 stars?? Well, since I heard so much about this place, I wanted to give them a try. I am SO glad that I did. Walked in yesterday around 12;15pm, grabbed a menu and stood in line. They had a long line and the line was moving pretty fast. By the time that I got to the register it was 12:30pm. The way that this place works, you stand in line, place your order, they give you a number, grab a table (inside or outside) and they will bring out the food to you. Pretty easy and simple. Caleb H. rang me up for a few dishes that my friend Ana and I ordered. We got: Omelette, ($19.95), came with hashbrowns. Added 4 ingredients: Tomatoes, Spinach, Red Bell Peppers, Cheddar/Jack Cheese and for an additional Garlic Mushrooms, paid $0.95 cents. (I can't eat my omelette w/out Mushrooms). It just doesn't taste right. Then, I ordered their Avocado Toast ($13.95), Nikki's style. They had 2 different kinds. The toast came with Prosciutto Ham, Avocado mashed with lemon, topped with a Sunny egg, Chimichurri, Allepo pepper sauce and lettuce. We also got Chicken Caprese Sandwich ($16.95) that came with Oven roasted shaved chicken breast, Basil pesto aioli, Arugula, Tomatoes, fresh Mozzarella cheese, Balsamic glaze, toasted Ciabatta bread and a side of salad. For a drink I got 12oz freshly squeezed Orange Juice, ($6.00), she stayed with water. We were greedy and I got Coffee Cake Muffin ($4.50), and another dessert Bread Pudding was treated by their general Manager by the name of Daniel. Such a sweet gesture. I think they saw my Yelp tote bag, :-)) Food came out pretty quickly and it was piping hot considering that they had a lot of customers on a Saturday afternoon. We sat inside, because outside was very crowded. Everything tasted above and beyond fresh and DELICIOUS!! Portions were generous and HUGE!! Wendy brought out our food, and all 3, Ernesto, Wendy, and Daniel checked on us couple of times. I think I pretty much covered everything. They had 2 gender neutral restrooms and they were fully stocked with all the essentials. Both the restaurant & bathrooms were very clean. Underground parking, (1st 90 minutes was free with validation). Also street, meter, parking were available. I can't wait for my next visit. Thank you all very much!! They also have another location in Porter Ranch..

Ordering is now done through your phone, or, if you're like me and prefer human interaction, you can walk up to the counter and place your order there. Unfortunately, the traditional waiter-service (although there was a bottle of water on the table) experience is gone, which took away some of the charm that restaurants used to offer. For me, that was a bit of a disappointment. Ironically, I still found myself tipping the cashier. As for the food, there were some highlights. My wife's avocado toast was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. My chilaquiles were tasty as well, but not without issues. The eggs were cooked over easy and were much runnier than I would have preferred, and the chicken portion was surprisingly sparse. Overall, the meal was good, but the experience felt a little less personal than it used to. The food still has its moments, but I have to admit, I liked the old Blu Jam better.
