    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.

    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!

    Spoiler Alert! Boneyard Bistro is now the best place in Sherman Oaks to get pizza. You may think…read moreI'm crazy, but it's true. This longstanding BBQ stop on Ventura, with fantastic Q and a bunch of recently-added creative dishes like Brisket Dan Dan Noodles and Shawarma-Spiced Salmon, is also baking pizza at a level of quality and taste that most full-blown pizza places never achieve. I've been eyeing Boneyard's pizza for a while. When I first saw it on the menu I thought it was a gimmick. Then, I saw other people ordering various pies, and they all looked fantastic. So, last night I popped in by myself, sat the bar and ordered the House Made Spicy Fennel Sausage Pizza -- and let me tell you, this is NOT a gimmick of any kind. The crust is born of an expertly made dough that's clearly given time to rise and rest before being drafted for service. As such, the crust arrives crispy on the outside, airy and light inside, and sturdy enough to hold the other components. This is huge, because so many places taking pride in serving traditional Neopolitan Pizza deliver pies with charred crusts that turn to disintegrated soup in the center. Not here. With that solid base set, the layer of smoky tomato sauce makes its presence known but remains a foundation, supporting the very flavorful smoked mozzarella without adding too much acid or sweet. By the way, that smoked mozz gives off tons of flavor and also offers a very satisfying chew. The titular Spicy Fennel Sausage boasts a terrific, herbaceous flavor of its own, but isn't really all that spicy. There's a little heat to it, but it's perfectly balanced with everything else -- so if the word "spicy" normally scares you, you have no reason to be afraid. What you DO have is every reason in the world to eat this pizza. The 12" pie is hearty and filling. Plenty for 2 people to share, or for a single to take some home (as I did) -- but I wouldn't give you the side-eye if you ate it all by yourself, because YOLO. And since YOLO, I suggest you eschew the rest of the local pizza purveyors, order up a pie at Boneyard, and see what all my shouting's about. Guaranteed, from then on you'll also be shouting, "hey everyone, let's go get pizza at the barbecue place!

Music was pumping and place was clean, kind of busy, and I did make reservations online. Okay, now to the food... I so wanted to love their BBQ, but it just missed the target by a smidge. We got the following, three way tray, fried mac & cheese, potato salad, deviled eggs, KPOP sticky ribs, and smoked brisket Dan Dan noodles. I will say the star of the show has to be the KPOP sticky ribs but everything else was not memorable and as I type, nothing is sticking out and making me drool and go WOW, I need to have that dish again!! I will say they make a good Shirley Temple and they gave us a free dessert since we were celebrating our BDays and services is on point, 100% quality service. Unfortunately, they just fell short with their BBQ. I wish I had more pics but it was a hot minute since I seen my two friends so we were just talking and eating and catching up.

I've been hesitant because it is in a trickier area, but I had no issues pulling in or parking! They have a few spots in the front, but otherwise I'm sure there is parking around the neighborhood. You walk inside to order and it is not a fancy looking place, but the people cooking the meat definitely know what they're doing!! It felt like an authentic Texas bbq spot. I didn't want the frills, I just wanted good food and that's what I got. I sat at a little table outside which was perfectly pleasant! The road wasn't too loud or anything. But really, the sandwich was SO good. I doused it in the spicy bbq and added the pickles and coleslaw and I ate the WHOLE thing. I shouldn't have. But it was great!! I want to come back and try their other bbq meats and sides!! I loved the pulled pork sandwich and would recommend sharing it if you do order it. Yum!! The service was great, too!!

    The accurate rain forecast changed our Sunday adventuring plans, but considering the food we were…read moregoing to get into, BBQ felt like a sensible substitute. We hadn't visited since February, 2020. Before the pandemic might as well have been 10 years ago, if the world shut down 6 years ago. We were overdue for a followup visit. Judging by how the food went down, we were sore for it. We ordered the Big Tex: four meats and four sides - tri-tip, brisket, pulled pork and links; kale greens, bbq beans, mac and cheese and fries. We opted for the cornbread in the roll slot. It should be the top meats in your order, by premium scale and availability, but more often than they should be, the brisket/tri-tip selections are, 90%, obligatory orders. I think I have a love/hate relationship with the way LA treats the pepperoni pizza of bbq meats. Swinging Door broke us off proper though. Not too fatty. Great tenderism. And the accompanying sauce complemented the smoked all stars, rather than compensated for lack of flavor. Didn't stop me from loving their Whiskey bbq sauce though. The beans were a true bbq side, swimming in a mild sauce and containing lovely chunks of link. And the kale greens - sheesh - I think they might've switched to kale since our first visit. An effective exercise in alternative ruffage that holds seasoning and jucies for a similar bbq/soulfoud bite. We live further away now. Took the food to go, to prevent the intermittent rain from foiling more of our plans. It traveled well. And since I'm using our leftover bbq sauce on every other meal I cook, I'd say we successfully made do with our lunch substitute.

(At a rib joint, the nerve) but it wasn't my plate so oh well. First note this is a pick up spot only there is an ordering counter that no more than 4 people can be in at a time. The street is super dark and desolate looking it feels like an industrial area think City of Industry. There's no parking well there's one spot to park for pick up. The street parking is filled with what looked like broken down type cars the four I seen had chalk writing like tow yards do. To the food!!! Ordered 2 two meat meals that come with 2 sides. Not a piece of bread or muffin was included. Please notice the dry @$$ pulled pork? and I got 4 pieces of a rib tip that was the same as 1 maybe 2 real tips ANYWHERE else.the tips were chopped into 2-4 pieces from one full tip. So I really feel cheated and I was frigging hungry -hungry. The pork was dry and couldn't be swallowed without the bbq sauce and drink. She ordered a hot link with ribs and added a side of ribs for an additional $24. The sides came in a small container I had Mac n cheese and greens which every bite I was like wish I had cornbread to add to these greens. While she had greens and the sweet potato (which by the way was the best thing they had going on) the Mac was average I'm about to reheat and toast again before I hit send for this review. Reheated the side of ribs, greens and Mac and it's a bit better than the pulled pork, but this definitely isn't a bbq spot I'd advise anyone to go to nor would I dare try without bbq sauce and a lot of it. Dessert banana pudding last time I was here the desserts were pretty good. This tasted like the yoplait whips yogurts consistency and like knock of Nila wafers I was just sooo utterly disappointed.
